Our History

We've been around a while

Affiliated Dentists team

Today Affiliated Dentists Madison is a thriving practice operating out of two offices equipped with the latest in state-of-the-art technology and with a full complement of staff ready to offer a vast array of dental services. But, like most small businesses we emerged from more humble beginnings.

Dr. John Busby graduated from dental school in 1978 along with Dr. Wipperfurth and Dr. Wierwill. Those two started their own practices in Madison, but Dr. John Busby served in the military until 1983. Once out, Dr. John Busby started a new practice with Dr. Wipperfurth. Later he started the office known as Midvale Regent Dental Associates in Madison with Dr. McGary. Finally in 1997, all offices merged into one, forming what we now know as Affiliated Dentists.

Initially, we only had one office, our location off of River Place by Monona. However, our practice was growing fast, so in an effort to meet demand in 2003 we built our West office on Odana Road. That same year Dr. Miller graduated dental school and and we were pleased to welcome her to the team.

The practice continues to grow, and through the years we’ve continued to welcome new dentists to our team. Dr. Mark Gustavson joined in 2007, Dr. Laura Peles in 2009. Dr. Maggie Smith in 2012. Dr. Brian Porter joined in 2013 and, most recently, Dr. Susie Dendinger joined in 2017.

And while our team has grown, we remain informed by the notion that our success is measured by the experiences of each of our patients. We strive to offer our patients the best dental care but we also know how much it means to them that we also remember their name.

East Office Reviews

  • As a first time patient I was able to get an appointment quickly due to an emerging problem. The dentist and assistant were pleasant and explained everything as well as treatment options. This was a 5 star experience
  • I love Dr. Miller, Teresa my hygienist and Affiliated Dentists. I always get good care here. I was able to get in for an appointment quickly after a bike accident and tooth issue, and Dr. Miller fixed everything for me today. Everyone is friendly and skilled here.
  • Teresa is the best hygentist- she’s efficient, gentle & profesional yet friendly! She makes my cleanings so easy. I’ve never enjoyed going to the dentist but having Teresa as my hygienist makes my visits so much better! Dr Gustavson is great too- very professional, knowledgeable & friendly. I’... Read More

West Office Reviews

  • I love Affiliated Dentists. I hadn't been to the dentist in about 5 years or more due to not having insurance, so I was a little nervous when I first went. However, they put me at ease right away, and I look forward to seeing my dentist and dental assistant whenever I do go in.
  • I've been going to Affiliated Dentists for a couple years now, and I couldn't be happier! My implants look fantastic, and all the ladies are always so friendly and helpful! I always tell them I miss the days when my mom would schedule and take me to the dentist and my dad would pay for it 😂. But ... Read More
  • Laura, Dental Hygienist was exceptionally thorough with my cleaning after a year long medical absence from getting my biyearly cleaning. She never hurried through my evaluation and cleaning. Again, Laura showed herself to be an exceptional professional.
