I hate leaving a bad review on ANY company, but this really didn't work out very well. The doctor…read moredid a lot of work on a tooth, that had a gold crown. The crown eventually had worn a hole through it, and a cavity had developed. The doctor did the cavity repairs, and installed a new crown. That was several months ago. I had complained about the pain over the next few days. I began wondering at that point as to whether the doctor should have done a root canal. The doctor sent me to another doctor that "evaluated" it, and decided a root canal was not necessary at this time. I am on Social Security, and that second opinion cost me over $300 out-of-pocket. So now I have to find another dentist to fix this problem.

25 years ago I was in a bike accident and broke my two front teeth off. It happened in Ohio so…read morethey bonded the teeth but we never had crowns made. Dr Tippins convinced me to work with his team of him and his assistant Kristin, along with Jose and Steve of Iowa Crown. When my original reconstruction from years ago was done with the bonded material, I never felt like they were my real teeth. Not even close. They felt plastic and rough. I shared with Dr. Tippins' team that I wanted my new crowns to look like my original teeth. A little more feminine than the bonded teeth and to have the natural striation look of my real teeth. We worked back and forth for about 3 weeks. Complicating the matter was a root canal from many years ago on my No. 8 tooth. Because of the root canal, the color of the tooth stub underneath was dark. Which meant that the darkness could show through the opacity of the new crown. They came up with a solution for all the complications of my teeth, or lack there of. I've had my new crowns for 1 week now, and I couldn't be more excited, relived and happy with the result. Dr.Tippins and his team went to great lengths to make sure I was 100% happy with the results. I feel like I have real teeth again. They are smooth, they don't feel like plastic. They look like my other teeth, the color shading, the striations the depth of color and translucency. This team cared for me, took all of my worries about these teeth and created a beautiful solution. I've already found myself smiling more, I no longer feel the need to be self concious of my teeth! Thank you for caring!!!

UPDATED - July 2024…read more I miss the original doctor who founded this business - Dr. Tippins. He was genuinely friendly, caring, understanding and patient-focused and cared about me, my family, and our dental health. With Dr. Tippins's retirement and new ownership, it's no longer "wellness" focused. It's about billing for the maximum amount possible and giving all the "politically correct" reasons as to why they handle business this way. (I'm sure you'll read more of these in their reply to this updated review.) Sadly, after 30 years of service - I'm forced to find a new provide. ...anyone know where Dr. Tippins RETIRED?

Unfortunately, the tooth needed to be extracted, and it was by far the most painful extraction I've ever experienced. I've had other teeth extracted before, so I understand the difference between normal pressure and actual pain. I told Dr. Wiese several times that I was in pain, and I was in tears during the procedure, but no additional anesthetic was offered. I left feeling that my pain was not taken seriously. I was also disappointed that my prescription had not been sent to the pharmacy by 4:00 p.m. When I called, I was told their computer system had been down and that my prescription had been forgotten when the system came back online. While I appreciate being seen on short notice, the painful procedure and the lack of follow-through with my prescription left me with little confidence in the care I received. I will not be returning.

I admit I looked up which dentists were covered by insurance and found one closest to my house. I am glad that Iowa Dental Arts happened to be closest to my house, I have had great experiences with them! Arriving at the practice I wasn't sure what I would think, as they are located in a small house on Beaver Ave. I had driven past it many times and thought nothing of it, but once I entered the house I was happily greeted by a clean greeting area and pleasant staff. Dr. Dennis Winter is the sole dentist in the practice, as far as I know. He is a friendly, extremely competent dentist. I will admit I had a couple cavities and Dr. Winter was able to use a laser to clean the cavities and fill them in less than 45 minutes without anesthetic! He kept me informed during the entire procedure, letting me know what he was working on and what to expect. I appreciated his knowledge and comfortable demeanor with me as a patient. As a cool aside, the practice uses high-tech gear including mobile and email alerts of your upcoming appointments!
