Smile! You're in good hands.  Plum Drive Dental and our satellite office- Panora Dental.

We take great satisfaction in helping you maintain optimal oral health. Our practice is devoted to comprehensive and preventative patient care that includes white fillings, tooth colored all white zirconium or captek (porcelain and gold underlay) crowns (aka caps) and bridges (fixed in place tooth replacement prosthesis), or beautiful and more highly esthetic crowns and bridges all of which are very natural looking, to implants ( single tooth replacement, multiple teeth replacement ,denture retention), mini implants for denture stability when you have severe loss of bone and a traditional implant just wont work, braces (conventional 24 month braces and esthetic braces lasting 4 to 9 months with an average of 6 months thus callled 6 Month Braces  TM), root canals, periodontal therapies (gum treatments including root planing and scaling aka deep cleaning, to laser debridment and surgical corrective therapies) removal of teeth including wisdom teeth, veneers (both traditional full prep veneers and minimal prep Lumineers TM , treatment for clenching and grinding called "bruxism", TMJ therapies (this is when you can have one or more of the following problems: water feeling in the ear, jaw pain, headaches, migraines, dificulty with chewing, popping or clicking or grinding of the jaw whenever it moves) snoring and sleep apnea appliance therapy for those that have mild to moderate sleep apnea and are unable to utilize a breathing machine for whatever reason-usually they just cant adjust to it, cancer screening not only visually but also with the sapphire lesion detection system (this is the technology used by gynocologists for many years for the early detection of cervical cancer adapted for use in the oral cavity), preventive care and cosmetic procedures because it is a known fact that the first thing people look at is your mouth, and those with a healthy, beautiful smiles tend to live happier lives, are healthier, and make more money. So as you can see, dentistry is much more than just teeth. Study after study are finding direct links between the health of your mouth/oral cavity to problems in the rest of the body such as diabetes, high blood pressure, premature birth weight, prostate cancer/problems, heart disease and many more. It seems that every day, a new study comes out showing the link from mouth to body., and you shouldnt trust that to just anyone. You need someone trained and well aware of the linkage and how things work together (or against each other).

If you've ever wanted that fabulous smile that others are jealous of, you've come to the right place, or if you are in need of some professional maintenance, or are just tired of poor service in this world, we are here for you. I personally hate going somewhere where there is poor service and because of that,our treatment modality is the exact opposite. We are always striving for the best customer service, not only in Des Moines,Urbandale or surrounding towns but in the state of Iowa and even the entire United States. We will gladly take any requests or suggestions you might have.

Are you the nervous type of patient? or just dislike going to the dentist? WE have what you need: we offer nitrous oxide ( also called laughing gas ), direct tv with your own personal headphones, comfortable treatment chairs, blankets and pillows and sedation modalities to help you through it. We realize that the mouth is a very private and personal space and no one likes to go to the dentist, so we try to make it as enjoyable as possible just for you.

Our patients are our most important asset, and we strive to develop long-lasting, trusting relationships with all of our patients. We promise to provide you with the best care possible utilizing the newest and latest techniques and the best materials available. Customer service is number one, should you find your experience at our facility less than you expected, please dont hesitate to let us know-as we are continuously trying to improve to provide you with the best possible dental experience- if you dont tell us, we wont know, and if we dont know, we cant fix it. But if you find a staff member that goes above and beyond your expectation, please let them know how they made your appointment special in anyway including a small written note to them. You have no idea how much this means to them.
