Dr. Jed S. Hand, DDS

A dentist isn’t the first stop everyone thinks of, but anyone needing crowns, dental implants, or a routine cleaning ends up here sooner or later. Services span basic checkups to more involved procedures, all under one roof. The Dental Science Bldg on Hawkins Dr. anchors the west edge of campus; it’s where faculty and patients alike get things done without extra fanfare.

Catch it at 1011 Hawkins Dr, Iowa City, IA 52242 in the university’s health cluster—parking can be tight during clinic hours, so plan ahead. Inside the building most people keep a straight line toward the back hallway; signage is small, but the flow rarely stalls. Whether you need a root canal or a simple filling, the setup keeps most visits within an hour unless you’re scheduled for imaging first.

Call (319) 335-7440 in the morning if you’ve got an after-hours emergency listed on the university’s health line. They’ll triage over the phone and let you know if you should head straight over or wait for the next open slot. Walk-ins are hit-or-miss—after 10 a.m. the schedule tightens, so timing matters.

For a quick visual before you head out, pull up the map: directions take five minutes from downtown if traffic at the railroad crossing stays light. After that it’s just doors, numbers, and the usual chair-side shuffle.
