Leigh Bailey Werner, DDS
Dentist
Dr. Werner (aka Dr. Bailey) graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Northern Iowa in 2007. She received her Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Iowa College of Dentistry in 2012. Since then she has dedicated herself to staying current with the newest techniques and materials to be able to offer the best dental care available. She has completed many specialized courses to offer advanced services such as laser dentistry and full mouth rehabilitation. Whether it’s just a small filling or an implant supported denture- you are in caring and highly trained hands.
When Leigh is not at the office she enjoys gardening, cooking, fishing and playing music. She lives in Cedar Rapids with her husband Jon. We share our home with a large headed German wired hair pointer, Helmut, and a very vocal Siamese cat, Nessie.
“What I love most about being a dentist is being able to heal people and make their lives better. If you don’t feel good about your smile or you’re in pain-it’s very hard to enjoy your life. When we give someone their smile back- and you see that instant change in their confidence level- you give them their MOJO back! That’s the magic of what we can do – and that’s what we mean about how dentistry can change your life. That’s a great day at the office for me.”
