Erika Peddicord, DDS
I truly love what I do for a living — getting to know each of our wonderful patients and providing customized treatment designed to guide patients toward achieving their dental goals brings so much joy to my life! It’s similar to navigating a road map, together with the patient we follow it to the destination: Beautiful Smile!! There is nothing more rewarding than being on this journey with my patients and seeing the final, beautiful smile that comes from their commitment to their dental health and trusting me with their care. It’s a responsibility that brings much delight and satisfaction to my life.
I am committed to life-long learning and I am always advancing my skills and knowledge so I can continue to provide outstanding care to my patients. I participate in dental study clubs and attend continuing education seminars and workshops to keep pace with the ever-evolving dental technologies and innovations. My wonderful team of compassionate, committed, and caring individuals will greet you with a smile and help you on your dental journey. We are continuously evaluating and enhancing our professional skills, techniques, and systems to stay at the top of our game and serve you better!
I attended the University of Iowa and earned an undergraduate degree in Exercise Science/Integrated Physiology. While working on my undergraduate degree, I had the privilege of being a dental assistant, which jump-started my interest in dentistry! I then attended the University of Iowa College of Dentistry and graduated in 2007 with my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. I opened Peddicord Family Dentistry in January of 2009 and I’m honored and grateful for the wonderful Ankeny community and the patients who have trusted me with their care since then.
I was fortunate to be born and raised in Eastern Iowa where I grew up on my family farm. I met my husband and best friend, Patrick, my freshman year in college and we now have two wonderful children. When not at my practice, I enjoy spending time with family and friends playing games, spending time outside, going on bike rides, attending church events, traveling, and more. My hobbies include exercising, gardening, painting, reading, cooking, and attending our kids’ activities. Most importantly, my family and faith provide me with perspective, support, and guidance in all aspects of my life including my practice.
I look forward to meeting you and embarking on your dental journey with you!
