Dr. Austin Reed
Dr. Reed has cared for patients in Peosta and the Dubuque area since opening his practice in 2006. His approach combines modern dentistry, thoughtful communication, and care that is tailored to the person in the chair—not a one-size-fits-all treatment plan.
Whether the goal is prevention, restoring comfort and function, improving a smile, or planning Invisalign® treatment, he focuses on making each step clear and helping patients feel comfortable with the decisions they make about their care.
Personalized Dentistry Built Around Trust
Dr. Reed believes strong dental care starts with listening. He takes time to understand a patient’s concerns, goals, health history, and expectations before recommending treatment.
That conversation helps shape a plan designed around long-term oral health, comfort, function, and appearance. Patients can expect clear explanations, practical options, and modern technology used where it adds value to their care.
What Patients Can Expect
- Individualized treatment planning
- Clear communication before and during treatment
- A strong focus on patient comfort
- Modern dental technology and techniques
- Preventive, cosmetic, restorative, and clear-aligner care in one practice
“It is an honor to be trusted with a person’s oral health, and I take that responsibility seriously. Personalized dentistry helps us choose the right approach while keeping each patient’s comfort and goals in mind.” — Dr. Austin Reed
Training That Supports Comprehensive Care
Dr. Reed completed undergraduate studies at Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa, with a dual major in Biology and Business Economics. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Iowa College of Dentistry and completed a pediatric dentistry rotation at St. Luke’s Hospital in Cedar Rapids.
He continues to pursue advanced education in areas such as digital dentistry, cosmetic and restorative care, orthodontic treatment, and modern clinical technology.
Family, Community & Life Outside the Office
Originally from Urbandale, Iowa, Dr. Reed moved to Peosta after dental school and opened his practice in July 2006. He and his wife, Elizabeth, lived in Peosta for six years before moving to Dubuque when their oldest son began school.
Dr. Reed and Elizabeth are parents to four sons: Barrett, Brooks, Beau, and Briggs. Outside the office, he enjoys coaching his sons’ sports teams, golfing, spending time with family and friends, and supporting the local community. He has volunteered with Dubuque Senior High School and has served as president of the DSHS Booster Club.
He also enjoys cheering on the Chicago Cubs, Carolina Panthers, and Iowa Hawkeyes.
Current Invisalign® Pearl Provider Status
Invisalign® clear aligner therapy is one of Dr. Reed’s areas of focused experience. Peosta Dental is recognized as an Invisalign® Pearl Provider for 2026, reflecting the practice’s recent treatment volume and experience with clear-aligner cases.
Provider tier is one factor patients may consider when choosing an Invisalign provider; it is not a guarantee of any individual treatment result.
