Do NOT recommend bringing kids here. Support staff was nice, didn't not enjoy experience with Dr. Winter.

Semir Crnkic

Absolutely the best place. Been with them since 2013. Always friendly and kind. I refuse to go to any other place. Iowa Dental Arts is amazing!!!

Mavis Nelson

The receptionists were very nice and helpful! The hygienist who cleaned my teeth was polite and made me feel right at home. Dr. Winter seemed very knowledgeable and professional. My favorite part was the beautiful paintings of Italy hung all around the office.

Melissa Church

Do NOT bring kids here. Support staff was very pleasant, did not have good experience otherwise, overpriced.

Holly Kay

Worse dentist office I've been to. The doctor don't stop talking long enough for you to explain your pain, he insinuates you are a drug user if you say the Tylenol 3's don't cut the pain and he is very rude. He kicks people out of his office because he won't shut up long enough for anyone to talk and tells you he is reporting to your insurance so you will lose it. I would never recommend this dentist to anyone. If anything I highly recommend NEVER going there!!

Amy Louck- Poier

They were extremely polite and very caring. They got me in very quickly, and helped me deal with the issues I was having. They have great high tech equipment, that not only they use; but they also show you your high resolution pictures so you may understand also. The cleaning was a great, and she was very gentle, and the dentist has 30 + yrs experience. I would recommend this office to anyone looking for great care, with amazing customer service.

Dennis Winter

Excellent doctor, excellent staff, excellent experience!

Jonathan B

This was my first visit to Iowa Dental Arts. I have to say that I was very happy with my overall visit. Sue was great at the counter and assisting me. Was friendly and helpful. Liz was absolutely wonderful. She made me feel like I was family. She had such a warm, great personality and excellent humor. She is top notch. I also really liked Dr. Winters and the other Indian lady. Dr. Winter was very thorough and explained a lot of things in great detail. Extremely informative and helpful.

Nancy Nelson

The entire staff was amazing....very attentive and they listened and addressed every dental concern I had. They are professional, friendly, and provide excellent service. This office is the only office in which I received pain free dental work! Highly recommend!!!

Kerissa Hall

Dr Ross is an awesome dentist she is very nice and does a awesome job

Diana Pals

Hubby has been Dr. Winter's patient three years+ with excellent care. Today Dr. Winter explained treatment options. His staff prepared cost estimates, comparisons and gave us a printout including insurance estimated coverage and our expected costs. We couldn't be happier with their services.

Greg Smith

Great caring and "Highly" qualified staff ! They are polite, courteous, respectful, helpful, caring, and knowledgeable.

I have recently filed a complaint with the Iowa Dental Board against Dr Dennis Winter and staff at both locations because of illegal practices. They would not give me my records because of a balance that I owe. THIS IS ILLEGAL. The board contacted them this morning and immediately I had my records. Just goes to show you that Dr Winter's and his staff KNEW what they were doing was wrong. How many more patients are being treated illegally here? I would stay away if I were you. Just look at the other reviews people have left.

It's ironic his last name is Dr. Winter, because he's so darn sunny. This was my first time in the office and it was a great experience. First, the Dr. was wearing an awesome scrubs shirt with whales on it, reminiscent of Lisa Frank. You know, those glorious Lisa Frank dolphin and whale folders you collected in the third grade. Oh the good ole days. Super awesome. But, furthermore, he was extremely good about explaining everything. He went through detailed photos of my teeth, explained grinding, explained all of the new equipment he was using and seemed genuinely happy to be there. I only received preventative care today, but will need to come back to have a few cavities filled later. The wonderful lady at the front desk plugged in all of the numbers and clearly outlined how much my insurance would be covering for those services and how much I would owe, so there is no guess work involved for me when I come back. I really appreciate that, and I didn't even have to ask. The office is lovely, the people are lovely. I and my family will certainly be continuing our care here.

Suzanne McKinley

They have a great atmosphere. Everyone greets you and is so pleasant you forget you're at the dentist. The equipment is so up to date you don't shuffle from room to room for xrays, cleaning, etc. The dentists are cheerful, imaginative in knowing how to get you the best smile at the best price, and very skilled. The best and brightest dental experience I've ever had.

Jose Vidal

Very friendly staff, knowledgeable, patience with people afraid of dentist's procedures... thanks for so awesome service...!

Mr Anonymus

Dr Winter and his staff are the best people in town. I am glad I found this place for my dental care!! Highly recommended!

Lawrence

Excellent service. Great staff. Try it you will like it. Best of the best of the best.

Margo Wolfe

Great Dentist both Dr. Winters and Dr Ross are excellent. I had 6 front teeth crowned and they are beautiful. Dr. Ross really cares about her work and wants you to be happy and look beautiful.

Jason Trimble

I could not be more disappointed :-( I went in for a consultation, to see if Dr. Winter could help with my tooth sensitivity. Dr. Winter spent time answering my questions, and even explained the underlying cause behind my concerns. I believe Dr. Winter is highly competent and skilled at what he does. HOWEVER the billing team is a whole different story! I asked the woman at the checkout desk twice, to make sure I didn't owe anything for the consultation visit. Then, a month later I got a bill for $70! I emailed the office, hoping this was just an error or misunderstanding - unfortunately it seems they are not capable of acknowledging an email or sending a reply. It's really sad to see a skilled professional like Dr. Winter stuck in an office that can't answer emails or provide accurate billing answers. By the way, to my knowledge this is the ONLY office that bills for an initial consultation!

Jenny lovan

Omgoodness, I always have the BesT experiences here!! From the receptionists to the hygienist and then to Dr. Winters. I swear I pinch myself, because this office is high end and they treat everyone equally. I will NEVER see another Dentist.

I was referred to them through a holistic organization that has this practice listed as practicing holistic medicine. The next closest practice that also practices holistic medicine is in Iowa City. I had stated holistic medicine was important to me, we scheduled an appointment all looked good. I get a call back five minutes later my appointment was cancelled, my insurance isn't good enough, they aren't accepting new patients and they tell me to go somewhere that uses flouride and doesn't practice holistic medicine at all. I am informed the suggestion is what I am looking for. If you are looking for a dental office that isn't judgemental please keep looking. If you are looking to go to holistic dentist they are in Iowa City. Medicine is about healing not insurance.

Alexandra Statia

I did leave a 5 star because they did such a nice job and the woman who did my teeth was friendly, but now it's a one star because I was given a cold letter in the mail today how they no longer take my insurance. Guess Dr winter hates poor people. After it took 6 months and a 2hr drive just to find someone who takes my insurance it's back to square one. Cool

lindsay johnson

Dr. Winter and his dental team are the best. All of my dental procedures (root canals) they've done where quick and painless! Dr. Winter is the the best at what he does and they make the dental experience enjoyable everytime!

Abdulrahman Abdulbaki

Wonderful staff . Very pleasant. Well trained . Very knowledgeable. This is to date , the best dental practice I visited .

Toby Tenacious

excellent staff, thanks ladies!

Eric F

I'm one of those that feels very nervous in a dental environment and hadn't been to a dentist for some time so very anxious during my first time visit here. -All the ladies at the main desk were very pleasant and helpful with the paperwork. -The dental hygienist assigned to me, Hailey (sp?) has a wonderful "bed side" manner and helped calm my obvious nerves.and relax a bit more. -Dr Winter was both friendly and professional, taking time to show me what needs to be done and answering my questions.

Susan Kelso

Dr. Winter has been my dentist for several years. He and his staff are extremely friendly and do wonderful work. Couldn't ask for a friendlier group of people. He will always be my dentist as long as I am able. Always gets me in as quickly as needed. Thank you to him and his staff.

One of the dentists went on at length defending use of mercury for fillings, because, after all, the American Dental Association has been around forever, thus is trustworthy, and the ADA says they're safe. All the while he tried convincing me of this, his eyes focused somewhere up toward the corner of the room. He knows just how dangerous they are and that's why he couldn't look me in the eye. By now, every dentist in every industrialized nation, including those living in caves and under rocks, all of them well KNOW that mercury fillings can and eventually will cause severe detriment to people's health and eventually ruin teeth to which they're applied, all common knowledge among so called professionals since the early to mid 1900's. Any dentist who defends their continued use clearly does not maintain patient's best interests as priority. It's crucial that patients be informed as to the widely various damages that eventually come about throughout body and mind caused by mercury amalgams. Any dentist who does not inform those who already have such fillings sees patients strictly as sources for income rather than human beings whose suffering may be prevented or halted. As mercury accumulates in various places throughout the body and brain, it also causes cracks in teeth they're supposed to protect. At that point unscrupulous dentists (which is most) insist a crown is necessary, for which, of course, he makes money. But the mercury is still there thus damage continues, festers, and surrounding teeth are affected. Along the way comes root canal work and more and more money. Then one, two, and more and more teeth need pulled until all are gone, then come dentures, and fittings, and more fittings, and on and on, money, money, lots more money, for the dentist. Never mind that many of us didn't need the fillings to begin with. They were put in because it was easy money for dentists looking to gain immediate and long term income. I went to this dental clinic twice and was seen by two different dentists. Just like the one, two, and ten I saw before them, they totally failed to tell me that each of the several mercury filled teeth in my mouth has cracked. I went there because two of them are broken. A third tooth that broke has had root canal work done by yet another dentist who didn't bother to explain what was happening. By the way, all root canaled teeth eventually cause infection that also spreads and deposits throughout the body. Rather than informing me as to what was happening and why and all of which had to be obvious to the dentists, rather than trying to help me prevent further deterioration in my health, much of which I explained, each of the two dentists worked hard at pushing various services simply because "insurance covers" them. For example, I was told my bridgework should be replaced, "because insurance covers it". I refused, but would've consented had he told me that the metals in the bridgework are also poisonous, and situated in such close proximity to mercury means there's a constant loop of negative ions being produced thus amplifying poisonous affects. He didn't bother telling me of this or that its whats was causing the inside of my mouth to turn black. When I refused to let them proceed with any work, the other dentist there insisted I at least have my teeth cleaned "because insurance covers it", and so the appointment, which lasted 15 or so minutes up to that point, "so it won't be a total loss", meaning of income for him. Money, money, more money. It's all about the money. Patients health is not of issue to these dentists. It bears adding that at least one website lists one of the dentists here as being holistic. They are not holistic, not even close. In fact I wound up traveling great distance and going to a truly holistic dentist and paying out of pocket for an evaluation that lasted about 4 hrs (time spent strictly with me) and which, when put in writing, as he did, was 17 pages, and well worth it For your own sake, find a better dentist.

Darleen Taylor

Very courteous and friendly staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Barber, as well. Overall, an excellent experience.

Tessa McCuen

I am not happy because I've been coming here a little over a year. At first it was a great experience. Last time I was in, i was pregnant, told them i was pregnant, they began cleaning my teeth and then Stopped a few minutes in and told me to come back after i had my baby. Now they are telling me they dont accept my insurance, even though it says they do on their website. They are just turning me away at this point. I specifically remember them saying they wont take new patients with that insurance but would continue to see current ones. And it even says so right on the website. This is frustrating.

Janell McIntyre

I’m having my old mercury fillings replaced. What a great experience. Dr Winter is the best in the field. He has a special way of making me so comfortable, he administers the numbing injections like magic! No pain. The entire staff is beyond superb! I’m so happy with all the work he has done. He is far above all the other dentists I’ve seen in my past. I am recommending him to all my friends.

Vester Rawlins

Friendly people. Not a long wait with appointment.

Jennifer Muganza

Everybody is very friendly and efficient. I always have a great experience

Stella Haney

February 11 was my first visit at this dentist clinic, and all of the ladies at the counter were very friendly and helpful. Dr. Winter and the India lady were amazing because they did a really good job on explained all the details, and they’re really fun to talk with. They made me feel like home and I’m very comfortable around them. 5 stars!!!

Tyler Otto

Hamilton Andrea

Always friendly, extremely informative and helpful. Been going to see Dr. Winter for the last 7 years and plan on continuing!

Linda Winter

Doctor was very informative and professional. Very helpful staff. I will stay with them for ever.

Sara Raygoza

Unless you enjoy being verbally and emotionally harassed, your discomfort and pain disregarded and problems misdiagnosed, I would avoid Dr. Winter’s malpractice like the plague. Expect discrimination if you are insured by one of his unfavorably accepted insurance types.

Kelli Readout

Dr winter's is the best dentist I have had in my entire life. He is caring and kind. Never feel any pain. His staff are also very compassionate. By far the best dentist in Des Moines.

Melisha Pals

Dr Winter and his staff have done a fantastic job. Very friendly and caring staff!

A Google User

I have been a patient of Dr.Winter for over 6 years and I would not go anywhere else. Dr.Winter and his staff are second to none when it comes providing your dental and healthcare need. His expertise covers the full range of dental, orthodontics, and dentures. Dr.Winter and his staff are very caring and helpful as a lot of people feel uncomfortable going to the dentist. Dr.Winter has many years in the dentistry occupation and has the most up to date technology and techniques. I have always felt at home

Carmen Mackey

Amazing staff who has always worked me in and made me feel comfortable. Dr Winter is very compassionate and takes time to talk with you. I send people I know there.

Minh Q Vu

The dentist office is filled with welcoming environment. They are very upfront about the cost, dental insurance, what you need to pay out of pocket and what is cover. They have the water jet equipment is really state-of-the-art tech, touchless to your tooth, minimal pain, but you may smell your cavity as it burns and clean your teeth groove. Just wish they have more hours, especially Friday to I get appointment easier!

Kirsner Family

No one looks forward to going to the dentist but I have to say that Iowa Dental Arts does an extraordinary job of taking care of their patients. Dr. Winter and his dental Hygienist, Ravleen, have become friends along with their skilled "dental arts". I appreciate the state of the art equipment and techniques that have allowed me to avoid problems with my mouth and teeth. I highly recommend Iowa Dental Arts!

Hilquia Feliciano

My first visit and I am impressed with the service. They are super friendly. I have great panic to dentists, and in this place I felt protected. Thanks for your service.

Loredana carnovale winter

Liz and Alicia are amazing assistants. Thank you!

Karen Rohrer

Awesome people and awesome dentist. Hayley is amazing and the best hygienist I have ever had. I will definitely be going to them for all my dental needs.

sassyfiddler

All dental care I have received from this provider has been of good quality. Staff do not try to push you into cosmetic procedures that are not necessary for good dental care.

Drew Snyder

Dr. Winter is very knowledgeable and his staff is great.

Beth Wittenbaugh

Dr Winter is not a friendly dentist . Doesn't speak to me the patient or discuss what is going to happen, what about partial I received (which is a cheap mouth piece). Basically said that after July things wouldn't matter. Now I know why . I received letter today stating he is no longer accepting my insurance. Glad to find another dentist .

Deborah Ellis

Friendly staff from the receptionist xray techs, dental assistant scheduler, and insurance staff Dr Winters is a very friendly dentist. Once you become a patient of Dr Winters You will find that he was listening to what you talked about at your last appointment and he will inquire about the latest updates, from before CLEAN, efficient, well trained staff This office /Dentist and staff will not dissappoint

Farhad Noori

They are good just for cleaning if you want to fill up your teeth don’t do it in dental Arts west Des Moines . They missed up with my teeth’s, that one star is just for cleaning , They just want you to keep going there so they can make money. Don’t let them have a sweet talke with you and play with your mouth.

Jenni Schmelz

I have had phenomenal care for myself and my family over the last 4 years. I have special TMJ concerns that other dentists have not understood and Dr. Winter has provided wonderful care in this area of my treatment. I can't imagine going anywhere else but to this office for myself and my children. This has been the best dental office we have ever been to.

travis miller

Never made it there. I tried to call twice to make an appointment, no one answered. Oddly, the answering machine says it's Thursday, June 28th and they are closed for the evening- and here i was damn sure it was 10AM in early November?

Bill Garrett

Very impressed with Dr. Winter and his friendly and highly skilled staff. State of the art equipment and spotless offices. Best dental practice I've ever been to!
