Dr. Carrie Teahen

Elsewhere on Jefferson Street’s mid-block grid of offices sits one quiet third-floor suite where teeth get straight answers. Two floors up from the legal firms and accountants, Dr. Carrie Teahen keeps a practice that trades window displays for waiting lists—this is Coralville dentistry pared to the work you actually came to do. Across James Street the hospital looms, yet here the only beeping comes from diagnostics consoles.

At 2601 James St #300 the building wears plain beige brick and black-framed glass; inside, the setup is classic dentistry, no surprise. General cleanings share the schedule with crowns and implants, and pediatric slots run alongside sleep-apnea appliances. If your form shows a large box labeled “prior authorization,” the front window lists what staff need to make the next step simpler.

Practical matters settle in fast: dial (319) 359-3430 the same afternoon you Google “today’s openings” and still reach someone who can pencil Friday’s root-canal prep. No switchboard menus, just reception dipping straight into chair availability for the usual 9 a.m. start. Behind the frosted-glass door the décor is not the point.

Need a map? Aim straight for the building’s corner and follow whichever north–south alley slices closest; the cross-street blinks fastest on the blue pin. Save the link:
