Downtown Dental Care Des Moines

Great staff!!!

Dr Riley has outstanding bedside manners, he is very knowledgeable, he listens and address all of your concerns. He doesn’t rush the care. I am grateful to be under his care.

If you need a new dental hygenist, definitely ask for Mejrima! She's the best!

Friendly, professional team from start to finish. The front office is welcoming, the hygiene staff is thorough, and the dentist is knowledgeable and caring!

Dr. Riley is the best dentist I've ever had. He is so thorough, calm and compassionate. He explains everything and helps you feel at ease. His staff is top-notch also. They are all incredibly friendly and professional. I recommend him to everyone looking for a dentist.

I almost never leave reviews but felt compelled to after this experience. I have always had a fear of dentists as I have always been sensitive and hate the scraping and poking to the point of needing to be heavily numbed or put on laughing gas just to get through a cleaning. I have been putting this visit off for far too long, but in a way, Im glad I did just so that I could find this location. All staff are friendly and welcoming, as well as understanding. The exam rooms dont feel clinical, and I never felt looked down on for the health of my teeth like I have felt in the past. The office didnt feel chaotic, and the exam rooms even had tvs which was a welcome distraction. The woman doing my cleaning (I am terrible with names, i am so sorry) was willing to slow down if I ever needed a second, adjusted when necessary, talked me through everything all while never making me feel like I was being ridiculous or a bother. Atter looking over my xrays, we discussed a plan and answered all my questions with care and let me know that I am always welcome to reach out for questions or concerns. This is only my first visit, but I dont dread the follow ups. 10/10 across the board- only thing I cant yet judge is the financial side but from what I can tell, theyre fairly flexible. Definitely highly recommend especially for anyone with anxieties around dentists.

From scheduling to checkout, the experience was AMAZING. I was able to get in same day for an urgent issue and the team and Dr. Ryan had so much compassion. I am excited to be a returning patient. They even have an instruction card that states what works with the medication prescribed. :)

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Riley and his entire team. I’ve had three appointments so far, and every single experience has been exceptional. When I had a concern, they were able to get me in the very next day, and then scheduled me the following week to take care of the issue, which truly meant so much to me. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated with kindness. Joni at the front desk is always so welcoming and friendly. Holly, Dr. Riley’s dental assistant, was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely at ease. My hygienist, Lauren, was so sweet and made me feel right at home during my cleaning. Above all, Dr. Riley is absolutely amazing; sweet, extremely gentle, and clearly very skilled. Hands down, this is the best dentist and dental office I have ever been to. I actually feel comfortable and confident going to the dentist now, which I never thought I’d say. Highly recommend to anyone looking for outstanding dental care!

Everyone here is so wonderful and friendly! From the minute you walk in you instantly feel the calming presence of the entire office. I have personally had a difficult time going to the dentist in the past but my concerns and fears are always addressed, validated, and then decrease by every hygienist and Dr. Riley! Could not say better about this practice! Highly recommend this office to anyone who would like calming energy at the dentist!!!!
