Patients often comment on his humor, his efficiency, and the way he puts even nervous patients at ease. He has served as president of both the Iowa Academy of General Dentistry and the Linn County Dental Society, but his proudest accomplishment is the trust he has earned from generations of Cedar Rapids families.

What You Can Expect at Our Dental Office
A Low-Pressure, Judgment-Free Experience
Dental anxiety is real, and we take it seriously. From the moment you schedule, we listen to your concerns and move at your pace. Our patients tell us they feel "not nervous at all" and that their "anxieties disappeared." We do not lecture or pressure you. We explain your options clearly and let you decide.
Advanced Technology, Familiar Faces
We use tools like the iTero digital scanner for fast, accurate impressions and offer PerioProtect for gum health. Yet the technology never replaces the personal connection. You will see the same friendly faces visit after visit, and they will know your name.
Flexible Financing and Insurance Welcome
Cost should never keep you from great dental care. We accept all dental insurance and file claims for you as a courtesy. If you do not have insurance, we offer an in-office membership plan (Clerri), plus flexible financing through Cherry, GreenState Credit Union, and CareCredit. For procedures over $500, we give a 5% discount when you prepay. Learn more on our Insurance & Financing page.
