My only concern is when I was fitted for the mouth guard I noticed on my way back to work that my front tooth is now chipped due to it fitting so tight and having a hard time getting it off while she worked on getting it just right. Now I'm not sure if I should wear it or wait until my next visit for you to file down the break. She did a great job though.

After the cleaning process, I questioned the procedure. The polishing was done BEFORE the hygenist did the tarter scraping. This does not seem like the right order.

Kristina did a great job and really helped to make me feel at ease. After not having been to the dentist in 20+ years and now paying the price for it, Dr G and the whole staff have made me feel comfortable and confident with the course of treatment. Kristina tackled the first big phase of my treatment with a deep cleaning. She really took the time to make sure I was comfortable and pain free through the whole process. I walked in dreading the treatment and walked out saying "Gee, that wasn't bad at all". I still have a lot of work to be done but I am confident that everyone at Gateway Smiles will make it as pleasent an experince as possible. Thanks!

I was so impressed at how quickly I could get a new crown. I was in much discomfort once the novacane wore off from almost 4 hours of my mouth being worked on. I understand this is all part of the process but I've never had that much dental care (4 hours) in my life. I'm hoping for a routine cleaning next time I return. And I will return. All the staff were very good at what they did.

Thank you for such a professional complete office team. I feel that each person is kind and considerate to the other team members. Whether you know it or not, people can sense when there is anger or bitterness in a business, and here at Gateway Smiles, I don't sense that. You seem to be kind and considerate of each other. The service is good, and even the girls leading people out of the office is a kind thing to do. Thank you very much

Good stuff. I was dreading the tooth extraction process but your team made me feel at ease and was able to reduce the level of anxiety before the surgery. Surgery was fast and recovery seems to be moving along. Thanks for getting those extra teeth out of my head!They needed to go a long time ago.

Great office and staff! Excellent and professional service from the Dentist, Doctor Oates. The office was sensitive to my time constraints and were able to get me in and taken care of very efficiently. I rarely recommend anyone or any company, but I am very comfortable recommending this dental doctor, team and office. They were also great about providing me with all my options and allowing me to select the best plan and care for my needs.

I had my family going to another dentist office for 2 years. We were very uncomfortable there and trying to make appointments was ridiculous. The people were rude and acted like they had no time for us - we were interrupting. Gateway Smiles never treated us like that. AND - I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that if you need more than a general exam, they will do it all in one visit!! I wound up having a cracked molar and an hour later I was walking out with a "new tooth"!! I highly reccomend Gateway Smiles!

I had not been to a dentist in a very long time because I hadn't had good experiences: long wait times, rude staff, lack of patience with questions, overall disregard for me as a human life form, etc. Even given the treatment I had to have, I was EXTREMELY impressed with not only the front office staff, but the dentist and hygienist as well. I barely sat down before my name was called. The pricing was less than I expected and they did everything they could to work within my budget. When it came to the actual treatment, I was informed of every process. I was very nervous about being there, which made me cold, so I was shivering quite a bit. They brought me a blanket! I really have to say that now I don't cringe at the thought of going to the dentist. I will be happy to refer Gateway Smiles to anyone who will listen! If I could suggest one area of improvement, it would be to provide neck pillows for longer procedures.

Can you enjoy going to the dentist? You can if you are greeted upon entering, have a very friendly and professional assistant to the dentist which helped the time pass nicely, and have a dentist (Dr. G) who answers all your questions and is very considerate of my pain and cost of treatment. Answer is "Yes". This is what I experienced at my last visit with Gateway Smiles.

My overall experience was very good. I was happy to see the technological advances your office has (same day crowns and digital xrays). I was very pleased with Dr. Oates - he has a very good chairside manner and was very patient with me. I was also happy that the office is willing to work with me on payments as dental work can be very expensive. The only negative thing I experienced was that the injection I received prior to getting my crown bruised my gums and has been very painful for over a week now. I was assured that this is a rare occurance and most likely happened because of the location in which the injection had to be given.
