Pediatric Dental Service

Meet Our Doctor

Hi! I’m Dr. Chris Stevenson, a board-certified pediatric dentist. I’m a dad who’s passionate about helping kids feel confident and cared for at the dentist. I know most kids don’t think much about their teeth, but I believe that early, positive experiences can set them up for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Originally from Arizona, I earned my dental degree from Creighton in 2014 and later completed my pediatric residency at NYU Langone – Tucson in 2019. With the exception of residency, I’ve lived in Iowa since 2015. It’s where I’m raising my family and proud to serve this community.

Dr. Chris Stevenson and his Family

As a father of seven, including two children on the autism spectrum, I understand how important it is to create a patient, welcoming space for every child. That’s why I built Tooth Haven, a fun, calming dental home where kids feel supported, and parents feel heard. We offer evidence-based care with options to meet the needs of your family such as after braces white spot treatments with Curodont or early cavity remineralization with hydroxyapatite toothpaste.
When I’m not in the office, I’m usually spending time with my wife, Jennifer, racing through obstacle courses, or playing video games with my kids. I look forward to welcoming your family to Tooth Haven!

We had our first appt here today and our experience was 10/10 from the time I called to schedule the appointment. The receptionist (male) who I spoke to while scheduling appts helped me understand the insurance questions I had and scheduled our appointments promptly. I really appreciated him. Then today for our actual visit, the hygienist was very kind and thorough and then the dentist (Dr. Chris) was spectacular. They had a cancellation right after our cleaning so my son was able to get his work done right away and it was the easiest, most simple process. So glad we came here!!!!

We had such a great experience bringing our children here! I really appreciated the room setup where I could easily see all of my children at once during their appointments. The doctor was very kind, explained everything so well to my kids, and took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and patient, and my children genuinely enjoyed their visit — especially the coin machine at the end! We felt very welcomed and cared for, and the staff all did a wonderful job. Highly recommend for families with children!

We had our first visit at Tooth Haven today, and it was a wonderful experience! Ashley, the hygienist, was amazing with my toddler. She had him laughing and smiling the entire time, which made the visit so much easier and more enjoyable. Dr. Chris was fantastic, very professional and personable. He took the time to thoroughly discuss my son’s dental history and address all of my concerns. We felt very welcomed and well cared for from start to finish. Highly recommend!
