Richstmeier Brad DDS
Right off of Interstate 35 and Mills Civic Parkway (just down the street from our previous location!) You'll rest comfortably during your dental procedure with little to no memory of your dental treatment. Due to the extensive training and expertise required, we are one of a small number of dental clinics in Iowa that provide IV sedation.

Dr. Brad has years of advanced training and experience in these state-of-the-art surgical dental procedures. With high tech 3D imaging right in our office, at Apex Dental we have everything we need to offer you the highest standard in dental care! Come see Dr. Chris for a consult, he would examine your teeth, jaw, tongue, airways, and recommend the device that is best for you.
Services
We take great pride in our highly trained and compassionate team, and we are certain that you will be impressed and at ease with them! Julie, Randi, Carla and Ashley comprise the dental assisting staff here at Apex Dental. These ladies will work hard to ensure you have a positive experience. They are proficient in all the procedures done in our office and excel in their positions.
Our third set of molars, also known as our wisdom teeth, typically develop in our teens and early twenties. When our jaws develop to adequate size, our wisdom teeth can erupt properly and be well maintained. In the shrinking jaws of modern society, however, many people have wisdom teeth that become impacted and/or have insufficient.
At Apex Dental we are passionate about helping those in need both in our local community and abroad. Over the the recent years, Dr. Brad and Dr. Mindy have participated in international mission trips treating patients in El Salvador, Costa Rica, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic. We've treated patients in these countries using mobile equipment and generators for power.
At Apex Dental, we take pride in our ability to provide comfortable care for patients with a real fear of the dental chair. Sometimes referred to as twilight sleep, dental IV sedation allows you to rest comfortably during your procedure with little to no memory of your dental treatment.

Sedation is a great option for those who are fearful or anxious about dental treatment, those who have had a previous bad experience at the dentist, those with a strong gag reflex, those who have a difficult time getting numb, those who don't like shots in their mouth, and those who simply want the ultimate experience in comfort at the dentist.
Dental implants are a permanent and appealing solution to replace missing or extracted teeth. They are better than other alternatives like bridges because no additional teeth need to be altered to place the new tooth. Dental implants can be used to replace individual missing teeth, to replace an entire mouthful of teeth, or to support and lock in dentures.

I cannot express how much I love the staff at Apex Dental. I have a severe dental phobia. When I needed to find a new dentist in the area I gave them a try after reading some reviews and I'm so happy I did. Dr. Chris is who I see and he is the absolute best! He has the most calming presence. All of the irrational thoughts and fears are now gone after a few visits. There is a level of professionalism and trust with them that I have not had with a dental facility in a long time.

Exceptional talent from every level. The offices are clean and modern and comfortable and the staff are amazing! 💕 I live in Washington DC. Of all times to have a dental emergency mine was at the beginning of Covid when all of our dental offices were closed I made an appointment with my dentist there only to have my dental appointment canceled… two more times because of Covid my dentist there gave up and went on vacation to Greece for the next year so I was stuck without a dentist or at least a good dentist.I was Covid over it and decided to pack up from Capitol Hill and explore

I don’t write reviews often, when I do it’s because I’ve received exceptional care and service. I can’t speak highly enough about the staff at Apex Dental and quality personal care they provide. Being new to the area I was looking for a new dentist, but am extremely selective as my daughter suffers from extreme anxiety where dental visits are… concerned. I chose Apex and could not have been happier as Jenny has the unique ability to set a patient at ease and even make the visit fun. Yes, I said fun! I have suggested Apex to multiple friends who also suffer dental

Apex dental is amazing! They are very professional and make you feel very comfortable at the same time. Jenny Pierce really takes great care of her patients! She tells you step by step what she is doing! I highly recommend Jenny, Dr. Mindy and the whole Apex family. My whole family goes here and wouldn't think of going anywhere else!

I came here to get my wisdom teeth out, I was very nervous but Ashley and Dr. Brad were amazing they explained everything multiple times and answered every question I had. The day of my surgery they remembered little details about myself and talked and laughed with me to make me feel more comfortable. Overall the best dentist I have been to, very welcoming and amazing staff!

Wonderful place! Facility is really organized and staff are very kind. Amy was the hygienist for my husband and I- we haven’t been to the dentist since we were kids. She was very nice, friendly and very knowledgeable. She explained everything in great detail to us. Won’t go anywhere else again!

Well it's that time even during COVID to keep those pearlies clean. Jenny is my go to hygienist. She is very thorough. The clean, crisp feel one gets after cleaning is remarkable. Of course, at my age I am glad just to have my own teeth even after the straightening job of my bottoms. The whole process turned out pretty good. Now I can smile and show the superb dental work that APEX had done that keeps my breath crisp, clean and radiant.

I became a new patient at APEX dental this week because my previous dentist could not get me rescheduled until September after they canceled my appointment because of covid-19. I really needed my teeth cleaned so found APEX through my insurance's website. I'm so happy I did! Everyone was so nice from the front desk - to Jenny my hygienist - to Dr. Mindy. I learned so much about my teeth and when I called my mom that evening she said, "I haven't seen your teeth that white since you were in high school." I definitely will be making them my regular dentist office!

Everyone who works there is awesome! If you need a dentist you cannot go wrong with Apex Dental. I started with Amy and then on to Dr Mindy. They both took good care of me and will be sending my husband for a check up!
