Hello everyone! My name is Dr. Nicole Brummel, co-owner and dentist at Altoona Smiles. Thank you for taking time to learn more about myself and our practice.
After graduating from Southeast Polk High School in 2002, I attended Iowa State University for undergraduate studies. I am a graduate of The University of Iowa College of Dentistry class of 2009. While attending The University of Iowa I met my incredible husband, Daniel. We were married at St. John and Paul in Altoona in July of 2008, and now have two amazing children, Isabelle and Benjamin. Daniel and I enjoy spending our limited free time golfing and traveling. Our family loves being in the Des Moines area close to our family and friends.
As a dentist, my goal is to always help patients achieve a beautiful, healthy smile in a relaxed and caring environment. We believe an attractive smile is the best way to create a positive and lasting first impression.
Let us help you achieve your best smile today!

By far the most professional and caring staff I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. They make going to the dentist actually enjoyable. If you want the best I’d suggest Altoona Smiles 😃
Experience starts right when you walk in the door. Greeted with welcomes and happy faces! Every staff member is exceptional at making you feel comfortable and are friendly!
Dr. Nicole and Emily are simply amazing! They do whatever it takes to make you feel comfortable. They go that extra mile to ensure you have the best care!
From someone who rarely went to the dentist to now going every 6 months, I definitely recommend Altoona Smiles!! My hygienist, Emily makes going to the dentist so easy!
Darcy was so professional and explained things to me the entire time. Just so refreshing to come to Dentist’s office and feel like part of their family. Thank you so much!!!
Very pleased with Altoona Smiles. Going to the dentist is not high on my list of things I enjoy. The staff is very friendly and professional. Sabrina especially is great at putting you at ease.
My experience at Altoona Smiles was very positive. Dr. Eric & Kaylor were thorough & pleasant. I have a great fear of dentists & they made me feel relaxed & comfortable.
I was very afraid to go to the dentist but everyone made me feel welcome and happy. I had some pretty major dental work done and Dr. Jenni and the assistant kept me calm.
