The waiting room was full this morning when Creston’s new dental office building opened for business for the first time at 803 N. Sumner Avenue.

This new 8,000-square-foot building houses dentists Dr. Dave Buck, Dr. Todd Scott, Dr. Michael Buck and their staffs. The patients arriving this morning from Greenfield, Afton and Creston had no trouble with the weather.

Donna Tillman of Creston was Dr. Dave Buck’s first patient through the door. Tillman has been a patient of his since he arrived in Creston in 1982.

“This is very impressive,” Tillman said of the office, while hanging her coat up in the lobby.

Meanwhile, Dr. Michael Buck’s first patient was Joey Rutledge of Afton, and Dr. Scott met first with Maddie Frey of Creston.

This new building is being split evenly, with Dr. Scott operating on the south side and the Bucks on the north. A vestibule area separates the two offices. The Bucks have six brand-new treatment rooms and Scott has four.

Total, these three dentists have practiced in Creston for more than 54 years and currently serve about 5,000 patients in southwest Iowa.
