Mr Jeffrey F. Allen

Dr. Allen grew up in eastern Iowa and graduated from Augustana College in Illinois with a degree in biology. He then earned his doctorate of dental science from the University of Iowa College of Dentistry in 1987. Dr. Allen and his wife, Paula, moved to Des Moines, IA, where he worked in a group practice and she worked in management for the renowned department store, Von Maur. The 9 years they spent in Des Moines allowed Dr. Allen to gain valuable dental experience and establish good working relationships with several specialists. Dr. and Mrs. Allen moved to Pella in 1996, where Dr. Allen opened his family dentistry office in a historic building downtown on the square. In 2003, the building was completely renovated and expanded to accommodate the growing practice. In addition to his private practice in Pella, Dr. Allen has served as an adjunct faculty member helping senior dental students in the Department of Family Dentistry at the University of Iowa. The Allens participate in many community events and activities, and support the community, its schools, and local non-profit organizations. Their daughter, Katie, was involved in tennis and dance throughout her high school and college years. Dr. Allen enjoys all aspects of dentistry, especially incorporating new technology and materials into his daily patient care. He feels fortunate to be in a profession in which he can help people enjoy a higher quality of life by providing exceptional dental care. He is proud to keep a warm and friendly atmosphere in his office so that his patients feel welcome and well-cared for. In their free time, Dr. Allen and his wife enjoy exercising, hiking, playing tennis, biking, playing cards with friends, watching movies, and traveling.
