Meet our Dental Team
Our dentists & dental team believe every patient is unique. We also believe that there is a relationship between your dental health and your overall wellness. Our dentists work from an individualized framework, where your treatment plans take into account your personal experiences and health history.
At The Dental Center we know your time is valuable; it is a part of our mission to offer you timely, quality care that addresses both your long- and short-term dental needs. We believe working from this framework will provide you positive dental experiences that help you avoid more extensive dental work in the future.
We are focused on keeping you healthy, receiving the care you need, deserve & can afford. With those goals in mind we are committed to up-keeping important digital imaging tools that simplify problem identification and unnecessary or irrelevant procedures.
We are dental practitioners who are passionate about helping others maintain their oral health!
As a private, local business, we’re proud to serve our fellow Cedar Rapids and Hiawatha, IA community members!

🦷 What is Phase I Orthodontics?
Phase I starts while kids still have a mix of baby and adult teeth—usually around ages 6–10.
✨ Why do we recommend it?
Phase I isn’t about getting a perfect smile right now. It’s about guiding growth and setting the stage for a healthier, easier future smile.
✔️ Creates room for incoming adult teeth
✔️ Helps correct bite or jaw growth issues early
✔️ Can reduce the need for extractions or more complex treatment later
✔️ May shorten (or simplify!) Phase II treatment in the teen years
👀 Not every child needs Phase I, but for the right patient, early treatment can make a big difference.
If your child is around age 7 and hasn’t had an orthodontic evaluation yet, now is a great time to get scheduled!
Early looks = smart planning. 😊
