Dr. Eric Forsberg
Being a Dentist is a great privilege for Dr. Eric, who earned his Doctorate from the University of Iowa in 2003, and in 2011 opened the doors to Altoona Smiles’ initial location off of 8th Street. With more than 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Eric enjoys the variety that comes with helping people Smile! Professionally Dr. Eric has completed certifications with the American Academy of Facial Esthetics and Invisalign, is an active member of the American Dental Association and Iowa chapter, and is a self described dental nerd and lover of Dad jokes. He also spent over a decade teaching as an adjunct professor for the Univ. of Iowa College of Dentistry. Dr. Eric encourages and coaches patients to take an active role in educating and learning about oral health matters. Unlocking the Smile patients see within themselves is his professional passion.
Dr. Eric is proficient and has experience with esthetic makeovers, Invisalign, Botox, Root Canals, Extractions, and tooth replacement options such as implants, bridges, and even dentures. He takes pride in offering customized solutions that focus on quality and value.
Personally, Dr. Eric was born and raised a Hawkeye, and enjoys all things football. Once upon a time he played for Central College, and served as coach for multiple age levels. He also enjoys traveling, hiking, homemade ice cream, and relaxing with family.
