Craig Dental Center

Craig Dental Center sits across the street from Waukee’s southern edge, where Warrior Lane folds into quiet blocks of mid-century homes and newer infill projects. The practice handles routine cleanings as well as crowns, fillings, and night guards, keeping a rotating roster of patients who need both preventive and restorative work. Teens and adults alike come in for orthodontic evaluations and tooth-whitening consultations, often on the same visit. The office also performs oral surgery under local anesthesia, with panoramic X-rays available if needed.

Stop by at 15 S Warrior Ln, Waukee, IA 50263. Mid-morning or early afternoon tends to be lighter, but traffic is usually light compared with the rush around the high school. Across the street, a Thai restaurant and a dollar store bracket the block, so parking is rarely a chore. The building shares a parking lot with a medical lab, so spaces closest to the entrance fill first.

General dentistry, implants, and emergency exams are offered Monday through Friday. Weekend slots are limited to urgent pain management and simple extractions. If your schedule bends around work hours, ask about early or late slots when you call. (515) 987-8387 connects you to the front desk without digging through menus.

A quick look at the directions (https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x87ec237db6048a95:0x9cae4335b2438dc9) confirms the curb cut on Warrior Lane—no highway detours required. From the east side of Des Moines, the route is a straight fifteen-minute jog up Hickman; from the west side, it’s essentially a continuation of Highway 6. Whether you’re coming from Altoona or Dallas Center, the map pin drops you on the same side of the street as the Thai place.
