 "My goal is to treat you with the utmost respect as a person and as a patient of our Pella dentist office. We encourage open and honest conversations regarding dental health care and any special needs that you may have. We strive to provide the highest quality of dental care available, while avoiding treatment fads and gimmicks. We want our work to be beautiful, long lasting and feel natural to you.  I believe it is a privilege to be your choice of Pella dentists and it is my goal to provide you with the same care I would desire for my family, my staff and myself.


Testimonials

I had been having TMJ pain for multiple months and was only able to eat soft foods. After seeing a myofunctional therapist, she recommended a tongue tie release before starting therapy to help with my jaw pain. I had no idea of all the positive effects of having this small procedure! On my ride home from Pella to Des Moines, I could articulate words better; until this time, I'd always felt it took concentrated attention to speak clearly. Neck and upper back pain had become a normal part of life, which is now gone completely as well. Waking frequently at night and being awake for hours at a time was typical. Now, I'm sleeping much better. I anticipated that this was just the beginning of helping with my TMJ pain, so it took me by surprise when so many other things improved. This has enabled me to live life more fully and functionally.

Dahm Dental really is a special place, and is unlike any dental office I have ever been in. I was absolutely amazed with how much your practice has to offer to your patients. You put so much thought into each treatment plan and making sure you're providing the best and most effective care to improve both your patient's health, and lives. You inspire me to want to do the same throughout my career. Thank you for being patient, thank you for all you taught me, and thank you for what you do every single day for your community.
