Dr. Moreno loves being a dentist because she loves making a difference. Dental pain is one of the worst pains a human can experience, and she enjoys helping people get out of pain.

In addition to providing excellent dental care in her West Liberty, IA, Muscatine, IA, and North Liberty, IA dentist offices, Dr. Moreno and her family also contribute greatly to their community. A few of her efforts include:

  • Founding West Liberty Youth Dream Catchers with her husband, Ed
  • Starting a free children’s dental clinic in Muscatine in the Unity Public Health Building in 2004, which has now been folded into the children’s dental clinic at the MCSA building
  • Helping the Free Sealant program in Muscatine County get started by being the first dentist to volunteer

What our patients are saying

Hannah D.North Liberty
All of the dentists at gentle family dentists are amazing! We love Dr. Carole! Her approach is so effective! It has saved both our children from oral surgery in their late teens years. The entire staff is thoughtful, kind, extremely caring and gentle! It is a pleasure to be treated there!
Amber P.North Liberty
Great experience and the team truly showed concern for me during my extraction experience. They were able to get me in quick and then also accommodated my crazy work schedule and got several timely services done before work so I would not be in pain any more. I would recommend this team to anyone. And if you are not using these wonderful people then you are missing out.

I don’t go but my twin boys do! They love it so much they make the boys feel comfortable and happy when being seen by anyone always a clean and loving environment for them to get their dental work done! They’re 5 so it’s a big part of the reason why we chose to go with gentle family dentist they are so nice to us!
Benjamin W.West Liberty
Dr. Caroline did an amazing job with my crowns on my front teeth, fitting my night guard many times until it was right, and guiding me through the zoom at home whitening kit. I have a whole different smile and I feel so confident. Every person there is so friendly and helpful! Thanks so much!
Laura P.Muscatine
Chipped a molar last night eating popcorn. This morning they were able to get me in for a quick x-ray, then get an appointment scheduled for the afternoon to do the crown. I wasn’t in any pain but I feel so fortunate to have had it fixed so quickly! They have fancy technology & knew exactly what they were doing. Perfectly matched the tooth color. Extremely pleased with my experience!
Laura L.Muscatine
I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate this office. I have hated the dentist for most of my life and stopped going. Now I have teeth issues that embarrasses me. Dr. Grant and the staff have been amazing and made me feel so supported and not judged at all. I’m so happy I found this clinic. I can’t wait to get my smile back!
