I recently had my first appointment with Dr. Kim at Waukee Dental and my experience was awesome! The office was very clean and inviting, and they even had a children’s area with a tablet to keep kids preoccupied if needed. Sarah was my hygienist for my cleaning and she did a great job. I think it was probably the least painful cleaning I’ve ever had. Dr. Kim was wonderful as well! She was very kind and personable, and I never felt like I was being rushed out of there so she could move onto the next patient, which is something I’ve experienced with other dentists in the past. It was the best dental appointment I’ve had in years and I would highly recommend Dr. Kim and Waukee Dental to anyone looking for a new dentist.

I am so thankful for Erica and Dr. Allison. I had a very traumatic experience as a child going to the dentist and getting a lot of teeth pulled, they have completely eased all of my worries of coming back to the dentist as an adult. I was very nervous about coming back after so long and a little embarrassed. They did not make me feel judged at all and educated me. Dr. Allison had to numb my mouth today and made it so quick and easy. They are amazing!

Had a wonderful first time visit to Waukee Dental, the office is new and very nice. The staff were extremely friendly and Dr Kim was excellent, very easy to talk with and did a great job building rapport with and put my child at ease in a new environment…which is NOT an easy thing to do! 100% recommended and will be back again.

CREATING BRIGHT SMILES


EMERGENCY PAIN & SERVICES


Tooth pain is a certain kind of pain. It is hard to even focus, let alone work or sleep. If you or a family member is suffering from one of these ailments, give us a call right away. The Waukee Dental team will be able to get you comfortable once again.

Your Emergency Visit

The Waukee Dental Office uses an emergency messaging system after hours so Dr. Brown is always reachable. When you call, please give us as much information as possible so we can be ready to help you out when you arrive.

The information we need includes;

  • Which teeth or tooth is bothering you
  • Whether there was trauma or recent damage to the area
  • How long it has been going on

Even if you are nervous about calling us because you do not think it is too serious, we would rather talk to you and come up with a plan. Tooth pain can go from mild to serious in a hurry.
