Meet Dr. Amy Wilken
One of the things I love most about dentistry is being able to give people a smile they can be proud of while changing their perception of going to the dentist. I am fully committed to dentistry because I love getting to know our patients and providing them with individualized dental treatment that is right for their health and lifestyle. Cosmetic dentistry is my passion; over the years our team has transformed so many people’s smiles and confidence.

Family and Community
I grew up in Anamosa and have lived in Eastern Iowa my whole life. My husband JJ is a prosthodontic dental specialist here at the practice. We have three daughters — Brooke, Lauren, and Ashlyn — who provide us with lots of entertainment and joy. In my spare time, I enjoy watching Iowa Hawkeye football, biking, and being with family and friends.
Our community is very important to me, as well. Currently, I am a volunteer dentist for Mercy Hospice House, Mercy Hospital, and the Community Health Free Clinic in Cedar Rapids.
