Dr. Dawn Tilts was raised near Portland, OR, and was inspired to pursue a career in dentistry both by her positive experiences as a dental patient, as well as by her father, who worked as a dental practice consultant for many years. At the age of 18 Dr. Dawn moved to Tucson, AZ to attend the University of Arizona. After graduating with honors, with a degree in physiological sciences, she was accepted into the Creighton University School of Dentistry, where she met her husband, Dr. Brandon Tilts.
Since graduating from dental school, Dr. Dawn has stayed up to date on the latest dental techniques by attending numerous continuing education courses each year. She is a member of the American Dental Association, the Arizona Dental Association, and the Northern Arizona Dental Society.
In her free time, Dr. Dawn enjoys traveling with her family, skiing, and running.
