Your new favorite dentist
Dr. Sarah Blair
Dr. Blair’s path to dentistry was a little bit different, and that’s exactly what shapes how she practices today. Before dental school, she spent years traveling, excelling in customer service (even by Midwest standards), and learning how much it matters to feel heard and cared for.
She worked as a dental assistant before ever stepping into dental school, so she understood patient care from the inside out long before earning her DDS from Marquette University School of Dentistry. She’s always loved science, and dentistry clicked because it combined her natural knack for problem-solving with artistry and compassion.
Dr. Blair went on to own and grow a small dental practice into a very successful one, eventually handing it off to new owners it so she could focus on helping other dentists improve how their practices run and how patients feel. That experience shaped how she practices today. She learned that when care is clear, it feels kinder, and that empathy matters just as much as the clinical work.
Now, she’s back doing what she loves most: taking care of patients. Milwaukee is home, and Third Ward Dental is too. This is where she gets to bring everything she’s learned into one place, creating an experience that feels calm, clear, and genuinely welcoming. She believes great dentistry starts with listening, explaining things in a way that makes sense, and making sure you feel comfortable and confident every step of the way.
She's more than just a dentist
Dr. Blair spent three and a half years living aboard a sailboat and sailing in Central America with her husband, Mark, and their dog.
Skiing, sailing, cycling, hiking, running, and stand-up paddle boarding. If it involves fresh air, she’s in.
She’s all about Lake Michigan sunrises, biking the Oak Leaf Trail, taking her dog to Lake Shore State Park, and calling the Third Ward home.

First visits are a breeeeeeze
Start with a conversation
Every visit begins with a sit-down conversation led by Dr. Blair. Before exams, scans, or treatment, we take time to get to know you, understand your goals, and answer your questions so you feel comfortable from the start.
Get the full picture
Once we’re aligned, we gather detailed information using modern imaging and digital scans. This includes advanced dental imaging and 3D facial scans that help us understand your smile from the inside out, without making the process feel overwhelming.
Create a plan together
Get excited! With everything clearly explained, we talk through your options and create a plan together. You’ll know what’s recommended, why it matters, and what the next steps look like before moving forward.
