Dr. Rico Bertagnolli Family Dentistry, PC

The dentist is one of the essential stops on any maintenance list. Dr. Rico Bertagnolli Family Dentistry keeps general cleanings and exams straightforward. They handle pediatric care as well as adult treatments under one roof. Crowns, fillings, and tooth-whitening services round out the daily mix.

Find them at 921 E 23rd St, Des Moines, IA 50317—a block from the old YMCA pool, easy to reach by bus or car. Most weekday mornings the small parking lot fills fast; circling the block pays off by 10 a.m. When it rains, the covered drop-off along the east side keeps umbrellas dry.

A quick call sets the first appointment; the front desk walks through paperwork in advance so chairs don’t sit empty. They accept most PPO plans and can file claims the same day. For after-hours urgencies they give clear voicemail prompts pointing to the nearest urgent-care clinic.
