“Quality dental care in Madison”
In 1969, a group of five dentists, led by Drs. Daro A. Buchanan and Richard O’Brien, formed Dental Health Associates of Madison (DHA). Both dentists were single practitioners for 15 years, but saw the need for a complete range of services at a single location. Since DHA’s inception in the late 1960’s, the concept of dentists joining together has provided many benefits for both the patients and the practitioners. As a group, our dentists recognize that peer review and shared consultation, as well

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.
Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.
Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.
Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.
