Welcome to Kerr Family Dental, the Osceola, Iowa dental practice of Dr. Derek Kerr and his team. We look forward to meeting you! We welcome new patients of all ages - even kids - and our entire staff is dedicated to helping each of you maintain a healthy, comfortable smile. Nothing is worse than being treated like just another person on the schedule.
We never treat our patients that way because one of the greatest joys we get to experience is getting to know each of you personally. We look forward to your visits and to catching up on the latest developments in your family - marriages, babies, and graduations are all milestones we love to be a part of. Every patient is unique and so are your dental needs.
We customize your treatment plan to match your oral health needs and how they change over time. By approaching your care in this way, we constantly strive to prevent oral health conditions, whenever possible. Our office is located near Main Street and West Jefferson Street in downtown Osceola.

This is why we may use an intraoral camera during your visit.
An intraoral camera allows us to see things that don't show up on x-rays and may be missed with the naked eye.
It also gives us the ability to show you a picture of what is going on in your mouth.
This information can be used to help educate you on oral issues or see why certain treatment may be recommended.
It also allows you and Dr. Kerr to discuss what is going on and decide together what the best course of treatment would be.
Sometimes we will send these pictures to your insurance company to help you get the most benefit out of your insurance.

Dental Cleanings and Periodontal Treatment
Report
Just like a house needs a strong foundation to stand on, so do your teeth.
Healthy bone and gums are the strong foundation your teeth need in order to function properly.
Regular dental cleanings and check-ups are essential in maintaining this healthy foundation.
Your mouth is also the gateway to the rest of your body and research has linked periodontal (gum) infections to many other health issues such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
By achieving a healthy state in your mouth and maintaining it, you are protecting the rest of your body.

Children's Dentistry
Report
At Kerr Family Dental we believe caring for our teeth starts before we even get our baby teeth.
Creating a lifetime of healthy teeth and cavity free check-ups is our main goal for all of the kiddos.
We try and make it as convenient as possible to schedule the whole family at one time whenever possible.
Baby teeth are an important part of a child's development.
Dr. Kerr can relate to the challenges of caring for children's teeth because he has young kids of his own and has to brush and floss their teeth every night.
