Laura Giese, DDS

Welcome to Sergeant Bluff Smiles!

My name is Laura Giese and I am excited to introduce you to Sergeant Bluff Smiles. I was born and raised in Sioux City, graduated from Creighton University in 2004 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and again in 2008 with my Doctorate in Dental Surgery. My husband, Bob, and I have four children- Cal, Hazel, William, and Lou. They keep us busy and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

I am passionate about what I do. I sincerely care about each and every person that walks through my door. I’m here to serve the community. My goal is YOUR optimal oral health. A healthy smile is a happy smile.

I would love to help you.

Dr. Blake Kuiper, DDS

I am originally from Emmetsburg, Iowa. I completed my undergraduate studies at Morningside College, where I earned a degree in Biology. During my time at Morningside College, I  competed in Cross Country and Track & Field. I completed my dental training at The University of Iowa College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics, where I earned a Distinction in Dental Public Health. Upon graduating dental school, I practiced dentistry in Columbus, Ohio and Mankato, Minnesota. I love the transformative power of dentistry. Outside of dentistry, I enjoy being outdoors, running, and spending time with my husband, Justin, and three children. I am excited to join Sergeant Bluff Smiles and I am looking forward to serving the community!
