Associates in Dentistry

Our Story

Associates In Dentistry was founded in Canton, Illinois in 1972 and has grown into one of the region’s most trusted dental practices. The growth of our family dental centers has been thoughtful and guided by our commitment to serving you and your family. We added locations in Washington (1974), Bartonville (1978), and our Peoria office (1983). Today, we operate four community dental offices featuring 29 fully-equipped treatment rooms, including 15 dedicated spaces for preventive care—making us one of the largest independent, family-focused dental practices in the Peoria area.

Why Families Choose Us for Their Dental Care

We’ve created an environment where exceptional care and personal attention come first. As an independent practice owned by our dentists—not a corporation—we maintain the patient-centered values and personalized care that matter most to the families we serve.

Our practice has built a reputation over five decades for quality dentistry you can trust. We invest in the latest dental technology and treatment methods, giving you access to modern, comprehensive care across all your dental needs.

A Team Dedicated to Your Comfort and Care

When you visit our family dental centers, you’re cared for by a team of over 40 professionals who are committed to your wellbeing. Our experienced registered dental hygienists provide thorough preventive care, our skilled dental assistants ensure your comfort during treatment, and our dedicated administrative staff makes scheduling, billing, and insurance coordination as smooth as possible. Our dentists also consult with one another on complex cases, so you benefit from the collective expertise of multiple specialists under one roof.

A Legacy of Excellence—Caring for Families Like Yours

For more than 50 years, we’ve been committed to providing outstanding dental care to families throughout central Illinois. We’re here for you with clinical excellence, patient-centered care, and a dedication to building lasting relationships with our community.

Investing in Technology, Investing in Your Smile

We believe that exceptional dental care requires exceptional tools. That’s why we’ve made significant investments in cutting-edge technology that enhances your comfort, improves your results, and makes every visit more efficient.

A Seamless Digital Experience

We’ve streamlined your entire dental experience with digital systems that eliminate paperwork and reduce wait times. From the moment you schedule your appointment to completing your treatment, our digital workflow makes everything smoother and more convenient. Our advanced treatment planning system allows us to show you exactly what we’re recommending, answer your questions with visual clarity, and coordinate your care efficiently.

Same-Day Restorations When You Need Them

We’ve invested in two in-house milling units that allow us to create high-quality crowns and restorations right here in our office—often in a single visit. This means fewer appointments, less time away from work or family, and beautiful, durable results you can trust. Our wireless intraoral scanners capture precise digital impressions without the discomfort of traditional impression materials, giving you a more comfortable experience and better-fitting restorations.

Technology That Enhances Your Care

Every treatment room is equipped with intraoral cameras that let you see exactly what we see, helping you understand your oral health and make informed decisions about your care. We’ve also integrated laser technology into our practice, which means more comfortable procedures, faster healing, and expanded treatment options for many common dental concerns.
