About Excellence in Dentistry - Madison
Mid-treatment transfers from another dentist are common here, with Dr. Batchelor and Dr. Sauve credited for picking up care smoothly.
Excellence in Dentistry is a general dental practice in Madison that also offers Invisalign, traditional braces, clear aligners, and TMJ treatment. Many reviews come from patients who transferred mid-treatment from a previous dentist, and they describe Dr. Batchelor and Dr. Sauve as picking up where prior care left off without disruption.

I’ve been coming here for years and have always had a great experience. Today I had to have my first ever filling done and was so nervous. Dr. Batchelor was so kind and patient, taking the time to explain everything and making the whole experience completely painless.
