Gentle Family Dentists

Gentle Family Dentists is a well-established dental clinic with multiple locations in Iowa, including Muscatine, West Liberty, and North Liberty. The practice is driven by a team of experienced dentists, including Dr. Carol Moreno, her son Dr. Roberto Moreno, Dr. Carolyn Duong, and Dr. Grant Spranger. Dr. Carol Moreno has been practicing for over 30 years and, along with Dr. Roberto Moreno, has attained Mastership with the Academy of General Dentistry, demonstrating a high level of commitment to continuing education and clinical excellence. Dr. Carolyn Duong is also progressing toward her Mastership. The clinic is renowned for its patient-centric approach, aiming to provide a relaxing and friendly environment for all ages. They prioritize patient comfort, offering amenities like free laughing gas and oral conscious sedation to alleviate dental anxiety. Their comprehensive services cover a broad spectrum of dental needs, including general dentistry (cleanings, exams, cavity detection, fluoride treatments), pediatric dentistry, cosmetic dentistry (including orthodontics like traditional braces, Invisalign, ClearCorrect, and FastBraces), restorative dentistry (fillings, crowns, dental implants), full-mouth reconstruction, TMJ treatment, wisdom teeth removal, and emergency dental care with same-day service availability and Saturday call answering. Gentle Family Dentists is deeply committed to community involvement. Dr. Carol Moreno co-founded the West Liberty Youth Dream Catchers in 2004, a program that helps children from low-income families pursue higher education. She also initiated a free children's dental clinic in Muscatine for uninsured children, which has since partnered with the University of Iowa. The practice actively accepts Medicaid and Iowa Wellness patients, ensuring access to dental care for a wider population. They also offer an in-house membership club to make quality dental care more affordable for patients without traditional dental insurance. The team prides itself on continuous staff training and utilizing modern dental technology, such as digital X-rays and CEREC machines for single-visit crowns. Patient testimonials frequently highlight the staff's friendliness, professionalism, and the truly "gentle" nature of their dental work.
