Services
As the office manager, Diane carries out general office management duties, files insurance claims for patients and assists patients with scheduling appointments. A graduate of Illinois Central College, Dianne has many years of experience in the dental field. Before joining Dr. Thomas' practice, she worked for over ten years in a general dentists office and a periodontal/ orthodontic office.
Your first visit is a chance for you to get acquainted with Dr. Thomas and learn about his treatments and services. What you'll discover is that we are able to offer the technology that many would only expect from "big city" dental practices, while still being able to provide friendly and compassionate, personalized care.
Dr. Thomas wants to be a partner in your dental health and that is why his goal is to provide quality, comprehensive dental care at a cost that is reasonable and that you can afford. Our financial policy allows us to provide you with the best treatment available and does not limit your health to just what your dental insurance plan covers.
Do you look in the mirror and love what you see? Or do you avoid looking altogether because there are things you would like to change about yourself? There are many different reasons why people turn to cosmetic dentistry to change the way they look.
When it comes to transforming your smile, porcelain veneers offer a conservative approach, require little or no removal of the tooth structure, and when properly placed they look great and feel just like natural teeth.Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made wafer-like shells of tooth-colored material than can be used to correct discolored teeth, fix chipped or broken teeth.

Dr. Thomas's Beautiful Smile Guarantee is an expression of his confidence in his artistic and technical abilities in cosmetic dentistry. He is so confident you will love it that he guarantees it to be beautiful. And with good reason. He is the only accredited cosmetic dentist in central Iowa. And when ABC Channel 5 needed a cosmetic dentist for their Ultimate Extreme Makeover show, they chose Dr. Thomas.

Very negative experience here. Insulted my wife and shamed her for not being from America. Insane comments made by people that have a sign that says "immigrants are welcome."
Diane at the front desk is very kind and helpful, while those in the back are horrible people. They are the kind of people that make me understand why Americans are hated when they travel out of the country.

Once again I received excellent dental care from Dr. Thomas and his top notch staff. My dental care since first going to the Iowa Center For Family and Cosmetic Dentistry over 5 years ago is unmatched by any other practice I've been to in 50+ years! It doesn't hurt that I laugh at every visit - Dr. Thomas has an awesome sense of humor!

If you're looking for a dentist office full of energy and excitement, this is your place! Dr. Thomas is full of laughs and smiles! He did an amazing job using Essex braces to straighten my teeth and has fixed major chips to my husband's teeth. Amanda, the hygienist, is so sweet and does an amazing job walking you through your oral care issues and solutions. Out at the front desk, Dianne does an outstandingly professional job managing all the appointments and paperwork. All around fabulous place for your dental care!!

Dr Thomas has a dynamic chair side approach to making patients feel comfortable. The majority of my experience has been for routine check ups however there are numerous before and after photos to show the type of work he does. The staff is incredible also! I have been a patient of Dr Thomas for the last 17 years, I would not go anywhere else. Thanks for keeping my smile white!!

Phelan makes me love going to the dentist! I honestly get excited to go, because of how funny, and caring he is! He and his team want everyone to look their best and be confident, and that is what they helped me achieve! I definitely plan on keeping them around and taking my future family to see them!
