At South Des Moines Dental, our main focus is on providing our patients with the best quality of dental care available. We look forward to serving the Des Moines area as well as nearby communities. We have been a part of the neighborhood for generations, caring for many of the same families through the years.
Many of our team members have been with the practice for years, and we invite you to read our biographies below so you can get to know us a bit before you come in for your first visit. Dr. Kyle Connolly and the rest of the South Des Moines Dental staff look forward to getting to know you and your family. We want to set you on the path for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Maggie is very passionate about eating healthy and working out and inspires many on the staff to do the same.
