Our Story

Dr. Patricia McConnell moved to Wisconsin after graduating from the University of Iowa College of Dentistry. She was an associate in 3 dental offices until opening her own practice, Artistic Smiles Dentistry, S.C., in 2003. Dr. McConnell has three grown children and is happily empty-nesting with her husband, Dr. Montgomery (Monk) Elmer. She enjoys volunteering at the Tri-County Dental Clinic, attending continuing education, cooking, and travel.

Dr. Lap Nguyen (pronounced "win") joined our team in January 2021, is originally from Maryland, and graduated from Midwestern Dental school in Chicago. He enjoys all aspects of general dentistry, but is especially skilled in extractions and root canals. He will soon be placing implants in our office as well. He enjoys spending time with his family and dog.

Our team enjoys delivering family dental care in Appleton and the surrounding area. We excel in using our CEREC machine to deliver same-day crowns and scanning for clear retainer teeth straightening called Clear Correct. With this process, there are NO impressions!
