The Inspiration Behind Our Name
Apollonia Dental Wellness is named after St. Apollonia, the revered patron saint of dental ailments. A holy martyr of the early Church who suffered the loss of all her teeth, St. Apollonia's story is one of courage and steadfast faith, qualities that resonate deeply with our mission to respect the foundations of human health and promote healing. We are delighted to honor St. Apollonia’s legacy in our practice by sharing her story and living her principles.

Dr. Katherine A. Knabe brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to Apollonia Dental Wellness. Following her bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, she graduated from Marquette University School of Dentistry, receiving her doctorate in dental surgery along with a Certificate of Excellence in orofacial pain management. She then completed a fellowship in public health in the Fox Valley area of Wisconsin. Her insatiable interest in a biological approach to dentistry is inspired in part by growing up in a household that embraced the nutritional principles of Dr. Weston A. Price. The third eldest of nine active children, Dr. Knabe was raised on raw milk and a deep appreciation for traditional dietary fats. As a wife and mother, Dr. Knabe celebrates those same dietary traditions with every batch of slow-simmered bone broth she serves to her growing family. She maintains membership in both the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology as well as the International Academy of Biological Dental Medicine, wherein she collaborates and studies among the most distinguished integrative practitioners in dental medicine.
Dr. Knabe’s patients have come to love her personable bedside manner and engaging explanations. Her primary goal as an integrative dentist is to ensure that every appointment is an enriching experience that captures the reality of the oral-systemic connection and respects the individuality of the patient.
Our modern technology and advanced diagnostics play an important role in elevating the dental experience. Many patients have come to admire our innovative injection-free anesthesia, overhead T.V.’s, high-definition oral cameras, and digital radiography. The Apollonia Dental Wellness team is proud to embrace technological innovations in dentistry, in our commitment to providing integrative dental care.
