Convenient Access from Long Grove
Long Grove keeps a little dental history close to home: the Walnut Grove Pioneer Village includes a re-created Doctor & Dentist Office from the days when the town doctor usually handled teeth too. Modern care is a short drive away. For anyone who wants a dentist in Long Grove, IA, Anderson Dental in north-central Davenport is about 14 minutes from City Hall, and our first appointments start at 7:00 AM Monday through Thursday.
From Long Grove City Hall on North 1st Street, head south to East Grove Road and turn east; the road becomes 267th Street as it leaves town. In about a mile you meet US 61. Turn south and stay on the highway for roughly 8.7 miles as it crosses over I-80 and enters north Davenport, then turn onto West 46th Street. Our office at 141 E 46th St, Davenport, IA 52806 sits just off the highway at West 46th Street, beside the Brady Street and Welcome Way pair.
The full 10-mile trip usually takes about 14 minutes, and nearly all of it is on US 61, though rush hour can slow the last stretch in Davenport. If you like a landmark, NorthPark Mall is about a quarter mile south-southwest of us. Find us on Google Maps to save the route on your phone. Families in nearby Park View and Eldridge join US 61 just a few miles down the road.
A Dental Home Within Easy Reach of Long Grove
Long Grove is small, with 838 residents at the 2020 census, and it has grown since 2010, when it counted 808. Many new homes have gone up on all four sides of town since Alan Shepard Elementary opened, and roughly four in ten households include children. Younger students attend Alan Shepard, then move on to North Scott Junior High and North Scott High School in neighboring Eldridge.
The town's roots run deep. Alexander and James Brownlie arrived in 1838 after following the Mississippi to the mouth of the Wapsipinicon River and heading west. A stage road linking Davenport, DeWitt and Dubuque passed through, and when the railroad arrived in the late 1860s, the stop was first called Noel Station.
That mix of new families and long-settled households is exactly what a two-dentist practice is set up to serve. Children can come in for checkups, parents can catch up on their own care, and grandparents can talk through crowns or implants, all in the same office. Our 7:00 AM starts make it possible to finish a visit and still have most of the day ahead.
Health Notes for Long Grove Patients at Every Age
Kids in town may spend time outdoors, whether at the school playground or at nearby Scott County Park, the largest park in the county at 1,280 acres. Falls and bumps happen, and sometimes the result is a chipped front tooth. Small chips can often be repaired with cosmetic bonding, which reshapes the tooth with tooth-colored material.
At the same time, the community's median age sits in the mid-forties, and about one resident in five is 65 or older. For those patients, the conversation often turns to worn fillings, cracked teeth and missing teeth. Dental implants are a stable way to replace a lost tooth, and Dr. Matthew Anderson provides both the surgical and restorative phases of implant care.
Whatever your age, steady six-month visits are the simplest way to avoid surprises. They let us track small changes over time instead of reacting only when something hurts. For families with busy calendars, booking the next visit before you leave keeps the habit going.
The Alexander Brownlie House, also called the Sod House, is a good reminder of how long people have called this land home. Its first section dates to 1839, and it has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1976. We like the idea of care that lasts just as long, built one steady checkup at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Anderson Dental from Long Grove, and how do I get there?
It is 10 miles from Long Grove City Hall to our office, about a 14-minute drive. Take East Grove Road east to US 61, then follow US 61 south into Davenport and turn onto West 46th Street. Because the route is almost all highway, many people who need a dentist in Long Grove, IA find it quicker than they expect.
Do dental impressions still mean a tray full of putty?
In many cases, no. The office uses iTero digital impressions, which record your teeth with a scan instead of a tray of impression material. CEREC same-day crowns are designed from a digital impression too, so many crowns are made and placed in a single visit. For Long Grove patients, that can mean one less drive down US 61.
What can be done about a gap between front teeth?
Several options can close a small gap. Cosmetic bonding adds tooth-colored material to reshape the teeth, porcelain veneers cover the front surfaces, and Invisalign moves the teeth themselves with clear aligners. Which choice fits depends on the size of the gap and your bite, so an exam and a conversation about your goals come first.
Can a chipped tooth be fixed with bonding?
Often, yes. Cosmetic bonding uses tooth-colored material to rebuild minor chips and reshape the edge of a tooth. Larger breaks are usually restored with a crown instead, and CEREC same-day crowns can be finished in a single visit in many cases, which saves Long Grove families a second trip down the highway.
Who are the dentists at Anderson Dental?
The practice has two general dentists. Dr. Matthew Anderson graduated from the University of Iowa College of Dentistry in 1997 and focuses on comprehensive rehabilitation, implant care and sedation for anxious patients. Dr. Andy Brill, DDS, earned his degree there in 2022 and is trained in CEREC and Invisalign, so Long Grove families have two dentists under one roof.
