Convenient Access from Milan
Milan sits on the Rock River about 4 miles above its meeting with the Mississippi, and from the village it takes roughly 23 minutes to reach Anderson Dental in north-central Davenport. If you are comparing a dentist in Milan, IL with an established practice on the Iowa side, US 67 makes the decision simpler, because it handles most of the trip. Our two dentists see patients Monday through Thursday, with the first appointments at 7:00 AM.
Pick up US 67 on East 1st Street in the center of the village and follow it as it becomes West 1st Avenue, heading north for about 4.3 miles. Along the way you cross the Rock River into Rock Island, passing below the bluff of Black Hawk State Historic Site. In Rock Island, US 67 follows 15th Street north to the Centennial Bridge, which carries you over the Mississippi and onto Gaines Street in Davenport. Brady Street then runs north about 3.2 miles to East 46th Street and our office at 141 E 46th St, Davenport, IA 52806.
Plan on about 23 minutes for the 9.6-mile trip, a bit more when bridge and Brady Street traffic builds at rush hour. The office is just off the Brady Street and Welcome Way pair, half a mile north of Kimberly Road, with NorthPark Mall a quarter mile to the south-southwest. Open Anderson Dental on Google Maps before you leave for turn-by-turn guidance. Our neighbors in Rock Island and Moline also make the crossing from the Illinois side.
Long-Term Dental Care for Milan's Established Households
Milan has deep roots. George Camden and Franklin Vandruff platted it in 1837 under the speculative name Hampton, and wool-carding and clamshell button-making along Mill Creek earned it the name Camden Mills by 1841. Today the village is home to 5,097 people in Rock Island County, and most of the village lies in Rock Island-Milan School District 41.
The community also skews a little older, with a median age of 43.5 and roughly one resident in five aged 65 or older. That points toward a practical set of goals. Many people at that stage want to keep their natural teeth healthy as long as possible and replace any lost ones with something stable and comfortable.
Dr. Matthew Anderson's experience lines up with those goals. His focus includes comprehensive rehabilitation and both the surgical and restorative sides of implant care, and he belongs to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. With planning, placement and the final restoration handled in one office, a single team follows your case from the first scan to the finished tooth.
Keeping Milan Smiles Strong Through Every Decade
A missing back tooth can seem minor, but nearby teeth tend to drift and chewing shifts to the other side of the mouth. Replacing it sooner keeps those changes from adding up. Replacement options vary, and the right choice depends on your bone, gums and overall health.
Some patients want more than one fix after years of patchwork dental work. A smile makeover combines restorative and cosmetic steps into a single plan, so crowns, replacements and shade choices all work together. We map out the order of each step and the cost before anything starts.
An active lifestyle is part of the picture too. The Hennepin Canal Parkway, a 104.5-mile state park trail, runs right through the village, and Locks 30 through 32 make up its Milan section. A comfortable bite and a confident smile matter as much on a long walk along the canal as they do at the dinner table.
Regular checkups remain the foundation for every age. Older fillings and crowns can wear or leak at the edges without causing pain, and a routine exam is often the first place those changes show up. Catching them early usually means a simpler repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Anderson Dental from Milan, and how do I get there?
Anderson Dental is 9.6 miles from the Milan village administration building, about a 23-minute drive. US 67 takes you north across the Rock River, through Rock Island on 15th Street and over the Centennial Bridge, and Brady Street finishes the trip. For residents who want a dentist in Milan, IL with long Quad Cities roots, the cross-river drive is easy to repeat.
Do Milan drivers pay anything to use the Centennial Bridge?
No. The Centennial Bridge carries US 67 between Rock Island and Davenport, and its tolls ended in 2003. That means the only cost of the drive is your time, about 23 minutes from the village. Most of the route stays on US 67, so there are only a handful of turns to remember along the way.
What can be done about worn or discolored front teeth?
Several cosmetic treatments can help, depending on how much change you want. Zoom whitening brightens natural enamel, cosmetic bonding repairs small chips and reshapes uneven edges with tooth-colored material, and porcelain veneers cover the front of the teeth for a longer-lasting change. An exam comes first, so Milan patients learn which option suits them before committing to anything.
Can a Milan resident get a dental implant consultation without a fee?
Yes, as long as you are a new patient. Our free dental implant consultation lets Dr. Anderson review your health, look at the area where a tooth is missing and explain the options. GALILEOS 3D imaging is available for implant planning, and you leave with a clear picture of the steps and costs involved.
Is All-On-X something to discuss when replacing a full arch of teeth?
Yes, it is one of the options we review. All-On-X is an implant-supported approach to replacing a full arch, and Dr. Anderson's training covers both the surgical and restorative steps. We talk through the timeline, the cost and financing so patients from along the Rock River can decide at their own pace.
