The Center for Cosmetic and Family Dentistry

Dr. David Gates, DDS, operates as a key figure within The Center for Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, a dental clinic located at 10410 S Eastern Ave Suite 200, Henderson, NV 89052. Dr. Gates is a highly accomplished general dentist who earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Marquette University in 1986. He has since dedicated over three decades to serving the dental needs of patients in both Las Vegas and Henderson, Nevada. Dr. Gates is particularly distinguished by his extensive expertise in cosmetic dentistry and advanced dental studies. He completed specialized training in veneers and cosmetics starting in 1988 and further honed his skills in occlusion (TMJ, jaw joint, and biting issues) at the Dawson Center for Advanced Dental Studies. A pioneer in the field, Dr. Gates was the first general dentist in Nevada to become certified in Invisalign orthodontic treatment in 2001. His proficiency led him to join the faculty of Align Technology in 2003, where he has since taught thousands of dentists nationally and internationally on introductory and advanced Invisalign courses. He has been voted Top Speaker at the Invisalign Summit multiple times. The clinic offers a comprehensive range of dental services, though the primary focus for Dr. Gates himself appears to be general and cosmetic dentistry, with a strong emphasis on Invisalign. Patient testimonials consistently highlight his gentle demeanor, professional competence, and the caring, efficient nature of his staff. Patients often commend the transformative results, citing increased confidence and improved smiles. Beyond his private practice, Dr. Gates has a strong commitment to community service, having traveled with "Smiles for Central America" to provide free dental care in Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. He is a family man, married for 35 years with five children and ten grandchildren. His personal interests include travel, magic, reading, swimming, and technology.
