Dentist - Waupun & Beaver Dam, WI

Thomas W. Katz, DDS

Dr. Katz’s motto is “plan for the future without forgetting to enjoy today to the fullest,” and it’s easy to see how this approach fits right in with his dentistry. He is proud to work closely with Dr. Metzger and Dr. Truckenbrod in order to help patients enjoy brighter smiles and lead better lives.

Where Did You Study Dentistry?

Dr. Thomas Katz graduated from Marquette University School of Dentistry in 1977 and began his dental practice in Columbus, Wisconsin the same year. Additionally, he embraced CEREC technology in 1998 by purchasing the CEREC 2. As one of only a handful of CEREC users at the time, he was a pioneer in creating and placing anterior crowns with regularity. With the introduction of CEREC 3 and subsequent Cerec 3D, combined with Dr. Katz’s passion and enthusiasm for pushing the limits of CEREC technology, true one-day smile makeovers became a reality. A cosmetic and complex case practitioner, Dr. Katz has given numerous lectures on anterior esthetics and continues to pioneer the way to new ideas for helping patients achieve their dream of a new beautiful smile in a few hours.
