Katie Kearney Porter. I was upfront that I’m super anxious about dentists. She is super nice and explains everything when she’s doing it. Her overall demeanor and practice makes me feel a lot less anxious.

I was in a similar situation and ended up seeing Dr Overman to catch up many years ago. I still see him and recommended him to everyone. His office is over by BioLife.

I go to Dentistry At Somerset. Everyone is very friendly and clearly trained to make the experience as calm as possible. For drillings/longer procedures they provide headphones and put on Netflix/music/streaming of your choice (I like to listen to a podcast).

Dentistry at Somerset. Everyone there is incredibly and genuinely nice and caring. Just tell them about your anxiety. They will give you a tour of the whole place and a goodie bag. I had a little bit of anxiety and after my first visit there I actually looked forward to going back.

I'm a bit late to this party but i got to Dr. Metzger, I had avoided dentists for about 15 years due to my crippling anxiety. When I finally needed to go (hole in a tooth) She treated me very well and so I have kept going to her.
Please help! I need a name of a good dentist asap in the Ames or Ankeny area.

Brandon Patten at Ames Family Dental! Their new location this fall will be in South Ames!!!! He's so great!!!
My tooth gets worse and worse. Anyone know a good dentist reasonable priced as I have no insurance. I know some places offer discounts to cash customers.
