James Pollard

Dental care in Ames doesn’t have to mean a long drive across town. James Pollard offers routine checkups and more at 1620 S Kellogg Ave #107, a spot that blends into the quiet rhythm of the neighborhood without fuss. The practice handles everything from cleanings to fillings, plus root canals and crowns when needed, all within the same building most locals pass on their way to the grocery store or park.

Preventive care here follows the usual schedule—twice-yearly exams, X-rays when necessary, and sealants for younger patients. Those who dread the drill can ask about options for more involved work, including extractions and basic orthodontic adjustments. The office also fits mouthguards for athletes and night guards for anyone clenching their teeth after dark.

Finding the place is simple once you turn onto Kellogg from Lincoln Way. The suite sits in a low-slung strip of offices, sharing the lot with a tax preparer and a hair salon, so parking rarely becomes a hassle. Directions are clearer on the map, which shows the exact entrance to use.

Appointments can be booked by calling (515) 233-3303 during weekday hours. If you’ve been putting off that filling or just need a fresh cleaning, the number connects you straight to the front desk—no automated menu to navigate. A quick call is all it takes to get back on track with care that keeps the focus on healthy teeth, not fancy extras.
