Biography
Dr. Wilson was born in Santa Monica, California but moved to a small town in Western Nebraska before his first birthday. He grew up on a farm, where he developed his strong work ethic. He attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he was a varsity member of the Cornhusker’s football team. He was also a patient administration specialist in the United States Army Reserve branch of the 82nd field hospital. After Iraq invaded Kuwait in August of 1990, Dr. Wilson volunteered for active duty and was stationed with the 42nd field hospital on the Island Emirate of Bahrain. During the first Gulf War, he was placed in charge of the hospital’s quality assurance, medical evacuations, and triage. Upon returning from the Gulf War Theatre, he attended the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s College of Dentistry. As an undergraduate dental student, he participated in a table clinic competition where he presented the six published preparation designs for porcelain laminate veneers, and he introduced a seventh preparation design. He was the very first dental student in the medical center’s history to be allowed to provide porcelain laminate veneers for a patient. Dr. Wilson moved to the Valley of the Sun in 1995, where he has dedicated his professional career to providing patients with the absolute best that dentistry has to offer. He is continually upgrading himself with the latest techniques in state-of-the-art, personalized, and comfortable dental care. Dr. Wilson is also the founder of the Arizona Periodontal Laser Institute, where he trains other dentists and hygienists on the use of lasers and non-surgical methods of treating gum disease. He is an Arizona licensed general dentist who is highly skilled in all disciplines of dental care including cosmetic dentistry, oral surgery, root canal therapy, dentures, implants, crowns, bridges, and preventive dentistry. Dr. Wilson has been featured on Good Morning Arizona, Good Evening Arizona, The Wellness Hour, ABC15, FOX10, The Arizona Republic, and Today’s Arizona Woman. He has been recognized locally, nationally and internationally for his excellence in dentistry.

When I noticed some swelling and bleeding around my gums I knew it wasn't normal. My anxiety has always caused me to be very apprehensive about going to the dentist and I would avoid it unless I was in pain. I saw a commercial for TLC Gums/Dr. Wilson and thought free consultations? Sounds great considering I do not have dental insurance. Regardless of my anxiety I knew I needed to find out what was going on because I had never had bleeding or swelling of my gums. I called and spoke with Robert, whom was both very professional and most importantly, non-judgmental. When I met with Dr. Wilson he was very educational about periodontal "disease" and very confident in the PerioTrays. He also recommended the Hydro Floss (think WaterPik on steroids) which is amazing! Mariyana is such a sweetheart! She went over the cleaning process and financial information so the plan of action was easily understood. Michele, his assistant, was absolutely lovely! She explained everything that I should expect and always made sure I was comfortable during my deep cleaning. Bottom line is I immediately felt like I was at home from the first visit. It isn't called TLC Gums for Nothing! I would highly recommend Dr. Wilson and his staff to anyone I know that is in need of honest, professional, and expert dental care.
