Dr. Erin M. Mclaughlin, DDS

General dental care isn’t just about repairs and cleanings—it’s routine maintenance for long-term health. Dr. Erin M. Mclaughlin, DDS keeps local smiles in top shape east of Des Moines, accepting new and established patients Monday through Friday. Fillings, crowns, hygiene cleanings, and fluoride treatments take place down the hall from Stratford Elementary, at 12119 Stratford Dr, Clive, IA 50325.

Beyond basic care, the clinic tackles tooth pain promptly with root-canal therapy and performs oral surgery on site. Pediatric exams get kids comfortable early, while adults use whitening at home with custom trays. Clear aligners slip over crowded arches, and two-anchor bridges replace missing teeth without dentures. Give the front desk a ring at (515) 440-7003 to book hygiene appointments two months out or urgent clench-and-grind guard fittings next week.

Stop by for a smile tune-up, then push the exit south, past the cul-de-sac and two stoplights, straight to Highway 6. Traffic moves fast on Merle Hay Road if you’re coming from Ankeny.
