Your first visit starts with what matters to you
Want a healthier smile, help with a tooth, or a dentist you feel comfortable seeing? Tell us what brought you in. Dr. Brandon Dawson and our Peoria team listen, explain the findings, and help you understand appropriate next steps.
Choose the right starting point
- Routine care or a new dental home: use our online scheduler or call for help choosing an appointment.
- Tooth pain or something broken: call our team to discuss your concern and check availability.
- A smile change or second opinion: call or request an appointment and tell us what you would like to discuss.
An appointment request through the contact form needs confirmation from our team. For appointment length or a specific scheduling need, call before booking so we can help you choose the right visit.
What happens at your visit?
First, we listen
Share what you would like to improve, any symptoms, and anything that would make your visit easier. We review your relevant medical and dental history.
Then, we explain
Dr. Dawson evaluates your teeth, gums, and bite and recommends imaging or other evaluation appropriate to your needs. We explain the findings, treatment priorities, and reasonable alternatives—including monitoring when appropriate.
You leave with a clearer next step
Ask what needs attention now, what may wait, and what the options involve. Learn about our conservative approach or independent second opinions.
Will I have a cleaning at my first appointment?
Cleaning depends on the appointment selected and what we find during your evaluation. Gum health or other concerns may call for a different type of care or another visit. Call us if you want help choosing an appointment that fits your goals.
Nervous—or has it been a while?
You can start wherever you are. Tell us about previous experiences, what worries you, and what would help you feel more comfortable. We can explain each step, discuss breaks, and consider appropriate comfort options after an individual assessment.
You do not need to know every treatment you might need before contacting us. Your first step can simply be a conversation with our team.
Insurance and treatment costs
Bring your current dental plan information. Our team can help you understand benefits and treatment estimates; coverage and out-of-pocket costs depend on your plan and the care proposed. Tell us about cost concerns so we can discuss priorities and reasonable options.
What if I don’t have dental insurance?
You can ask about visit costs before scheduling, whether or not you have dental insurance. Call 623-566-1310 or send a nonurgent cost question online. Ask what the visit includes, whether X-rays or a cleaning are separate, and what payment options are available. Our team will respond during office hours. Please leave insurance numbers and medical details out of the website form.
What to bring
- Photo identification and your dental insurance card, if you have coverage.
- A current medication list and information about allergies or relevant medical conditions.
- Your questions, goals, and any treatment recommendations you would like to discuss.
- Information about recent X-rays or dental records. Call ahead so we can arrange an appropriate way to obtain them.
Paperwork and records
When scheduling, ask how to complete your intake information and share records securely. Please do not send medical histories, insurance numbers, or X-rays through ordinary email or the general website contact form.
