Among dental nerds, Iowa has a storied history of excellent dentists who have done excellent work for their patients. At James Dental, we prioritize maintaining and repairing these quality treatments instead of replacing them needlessly.

We believe the best dentistry is no dentistry at all.We believe in letting your body do what it does best—heal itself. When preventive techniques fail and intervention is required, we leverage modern techniques and a deep understanding of dental biology to preserve your natural teeth and oral health. We focus on treatments that support long-term health and well-being, ensuring every procedure has a purpose aligned with your needs. It’s biology over billing.

We’re proud to serve our neighbors in Beaverdale with exceptional care.

Conservative Dentistry

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Dentistry has a problem. A small minority of aggressive and greedy dental offices have created an environment of distrust across the nation. These practices, often owned by private equity firms in far away financial districts, prioritize the bottom line at the expense of the patient. Patients leave these practices saying things like: “Why the sudden need for so many procedures after decades of good dental health?”

At James Dental, our goal is to win back your trust.
