The interactions with the actual dentist are always pleasant but unfortunately can't say the same for the hygienist. Lowering the chair without notice, hovering tools over your face without asking you to open your mouth, not explaining what they are doing or why... Dead silence. Honestly felt like she was annoyed with me or something which is pretty bizarre because she'd hardly spoken to me. Literally no "chair-side manner". I do like the convenience of the location but I am considering going to a different practice.
I went here a week to the day of my review and had a great experience. Had an infected tooth that was causing me an extreme amount of pain and needed to come out. Dr. Tyler got me some antibiotics, and tooth out on the 14th! After a week I have had little to no pain at the extraction site, was able to get right back to work, and the surgical removal of the tooth went very smoothly and didn’t feel a thing. Thank you Dr. Tyler, and thank you Des Moines River Dental Care!
I called in the mid morning for a pain in my tooth and got me in that day. Very nice place friendly staff will recommend.
The best dentist I have ever been to! If you are needing a dentist I highly recommend this Dental Practice. We started going here after we got new Medicare insurance! I sure hope they keep accepting it. We absolutely love the staff and the dentist!
Everyone is very friendly. The dental hygienist was very thorough with the exam and explanations. Dr. Villiard, always pleasant and thorough, came in immediately for the exam. My husband and I have been going here for years and have no intention of going elsewhere.
