A comprehensive family dental practice rooted in long-term relationships
Waukee Family Dentistry operates as a comprehensive dental office dedicated to providing a complete range of services for patients of all ages. The practice is distinguished by its longevity in the community, with many patients entrusting their dental health to Dr. Lisa Kurtz and Dr. Tina Kurtz for over two decades. The sisters are recognized for their personalized approach, taking the time to understand each patient's unique history and creating treatment plans that prioritize long-term oral health rather than just immediate fixes.
Advanced treatments and specialized care
The clinic offers a robust menu of dental services designed to address both preventive needs and complex restorative requirements. Patients frequently highlight the expertise of the team in:
- Orthodontics and Aesthetics: Specialized care with Invisalign to align teeth and enhance smiles.
- Restorative Dentistry: Expert handling of crowns, fillings, and emergency repairs for cracked or chipped teeth, often providing same-day or next-day appointments.
- TMJ and Pain Management: Notable success in treating temporomandibular joint disorders, jaw pain, and headaches through diagnosis and targeted treatment.
- General and Preventive Care: Thorough exams, cleanings, and education on maintaining oral hygiene as part of overall health.

The staff is consistently described as warm, welcoming, and professional, creating an atmosphere where even those with significant dental anxiety or PTSD can feel comfortable and safe. Patients appreciate the gentle touch of the hygienists and the patience of the dentists, who take the time to explain every step of the procedure. This empathetic care extends to families, with the team being particularly skilled at putting children at ease, making dental visits a positive experience from a young age.
Dedication to patient comfort and transparency
Visitors to the clinic often note the efficiency and punctuality of the appointments, as well as the transparent communication regarding treatment options and costs. The team is committed to putting the patient's best interest first, sometimes advising against unnecessary procedures or offering flexible solutions that respect the patient's budget. This integrity, combined with their use of modern technology and ongoing education, has earned the practice high recommendations from locals who value honesty and exceptional clinical skill.

Negative experience: There is 2 sides to a story but basically my husband lost a tooth off his dentures that were made in Kansas. These dentures were a problem from day one but not his first set. We found Waukee Family Dentistry when another tooth fell out. So he had a first visit and talked about new dentures. They were supposed to email us their financial plan we could purchase . Never received an email. We decided to purchase dental insurance and wait 6 months to use it. In the meantime he had a follow up appointment which we went to and they told us we did not have an appointment. I attend his appointments since he has memory problems. So they found the appointment was made but put in the year 2030 something. Weird mistake. Then the next tooth fell out and they had about 3 excuses why they couldn't fix it. They were going on vacation. So we had go back to Freestate dental or find another place for an emergency fix. We did not have an appointment. But we did go up to see if they could help us out since he needed it fixed right away. They said they would call us if they had an opening. Never got a phone call. Then the letter comes saying we need to part ways. I think because he has problems dentures, a lot of titanium in his face and jaw due to an accident in a1996 that it was too much for them to handle. Never been fired by a dentist before. I think there might have been a new receptionist through all this because whoever we talked to was not very knowledgeable and had to keep asking questions. We both were very frustrated at the front desk.
Fantastic experience: Waukee Family Dentistry is the best I have ever been to. They are very knowledgeable and do excellent work. I have never had a bad experience there. I highly recommend them. Both Tina and Lisa are exceptional.
That's very sweet of you to say.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Kurtz and assistant Patrick are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They explained what was going on and why they recommended the next steps they did.
Thank you so much for your kind words I can't wait to tell Patrick. This will make his day as it did mine!
Fantastic experience: Helped my little guy feel so calm during his exam. Absolutely recommend them to anyone with kiddos or anyone in general. All the staff are super nice and friendly, and they’re patient and explain everything to you! Hands down the best dentist we’ve been to!
Thank you so much fo rthe kind words!
Fantastic experience: Caring and professional. Great personalized service. I totally recommend this practice.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Greatly appreciate their care! When I first moved to the area they helped with a crown that had popped off. Got me in that day even though they had never seen me before! They became my dentist that day:)
Thank you so much for the kind words!

Fantastic experience: Friendly, professional staff. Dr Lisa is so thorough and kind. She even came in on a Saturday when I had a dental emergency. The staff really works well together. They are very patient centric.
Thank you for the kind words Gail, we appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: Have been going here almost as long as it's existed. Drs Lisa and Tina do a great job, offer prompt service and are always available in emergencies. Add to this the entertainment factor of their personalities and it's no wonder I actually enjoy going to the dentist. It's like going to visit friends. The front desk staff are always welcoming, friendly and efficient. Just wish the practice provided implants and was closer. But, it's worth the travel 2 hrs travel time.
Thank you KC!
Fantastic experience: Kind office staff, very kind engaged excellent expert providers, recommend highly. I hadn’t been to the dentist for 3 years due to some personal issues and it felt like home. I love my Dentists and their support staff. Really really appreciate how genuinely helpful and caring and funny and smart they are.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Fantastic experience: Always on time. Staff is always kind and cordial.
Fantastic experience: No one likes to go to the dentist, but these ladies made me feel very comfortable, even with my PTSD:) They were very thorough. They took 3D pictures of my teeth. AMAZING! They explained where my teeth needed extra care. I have been using a dentist where I'm shuffled in, then shuffled out, or left waiting indefinitely for the dentist to inspect the work of my dental hygienist. I am VERY uncomfortable just waiting in an empty room. Flight or fight takes over, so I leave. I love it when people make you feel important to them and the success of their business :) Thank you for the positive experience ladies❣️ See you in 6 months
Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Awesome
Right back at you!

Fantastic experience: The dentists at Waukee Family Dentistry take a holistic approach to serving their patients. They recognize that good dental hygiene is much more than just flossing and brushing regularly. They believe the health of your teeth is a reflection of your overall health, medications you may take, and your diet. Combining this approach with state-of-the-art tools for diagnosing and treating issues with your teeth results in a level of dental care that far exceeds the norm.
Thank you!

You are special!!!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient here for > 10 yrs. Prior to this I’d been to docs that didn’t pay any attention to my overall oral health like Dr Tina has. She has made many recommendations- most of which I followed but some I didn’t due to my age, budget and current state. She’s always thorough and respectful. I appreciate all that she has done for me by way of care and health and aesthetics. Everyone else (hygienist and office) are amazing too! Great place!
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going here for 10 plus years. I’ve had all of my dental work done here from routine checkups to fixing chipped teeth. Tina and Lisa are both very skilled and knowledgeable. The rest of the staff is great as well. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lisa Kurtz discovered in her tooth prep for a crown that the tooth might not be viable because of a crack running through it. Insteading of going ahead with the crown, and possibly losing the tooth later, she advised me to see an endodontist to get a second opinion. She knows my teeth history, since I have been going to her for years, and was looking out for my budget rather than just her income.
Thank you, Susan.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Waukee Family Dentistry for 20+ years now. I appreciate how Lisa, Tina and the staff treat me and my family. If you are looking for a good dentist, there are a lot around. If you’re looking for a great dentist, go to Waukee Family Dentistry.
