Convenient Access from Coal Valley
One highway does almost all the work between Coal Valley and Anderson Dental: US 6 carries you north through Moline and over the Mississippi in about 23 minutes. For families comparing a dentist in Coal Valley, IL, with a practice a short drive away, that single road makes our north-central Davenport office easy to fit into a school or work week. Two dentists, early starts and a broad mix of family, cosmetic and orthodontic care are waiting at the other end.
From the Village Hall at 900 1st Street, follow 1st Street north, turn west on 1st Avenue (US 6) and continue onto 69th Avenue. US 6 then joins I-74 for roughly seven miles through Moline, past the Quad Cities International Airport area, and crosses the toll-free I-74 Bridge into Bettendorf. Exit to Spruce Hills Drive, which becomes Kimberly Road, and head west about 2.2 miles.
Turn right onto Brady Street and then left onto 46th Street to reach 141 E 46th St, Davenport, IA 52806. The office sits just off Brady Street and Welcome Way, about half a mile north of Kimberly Road. The whole trip is about 13 miles and usually takes around 23 minutes, a little longer when the bridge is busy at rush hour. Get directions in Google Maps, or see our pages for East Moline and Moline, which share much of this route.
Family Dental Care That Fits Coal Valley Life
This is a village of settled households. At the 2020 census, close to six in ten homes were married couples and nearly a third had someone under 18 living there. Days fill up with school, work, and games at the Municipal Park ball diamond. A dental office that runs on a predictable schedule matters in a week like that.
Our hours start at 7:00 AM Monday through Thursday, which lets a parent fit in a cleaning before the workday or bring a teen in before classes. Because the drive is a straight run up US 6, booking back-to-back visits for two members of the household is simple to plan. We keep the schedule tidy so one trip across the river covers as much as possible.
Niabi Zoo, a 40-acre zoo set inside a forest preserve, is owned and operated by the Rock Island County Forest Preserve District. Families who spend a day outdoors know how quickly a chipped tooth or a sore jaw can interrupt plans. Knowing where to call before it happens takes some of the stress out of it, and our team answers the phone ready to help sort out what comes next.
Smile Questions Local Parents and Teens Ask Us
Teenagers are a big part of local life, and crooked or crowded teeth often come up during the high school years. Students in the Rock Island County part of the village attend the Moline-Coal Valley School District, which feeds Moline High School, while the Henry County side belongs to Orion CUSD 223. Clear aligners appeal to many students because they come out for meals, sports and photos. Invisalign for teens and growing smiles is one of the options we offer, planned with iTero digital impressions.
Adults bring their own concerns. The local median age sits in the mid-40s, an age when old fillings start to wear and the urge to brighten a smile grows. Small chips and stains can usually be handled with conservative cosmetic care. A sudden toothache or broken tooth, on the other hand, needs prompt attention, and our emergency appointments are built for that.
The village has a long working history of its own. As the Village of Coal Valley history page recounts, the name comes from the Coal Valley Mining Company, formed in 1856, and residents voted to incorporate in 1876. Today it is mostly residential, a Quad Cities suburb tied to Moline by US 6 and to Orion by US 150.
A Dentist in Coal Valley, IL, Families Can Share: Our Services
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings and exams are the backbone of family care. Booking back-to-back cleanings for a parent and a teen saves a second drive up US 6. Regular visits let us catch small cavities before they grow.
Invisalign®
Clear aligners straighten teeth without brackets or wires. Dr. Brill has trained in Invisalign, and new patients can start with a free consultation to see what treatment would involve.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Whitening, bonding and veneers can freshen a smile before graduation photos, a wedding or a new job. Dr. Anderson is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns and bridges repair teeth worn by years of use. With CEREC, a crown is designed, made and placed in a single visit in many cases, which spares adults from the village a second trip over the bridge. Dr. Anderson focuses on comprehensive rehabilitation for more complex cases.
Emergency Dentistry
A cracked tooth from a ball game or a toothache that will not settle should not wait. We offer same-day emergency exams, evaluation and diagnosis.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Anderson Dental from Coal Valley, and how do I get there?
The drive is about 13 miles and takes roughly 23 minutes. Head north and west on US 6 from the Village Hall, ride it with I-74 through Moline and over the I-74 Bridge, then take Kimberly Road and Brady Street to 46th Street. Families who want a dentist in Coal Valley, IL, often find the single-highway trip easy to repeat.
Is an onlay an alternative to a full crown?
Sometimes, yes. An onlay covers only the damaged part of a back tooth, while a crown caps the entire visible tooth. With CEREC, many patients can receive a permanent crown, onlay or veneer in one appointment. The dentist recommends the right repair after examining the tooth, and finishing in one visit can save Coal Valley patients a second drive over the I-74 Bridge.
Can a parent and a teen from Coal Valley book back-to-back visits?
Yes, the front desk can try to line up appointments one after the other. With two dentists in the office and first appointments at 7:00 AM Monday through Thursday, a parent's cleaning and a teen's aligner check can often share one trip up US 6, which saves a second drive over the bridge.
What should I do if a tooth gets knocked loose but stays in place?
Call the office right away and describe what happened. Bite gently on a clean cloth to hold the tooth in position, avoid chewing on that side and try not to wiggle it. The practice offers same-day emergency exams, evaluation and diagnosis for urgent problems, and the drive from Coal Valley takes about 23 minutes.
Is Invisalign a good fit for teens from Coal Valley?
It can be, and a consultation is the way to find out. Invisalign for teens uses clear, removable aligners, so students can take them out to eat and brush. New patients receive a free Invisalign consultation, where you can learn whether aligners suit your teen and what the treatment would involve.
