Our Team Report

I started at Dental Touch Associates in February of 1998. I received my dental hygiene degree from Hawkeye Community College. As a dental hygienist, I love getting to know my patients and working together to achieve good oral hygiene. I have been married to my husband, Bret, since 2001. We have two boys, Parker (2004) and Carson (2006).

Services Report

One of Dental Touch's Signature Services is the use of 3-D Dental Imaging. Regular x-rays are still the industry norm. But 3-D images are so much more help in treating patients that we use them on a regular basis. The latest development in crowns is the growing trend toward one-day crowns. New technology from the CEREC Corporation makes it possible to get a crown replaced in a single appointment.

Dr. Blaine McLaughlin Report

I was born in Iowa City and grew up in the town of Dysart, which is about an hour from Cedar Rapids. I did both my undergrad and dental training at the University of Iowa and graduated from dental college in 1995. I joined Dental Touch one year later and have been here ever since. I am very passionate about changing the way our patients view dentistry.

We made the switch to this dental practice about 7 months ago and couldn't be happier. Everyone is so friendly. They have been on time for all appointments. Their technology is way more advanced than our previous dental practice we went to.

The dental care team at Dental Touch is top notch. I have been going to there for years and could not be happier. I can not imagine that better treatment or care is available anywhere else. My dental hygienist, Molly, is a true gem and I look forward to my visits because of her. The dentists instill confidence and go above and beyond. Thank you Dental Touch!

This place was amazing and very helpful. I needed my sons tongue tie released. The staff explained everything to me in detail and helped me through everything I needed to do. The day of the appointment went so smooth. The staff was fantastic! Dr. Meghan was great with my son and he loved her.

Dr. Nelson and Brittney were amazing regarding our daughter's tongue tie. Very knowledgeable, took plenty of time with us going over everything and never felt pressure to go ahead with procedure. Encouraged us to have a few other things checked out before deciding. Would highly recommend and look forward to working with them in the future should we need to proceed.

I had the most AMAZING experience at Dental Touch! First time I have EVER been to a dental office that I didn't feel like I was being judged as I am very self conscious about my teeth, and ALL of my dental concerns were heard. Dr. Nelson and Rachel explained my dental plan perfectly! I highly recommend!

I LOVE dental touch! I have always been scared of the dentist and I was quite a pansy when I first started seeing Dr. Nelson. Dr. Nelson and her team made me so unbelievable comfortable and made sure all my needs were met without making me feel ridiculous for being scared! Now I get excited to go and see them because they are so funny and the atmosphere is so kind and fun. Dr. Nelson does AMAZING work and she is very attentive and caring.

The girls at the front are so nice and always a pleasure to speak to. I've learned a lot of the names of people that work there and when I go in it feels like I've known them forever even though I only see them a couple times a year. I cannot say enough good things about Dental Touch and I encourage everyone to go there! You will not regret it!
