I am a new patient. They took care of my insurance issues and explained my next steps well. I was greeted immediately, the lobby and patient areas were clean and organized with tvs to watch, my cleaning was thorough but gentle, the dentist took time to know me and they sent me home with all the goodies including whitening strips. I will definitely be back!!

I can’t say enough great things about this dental and orthodontic office! From the moment you walk in, the entire team is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. They take the time to explain everything, answer questions, and make sure you’re completely comfortable.
The hygienists are gentle and thorough. They are absolutely wonderful with kids—patient, friendly, and great at making them feel relaxed and even excited about their visits. You never feel rushed or like “just another appointment.” The office is clean, organized, and runs on time, which I really appreciate.
If you’re looking for a dental and orthodontic office with amazing staff who treat you like family and are fantastic with children, this is the place. Highly recommend!

I was very pleased with my experience. As a former dental assistant of 10 years, I could tell they were top notch. They had the digital X-rays that can be developed, so they are thinner and not the huge one with the cord. They also have “the wand” which is a much more pleasant way to receive anesthetic. They had an updated laughing gas mask that wasn’t the old gray ones that smell bad, fall apart and hardly work.
Since the only two offices for children are ABC (doesn’t accept insurance or not in network with any insurance) and Children’s dental (where you are not allowed to be with your child for their visit) I was looking for a dental office that would be good for children without necessarily being a pediatric office.
Well this one was it! Every person I came in contact with was friendly and knowledgeable. They knew how to make the dental terms fun and easy for kids and explained everything along the way. They also did a good job of putting all the medical records I sent into the chart. The had good communication and they had cute little toys that were made from a 3D printer. Big hit!
I am so happy to have found this office and have a place to bring my kids to and a place that I can go to as well as my husband.
Thank you Great Plains Dental!

Switched my dentist a few weeks ago and decided to try Great Plains Dental. I had to get a crown and Dr Ethan was great and very knowledgeable and down to earth. I also had Bailey take X-rays and assisted Dr Ethan. Bailey was awesome, she was funny and had a sense of humor and made me feel very comfortable considering I don’t care to go to the dentist. Bailey was also very professional during my entire stay. Halley and Kaylynn was also part of the excellent staff that helped and had great sense of humor as well. I really appreciate all four of you and the professionalism and dedication you take in your profession. Thank you all so much for how you treated me. I would recommend Great Plaines Dental to everyone because they treat their patients with respect and care!! Thanks again

Thank you Dr. Nelsen for working your absolute magic on my smile! I seriously couldn’t be happier! It's worth it… trust me, it is. Every bit of it.
It's not your typical veneer process no major changes, no damage to my natural teeth, just a beautifully enhanced, natural-looking smile that still feels 100% like me.
You gave me such a confidence boost, and I’m so grateful for your talent, your care, and your attention to detail. 🦷💖 Your assistant Bailey is a Rock Star!
If you’ve been on the fence consider this your sign. Go for it you deserve to love your smile!
