Google Reviewer

I had an outstanding experience at Gateway Dental Group. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome, comfortable, and cared for. The front desk was efficient and friendly, and the entire team maintained a clean, calming environment. Jen really made my dental experiences very smooth, and she took the time to explain the costs.

Gateway dental has a new and vibrant ownership. Doctor cares about their patient. Patients are treated with care and presented with all options. All the staff genuinely care about your well being. They are happy to be there and they sure make one feel comfortable. And of course they work with everyone to get whatever treatment is needed.

***Updated review as of 5/13/2025. I have come back to Gateway Dental because a certain employee is no longer there. The staff is very welcoming. Itahti and Jenn are very friendly and helpful. Claudia was wonderful and Dr. Ajayi is always kind and knowledgeable. She walked me through explaining the process to fix my broken tooth. I dislike going to the dentist but I’m happy to know that the staffing situation is better and the office is back to having amazing customer service. I look forward to continuing my dental care at Gateway Dental. After 4 years I am never coming back to this office. The reason is Stephanie. She has no business dealing with patients. She was rude from the moment I answered the phone to remind me of my appointment and asking for my new insurance information. I blew it off and had to end up rescheduling my appointment due to illness. But today Stephanie called me asking for my insurance information. She wouldn't let me get a word in and had the nerve to tell me not to raise my voice at her (which I wasn't). I asked to speak to Maria who is wonderful and helpful to only be told she doesn't work there anymore. So I decided that me and my family will no longer be going for dental care here If this place allows Stephanie to treat patients like this. And apparently from other reviews Stephanie is known for being rude and have zero customer service skills.

What is the Mouth-Body Connection® ?


The Mouth-Body Connection® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. That’s why it’s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile we’re also looking out for your entire self.
