About Iowa Dental Group
Iowa Dental Group is a dental practice on 63rd Street in the Merle Hay area of Des Moines, Iowa. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth at the root, not just the crown — a small titanium post is placed in the jaw bone and, once it has integrated over a period of months, a replacement tooth is attached to it. It is generally the most durable option for a single missing tooth or several.
A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.
Cosmetic dentistry covers treatment aimed primarily at appearance — whitening, veneers, bonding, and reshaping among the more common options — for patients who are less concerned with a problem that hurts than with how their smile looks day to day. The right combination depends on what specifically you would like to change.
Emergency dental care covers sudden problems that will not wait for a routine appointment — severe pain, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, swelling, or a lost filling that leaves a tooth exposed. Same-day or urgent appointments are the point of an emergency service, rather than the standard multi-week booking window.
Professional teeth whitening uses a peroxide-based gel, applied under supervision at a strength stronger than anything sold over the counter, to lift years of staining from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. It works on natural enamel only — existing crowns, veneers, and fillings keep whatever shade they were made in.
At the core of a general dental practice is preventive and restorative care: checkups, professional cleanings, fillings, and screening for decay and gum disease before either becomes a bigger problem. It is the kind of appointment most people need on a routine schedule rather than only when something hurts.

Who is ever happy to go to the dentist? ME!! I have been going to this dentist office since 1977. Dr Polydoran isn’t here but I bet he would have really liked Dr Nick Economus A LOT! I know I do. All the staff are tremendous and it is a happy place. Nice job Bob.
Front desk ladies incredibly rude and unhelpful. She hung up on me while trying to reschedule and when I called back she laughed at me and hung up again. Super unprofessional.
Great staff! Thank you Dr. Nick for making my smile look great!
Dr. Bob Margeas and his crew are the absolute best! I’ve been seeing him 35 years and he is the smartest, most kind and humble dentist. He has done miracles for my teeth and I think the world of him and ALL the staff in his office. He takes care of his people and you can tell that everyone loves working there. It’s truly more than a dentist office, it’s like visiting family! When I leave, I ALWAYS have a smile on my face. I highly recommend Dr. Robert Margeas and his office. They will take care of you!
Had been going to this office for almost 15 years. Loved our hygienist! After she retired my youngest need some work done. Up to this point everyone in my family had only needed cleanings. The dentist wasn't in the room for 5 minutes before he declared my kids was not cooperating and abruptly left. My kid did not yell or act rude, they say quietly. The dentist did not explain anything to my child about what was happening. He only made demands and rudely left when those demands were not met. My entire family has switched to a different dentist. This clinic should remove kids dentistry from their services offered. Side note the work they were going to do on my kid's teeth was wrong. Since the dentist doesn't have experience with kids he miss diagnosed what was needed.
I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Margeas for a small cosmetic issue with a tooth from a recommendation from my current Dentist. I have heard from many people (including my own dentist) that he was the best in cosmetic dentistry any where in the mid-west. My consultation was this morning. He was totally upfront about what he thinks the best route is for me and my teeth. I felt totally comfortable with his recommendations and confident in his abilities. I've been to an other dentist about this same issue years ago and it didn't feel right. Now that I've had the consultation with Dr. Margeas, I'm excited to finally move forward with fixing it. Every staff member was very welcoming and pleasant. It was a really nice place to be with a great energy there. If I didn't like my normal dentist so much, I'd absolutely become a regular there! Maybe I'll pop in for an extra cleaning or something. I'm happy to have found Dr. Margeas and his staff to help me correct my cosmetic issue. I highly recommend this business!
Dr Marges and his staff are top notch! A wonderful, welcoming environment and Dr Marges is so kind, hilarious, a great guy, and brilliant! He has been my dentist for the past 27 years and I've never had a great experience every single time. Dr Barber is great too!!
