Town of West Bend, WI – It was a bittersweet move for the family at Gentle Dental Emporium as the team worked to relocate its locally owned practice from 533 S. Main Street in West Bend to the northwest corner of Highway P and County Highway NN/Rusco Road.
Construction on the 3,400-square-foot facility began in October 2020.
Dr. Kristine K. Neuburg DDS and her husband were busy directing traffic, lifting boxes, and organizing. “Welcome to the GTE,” said Neuburg. “We’re all still working and getting things moved in. We’re so excited, this is going to be so much fun.”

The new Gentle Dental Emporium has a decorative entry with a waiting room that features high ceilings, plenty of natural light, an elegant stone fireplace and the traditional red topped gumball machine with prizes.
The new office has eight rooms with four for doctor operation and four for hygiene.
Chris Schmidt from Schmidt Building Co. designed the location and Preferred Dental Services was hired to layout the individual rooms.
Dr. Neuburg’s dad Kenneth Bero started the Gentle Dental practice. A 1980 dental school graduate, Bero worked at a practice on the second floor of a building on Hawthorn Drive and S. Main Street before stepping out on his own.
“I can’t believe how gorgeous and unique this is… it reminds me of my daughter,” said Bero.
Some of the recognizable artwork from the old location on S. Main Street will be placed in the entryway of the new practice.
The new office will open Wednesday, August 25 to see patients and a grand opening will be held possibly in September.
