EXCEPTIONAL. DENTISTRY. DEFINED.
Welcome to Exceptional Dentistry
Dubuque dentists Kristen Berning, Alexia Oetken, Ted Murray and the friendly team at Exceptional Dentistry want you to experience how comfortable modern dentistry has become and how beautiful your smile can be. Exceptional Dentistry has twice been named the Dubuque area FAVORITE dental office by the Her Magazine, a publication of the Telegraph Herald. Within moments of stepping into our office, you will realize that this is not your average dental office. The facility was designed to accommodate state-of-the-art technology and create a spacious environment in which all generations could feel comfortable. The quality details and clean lines were established to reflect our goal of exceeding expectations.
The Exceptional Dentistry Mission
It is our mission to deliver the very best health-centered, cosmetic, and anti-aging treatment to maintain or create natural, beautiful smiles. We provide value for our patients by ensuring the treatment that they receive is of the highest quality and that they are thoroughly satisfied with their care.
We know that modern dentistry can provide many options and sometimes all of the choices can be overwhelming. Our patients are more educated about their dental health than most and choose our office because they appreciate and value the difference. Our patients are top priority and we look to establish long-lasting relationships. Read our many wonderful patient reviews of our Dubuque Dentists.

Modern Dentistry with a Gentle Touch
We understand many patients experience dental anxiety. Exceptional Dentistry’s approach features a gentle touch, so important for children and those suffering from dental anxiety. We offer sedation dentistry as an excellent option for anxious or fearful patients because we value patient comfort. Sedation Dentistry options include nitrous oxide, conscious oral sedation and intravenous sedation. As members of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, we dedicate hundreds of continuing education hours per year as a commitment to our craft and advanced training. Progress is impossible without change. We enjoy what we do. We enjoy who we do it for. And we enjoy who we do it with.
