Dentist in Mediapolis, IA

Families in Mediapolis don’t have to drive to a bigger town for quality dental care. Our Columbia Street office brings Pothitakis Dental Group’s care to rural Des Moines County two days a week — Tuesdays from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm and Wednesdays from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm — with Dr. Barbara Gipple and Dr. Mark Pothitakis sharing patient care here.

From a child’s first checkup to dentures and everything between, this office handles the dental needs most families have: cleanings and exams, digital X-rays, fillings, crowns and bridges, and extractions, along with cosmetic options like whitening. Anyone searching for a dentist in Mediapolis, IA will find the same standard of care the group provides across all of its Southeast Iowa offices — without leaving town — and it’s a convenient option for families from Wapello, Morning Sun, and other communities north of Burlington as well. For treatments that call for additional visits or scheduling flexibility, patients can also be seen at the group’s West Burlington office, about fifteen minutes away.

Because the office is open Tuesdays and Wednesdays, appointments here are in demand — call 319-394-3255 to get on the schedule. New patients can complete their forms online ahead of time (or print and fill them in by hand), and the team is happy to help with insurance and payment questions before your visit.

Dr. Barbara Gipple has practiced dentistry since 1989, grew up in Southeast Iowa herself, and focuses on the preventive and restorative care that keeps small-town smiles healthy for the long run. She shares patient care here with Dr. Mark Pothitakis, the group’s founder, who has practiced since 1992.

Tuesday and Wednesday hours are set with local families in mind — Tuesday’s 8:00 am to 2:00 pm window works well around school pickups, while Wednesday runs a full day until 5:00 pm for after-work appointments. Skipping the drive to a bigger town isn’t just convenient; it’s often the difference between keeping a checkup and putting it off. Regular preventive visits close to home are how small problems stay small.
