Dr. Chris Lawhead
Dental Background
Dentistry is deeply rooted in my family. For over 100 years, the Lawhead family has been providing dental care to communities throughout the state of Iowa. It is an honor and a privilege to bridge the history of my family’s legacy with the new techniques and practices of dentistry today. As a recent graduate, I have been trained in modern dentistry, and staying up-to-date with the latest techniques and materials is important to me. I intend to keep learning through Continuing Education courses to improve my knowledge and skills so that my patients can receive the best and most advanced treatment available.

Personal Life
Growing up, I was born, raised, and graduated from high school in Muscatine. Muscatine is home for me, and I feel strongly connected to the community and its people. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading, and catching movies at the local theater. I have a Chocolate Lab named Riley that keeps me very active outdoors after work and on the weekends. I am also an avid Iowa Hawkeye fan and enjoy attending football and basketball games.
