Dr. Brad Richtsmeier, DDS

Dr. Brad received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Iowa in 2007. He has been awarded Fellowship honors in the Academy of General Dentistry for his achievements in post-graduate dental education, a designation achieved by less than 5% of dentists in the United States. He has completed extensive education and certification in multiple surgical modalities, as well as sedation dentistry.

Dr. Brad is an active member of the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology. He enjoys helping fearful and anxious patients get the dental care they need by providing in-office IV sedation for their surgical or restorative treatment needs.

Dr. Brad has a strong clinical focus on restoring function and esthetics for patients who are missing teeth. He has been awarded a Fellowship with the International Dental Implant Association for his extensive training and knowledge. Dr. Brad is a certified provider of the Hybridge Dental Implant system for full mouth restoration. He offers something to fit everyone’s needs for tooth replacement. He provides patients with the highly desirable option of fixed implants on a daily basis, whether for single or multiple teeth. For patients who find removable dentures to be their most desirable option, Dr. Brad works directly with a highly trained and dedicated lab technician, who specializes in custom esthetic dentures for superior options with or without implant support.

Dr. Brad is also an active member of The American Dental Association, The Iowa Dental Association, and the Des Moines District Dental Society. In addition, he volunteers as a dental provider for Iowa’s Dental Lifeline Network and Donated Dental Services. Dr. Brad is also passionate about volunteering for Dentistry From The Heart and Iowa’s Mission of Mercy. Along with serving his community, he has recently traveled abroad to areas of need completing dental mission trips in El Salvador, Costa Rica, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic.

When he’s not in the office, you can find Dr. Brad hanging out with his family: Mindy, Emma, and Max. His passions outside of dentistry include racing motorcycles and downhill skiing.
