TLC For Gums: Your Trusted Dentist in Phoenix, AZ

Comprehensive Dental Care with a Focus on Patient Education

At TLC For Gums, we believe everyone deserves a healthy smile they can be proud of. Led by Dr. Gordon Wilson, our practice combines professional expertise with a genuine commitment to patient comfort. We’ve built our reputation as one of Phoenix’s best dental practices by providing exceptional care at affordable rates for patients of all ages.

From Simple Treatments to Complex Full Mouth Restorations, We Can Help

Our office is unique because we are a general dentistry practice that offers services that most general dentists have not undergone training or certification to provide. Dr. Wilson has spent countless hours during his 30+ years in practice learning advanced techniques and incorporating the latest technologies into his treatment plans, to offer patients the newest and best in dental care. He is proud to offer the following services:

  • Composite fillings
  • Crowns and bridges
  • Dentures
  • Emergency cases
  • Occlusal adjustment
  • Periodontal maintenance
  • Preventative dentistry/oral cancer screenings
  • Root canals
  • Scaling and root planing
  • Snoring and sleep apnea
  • Teeth grinding (Bruxism)
  • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder

A Dental Professional You Can Trust and Rely On

Because Dr. Wilson is capable of providing more involved treatments that go beyond just general dentistry, choosing to partner with him for your dental care means you will not need to be referred out for many treatments. He can provide the same treatment right here in our office, with no referral needed. This makes it simple, easy and convenient for you to get the dental care you need from a dentist that already knows you and your smile.

Affordable Family and General Dental Services

We understand that dental cost concerns often prevent people from seeking necessary treatment. That’s why we’ve structured our practice to provide quality care at reasonable prices. Whether you have dental insurance or no insurance, we offer flexible payment options to ensure you receive the treatment you need.

Our patients consistently mention our transparent pricing in their positive reviews, appreciating that we discuss all costs upfront before beginning any procedure.

A Comfortable Dental Experience

Dental anxiety is real, and we take it seriously. Our office is designed to create a relaxing environment from the moment you walk through our doors. Dr. Wilson and our team take the time to:

  • Explain procedures thoroughly before beginning
  • Answer all your questions patiently
  • Offer comfort amenities during treatment
  • Provide sedation options for those with severe anxiety

Many of our new patients come to us through referrals, with reviews often highlighting how we transformed their dental experience from one of anxiety to one of comfort.

Dental Care FAQ

How often should I visit the dentist?

Most patients benefit from check-ups every six months, though some conditions may require more frequent visits.

Will my dental work be painful?

At TLC For Gums, patient comfort is our priority. With modern techniques and sedation options, most patients report minimal or no discomfort.

How can I maintain my dental health between visits?

Dr. Wilson provides personalized advice for each patient, generally recommending twice-daily brushing, daily use of the Hydrofloss® and Perio Trays®, and a balanced diet low in sugary foods. 

What if I haven't been to a dentist in years?

We welcome patients regardless of their dental history and pride ourselves on a judgment-free approach. Many of our best reviews come from patients who returned to dental care after long absences.
