We believe that meeting your dentist beforehand puts patients and parents at ease! Get to know the many talented and passionate dentists here at Childrens Dental Center of Central Iowa who have dedicated themselves to ensuring your child has a radiant smile!
Plus, we are the Midwests FIRST pediatric laser dentist! We use multiple types of lasers to solve a variety of problems, from tooth decay and canker sores to the correction of tongue and lip ties. No other pediatric dental office in the Midwest has this level of expertise in laser dentistry for kids!
I wish I could go here as an adult! They have an awesome waiting area with a video game room for the kids, the staff are all wonderful, both dentists are amazing! I could not recommend a better pediatric dental office. They were able to squeeze my daughter in same day for tooth pain and made her feel very special and calmed all of her anxieties, I would give them more stars if I could!
My oldest child had a poor experience at the dentist before we went here. It was amazing! The staff was super friendly and informative. They were awesome with all my kids. The kids had a good time and are actually excited to come back for their next visit!
At Childrens Dental Center of Central Iowa, we provide the highest quality care in a fun, child-friendly setting. We want your child to think of the dentist as their best buddy and thats why weve equipped our facility with the latest dental innovations, such as our laser dentistry services, specially designed for pediatric patients.
At Childrens Dental Center of Central Iowa, Dr. Jim Shealy, Dr. Danielle Bryan and our team understand the importance of our role: to help your child develop excellent oral health and a great attitude about dental care, and to feel valued!
Childrens Dental Center of Central Iowa is the first laser dentistry practice in Iowa. Laser dentistry utilizes the latest technology to provide a quick, virtually pain-free experience. Using this innovative technology, the dental procedure is less invasive and more convenient for patients and their families, so children can get back to school and parents can get back to work the same day!
We really do want you and your kids to feel welcome here. From the time children walk in to the last goodbye, it is our goal that your childs dental visit be as pleasant and fun as possible. Children learn and deal with their world through play. Because of that, you will see many opportunities for kids to play in our office.
Dr. Shealy and Dr. Bryan are playful with kids to establish a relationship with them from their very first visit. You will find that the doctors frequently interact with children more than with parents. Our goal is to make our office a place that children understand is specifically for them, not just another adult environment that they are expected to adapt to. Learning from an early age that seeing the dentist is fun and enjoyable sets a great foundation for the rest of their life.
What Sets Us Apart? Our team genuinely loves kids, so we work hard to create a safe, comfortable and fun experience for everyone who walks through our doors! Sure, we focus on education and prevention, but we do it all in a playful space that fosters learning. It doesnt get much better than that! Because here at Childrens Dental Center of Central Iowa, we dont just care for smiles we create them.
We deliver fun, not fear. By filling our office with fun touches, like games in our waiting areas and ceiling TVs in our treatment rooms, weve made going to the dentist like going on a playdate no stress, all smiles. We put attention on prevention. We treat and teach at every visit because we know that when kids learn healthy habits early, it leads to a lifetime of great oral health. We also make every lesson fun because happy kids keep coming back, ensuring healthier teeth and gums. Moms and dads, would you partner with us? Lets work together to teach your child this valuable lesson: prevention is the key to a healthy smile for life. Were kid experts. Were not just dental professionals. Were kid experts! In fact, most of us are parents just like you, and weve dedicated our entire careers to caring for little teeth and mouths. We tailor our approach to fit each childs personality, helping to build a strong doctor-patient relationship. And nervous little guys have nothing to fear! Our gentle dentists know how to comfort even the most apprehensive patients. So, get ready for the unbelievable! Before long, your child is going to love going to the dentist.

Thank you so much for taking care of my son. It was his first time going and he loved it. He was really excited about picking out a toy and his gift bag. Thank you

Dentist and dental assistants are very pleasant and my kids love it. The problem is with the receptionists who I met this day. I felt they handled me as if I am stupid and cannot make a decision for my child when I tried to decline x-ray. There is a difference between educating and pushing and I definitely felt pushed to accept the x-ray.

They were absolutely amazing with my children! Ranging ages 18 months to 8 years old. They knew how to interact with them and got us in and out in good time. So glad we found them!

They cared for my children wonderfully, which I very much appreciate. But, I got different information from the tech than I did from the doctor and that doesn't sit well with me and makes it hard to trust them.

We have such a great visit everytime we go. Everyone is always polite and even when my 5yr old is being a pain in the butt and not wanting to work with them they always are calm and get him to get what needs done, done.
