Peddicord Family Dentistry is now OPEN and we have resumed seeing patients during our regular business hours!
We continue to work on accommodating those patients with urgent dental needs who weren’t able to be seen due to our temporary closure. Our schedulers will be working hard to reach out to those whose appointments were canceled during the shutdown and those who have scheduled appointments in the upcoming months that may need to be rescheduled. We appreciate your patience as we work to accommodate everyone as best we can.
Your health and well-being continue to be our highest priority, and we are comfortable reopening because we have carefully planned and revised our office procedures to greatly minimize the risk of infection for our patients and our team members.
For your peace of mind, we are implementing several additional measures to ensure both a safe and comfortable dental experience, including the following:
We know that there will be changes and new procedures around every corner in our community. And here at Peddicord Family Dentistry, we will be embracing a new normal as well. We will continue to evaluate both our existing procedures as well as our new policies to ensure we provide the highest level of safety to both our patients and our team. Our goal is to help you feel as confident as we do that any visit you make to our office will be a safe one.
To schedule an appointment, or ask us any questions you may have about your next visit, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 515-963-3339. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends!
Sincerely,

If you have lost one or more of your natural teeth, then you may need treatment. Otherwise, serious complications could begin to arise that impact everything from your ability to eat to your facial structure. To address more minor cases, your Ankeny, IA, dentist may craft a dental bridge. In today’s blog, we’re going to look at how we support them with dental implant technology.
Lately we’ve talked a lot about fillings, crowns, and root canal treatment, all of which are designed to prevent the loss of a decayed or infected tooth. However, sometimes we actually need to remove a tooth to help preserve your oral health. In today’s blog, your Ankeny, IA, dentist will look at dental extractions, and what happens after we remove one.
We offer far more than a dental filling to repair teeth with damage or issues like cavities. In order to provide a more lifelike and long-lasting solution, one that matches the dimensions and shade of your teeth, we may suggest a crown. In today’s blog, your Ankeny, IA, dentist will talk about the benefits of a dental crown, and when you need to see our team for repair.
A cavity often needs a filling, but what happens when a tooth becomes infected and needs more than a simple filling? In order to bring a stop to discomfort and prevent a missing tooth, we treat infections with an endodontic procedure known as a root canal. In today’s blog, your Ankeny, IA, dentist is talking about how we perform a root canal treatment.
When you develop a cavity, lack of treatment could mean painful aches and sensitivity in the tooth, as well as an increased risk of dental infection. Fortunately, we have treatments to halt decay and ensure your smile continues to look natural! With our composite resin dental fillings, your Ankeny, IA, dentist has a durable and long-lasting solution to tooth decay.
If you need major changes to your smile’s appearance, that doesn’t necessarily mean you must endure several visits and multiple procedures. Instead, your Ankeny, IA, dentist may use one or more custom-made restorations known as porcelain veneers to transform the beauty of your smile! In today’s blog, we’re looking at the benefits of our custom veneers.
Teeth whitening helps address stained teeth, but what if you also have a chipped or misshapen tooth? In today’s blog, your Ankeny, IA, dentist discusses how we improve the beauty and function of a smile in a single visit with dental bonding and contouring.
While many store-bought products promise dramatic results from home, they often lead to minor whitening and sensitive teeth. Fortunately, your Ankeny, IA, dentist provides a professional alternative with our custom trays and bleaching gel. With our home-based teeth whitening option, you may be able to enjoy teeth brightened by several different shades, with dramatic results that last for months to come!
When we grind our teeth or clench our jaw on a regular basis, this is referred to as bruxism. Unless treated, bruxism could cause damage to your smile and lead to serious complications. Fortunately, your Ankeny, IA, dentist knows how to identify and treat this serious oral health concern, protecting the health and function of your smile.
If you begin to exhibit the warning signs of periodontal troubles, such as gingivitis or gum disease, then treatment could be crucial for managing these issues and preventing worsening conditions. In fact, lack of treatment for gum problems could mean an increased risk of tooth loss. In today’s blog, your Ankeny, IA, dentist looks at the benefits of a deep cleaning.
