“We’re passionate about getting better every day because it’s personal for me. I’ve been there with my own dental problems, airway problems, and sleeping issues. So I know first-hand the real life-change that better solutions can give our patients.”
A Wisconsin Native Returns Home
After eight years of honing his craft in Chicagoland's competitive dental landscape, Dr. Schneiss has returned to his Wisconsin roots to lead Lake Park Dental. Born and raised in West Bend, he brings a unique combination of Midwest values and big-city expertise to Milwaukee's East Side. As a kid, Dr. Schneiss was that rare breed who actually looked forward to dental visits. He loved (and still does!) going to the dentist for check ups and was not upset if he ever had a little cavity because…it meant he got to go back and see everyone.
Credentials That Matter
Dr. Schneiss earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) from Midwestern University Illinois College of Dental Medicine, where he discovered firsthand how a healthy smile transforms not just teeth, but entire lives. Following graduation, he went on to complete a General Practice Residency at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center where he had the honor and privilege of treating the individuals who served our great nation. Dr. Schneiss has been in practice for 10 years, and continues to train using the most advanced technology to gather extensive knowledge in the practice of dentistry. A rigorous and multi year process, he achieved Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry and Associate Fellowship in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, an academic credential only 6% of dentists in the United States share.
A Different Approach to Dentistry
Dr. Schneiss's practice philosophy is refreshingly straightforward: appreciate and collaborate with those around you, maintain unwavering ethics, and everything else falls into place. It's an approach that resonates particularly well with Milwaukee professionals who value authentic relationships over transactional healthcare.What does this mean for you? It means appointments that never feel rushed. Treatment plans explained in plain English, with your comfort and understanding prioritized at every step. Dr. Schneiss believes the best dental care happens when patients feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for.
Beyond the Dental Chair
When he's not perfecting smiles, you might spot Dr. Schneiss at one of Milwaukee's local coffee shops (he's admittedly particular about his brew), cooking healthy food, lifting weights or doing Crossfit, attempting to fly fish on Wisconsin's streams, or skiing new slopes when winter calls. He's also on a mission to visit every National Park.
Your Partner in Premium Dental Care
For patients seeking dental care that matches their standards in every other aspect of life, Dr. Schneiss offers something rare: technical excellence paired with genuine warmth. He understands that your time is valuable, your expectations are high, and your smile is an essential part of your presence. Whether you're interested in advanced cosmetic procedures, holistic and functional dentistry, complex restorative work, or simply maintaining optimal oral health with a provider who takes the time to do things right, Dr. Schneiss looks forward to welcoming you to Lake Park Dental.

Dr. Messerschmidt originally came to Milwaukee to begin her first career as a kindergarten teacher. After teaching for six years in Wisconsin and North Carolina she decided to pursue dentistry because it combines her love for people, art and science. She continues to be so grateful for the skills she learned as a teacher and is a firm believer in educating patients so they understand the “why” behind their dental treatment. Dr. Messerschmidt pursued her dental education at Marquette University and has been practicing as a general dentist in the greater Milwaukee area. She maintains memberships with the American Dental Association, the Wisconsin Dental Association, and the Greater Milwaukee Dental Association. She is committed to lifelong learning and regularly seeks out continuing education courses in order to best treat her patients.
When she isn’t at the office you’ll likely find Dr. Messerschmidt with her sixteen month old daughter, Evelyn, and husband, Brian. Chasing after Evie, renovating their bungalow and checking hikes off of “Wisconsin’s 50 Best Hikes” keep her busy!
Dr. Messerschmidt feels establishing relationships with her patients is the best part of her job and she can’t wait to meet you! Please reach out to schedule your next appointment and welcome her to the practice! We look forward to seeing you soon.

Inspired by her father, Dr. Graham pursued dentistry to make a meaningful impact. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Spanish with a premed minor from Arizona State University, then completed her Doctor of Dental Surgery at Marquette University School of Dentistry.

She's a founding member of AAPMD's Endeavor and actively participates in ASAP and IATP. She also donates dental services locally and overseas.
Outside the office, Dr. Graham enjoys yoga, hiking, reading, and exploring Milwaukee's outdoors. She's married to her husband who makes her laugh daily, and is a devoted mom to daughters Penelope, Ada, and Vera, plus their dogs Steve and Laura, Bengal cats Jacob and EJ, and even a pet scorpion!
Immersed in motherhood and dentistry, she embraces the beautiful chaos that makes her life an unforgettable journey.
Motivated by changing lives through FUNCTIONAL dentistry, Dr. Graham is passionate about helping her patients feel better, look better, and be better. She also loves to get to know those she serves, “I learn something from each patient I treat; different life perspectives help me grow, not only as a dentist, but as a person as well.”

Dr. Graham also enjoys providing free dental services with the underserved both locally and overseas.
Beyond the office, she enjoys training for triathlons, traveling, hiking, moss (seriously odd obsession), reading, exploring the various culinary delights of the city, attending summer festivals, and cheering on the Brewers, Packers, and Badgers. She’s happily married to a “big-bearded man who makes her laugh every day” and loves being “Mama to Penelope (3), Ada (1), and to the diaper dogs, Steve and Laura.” Absolutely immersed in mamahood and dentistry, she welcomes the beautiful and chaotic blend that makes her life an unforgettable journey.
