When considering a career, Eileen thought about nursing or teaching but chose the dentistry field because it combines elements of both. The best part of her job is assisting patients with preventing and treating oral disease to improve their overall health.
Outside of the office, Eileen enjoys spending time with her family, baking, sewing, gardening, listening to vinyl records, and tending to her backyard chickens. Her favorite quote is, 'We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.'
Michelle is originally from Marion, Iowa, and graduated from the Kirkwood Dental Assisting program in 1996. She's passionate about getting to know her patients and helping them reach optimal dental health.
When meeting each patient, Michelle can empathize with their needs and, along with Dr. Joyner, teaches them about the best treatment options. In addition, she and the entire team are committed to learning new techniques that improve patient care for faster, more effective, and more comfortable dental procedures.
I've been coming for several years and always have as good of an experience as possible. I was one who avoided the dentist for a long time and the team has helped get my teeth and gums into a much healthier spot. Good knowledge and very calm.
LANAP (Laser Assisted NEW Attachment Procedure) is the only scientifically researched and proven dental laser treatment that promotes new bone growth as well as gum tissue reattachment. Its FDA-approved and offers more success and less pain than traditional surgical treatments.
The LANAP procedure targets the source of gum disease and inflammation without harming or removing healthy gum tissue. This means less downtime and recovery for patients. If you have periodontal problems, then turn to one of Eastern Iowas leading dental offices for a safe and effective treatment.
I would recommend Joyner Dental Arts to everybody! The staff is always very nice and they care a lot about the comfort of their patients. I hate going to the dentist, but Dr. Deb and her staff make it a much more tolerable thing for me to do!
Best experience with a dentist that Ive had by far. Called with a broken tooth and the absolute worse pain in my life. Set me up for 9 am the next day. Called me an hour later and got me in immediately today. Was in and out, feeling the best Ive felt in 5 days. Will definitely make a return trip.
Yes, but we advise against it because most emergency rooms, urgent care facilities, and hospitals dont have dentists on staff. This means theyre likely only able to provide antibiotics or pain medication to ease your symptoms, not treat the actual problem. Therefore, youll still need to see a dentist.

Absolutely amazing! My SO has severe anxiety with the dentist...let me tell you. They ease every thing along seamlessly so that you barely realize it's a dental visit. Quick/painless and reasonably priced for the outstanding care you receive. I look forward to hopefully transferring to here myself!

Very friendly and professional. Procedure(cavities/fillings) was as pleasant as could be and so was the staff. During the procedure they made sure to ask if I was doing ok several times. They answered all of the questions I had. I was allowed to use two different methods of payment which was very convenient.

I have extreme anxiety at the dentist. Like heartrate was at 126 extreme!...when i tell you this is the best dentist i have ever seen-- i mean the absolute BEST. The care, the compassion the empathy. I had an infected wisdom tooth i was dealing with for a month bc i didnt want to go in. They removed it carefully and she even reached out to me personally that night to check on me. The passion that is in this place resonates with the care they give...she is the only person i will ever trust with my pearly whites. Go see her you will not be disappointed!

I would recommend Joyner Dental Arts to all my friends and family. I had broke a tooth and went here for first time I was highly impressed with their professionalism and amazing staff. I ended up getting my first crown and it was obvious that Dr. Joyner was experienced and showed a genuine interest. The process was virtually pain free. I was 100% satisfied and will definitely go back!!

Dr. Joyner is a very caring professional who knows her trade at a very high level. Recently I was traveling from the east coast to the west coast and broke a tooth. I contacted her after hours because of the level of urgency. She said she would fit me in the next morning. Her work was accurate and outstanding as she crafted a needed crown that morning for me. I highly recommend this excellent dentist.
