After graduating from The University of Iowa College of Dentistry in 1990, Dr. Crowe-Haugstad practiced in Elgin, IL, during which time she opened her own practice. After ten years she sold the practice to her associate in order to make the move to Kenosha. Dr. Crowe-Haugstad joined the Library Park Dental team in 2001.
Continuing education and membership in dental associations keeps Dr. Crowe-Haugstad informed and up-to-date about new technology and techniques. She is a member of the American Dental Society, the Wisconsin Dental Society, the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, the Kenosha Dental Society and the Kenosha Implant Study Club.
As a general dentist, she offers various dental services but has a special interest in esthetics. With her artistic skills and attention to detail, Dr. Crowe-Haugstad is able to create beautiful smiles. Another special interest that Dr. Haugstad has is sleep apnea treatment which is an alternative for the C-Pap.
DIAGNOdent is a powerful new laser technology used for early detection and diagnosis of tooth decay. DIAGNOdent helps locate decay that is nearly invisible to the naked eye or that is hidden in the cracks and crevices of teeth. This allows us to treat the decay early, requiring less removal of the natural tooth structure. This allows the tooth to maintain its strength, and be less likely to crack or break easily in the future. Early decay detection means an easier and less costly treatment for you.
Similar to the medical CT scan, but with much less radiation, the 3D Cone Beam takes three-dimensional images of your tooth and surrounding oral structures. The clear, sharp images allow us to clearly see the tooth and its root structure as well as the jawbone, nerves and soft tissue. Since we are able to see the internal structures, we are more easily able to detect, diagnose and treat issues while they are small, and before they cause significant damage. The 3D Cone Beam allows us to diagnose and make recommendations so that you can make informed decisions about your needed treatment.
We now know that oral cancer claims one life every hour in the U.S. That is more than the number of lives lost to skin cancer, cervical cancer or Hodgkins disease, and it is of great concern to our doctors. This is especially true because oral cancer is one of the most curable diseases when caught early.
