Retirement Announcement

Dear Friends,

I am writing this letter to inform you that after a lot of thought and contemplation, I have decided to announce my retirement from the practice of dentistry. This summer marked my 37th year in practice, 34 of those here on East Euclid Ave in Des Moines! And some of you have been with me every step of the way! Starting July 1, 2024, I reduced my schedule to 2 days a week (Tues and Wed) and I will officially retire at the end of 2024.

I am so proud of the practice we have built here. But mostly, I'm proud of the relationships I have been blessed with, including many amazing members of my staff and also the many patients that I have met over the years. To my staff members that have become like family.........THANK YOU!! I couldn't have done it without your love, support and loyalty. To the many patients over the years, you have blessed me and my family more than you'll ever know. It has been my honor to be able to say, “I'm your dentist”. I never could have imagined the depth of relationships I would feel towards so many people from simply being the provider of their dental care. The mutual trust we've acquired has been incredible. Thank you for believing in me. I've seen generations of many families and you all will never know how special that makes me feel.

Cathy and I have been blessed with 3 kids and 4 grandchildren. Most of you have probably been held captive as I have made you look at their pictures over all the years! We have many adventures to attend to and look forward to spending more time with our family during retirement. Having more of a part time schedule has made me aware of how fast time goes by, and I am definitely looking forward to a slower and more relaxing pace.

Throughout my entire career here I have strived to treat my patients “the way I would want to be treated”. I expect that philosophy to continue, and I hope you will continue to visit Dr. Roemmich and my friends and colleagues at 609 E. Euclid.

As sad as I am to say “goodbye”, I am also filled with thoughts of blessings and gratitude. I hope you will stop me and say “hi” if you see me out and about in the community.

Thanks again for everything,

Don Copley

Happy Mother's Day!

Another Happy Patient

As dental professionals it is very gratifying when our patient is all smiles after their appointment.

Hello everyone,

Dentistry is a profession that I chose over 30 years ago. I have been very blessed with hundreds of satisfying experiences over the years. I recall helping many many children filled with anxiety and fear overcome “dental phobia” and become comfortable patients that ultimately realize the benefits of routine dental care. They become routine dental patients that require very little dental intervention and they end up enjoying their appointments with our caring hygienists. Providing dental care that results in a happier, healthier, and more estetically pleasing smile is amazing! This guy has been a joy to work with. He was congenitally missing his front teeth. Imagine that! He never ever had front teeth. His condition led to many years of surgical intervention followed by orthodontics and the best he had was a retainer that he could wear that had some false teeth attached. After our treatment he is now enjoying having a permanent bridge….one that looks and functions like regular teeth. Teeth like he’s never ever known! When the bridge went in and we finished his treatment the response that followed was one of the most rewarding of my career. His Mom’s tearful response got us all “going” here in the office. I even agreed to pictures. And yes I allowed this one online. It’s horrible of me! I had just come into the office after a jet-lagged trip and look at how tired and goofy I look! But I don’t care, I want everyone to focus on this guy…the one experiencing a smile that he’d never experienced before. Thanks go out to Ryan and his Mom for choosing us to provide his dental care. We at Copley Family Dental are very blessed indeed. Merry Christmas!
