Jessica Sanborn, DDS, is a general dentist at Urbandale Smiles. She is happy to be a part of the wonderful team and serve patients in Urbandale, Iowa. Dr. Sanborn was born and raised in a city called Lincoln in Nebraska.

She completed her doctorate in dental surgery at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in 2015. After obtaining her degree, she practiced as a full-time dentist in rural Nebraska for four years. She decided to move with her daughters and husband, who is a nurse, and take a new direction in their lives. They decided to pursue their passion for adventure and have spent three years traveling around the United States.

Dr. Sanborn spent that time being a temporary dentist while balancing her life as a full-time mom, and her husband took jobs as a travel nurse. Their family is grateful for all the opportunities and sights they were able to experience.

She is excited to settle down and call the Des Moines area her home. At Urbandale Smiles, she looks forward to providing top dental care using the latest treatments and offering her broad insight into patient care.

Outside of patient care, Dr. Sanborn enjoys camping, hiking, and skiing.
