About Gateway Smiles Dentistry and Orthodontics

Gateway Smiles Dentistry and Orthodontics operates on South Signal Butte Road in Mesa, Arizona. Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.

Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives. Treatment commonly runs one to three years, with a retainer worn afterward to hold the result.

Orthodontic treatment straightens teeth and corrects bite problems using braces, clear aligners, or similar appliances over a period that commonly runs from about a year to several years depending on the case. It is offered to both children, where early evaluation can catch developing issues, and adults at any age.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

What is the difference between an orthodontist and a general dentist doing braces?
An orthodontist has completed additional years of specialist training focused specifically on tooth movement and bite correction, beyond the general dental degree. Some general dentists also offer braces or aligners after extra training.
Can clear aligners fix any orthodontic problem?
They handle mild to moderate crowding and spacing well. Complex bite corrections and large tooth movements are still often better suited to fixed braces, which is something an assessment will clarify.
Do clear aligners hurt?
There is usually pressure and mild tenderness for a day or two each time you move to a new aligner in the series. That sensation is the teeth moving, and it typically eases as you get through each stage.

I’ve been going to this dental office for about a year now, and I can confidently say they deserve every bit of a 5-star rating. From the moment you walk in, the entire team is welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind. You can tell they’re not only highly educated but also truly care about their patients’ comfort and experience. A special shoutout to Maggie, the dental hygienist, she is an absolute gem! Her bedside manner is outstanding, and she always makes visits feel easy and stress-free. She takes the time to explain things clearly and makes sure you’re comfortable the entire time, which makes a huge difference. I recommend this office to everyone I know. I’m especially grateful they’re in-network for my insurance, but honestly, even if they weren’t, I would still choose to come here. That’s how great the care is. If you’re looking for a dental team that combines expertise with genuine compassion, this is the place to go.

I had an excellent experience at Gateway Smiles. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. The office was very clean and organized, and everything was explained clearly throughout my appointment. The dentist was professional, gentle, and took the time to answer all of my questions. I truly appreciated how caring and attentive everyone was. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for outstanding dental care!

Dr B & Melissa were a fantastic team with caring bedside manner. The facility has all the latest in technologies which is amazing for someone like me who traditionally has gone to “old-school” Dentists. Nothing wrong with “old-school” it’s just amazing to see how technology has advanced. I had 2 porcelain crowns replaced all in one day. No temporary crowns, no return 2 weeks later. All in all, a very pleasant experience which is saying a lot considering it was still a Dentist appointment.

I’m a mother of two so taking them in to the appointment with me is always stressful but all of the staff are so welcoming, understanding, and so good with the kids! Lindsay is my dental hygienist she is amazing at what she does! Her hands are like magic she cleans efficiently without it being painful at all. She is amazing with my children and always puts me at ease. My dentist is also very kind, and efficient. I highly recommend this office to anyone who is looking for a new dental office.

Everyone at Gateway Smiles Dental is very nice and friendly. I also appreciate that they are not pushy and strive to help you keep your original smile. Bella was very nice, Lindsay is my wonderful hygienist, and Dr. Ledin is helping me keep a healthy and beautiful smile. I am thankful I found them!
