Convenient Access from Moline
Thanks to the I-74 Bridge, Anderson Dental is a 13-minute drive from Moline City Hall, even though the office sits across the state line in north-central Davenport. For anyone who wants a dentist in Moline, IL, without a long haul, our two-dentist practice offers emergency exams, CEREC crowns, restorative care and Invisalign, with the first appointments at 7:00 AM Monday through Thursday.
From City Hall at 619 16th Street, head to 6th Avenue (IL 92) and go west to the I-74 on-ramp. I-74 and US 6 cross the Mississippi together on the I-74 Bridge into Bettendorf. Take the US 6 exit onto Spruce Hills Drive, which becomes East Kimberly Road, and continue west about 2.2 miles. Turn right onto Brady Street and left onto East 46th Street to reach 141 E 46th St, Davenport, IA 52806, 7 miles from where you started.
The office sits just off the Brady Street and Welcome Way pair, about half a mile north of Kimberly Road. We also see patients from neighboring Rock Island and East Moline.
A Short Bridge Away for the Mill Town on the Bluff
The city's name comes from the French word moulin, meaning mill, and it was platted in 1843 under the working name "Rock Island Mills." John Deere moved his plow works here in 1848, the same year the town incorporated, and it became a city in 1872. Today it is the largest city in Rock Island County, with 42,985 residents at the 2020 census.
The city sits on a broad bluff between the Mississippi and Rock rivers, cut by ravines into natural neighborhoods. Interstate 74 runs through it to the river, and the twin arch spans of the I-74 Bridge, finished in 2020 and 2021, keep Iowa a short drive away. If crossing into Iowa is already part of your week, our office fits right into that pattern.
A visit can be paired with an errand on the Iowa side or tucked in before the workday. Instead of searching for a new practice every time life gets busy, you keep one dental home on a route you already know.
Keeping Smiles Healthy Between Bridge Crossings
Early appointments are the biggest convenience for commuters. The office opens at 7:00 AM Monday through Thursday, so a cleaning can be finished before many workdays begin.
Unexpected problems are the other half of the picture. A cracked molar or a lost filling rarely waits for a convenient day, and the practice offers same-day emergency exams, evaluation and diagnosis. Once the cause is clear, many damaged teeth can be restored with CEREC same-day crowns, finished in a single visit in many cases.
Students are a big part of the city too. Black Hawk College and Western Illinois University-Quad Cities, the only public four-year campus in the Quad Cities, both sit here, and the Moline-Coal Valley School District enrolls about 7,500 students. Whether it is a college student between classes or a high schooler before first period, the early start helps.
When several teeth are worn, broken or missing at once, fixing them one at a time can feel endless. Comprehensive rehabilitation looks at the whole mouth and builds a sequenced plan, and it is one of Dr. Anderson's main areas of focus. GALILEOS 3D imaging gives a detailed view of the teeth and jaw before complex work begins, so each step is planned rather than improvised.
Some patients want more than repairs. If chips, uneven edges or discoloration have built up over the years, our page on smile makeovers and personalized treatment planning shows how cosmetic and restorative work can be combined into one plan.
Life along the riverfront offers plenty to enjoy, from the four-mile Ben Butterworth Parkway to the aquatic center and ball diamonds at Riverside Park. Healthy teeth make all of it a little more comfortable.
For park schedules, city services and local news, the City of Moline website is the place to check. For your teeth, a single phone call to our office covers cleanings, repairs and everything in between.
Fast Repairs and Lasting Care When You Need a Dentist in Moline, IL
Emergency Dentistry
Pain, swelling or a broken tooth calls for a prompt look. We offer same-day emergency exams with a clear diagnosis and next steps. The interstate route keeps the trip short.
Same-Day Crowns
CEREC technology designs and mills a crown in the office. In many cases you leave with the final crown the same day. That means one bridge crossing instead of two.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings and crowns rebuild teeth damaged by decay or wear. We explain each option and its cost before treatment. Comprehensive rehabilitation is available for more complex cases.
Invisalign®
Clear aligners straighten teeth without brackets. They come out for meals and fit easily around work and school. Dr. Brill completed Invisalign training.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Anderson Dental from Moline, and how do I get there?
Our office is 7 miles from Moline City Hall, typically a 13-minute drive. You take 6th Avenue (IL 92) to I-74, cross the I-74 Bridge, then follow US 6 west along Spruce Hills Drive and Kimberly Road to Brady Street. Commuters who want a dentist in Moline, IL, find it an easy trip, although rush hour on the bridge can slow things down.
What are Anderson Dental's office hours?
The office is open Monday through Thursday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Those early starts let many Moline patients finish a cleaning before work, and the drive over the I-74 Bridge takes about 13 minutes from City Hall. Booking ahead is the easiest way to get the time slot that suits your schedule best.
Is Dr. Brill originally from the Moline area?
Yes. Dr. Andy Brill graduated from Moline High School in 2015, then studied at Creighton University and earned his DDS from the University of Iowa College of Dentistry in 2022. He is trained in CEREC and Invisalign, so patients from his hometown see a familiar local connection.
Can a dentist help with bad breath?
Yes. Most bad breath starts in the mouth, from bacteria on the tongue, between the teeth or around inflamed gums, and cavities or dry mouth can add to it. A cleaning and exam help find the cause, and the dentist can suggest changes to your daily routine. Lasting bad breath with no dental cause is worth raising with your physician.
Can a cracked tooth be fixed without a second trip across the river?
Often it can. With CEREC same-day crowns, the crown is designed, made and placed in a single visit in many cases, so there is no temporary crown and no return drive. The dentist confirms during the exam whether the tooth is a good candidate for a crown.
