Biologic Dentist in Green Bay, Wisconsin: Rebecca Havel DDS

By Kim Blaise, Founder of OraBiologics and author of Before You Say Yes to Dentistry

Short answer: Dr. Rebecca A. Havel DDS, SC, on Park Place in Ashwaubenon, is a vetted biologic practice and the SMART certified option for the Green Bay area. Dr. Havel is a Marquette trained dentist with a fellowship in neural occlusion, which makes this office unusual: it pairs biologic dentistry (ozone, PRF, ceramic implants, biocompatible materials) with TMJ and migraine treatment that does not rely on medication, splints or surgery.

Who is behind the practice

Dr. Havel is a lifelong Wisconsin resident who grew up in Algoma on the Lake Michigan shoreline. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology, cum laude, from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point in 1998 and her Doctor of Dental Surgery from Marquette University School of Dentistry in 2003. After nearly a decade in practice she opened her own office in 2012. She is a Fellow of the Center for Neural Occlusion, is certified in custom appliances for sleep apnea, and holds IAOMT and IABDM membership and SMART certification. Outside the office she has given time to the Oral Health Partnership of Brown County, which serves children who would otherwise go without care.

What makes this office different

Two things. First, the biologic foundation is complete for a practice of its size: ozone therapy, platelet rich fibrin, biocompatibility testing, biocompatible restorations, zirconia ceramic implants, laser periodontal treatment and gum grafting, and SMART certified mercury removal that protects patient and staff. Second, and this is what patients drive in from Appleton and Door County for, the practice treats headaches, migraines and TMJ pain through the bite. Disclusion Time Reduction (DTR) uses computerized bite measurement to find and remove the interferences that keep jaw muscles firing; the goal is relief without drugs or a night guard. For breathing, the office offers Vivos appliances for sleep apnea, Nightlase laser treatment for snoring, ALF therapy for jaw development, myofunctional therapy, and diode laser treatment.

In Dr. Havel's words

From the practice website:

"My staff and I are passionate about your care and value our patient relationships immensely, making it our priority to deliver gentle, compassionate care that you deserve from your dentist. We also believe that patients should have sufficient information to make educated decisions about their oral health, treatment options and choice of dentist."

Her stated mission is to deliver the highest quality of care, using current technology, in the most non invasive way possible.

Who this practice is a fit for

Anyone in northeast Wisconsin who wants mercury fillings removed under a certified protocol without traveling to Milwaukee or Chicago. Patients with chronic headaches, migraines or jaw pain who have tried splints and medication and want the bite itself evaluated. Patients who snore or have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and want a dental appliance option. And families, since the practice sees children as well as adults.

Rebecca Havel DDS is at 1543 Park Pl, Ashwaubenon (Green Bay), WI 54304.
