Des Moines Area Dentist Recommendations?

[cyclone101]

Title says it all. No longer going to the dentist from back home and looking for a good dentist in the Des Moines area. I'm a little freaked out by the whole dentist experience so the more gentle they are, the better.

Thanks in advance!

This is a bit of a drive up to Ogden, but I always had a good experience with Dr. Platt...

Gateway Dental between downtown and Sherman Hill. Dr Steve Burds. The best of the best. Schedule an appt and see for yourself.

I go to Gateway too and love it. My only complaint is they spam me with appointment reminders on every phone and email I've given them, and get pissy if you dont respond confirming the appointment. I like that I don't feel like they're going to do extra unnecessary work.

I go to Country Club Dental in West Des Moines, staff is friendly, and Dr. Dehoogh is great.

My wife and I have been using West Des Moines Dental Center since 2016 and have been extremely happy with Dr Meyer and Edwards.

1701 22nd St #101, West Des Moines, IA 50266

We chose this office because several friends recommended it. But a great benefit we enjoy is that it's half way between downtown (where she works) and West Des Moines (where I work).

Youtube it. You can save lots of money doing it yourself.

If you work downtown, I'd recommend Dr Grask at Hub Dental. Nice small office. Can walk to it from work so you don't have to burn 1/2 day every 6 mos for a checkup. Both wife and I have been going to him since 2001ish.

I'll second Dr Steve. Super nice hygienists, too.

Burn a half day? How long does your dentist take? I do appointments at 7 am & am usually to work by 8-8:30.

Love the 7am appointments.

Yeah even the times I've had to get a filling I was gone from work 2 hours at most.

OK...so I exaggerated just a tad. My point is if he works downtown, can save yourself some time.

It it takes me a little over 10 mins round trip (walking) for dentist office. I can't get to my car and out of ramp in that amount of time....and then I'd have to drive to wherever dentist is located.

Just suggesting it is a nice advantage so might be worth considering. Pretty much get your 6 month checkup done on a 45 min lunch hr.
