Nathan began his career with Gentle Family Dentists in 1998. He worked his way through each department, learning how the office functioned as a whole. Now a Clinical Administrator for the offices, he takes pride in living our mission statement, to “create a partnership to educate and empower our patients to have complete health with beautiful smiles in a supportive and comfortable dental home.”

These include digital X-rays and CEREC machines, which digitally recreate broken-down teeth and mill them in one visit, saving you time and money. Nathan believes nothing compares to the compassion and care our patients receive from our staff. He appreciates that the Gentle Family Dentists team reserves time every week for updating staff skills. Constant, never-ending improvement is his goal, along with the rest of the staff.

Desirae

Dental​ ​Assistant Expanded Functions II

I love working at Gentle Family Dentists because I get the opportunity to work with 4 different dentists, not many people can say that. I have enjoyed learning how each dentist likes to do different procedures and learning their own routines. It was challenging at first, but everyone likes a good challenge. I like coming to work every day and being around my coworkers; we have fun while getting our work done. I’m from a small town, Columbus Junction. 

I graduated from Kirkwood Community College in 2016 with my associate’s degree in Dental Assisting. I have been a dental assistant for a few years now, and I wouldn’t change a thing about it. I really enjoy making a difference in people’s smiles. I live with my husband and our two children. In my free time, I like going shopping, watching football, and cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes. When I’m not doing that, you’ll probably find me listening to music.

What our patients are saying

Hannah D.North Liberty
All of the dentists at gentle family dentists are amazing! We love Dr. Carole! Her approach is so effective! It has saved both our children from oral surgery in their late teens years. The entire staff is thoughtful, kind, extremely caring and gentle! It is a pleasure to be treated there!
Amber P.North Liberty
Great experience and the team truly showed concern for me during my extraction experience. They were able to get me in quick and then also accommodated my crazy work schedule and got several timely services done before work so I would not be in pain any more. I would recommend this team to anyone. And if you are not using these wonderful people then you are missing out.
Jacob W.West Liberty
I don’t go but my twin boys do! They love it so much they make the boys feel comfortable and happy when being seen by anyone always a clean and loving environment for them to get their dental work done! They’re 5 so it’s a big part of the reason why we chose to go with gentle family dentist they are so nice to us!
Benjamin W.West Liberty
Dr. Caroline did an amazing job with my crowns on my front teeth, fitting my night guard many times until it was right, and guiding me through the zoom at home whitening kit. I have a whole different smile and I feel so confident. Every person there is so friendly and helpful! Thanks so much!
Laura P.Muscatine
Chipped a molar last night eating popcorn. This morning they were able to get me in for a quick x-ray, then get an appointment scheduled for the afternoon to do the crown. I wasn’t in any pain but I feel so fortunate to have had it fixed so quickly! They have fancy technology & knew exactly what they were doing. Perfectly matched the tooth color. Extremely pleased with my experience!
Laura L.Muscatine
I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate this office. I have hated the dentist for most of my life and stopped going. Now I have teeth issues that embarrasses me. Dr. Grant and the staff have been amazing and made me feel so supported and not judged at all. I’m so happy I found this clinic. I can’t wait to get my smile back!
