I was born and raised in Sioux Falls. I recently graduated college from Western Iowa Tech in Sioux City with my dental assisting degree. I have two younger brothers and three dogs that keep me busy! During the summer I enjoy being outdoors, camping, fishing, or going to drag races. During the winter I like to ice fish, but mostly I try to stay warm and watch movies!
I was born right here in Sioux Falls. I was lucky enough to have attended Washington High School downtown for 2 years prior to moving to the new building on the east side. I was among the first class of students to graduate from the "new" high school. After graduation, I went to UNL in Nebraska for college.
Better sleep plays a fundamental role in a child's health. By opening the airway and allowing for the most restful sleep possible, children have the ability to be their most successful selves. Quality sleep improves memory, executive function and problem-solving during childhood. A person who is sleep-deprived cannot focus properly, and continuous improper sleep has long-term effects on a child's health and focus.
Bonding is Dr Z's absolute favorite dental procedure. She loves it because of the instant transformation it makes to a person's smile. Once bonding is completed our patients can not help but to smile bigger, brighter and more often. Bonding is done to correct shape, size and sometimes color of teeth.
Not all dentures are created equal. All too often denture wearers look like they are wearing plastic teeth or worse yet just don't wear their dentures due to fit, function and aesthetics. We can help. Our cosmetic dentures are made with a clear roof of the mouth that makes the upper denture virtually disappear.

Two days before I went in for a routine cleaning and check up I broke off part of a tooth. Even though I wasn’t scheduled for more than just a cleaning and check up they said if I had time they would take care of it that day. And they did😀Everyone was so helpful and so friendly I recommend them to anyone who doesn’t have a dentist now or isn’t real happy where they’re going.

I believe this is only my 2nd review ever written, and my first was for someone else and a great experience. Designer Dentistry was the exact opposite, and I have never felt so poorly about a business before. Designer Dentistry made a mistake, and instead of fixing the problem with my tooth that needed it, they did the one next to it. Another dentist in the area confirmed it and offered to fix it because I would not trust or go back to Designer Dentistry & Smiles again. I gave them every opportunity to fix it and make it right, but the owner is too high on herself to admit they made a mistake.

The workers here are amazing and super kind. They always do a great job of explaining everything that is going on and truly care about you as an individual. I've been to other dentists that have made visiting the dentist not a very enjoyable experience, but I've never had any issues here. They were also great with my child. I plan on going to Designer Dentistry and Smiles for as long as we are able.

I had my 1st appointment there, and it was the worst dental experience I have ever had. The dentist was very rough with my gums/teeth. I had tears in my eyes it hurt so much. She commented on how normal people that aren't covid cautious like me wouldn't be so afraid to come back. Also, dropped the suction hose on the floor, but the tech thankfully… replaced it. But the dental pick hit my sunglasses that had been out and about with me and then she put the pic in my mouth without cleaning it. Was bleeding for 2 hours after the appointment the Dentist was so rough on my mouth. During the appointment

Normally you walk into dentist office even though it’s nerve-racking everybody is still kind of serious right? Well I walked in with my husband and I can truly say that we had an amazing time. Not only that Dr. Nichole made us feel comfortable but she was always funny, just involved and her staff was nothing but amazing. I can honestly say that I felt like I was at some dentistry spa. Very very calm and great fun positive vibe atmosphere

My Dentist and Hygienist were sweetest, they were compassionate putting me at ease explaining all procedures and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend Designer Dentistry for you dental needs♥️ Thank you Designer Dentistry & Smiles!

Buyer Beware - DO NOT GO HERE
If I could give them zero stars, I would. I have quite the tale for you. Continue reading if you care to find out the horrors of this establishment.

Context:
My family and I recently moved to the Sioux Falls area and needed a new dentist. The place that shall remain nameless, looked like a decent place. I book an appointment for my 6mo cleaning.
All seemed fine, nice hygienist, and we figure out I have an abscess from a root canal I had done 10 years earlier. Dr. Z then consults me and says either

Do NOT go here!! Dr. Nichole is the worst dentist EVER. She ruined my entire mouth after spending $9,000 on Lumineers. My teeth literally started cracking/falling out less than a year after having them done! She's a grouch, does not take customer concerns into consideration and pretty much just does whatever she feels like doing at the moment. She literally said to me while she was working "I better not hear one word of complaint out of you because these are perfect!"... no, they were FAR from perfect. I was thankful enough to find a skilled dentist that actually knew what they were

I went to Designer Dentistry and Smiles for a consultation as I was interested in getting work done for veneers. I met with Dr. Zuercher for the consultation. She was very friendly and made me feel right at home. She was knowledgeable and helpful, and she went over many great options and ideas with me. The staff at the front desk and dental assistants I met were also very friendly and helpful.

After having Dr. Nichole replace my crown three times on the same tooth because it kept on breaking I have decided to go else where. Her bed side manor is that of crouchity old shrew of a lady that obviously hates her life. Her staff is some how still very polite and nice but that is the only pleasant thing about this place. Stay away unless you like the idea of dentures at 30 years old.
