Johnson Chad DDS

Just south of the Des Moines River valley, Copper Creek Drive winds through Pleasant Hill’s newer office parks and medical corridors. On that stretch sits a quietly reliable office that keeps the basics in good repair—Johnson Chad DDS. The practice handles most things that can be handled in a general dental office; cleanings, fillings, crowns and bridges are all on the regular menu. They also keep a chair for kids and adolescents who need a check-up or sealants every six months, and they can be counted on for basic extractions or simple root-canal work when trouble arises.

The exact spot is hard to miss thanks to the copper-clad awnings over Suite K. Walk in, give your name at the desk, and proceed to the operatory; you’ll find the familiar rhythm of bite-wing radiographs, digital scans, or numbing injections when the case calls for it. They fit a night guard if you grind at night, reline a denture that has started to slip, or whiten a smile that has picked up too many coffee rings over the years.

Always bring your insurance card and a photo ID—they’ll need to compare the two when you arrive. Call ahead so the front office can slot you into an opening; Weave (515) 266-3700 into the sentence when you ring to book. Directions live on the maps listing if you’re coming from anywhere between Altoona and Ankeny. https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x87ee96ec64b0c77b:0x87ee96ec64b0c77b:0xe1e902743192bbb5
