Dentists in West Des Moines

“8/13/25 my visit today was so good. I was shocked at how awesome (Tina?) the hygienist cleaned my teeth. She removed so much of my coffee stain from my teeth, that they actually looked white again! I was super thrilled :)
THANK YOU for such a wonderful job and taking such care of my teeth! GREAT VISIT!!!!

4/30/25 my visit today was a great one. My dentist said my extraction areas were healing nicely and things looked much better. She also visited with me on partials and my options. I will give my options more thought and then will let her know what I am in favor of doing. Then, a mold will be made and the partial process will begin. I obtained some adequate detail to help me start my thought process on choosing which partial to go with. I left today's appointment feeling far more confident going forward. My dentist also smoothed out the tooth she had to separate from the bridge she had to take out. It feels much, much smoother against my tongue now :). Overall a very good visit today!!“

“Service unlike any other I've experienced. The assistants are welcoming and comforting. Sherry does her absolute best to assist in figuring out how and what options work for you. The dentists are thorough and clear. I'm happy to have found this dental office.“

“Everyone there is very friendly. I have to say this is the best Dental Center I've ever been to! The receptionists are very friendly, the hygienist are a delight to speak with and always make sure I'm doing ok throughout my cleanings and the Dentist is absolutely wonderful. They have helped my teeth so much!“

“My experience went really well. I kept my anxiety at bay and my appointment went without a hitch. I Look forward to returning in 6 months.“

“Such an amazing team here. I hadn’t visited in several years because of moving across town. I tried other dental offices, and was not treated with the care, respect, patience and kindness that this office provides. I will gladly travel to receive care from the team here. Doctors, assistants and hygienists are more than willing to work with your comfort level, educate on different issues with grace and offer solutions with long term plans. Amazing!“

“Our family was looking for a new dentist that would be a good fit for everyone, but especially our kids now that they are getting older. Dr. Minnick and the team at Lakeview Family Dental were amazing. They were helpful and accommodating from the first phone call to the appointments. Everyone was welcoming and did a great job explaining things to my kids step by step so they felt comfortable. It was also the best cleaning I have had in years! They are thorough, knowledgeable, and take their time. Dr. Minnick took time to explain options and we never felt pressured into a certain plan of care. Most of all, we all felt comfortable and confident leaving the office… and had nice clean smiles! I am happy to have found them through all the wonderful reviews online and hope that if you are looking for a new dentist for yourself or your family that you will give the team at Lakeview Family Dental and Dr. Minnick a try!“

“I moved to Iowa and needed to find a new dentist. I really didn't think I'd find a place that met the same caliber of service I received in Chicago (which is supposed to be better because it's bigger right?!?! WRONG!). I'm so glad Country Club dental proved me wrong!! The front staff here is superb. They are friendly and available to answer questions. It has always been easy to schedule and reschedule my appointments. I also have not had any problems with them accepting my insurance. They even offer a membership plan so that you don't need insurance to have dental services here if you become a member! I was seen by Dr. Gray and his assistant Sammie. Both are absolutely fabulous. They are very friendly, funny, and personable. Two weeks ago I had a dental cleaning. Sammie was very gentle taking topical pictures of my teeth. I think there was another device used to detect the density of my teeth too. I was impressed (and never got this type of service in Chicago!). They really check for everything here! Dr. Gray thoroughly reviewed my teeth, X-rays, gum recession and density and photos of my teeth. I was really impressed with the examination and the technology used here. They really care about dental health. At the end of my appointment I was even given an option of a manual toothbrush or a sonicare type replacement head for my electric toothbrush. WHAT?!!? My mind was blown that I had these options! During my appointment I had mentioned that my Chicago dentist had recommended to fill cavities of two of my wisdom teeth and that I wanted to move forward with that procedure. I also mentioned that I was prescribed some special toothpaste to prevent further decay and wanted that refilled. Dr. Gray immediately called in the prescription to my pharmacy to refill the toothpaste and we scheduled another appointment for a cavity filling. Done and done! Today....two weeks later...I just got my two cavities filled and felt compelled to write this Yelp review for Dr Gray and his team at Country Club Dental (and these days I'm only writing reviews for those places that are truly special to me). I'm not the type of person that is usually scared of the dentist, but I was anxious today because of my small mouth and possible difficulty maneuvering within the small space. But they had all the tools necessary to make this experience SO EASY. My small mouth was not an issue at all and I did not feel any pain! I had to open my eyes every so often just to check if my mouth was still being worked on because I was so comfortable and didn't feel anything during the procedure! They also had a device (that amazed me because I never had it in Chicago) that allowed me to comfortably rest my mouth, while still keeping it open, and sucked up the particles/water in my mouth during the procedure. I'll be annoyed if Dr. Gray gets booked up because of this review but life isn't all about me so I'll be okay to share him and his team. ;-) I initially heard about Country Club dental from a friend who raved about Dr. Fung. I'm sure all the dentists here are wonderful but I'm sticking with Dr. Gray. =)“

“always hate going to the dentist. lol but always enjoy the prompt professional service. great attitudes, just nice people.“

“I've been a patient at Brighter Smiles since the practice opened. Dr. Fulton is a great dentist. She's very patient and caring. Her staff are amazing. I always look forward to my visit to Brighter Smiles. They are the best!“

“Dr. Cowherd is very kind and gentle, and so is the dental hygentist. I trust his decisions regarding my dental care.“

“Thanks DR. BRETT C. DEHOOGH! For getting me in quickly and giving me fair warning I could have some discomfort as opposed to having (Novocain or otherwise local anesthesia) pain medication. As expected! You did a great job on my procedure and so quickly too. Perfect!“

“From the minute I walked into the doors of Grand Dental I felt welcome Tom and Mel B said good morning. I commented I nice the plants were in the waiting area. I had a very short wait then Mia took me back to my exam room. Dr. Dan walked in shortly after and explained what I could expect during my exam in detailed. Had X-ray done. Dr Dan came back in explaining what he found on the x-rays and next steps. Then Colete cleaned my teeth. Checked out with Mel B and Dan. If you want an enjoyable experience going to the dentist Grand Dentist is the place to go.“

“Great environment, friendly staff, dentist was kind and very thorough with his job. Did everything correctly the first time!“

“I am very pleased with my results of my new teeth. They were very gentle and caring, with my anxiety of having my teeth pulled. I almost fainted they stopped everything and literally focused on me instead of hurrying to finish. That made me feel safe and like they really cared. I recommend them to anyone.“
