Looking for a cosmetic dentist near Jackson Park in Milwaukee? Lake Park Dental's office is on Milwaukee's East Side. You'll find us at 2524 E Webster Pl, Suite 201, Milwaukee, WI 53211. We're inside Downer Lakeview Commons, a block off Downer Avenue. We've cared for the East Side since 2012.
We're a functional and cosmetic practice. That means we look at your whole mouth and how it works. Not just the tooth in front of us. A veneer has to look right in the mirror. But it also has to meet its neighbor when you bite into an apple. Both matter here.
Dr. Beau Schneiss, DMD, owns the practice. He's a Wisconsin native who came home after eight years practicing near Chicago. He earned his DMD at Midwestern University Illinois College of Dental Medicine. He then trained in hospital-based residencies at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center and the University of Oklahoma.
Dr. Schneiss holds Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD). He also holds Associate Fellowship in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID). Fewer than 6% of dentists in the United States hold either distinction.
Dr. Jessica Messerschmidt, DDS, earned her degree at Marquette University. Before dentistry, she taught kindergarten for six years in Wisconsin and North Carolina. It shows in how she explains the why behind every plan. She's a member of the American Dental Association, the Wisconsin Dental Association, and the Greater Milwaukee Dental Association.
Our cosmetic work runs from one small chip to a full rebuild. Here's what we offer:
Custom handmade porcelain veneers
KöR Whitening
Invisalign clear aligners
Digital Smile Design
Composite bonding
Smile makeovers
Full mouth dental implants / Teeth in a Day
Metal-free restorations
Ceramic inlays and onlays
Dental crowns
Gum contouring and enamel shaping
Our porcelain veneers are handmade by a master ceramist. That's artistry-grade work, not lab-line shortcuts. Each veneer is shaped by hand. The aim is simple. A smile that looks like yours, only better.
We also place zirconia implants. They're a metal-free, ceramic alternative to titanium. Few Milwaukee practices offer them. They fit our holistic approach, along with metal-free restorations and fluoride-free options. If you'd rather keep metal out of your mouth, we can talk it through.
What to Expect From Consultation to a Finished Smile
Many people living near Jackson Park put off cosmetic dentistry because they don't know what the process involves or what it will cost. This practice follows a set sequence, so you know what happens at each step and nothing is decided for you.
Step one is reaching out by phone or through the contact page. Consultations happen in person only. There are no virtual consults, and the practice does not quote prices before an evaluation. That policy exists because a fair estimate depends on what the doctor finds in your mouth.
At your visit, the doctor sits down with you for an exam that isn't rushed. Instead of focusing only on the tooth that bothers you, the doctor evaluates your whole mouth and how it functions, including your bite, wear patterns, gums, and how your teeth meet when you chew. A cosmetic result lasts longer when it is built on a healthy, stable foundation.
CBCT 3D imaging, used when needed, gives a three-dimensional view of bone and structures that flat images can miss.
iTero digital scanning creates a precise model of your teeth without the messy impression molds many patients dread.
Digital X-rays use up to 90% less radiation than traditional film.
Digital Smile Design lets you preview the planned result before any treatment begins, so you can see the goal and react to it.
Next comes the conversation. The doctor explains the reasoning behind each recommendation, not just what is suggested. You then receive a written plan and price before any treatment starts. You decide at your own pace, whether that takes a day or a few months. If the full plan is more than you want to take on at once, treatment can be phased over time to fit your schedule and budget.
Anxious about the chair? The practice offers a full sedation menu for procedures: nitrous oxide, oral sedation, twilight anesthesia, IV sedation, and general anesthesia. You and the doctor can match the level of sedation to the procedure and to how comfortable you feel.
If straightening is part of your plan, Invisalign is the practice's orthodontic option. Its clear aligners work well for adults who want to improve alignment discreetly before or alongside other cosmetic work.
It also helps to understand payment before you arrive. The practice is fee-for-service and out-of-network with every insurance plan. You pay the practice directly, and it gives you detailed receipts you can submit to your insurer for reimbursement. Check your plan's out-of-network benefits ahead of time so you know roughly what may come back to you.

Visiting the Office on Milwaukee's East Side
The practice is located at 2524 E Webster Pl, Suite 201, Milwaukee, WI 53211, inside Downer Lakeview Commons. The building sits a block off Downer Avenue, the East Side's familiar stretch of cafes, bookshops, and storefronts, so it is easy to find even on a first visit. The office is within walking distance of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee campus and a few minutes from Lake Park. That makes it a practical stop for students, faculty, and residents who already spend time in this part of the city.
Parking is straightforward, which is not always true on the East Side. Patients can use the free on-site lot, and free street parking is also available along Webster Place. If you are driving in from a suburb, add a few minutes to your trip in case traffic on Downer Avenue or the lot is busier than usual. That cushion lets you check in without rushing.
The building is wheelchair accessible in three areas:
Entrance: accessible entry into the building
Parking lot: accessible parking on site
Restroom: an accessible restroom for patients and companions
If you or a family member uses a mobility aid, mention it when you schedule. The team can then plan your arrival and seating ahead of time.
The office keeps a weekday schedule, so plan your visit around these posted hours:
Monday: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Tuesday through Thursday: 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Monday offers the longest window, which helps if you need a late-afternoon appointment after work or class. Tuesday through Thursday close at 3 p.m., so early-morning slots tend to work best for people with standard office jobs. If your cosmetic plan involves more than one visit, book follow-ups at checkout to secure times that fit your routine.
Patients come from across the Milwaukee area. The practice states that it serves these communities:
Lakefront and central Milwaukee: East Side, Third Ward, Bay View, Riverwest
North Shore and Ozaukee County: Shorewood, Whitefish Bay, Fox Point, Mequon, Cedarburg
West and southwest communities: Wauwatosa, Brookfield, Elm Grove, Menomonee Falls, Germantown, Sussex, New Berlin, Franklin, Hales Corners, Greenfield
South shore: St. Francis, Cudahy
For North Shore residents, the trip down Lake Drive or Oakland Avenue is usually short. Patients from Wauwatosa, Brookfield, and other western suburbs often take I-94 toward downtown before heading north to the East Side. Those coming from Bay View, St. Francis, or Cudahy can follow the lakefront via I-794 and Lincoln Memorial Drive.
