General, Cosmetic, and Family Dentistry

We look forward to giving you a smile you’re happy to show off. Modern cosmetic dentistry techniques make it easier than ever for you to have a bright, even smile.

Drs. McNurlen and Steil can transform your smile with any combination of the following treatments:

  • teeth whitening
  • tooth-colored fillings
  • onlays and crowns
  • dental bonding
  • replacement of missing teeth with implants or bridges
  • porcelain veneers
  • extractions
  • removable prosthetics such as dentures and partial dentures

Dental Implants

Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. If you are missing teeth, implants can allow you to regain the ability to eat virtually anything and smile with confidence. Your new teeth will appear natural, and your facial contours will be preserved. At Smiles for LIfe, we have been restoring dental implants for many years. In conjunction with our local oral surgeons and periodontists, we can find the best restorative option for you.

Dental implants are changing the way people live as they allow our patients to rediscover the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life. For more information about dental implants or to schedule a consultation appointment, call our office in West Des Moines, Iowa at 515-223-4194.
