Our Values

A light blue background with a dark blue wavy line running horizontally, separating it from an area below. Used to denote a border between pieces of content on the Des Moines River Dental Care website.

Our values create the foundation of our dental care at Des Moines River Dental, and we would like to share them. Our dentists talk about their visions and goals for the care they provide to their patients, and we also dive into important principles we uphold at our Carlisle office. The basis, of course, for all of our values centers around the people that we see every day. You are our focus, and we want to make sure that our values reflect that.

Des Moines River Dental Care Mission:

To provide patient-driven care in a welcoming and all-inclusive environment. We also seek to provide a staff that is working toward the common goal of taking excellent, considerate care of our patients.

Dr. Emma’s Philosophy

I chose dentistry because I am passionate about working with and helping others. I realize that dental appointments can be challenging for some patients. My goal is to deliver quality dental care as quickly and painlessly as possible. I look forward to working with you!
