Imagine. It's Friday…read moreand you just slammed your work computer shut for the day. You're basking in pre-weekend bliss, about to enjoy a half hour of peace before picking up your kiddos and starting a jam packed Mother's Day weekend. You then receive a call from your kiddos' elementary school. DUN DUN DUNNNNNN. It's the school nurse. Your seven year old was running in PE class, was tripped by a classmate and gracefully broke his fall with his two front teeth. You're told to both call a dentist immediately and come get him. Well that went 0 to 100 REAL quick. You then contact your family dentist (not The Children's Dental Center) and they get him in within the hour. The next half hour involves bribes, restraints, screaming, kicking, hitting and tears. It is traumatizing for all involved, but especially the kiddo missing literally half of both of his front teeth. Nope-- that is not going to work-- a pediatric dentist is needed. We left with a list of referrals with a kiddo still sans front teeth. I called Dr Jenn on a Friday (they're closed) and left a desperate message on both the office's line and her emergency line. She got back to within 15 minutes saying since I was not a current patient she could not help immediately but gave me a plan of action in the mean time. I really appreciated that, even if I couldn't get in feeling heard eased my mind. Fast forward to Monday and her office called me by 8AM and had set up an appointment for 3:30PM that day. (I couldn't get into any other pediatric dentist that day-- or that week in some cases.) I didn't even know that dentist office lived there, just off 965 on Oakdale. What a nice location! We arrived and instantly were impressed the whimsical decor of the waiting room. The staff is INSANELY cheerful, knowledgeable and kind. We waiting a whopping five minutes and were taken to the room. Luke was so happy to find Bluey playing on the ceiling TV. Laughing gas was used (it smelled like oranges). Dr. Jenn was patient and really eased Luke's mind. We all left SO MUCH LESS TRAUMATIZED and, most importantly, with our teeth intact. Huzzah. (They were even able to use the broken off pieces for repair? Mind blowing.) Additionally, kids leave with a token to use for a prize machine. What a nice touch! They truly have thought of everything at The Children's Dental Center. I have to note: as you can imagine, something like rebuilding a majority of two front teeth isn't cheap. And while we have insurance, it is nice to be in the know prior to the procedure what exactly is being sent to Delta Dental. I did really appreciate being shown the charges before so there were no surprises. Thank you for that. I have a nine year old and a seven year old-- we have never used a pediatric dentist until now. I feel like we would have had SO much better experiences had we. The infinite patience shown by every staff member was mind blowing and the tricks they can pull of out their sleeves are endless compared to the average family dentist. I without a doubt recommend Dr Jenn and her team at The Children's Dental Center and Luke will continue going there until he can't!

I would tend to agree with Brigid to some degree as Dr. Nowysz seems to always find things you need…read moreto get done and insists upon what I would describe as "add ons" that you don't really need. I also got a reminder e-mail from the clinic that I should go in for more dental work to take advantage of the full insurance allocation for the fiscal year - or something to that effect. I don't approach dental care with such a financial gain perspective nor of going after work you don't really need simply to maximize your benefits out. Rather, I would prefer to get the work done that I need without doing excessive work or adding on a host of additional services that aren't actually essential or really needed. Having said that, Dr. Nowysz and her team are always extremely nice and friendly. She was great with my kids and I had a positive dental exam the one time I did see her. She also does charitable work for free in Latin America routinely and I have a huge amount of respect for that and her voluntary spirit. So I would recommend her, but be firm in saying "no" if you get the impression she is proposing additional things you don't actually need or perhaps get the feeling she is exaggerating an issue that might not be as intensive as she suggested (she had a high priority treatment my daughter needed which I declined as we were traveling and two years later my daughter's teeth are just fine, no issues so obviously the treatment wasn't that critical or urgent).

I can't say enough good things about Iowa City Dental Clinic. I called with a dental emergency…read moreafter cracking a tooth, and the pain was intense. To make matters more stressful, it was a Friday--when many dental offices aren't even open. They answered the phone, took my situation seriously, and got me in to see a dentist right away. It turned out I needed a root canal, and they went above and beyond by getting me an appointment with an endodontist that same afternoon. The coordination and urgency they showed made a huge difference in what could have been a miserable experience. I should also mention that we were brand new to Iowa City and hadn't even established care with a dentist yet. We had just moved from Sacramento, where we loved our longtime dentist and honestly didn't expect to find comparable care so quickly. Iowa City Dental Clinic exceeded my expectations. The care was not only excellent, but genuinely compassionate. In addition to treating me, they provided excellent referrals, which helped me quickly get top-notch follow-up care here in Iowa City. I'm incredibly grateful for how they handled everything during a stressful situation. Highly recommend this clinic--especially if you need urgent care and want to be treated with professionalism, kindness, and efficiency.

I was able to get in and get the crown done in a reasonable timeframe. The crown took one visit, and it was perfect. It looks exactly like my natural teeth and fits perfectly along with its neighbors. Dr. Connors uses high tech 3D imaging (rather than biting a mold and making a cast) to create the plan for the crown, and then synthesizes it right there in the office while you watch. And then it's ready to install. Amazing! It is obvious that Dr. Connors is a master of her craft and I am extremely happy to have her as my dentist!
