We use the advanced Zoom whitening system to enhance the aesthetics of your smile while safely removing deep stains and discoloration. Many patients achieve a noticeably brighter smile after just one visit.

Composite bonding is a versatile cosmetic dentistry solution that can quickly improve the appearance of your smile. This treatment is often used to enhance symmetry, repair small imperfections, and create more natural-looking results.

I have been going to Ames Center For Cosmetic & Family Dentistry for many years. Since the first visit, the quality of care and compassion is truly evident. Dr. Amie and her team are seriously the best! The reception staff are always so friendly and very helpful. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful team be apart of my care. In addition to routine cleanings, Dr. Amie was able to help me when one of my bonded retainers started becoming loose. They always go above and beyond for their patients. I would highly recommend this place for anyone needing dental care, you will be in the best hands. Thank you for all you do!

Great staff, friendly, knowledgeable.
Efficient. Today Anna helped me get my Invisalign checkup at same time as my cleaning so I could skip a month off check-ins, especially helpful since I planned to be out of state. I didn’t bring it up though. She noticed it when looking to book my next appt and suggested it to Amie. Amie was able to work that into her day and I still had time for a paraffin wax for my hands. Very friendly staff who work together as a team and make sure you know your plan and what to expect at future appts. Thank you all for the great care!!

I always enjoy going into the office. EVERYONE is so nice. I learned about Dr. Amie because I needed an appliance made for my sleep apnea; which is far better than putting one of those apparatuses around my head and having air forced down my nose. The appliance is by far, a better choice. Dr. Amie knows her stuff. She has been great through the whole process and it is working well.
