We are the ultimate scardy cats.  We were new to the Quad City area so I asked for referrals for a dentist from some of my co-workers.  Several came forward with Dr. Dahl's name.  They said she was the only dentist they would see.   It was time for both my kids and I to have a dental exam.  So, I called Dr. Dahl's office and made our appointment.  My daughter was a trooper and went right in.  She was a little scared but she watched cartoons through most of her exam.  My son and I were much more reluctant to go in to see Dr. Dahl.  Dr. Dahl and all of her staff made us feel much more relaxed.  They talked to us and explained everything they were going to do.  They put Oprah on for me to watch and cartoons for my son.  They have TV's in all the their exam room's.  It helps to keep your mind on other things.  It was the best dental exam I ever had.  Dr. Dahl has the most modern equipment available.  She showed me I had a cracked tooth with a camera.  I had no idea I had a cracked tooth.  I'm so glad she caught it early.  She was able to repair it early before it was serious.  She examined all of my teeth and gums and charted them for future reference.  

My son had to have his first filling and was very upset about it. He did not want to have a needle any where near him.  Dr. Dahl showed him what she would do and talked him right through it.  My son said "That was easy...not bad at all". 

We are very happy with Dr. Dahl and her staff. 

Thank you

When I first started going to Christine, I had not had dental insurance. So that said, my teeth had been ignored. My 1st cleaning session took 2 appointments. Her staff whittled away at getting them all cleaned up. I also had cavities that needed to be filled. I hated getting that done, but Christine is so gentle and kind. She was and always has been so conscientious about my comfort level. She has a way of putting me at ease. Instead of getting root canals as recommended before having insurance, I would have them pull the teeth. It was cheaper. I now have 2 bridges that Christine did a beautiful job with. How nice. A full mouth of teeth that are no muss no fuss. Wow. It has been a number of years ago and I have never had a problem in any way with them.

I also took my children to her. My youngest daughter (age 4 at the time) was so deathly afraid, Christine actually recommended I take her to a specialist instead of putting her in a situation that might affect her for the rest of her life. That meant a lot to me, and not all dentists would do that. Again, Christine ALWAYS puts her patients needs before her own.

When my permanent teeth came in, I had what they call "peg laterals." What that means is that my eye teeth were small. I was always self conscious about them. I would practice smiling so that they would not show as much. A few years ago, Christine suggested that we put veneers on them. I am here to tell you, she changed my life! When she showed them to me in the mirror, I cried. Christine cried. We hugged. I couldn't believe my eyes! My being self conscious about them was no longer a concern. I am in sales and my confidence level increased tenfold. Smiling is my favorite thing to do to this day. When she and I talk about it today, we both get choked up. It was a total transformation.

My last check up with Christine turned up a cavity in my front tooth. My other front tooth was chipping and getting thin. She put bonding on them and they are beautiful again. It matches my color perfectly. No one would ever know unless they looked at my chart.

I have recommended several patients to Christine over the years and strongly recommend you try her too.

Getting older with Christine as my dentist, has helped me keep a youthful looking set of teeth. I just wish she had a magic eraser for the wrinkles.

Thank you Christine!

The best part of it all was that it was an absolutely painless experience. While I'm at it, let me also give kudos to your staff members who always have a professional attitude and who are always helpful.

I am constantly amazed at the level of skill, efficiency and friendliness of everyone at Bettendorf Dental. Their willingness to listen to the patient and devise solutions is very refreshing. Bettendorf Dental is truly a benchmark to measure not just other dental care providers, but the general health care industry.

My wife was so impressed by Dr. Dahl and her staff, that now she is also a patient, as is our granddaughter. We can never say enough good things about the excellent care we receive at Bettendorf Dental and we recommend Dr. Dahl to everyone.

While Dr. Dahl will be my dentist for as long as she stays in practice, she will always be my friend. Thanks for everything Doc.
