The SmileScience Difference
One Practice for
Every Generation
Finding a practice that genuinely serves everyone -- from toddlers to grandparents -- under one roof is increasingly rare. Most families end up coordinating across a pediatric dentist, a general dentist, and a specialist. We have built SmileScience around a different model: one trusted practice, one set of records, one relationship that grows with you.
- Your entire family's dental history consolidated in one place
- Schedule multiple family members back-to-back on the same day
- Children grow up with the same trusted doctors -- consistency matters
- Consistent care philosophy and communication across all age groups
- Same-week appointments available for new patients
- Over 400 five-star reviews from Glendale and West Valley families
Dr. Dawson's Approach
Preventive Dentistry as a Philosophy, Not a Checkbox
Dr. Dawson is a general practitioner with an ICOI Fellowship in implant dentistry. His approach to family care is grounded in one conviction: the best dental treatment is the treatment you never need.
Find It Early, Fix It Small
A cavity caught at 1mm costs a fraction of what it costs at 5mm. A cracked cusp addressed early avoids a root canal. Preventive dentistry is not just cleaning -- it is vigilant monitoring and early intervention.
Informed Patients Make Better Decisions
We show patients their X-rays and intraoral camera images on screen in real time. When you can see what we see, you understand why we recommend what we recommend -- and you can make decisions based on facts, not trust-me.
Treatment Priority, Not Treatment Volume
We present treatment in order of clinical urgency: what needs attention now, what to address soon, and what to monitor. We do not recommend procedures that are not clinically indicated. You will never leave feeling like you were upsold.
Relationship Over Volume
Corporate dental chains rotate through doctors on assignment schedules. We have two doctors who are here permanently. If you have been a patient for three years, we remember your history, your concerns, and your goals without looking them up every time.
Pediatric Services
Services for Children
We make dentistry positive and stress-free for kids from their very first visit, building habits and confidence that last a lifetime.
First Dental Visit
The AAPD recommends a first visit by age one or when the first tooth erupts. We make early visits low-stress, exploratory, and positive so children build lasting confidence about dental care.
Cleanings & Exams
Six-month professional cleanings and exams monitor tooth development, check for early decay, and reinforce healthy brushing habits from an early age.
Dental Sealants
Protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth reduce cavity risk in molars by up to 80% -- a simple, painless preventive measure ideal for school-age children.
Fluoride Treatments
In-office fluoride application strengthens developing enamel and is particularly beneficial for children with elevated cavity risk or those drinking unfluoridated water.
Orthodontic Monitoring
We monitor jaw and tooth development to identify early orthodontic concerns. When the time is right, we offer Invisalign Teen in-office without a separate referral.
Sports Mouthguards
Custom-fitted mouthguards provide far superior protection compared to store-bought versions for children and teens in contact and collision sports.
Adult Services
Comprehensive Care for Adults
From routine cleanings to full-arch implant restorations, we handle the full spectrum of adult dental needs in a calm, modern environment at our Glendale office.
Preventive Care
Cleanings, comprehensive exams, digital X-rays, periodontal charting, and oral cancer screenings -- the foundation of oral health at every age. Dental exams and teeth cleaning.
Invisalign
Straighten teeth without metal braces at any adult age. Both Dr. Dawson and Dr. Turke are Invisalign providers with extensive clear aligner experience. Learn about Invisalign.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Veneers, bonding, whitening, and complete smile makeovers for patients who want to improve the appearance of their smile. Cosmetic dentistry options.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, and dental implants -- when teeth need repair or replacement, using modern materials that look and feel completely natural.

The Environment
A Dental Office That Does Not Feel Like One
The "Dental Spa" name is intentional. We know that for many families, particularly those with anxious patients, the environment itself is part of the reason they avoid care. Fluorescent lighting, cold waiting rooms, and the clinical sensory cues that trigger anxiety before you even sit down.
SmileScience is designed differently. Soft lighting, comfortable chairs, a calm atmosphere, and a team that is unhurried and genuinely welcoming. The goal is for every family member -- including the most anxious one -- to leave saying that was not as bad as I expected.
For patients who need more than an environment change, we offer multiple sedation options available at every appointment, including the first one.
Now Accepting New Patients in Glendale
We actively welcome new patients and new families. Same-week appointments are frequently available.
For Patients With Insurance
We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans. We verify your benefits before your appointment so you know your coverage in advance. Most plans cover two exams, two cleanings, and X-rays at 80 -- 100% per year.
Call us and we will confirm your specific coverage before you book.
For Patients Without Insurance
Our in-house dental membership plan covers two exams, two cleanings, and necessary X-rays per year -- plus discounts on all other services -- for a flat monthly or annual fee. No claims, no deductibles, no maximums.
Location: 20118 N 67th Ave, Suite 308, Glendale, AZ 85308
Easily accessible from Peoria, Surprise, and the West Valley. Free parking on-site.
Sedation Options for Anxious Patients
Dental anxiety is real and common. We offer multiple sedation levels so every family member can receive care comfortably -- even if they have avoided the dentist for years.
Nitrous Oxide
Mild, fast-acting relaxation through a nasal mask. Wears off within minutes. You can drive home. Available for children and adults.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Prescription medication taken before your appointment. You remain awake but deeply relaxed. A driver is required. OCS-certified dentists on staff.
IV Sedation
Deepest sedation level available. Administered by a board-certified dental anesthesiologist on-site. Ideal for significant anxiety or extensive treatment.
What Our Patients Say
4.9 (437 reviews)
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Smile Science Dental Spa, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and service provided by the entire team. Dr. Dawson and Dr. Turke are both incredibly skilled and made me feel completely at ease throughout my procedures. Their professionalism, combined with their gentle approach, made me feel comfortable and well-informed every step of the way. I was especially impressed that I was able to get a same-day crown(apparently their first ever!), which exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t believe how quick and seamless the process was. It really saved me time and made the experience even more convenient. Cindiray and Angeles, the dental assistants, were equally wonderful. They were not only friendly and attentive but also thorough in explaining everything and made sure I was relaxed during each phase of my visit. Lastly, a big thank you to Litzy at the front desk, who greeted me with a smile and helped with scheduling and any questions I had. She made the entire check-in process a breeze. From start to finish, my experience at Smile Science Dental Spa was exceptional. I'll be returning for sure. I highly, highly, highly recommend them for anyone looking for high-quality dental care.

Honestly I’ve never been so happy to go to the dentist. I came in (late due to Lyft) and was still taken care of and treated with care. Even without insurance (kicking in within the next month) prices for an extraction on my infected tooth were more than reasonable. I was able to get more than expected done in the same visit. Dr. Dawson and his team made me feel so comfortable and taken care of. Won’t go anywhere else.

Myself and my family had previously gone to Dr. Turk at another dental office that he worked at. He had relocated and we did not know where he had gone to until this week. Today I got in with Dr. Turk and he took the time to look at my x-rays carefully . I was having pain from a tooth and some other issues. The previous Dentist I went to that I saw just a few days earlier, he did not find any issues with my tooth which I had pain in. Dr. Turk identified infection and referred me to an endodontist. He is very gentle as a wonderful disposition and my self and my family are thrilled to be able to get back with him. The office is lovely, relaxing music, heat and massage chair.I have always been very nervous and some anxiety going to dentist as I have had bad reactions with the anesthesia. I am confident that Dr. Kirk will help me get through my next appointment just fine. “The staff are very kind and attentive. I am looking forward as I have quite a bit of work to be done, and I know I’m in good hands with Dr. Turk and his staff. Five stars!⭐️ Sherry

I recently moved to Arizona and had an issue with a tooth repair from 15 years back. Not knowing anyone here in my new home, I searched dentists close to me. I chose Smile Science much like pinning the tail on the donkey and my selection couldn't have been better! What a terrific staff! Dr. Turke was concerned the tooth would need to be extracted, but said he wanted to take a shot at saving it..and that's just what he did! After setting a temporary crown, I was on my way with an appointment to install the permanent crown in the following two weeks. That evening I received a call I've never received from a dentist. Dr. Turke had taken the time to follow up with me to make sure I wasn't in any discomfort..I was completely caught off guard by this kind of attention to detail and caring for my well being. The permanent crown is now in place, it fits and feels fantastic, the job and treatment are first class! Thank you, Dr. Turke and staff for taking in this stray and giving me a home dentist! I'd like to say that I'm just good at selecting blindly, but the truth is I am very lucky..and I'll take lucky over being good any day of the week! Thank you, again and Happiest of New Year's in 2026, Science Smile!!

What Our Patients Say
"Our whole family -- me, my husband, and our two kids -- all go to SmileScience. We book back-to-back appointments and it takes one afternoon. The kids actually look forward to their cleanings. That never happened at the last place we went."
Tara W., Glendale
Family dentistry -- whole family
"We switched from a corporate dental office after getting a different dentist at every appointment. SmileScience is the opposite. Dr. Turke has seen us for two years, remembers our history, and genuinely seems to care about our whole family's health. We would not go anywhere else."
Robert and Amy K., Peoria
Family dentistry -- switched from DSO
"We do not have dental insurance and honestly thought we could not afford to go regularly. SmileScience's membership plan makes it very manageable. The kids get their cleanings, we get our exams, and if something comes up we know the financing is there. Total game changer for our family."
Elena and Carlos M., Surprise
Family dentistry -- membership plan

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We see patients of all ages, including young children. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first dental visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth erupting. Early visits are low-stress and exploratory -- our goal is to build a positive association with dental care from the very beginning. We see kids alongside their parents in the same practice, which makes coordination much easier for families.
Yes, and it is one of the most common requests we accommodate. Back-to-back family scheduling lets you bring multiple family members in on a single trip rather than making separate appointments on different days. Call our front desk and we will work to coordinate the timing so everyone can be seen on the same visit.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child's first dental visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth erupting. Early visits establish comfort with dental care, allow us to monitor development from the start, and give parents guidance on care for primary teeth and fluoride needs.
We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans. We recommend calling ahead and we will verify your specific benefits before your first appointment. If you do not have insurance, we offer an in-house dental membership plan that covers preventive care for a flat annual or monthly fee. Financing options are also available for larger treatment plans.
Absolutely. We offer nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation with a board-certified dental anesthesiologist on-site. The calm environment itself -- designed to reduce sensory triggers -- helps many anxious patients. For patients or children with significant anxiety, sedation can be arranged for the very first visit. Just let us know when you schedule.
Corporate dental chains have high doctor turnover -- you may see a different provider at every visit. At SmileScience, Dr. Dawson and Dr. Turke are the permanent practitioners. When you have been a patient for several years, your doctor knows your history, your anxiety triggers, your aesthetic goals, and the work that has been done before. That continuity matters clinically and it matters for your experience as a patient. It is a fundamentally different model of care.
We monitor jaw and tooth development at every visit and flag early orthodontic concerns. When the time is right, we offer Invisalign Teen in-office -- meaning your child can receive orthodontic treatment with the same practice and doctors they already know and trust, without a separate referral to an orthodontic office.
Same-week appointments are frequently available for new patients. For non-urgent new patient exams, we typically schedule within one to two weeks. If you have a dental emergency or a child in pain, call us directly -- we prioritize urgent situations and will do our best to see you the same day.
We are located at 20118 N 67th Ave, Suite 308, Glendale, AZ 85308. We serve families throughout Glendale, Peoria, Surprise, and the greater West Valley. Free parking is available on-site.
