I had moved to recently to Des Moines and was looking for a new dental clinic. I had been with my previous dental practice for over 26 years and was 52 years old before I had my first cavity. I like to support my local businesses and did a lot of research before trying Des Moines Dental. I can say that this practice deserves all of the positive reviews it gets. Your experience starts as soon as you walk in and you are greeted by Aimee and Lei who make up "Team Awesome Girls." They are always friendly, efficient, and ready to assist you with the check-in process. I was taken to the back right on time with minimal waiting. I feel everyone goes out of their way to make sure you are comfortable as soon as you sit in the chair. You get a headset playing the music of your choice, are offered various flavors of cleaning paste, and you are told exactly what is happening every step of the way. Dr. Reeves has a kind demeanor and took the time to visit with me a bit the first time we met. I appreciated his professionalism and attention to detail. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone.

I am new to the area and was seeking a dental practice that offered all services. Unfortunately, I developed an abscess which required an emergency visit. Dr. Dorantes took the time to explain all the options and performed the procedure at that visit. He is now my new dentist. I highly recommend the entire practice!

To add to comment (or in case it didn’t send): I stand by my initial comment because it’s consistently the same.🥰 Besides the kind & friendly people who are there to help me maintain my teeth, the appts. are punctual and when there had been as emergency no-show in the past, the office knows me well enough to not be punitive, due to major health “ups & downs“. Always making me feel welcomed and comforted. Thank you, Helen Hsieh
