Compassion and Expertise

At The Nest, your child isn’t just a patient. The practice is named The Nest for a reason – you will find love, comfort and a dental home just for kids! 

Our pediatric dentists pride themselves on delivering the best treatment options for your child.  As you walk through our office, you will notice that everything is clean, comfortable and designed for children. Your child’s experience is our priority!

All of our dental rooms are private.

We have rooms:
 — for littles who like to run and play!
 — with one dental chair, for kids on their own!
 — with two dental chairs, for siblings to be seen together!
 — adjacent and connected rooms for larger families with 3+ kids!

This is important to minimize distractions, and provide a comfortable and private space for each family.  We are the only pediatric dental office in the Des Moines area to have separate rooms for each family. 

We are local!

Many Des Moines pediatric dental practices are corporate dental offices based out of state, even though they don’t advertise this.  The Nest Pediatric Dentistry is a small business, owned and operated by Dr. Diana Pelzer.

Modern and Helpful

We know that your time is valuable.  We offer paperless forms, appointment reminders via text or email, and a quick turnaround time on calls and requests to make your life easier.

Comprehensive Dental Care

At our practice, we are qualified to handle all aspects of your child’s care, so you are always surrounded by people  you trust. Dr. Pelzer and Dr. Yoshioka are pediatric specialists and offers both laughing gas (nitrous oxide) and IV sedation for treatment visits for patients who are too young or anxious.
