About Ankeny Family Dental Center
Ankeny Family Dental Center is a locally owned general dentistry practice that focuses on providing personalized care. The office aims to make patients feel welcomed and comfortable, offering a range of services including traditional dentistry and cosmetic procedures. Patients have praised the friendly atmosphere and the expertise of the staff. The office is described as having a "small-town" feel, where patients are treated as individuals. The admin staff is fantastic and prompt with communication, and hygienists are knowledgeable and efficient. Dentists are caring and knowledgeable, and have even polished a chipped tooth for free. While the practice welcomes families, some parents have noted that the office may not be the most suitable environment for very young children. The waiting area lacks child-friendly amenities, and the office space is small, making it difficult to accommodate strollers.
There aren’t enough stars to rate them, as high as i want to. They Listen!!! Dr. Gelfond and Eliza were fabulous. They did! Actually give me, “my Smile back!”🦷🦷 I can’t express how wonderful the whole gig was. Yes, I totally and sincerely recommend this great Dental Office. Diana
Okay, I need to get this off my chest—Dr. Jackie Smith is NOT just a dentist. She’s a tooth sorceress, a gum goddess, and possibly the only person I’d let get that close to my mouth without getting weird about it. 😏🦷 Let’s start with the office: Imagine a dentist’s office, but with none of the cold, clinical vibes. Instead, you walk in and it feels like you’ve just stepped into a luxury hotel where the staff greets you like you're a VIP, and they might throw in a spa treatment while they clean your teeth. I half expected them to offer me a cocktail while I waited—at the very least a mimosa. 🍾🍹 No joke, this place is so comfortable, I considered asking if they could install a mini fridge for future appointments. (I’d totally pay extra.) 🛋️💅 Now, Dr. Jackie… she’s a whole mood. First off, she’s got the hands of a dental angel. I’m talking gentle but powerful, like the person who offers you a hug so good you forget you were feeling awkward about it. My teeth were scared going in, but they came out feeling so pampered, they’re thinking about quitting their day jobs and becoming Instagram influencers. 📸✨ And the cleaning? Wow. I’ve never felt more cared for and more exposed at the same time. It was like my teeth were at an exclusive 5-star resort where the only thing on the menu was “Your teeth, but shinier”. You know that feeling when you leave a dental appointment and your mouth feels like it’s been through an intense, life-changing experience? Well, after seeing Dr. Jackie, I felt like I had just completed a spa retreat, a workout, and a therapy session all in one. My teeth were squeaky clean, but also, I felt like I had some emotional breakthroughs about my smile. 😂🦷 If you’ve ever been nervous about getting your teeth cleaned, Dr. Jackie will make you feel like you’re just hanging out with your bestie while she gently rearranges your gums and does whatever sorcery she does to make your teeth look like they’ve been touched by the gods of white paste. 🪄✨ Like, I actually forgot I was even at the dentist for a minute and started wondering if maybe she’s also an undercover therapist. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if she pulled out a bottle of wine halfway through and we just casually chit-chatted about life. 🍷💬 And let’s be real—after leaving Ankeny Dental Center, I felt so fresh and so glowy, I thought I might have to put a “Warning: May cause excessive smiling” sign on my face. 😁 My teeth were brighter than my future, and my gums felt like they’d just been treated to a luxury mud mask. Seriously, they could’ve walked down the runway at a Victoria’s Secret show and no one would’ve batted an eye. 🦷✨💋 So, if you want to stop dreading your dentist appointments and actually look forward to them—if you want to feel like your teeth have been given the royal treatment—do yourself a favor and see Dr. Jackie Smith. I’m already planning my next visit, and I may or may not start asking if she’s offering spa packages with her dental services. 💆♀️🦷 P.S. I’m considering starting a fan club for Dr. Jackie. If you want in, we’re going to need matching T-shirts that say, “I survived the best dental cleaning of my life.” Trust me, you will survive, and your teeth will thank you later. 🤩🦷
Dr. Jackie is amazing not only with adults but also with little ones. From when you first walk into her office you are greeted with the most amazing smile from Sue in the front. Then one of Dr. Jackie’s hygienists Leann (I request her every time) is amazing and pays great attention to detail and is so gentle, my teeth always feel great when I leave! Cannot recommend a better dentist!
