Dr. Craig A. Aswegan, DDS

Monona’s east side has a quiet rhythm of small clinics tucked between grocery stores and coffee shops. One of them, Dr. Craig A. Aswegan, DDS, sits on River Place just off Winnequah Road, where the street curves around the Yahara River. The office handles the usual dental lineup—cleanings, fillings, crowns, and root canals—without the downtown traffic or parking headaches. Residents from the surrounding blocks often walk over, especially when the weather cooperates and the river path is clear.

You’ll find the practice at 604 River Pl Monona, WI 53716, a low-slung brick building that blends into the neighborhood. Dental visits aren’t anyone’s favorite errand, but having one close to home makes the routine a little easier. They offer preventive care alongside restorative work, so whether it’s a check-up or a cracked molar, the same spot covers it. Kids and adults both end up in the chair here, usually on referral from neighbors or friends who’ve already sat in it.

Appointments line up quickly, so calling ahead is the way to go. Reach them at (608) 222-9142 to book a slot or ask about treatments. For directions, pull up the map here. It’s the kind of place you drive past every week without thinking, until the day you need it.
