SAME-DAY EMERGENCY CARE · MOST INSURANCES IN-NETWORK
If you're nervous, read this first.
Many people who come to Glisten Dental Glendale aren't here over one bad filling — military families moved mid-treatment, Sun City patients told for years they needed more than they did, others who never felt the dentist across the chair actually cared. Here is what Dr. Dawood says to a nervous patient in the first minute, word for word, because nothing we'd write for her beats it:
"I know you are nervous. It is normal to feel that way. No need to worry. Take some long deep breaths. I'll take care of you. We are not going to start anything until you are super comfortable and you don't feel a thing. Any time you need a break, just raise your hand and we can take a break. I like breaks too. So I don't mind breaks. We will go at your pace. We are in no rush."
Dr. Revan Dawood · to a nervous patient, in the first minute
The question we're asked more than any other is "Does it hurt?" So here is the straight answer, on the page, so you don't have to work up the nerve to call and ask: nothing starts until you are completely numb and comfortable, and we test the numbness first — before any treatment begins — so "numb" isn't a guess. If you feel anything, we stop. That's not a slogan; it's the rule the whole team works by, the same in this chair as in any Glisten chair.
Dentistry, elevated.
Dr. Revan Dawood founded Glisten Dental to build something the Arizona dental market was missing: a practice where quality care meets honest pricing, and where every patient gets the time and explanation they deserve. No assembly-line cleanings. No surprise bills. No pushing treatments patients don't need.
Today, Glisten Dental operates three locations across the Valley — Mesa, Gilbert, and Glendale. Each staffed with general dentists who share Dr. Dawood's philosophy.
Dr. Revan Dawood, DMD
Every smile deserves individual attention and honest care — without judgment and without the hard sell.
Dr. Dawood earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine at Midwestern University's College of Dental Medicine in Glendale, AZ. She is certified in Invisalign clear aligner therapy, dental implant placement and restoration, smile design, and minimal/moderate sedation. Originally from Detroit, she moved to Arizona in 2008 and founded Glisten Dental to build a practice that treats dentistry like a relationship, not a transaction.
Every service, under one roof.
Preventive, cosmetic, restorative, implants, emergency, orthodontics — all in-house. One relationship. One treatment plan. One set of fees.
A dental visit that feels nothing like a dental visit.
We've heard every variation of "I actually liked my dentist appointment" a practice can hear. It's not magic — it's six specific decisions we make differently.
Founder-led care
Dr. Dawood personally oversees clinical standards at all three locations. Every treatment plan is reviewed. Every complex case gets her eyes.
Transparent pricing
Written estimates before any treatment begins. What insurance covers, what you owe, and why. No surprises at checkout.
Same-day availability
Call before noon with a real problem and we'll find a slot that day. Dentistry shouldn't make you wait three weeks while you suffer.
Actual time to talk
Your dentist sits down, walks through what they see, explains options, and answers every question — even the ones you feel silly asking.
Modern, comfortable office
Digital X-rays, 3D iTero scanners, same-day crowns where appropriate, and IV/oral sedation for patients who want to sleep through procedures.
Financing made real
CareCredit, in-house 0% payment plans, and our Glisten membership plan for uninsured patients. Cost shouldn't be why you postpone care.
The $89 new-patient exam.
The $89 new-patient exam is a real, comprehensive first visit — not a loss leader. It includes digital X-rays, a thorough exam with Dr. Dawood or an associate, a professional cleaning, and a written treatment plan with zero pressure. Plan on 60–75 minutes.
In-network with most major PPOs.
We accept and file insurance directly — Delta Dental of Arizona, Cigna, Aetna, BCBS of AZ, UnitedHealthcare, MetLife, Humana, Guardian, Ameritas, Principal, and more. Don't see your plan? Most PPOs still reimburse at rates that barely differ from in-network.
We also have an in-house specialist who helps patients sort through Medicare and Medicare Advantage dental options — and talking to him is free. For military families that means TRICARE and FEDVIP dental; if PCS orders come down mid-treatment, we document where you are, what's done, what's next, and what a receiving provider needs — so the work travels with you instead of restarting.
No insurance? Ask about our Glisten Dental membership plan.
No number without an explanation behind it.
"I always walk through it line by line with them. I never just hand someone a number and walk away. We pull up their insurance benefits together, I show them exactly what's covered, what's not, and what their out-of-pocket looks like before we ever schedule anything. No surprises. If the treatment cost feels out of reach, we figure out a way together."
Dr. Revan Dawood · how pricing actually works here
For Glendale that means reading your TRICARE or FEDVIP dental benefit with you before anything is scheduled — including how an annual or lifetime maximum affects a longer plan — and being honest with a Sun City patient about whether a treatment is worth doing now or can wait. You get a written estimate before treatment, every time. Financing is available, and we'll tell you honestly when the cheaper option is the right one — including when the honest answer is "you don't need this yet."
Real patients. Real results.
