Dr. Carrie Teahen

Davenport’s quiet west side still feels like the kind of neighborhood where everyone knows the name of the dentist down the block. That dentist is Dr. Carrie Teahen, tucked into a low-slung plaza at 5216 Sheridan St #160, a spot that’s easy to miss if you’re not looking for it.

General dentistry doesn’t usually make headlines, but it’s the kind of steady, unflashy work that keeps a community running. Teahen’s office handles routine cleanings, fillings, and the occasional emergency crown without turning the visit into a production. The address—just off Brady Street—puts it close enough to the river to catch the breeze in summer, though the parking lot is usually half-empty by mid-morning.

If you’re due for a check-up or just need a new mouthguard, the number to call is (319) 359-3430. They’ll slot you in between school pickups and grocery runs, the way dentists in towns like this always have. No frills, no sales pitch, just the basics done right.
