Are you available for dental emergencies after normal office hours?

Truly and Pacha
Native Iowans, they will sit in your lap if you let them, and they also will attempt to steal any food or snacks you bring into the waiting room. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
How about a spa treatment while you wait?
Soon you’ll be able to enjoy a manicure while your child receives treatment, or perhaps you’d like to spend some time in our massage chair while you wait. We think you’ve earned it. Contact us to learn more.
