Services
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. As with any professional, finding a good orthodontist is essential to ensuring a desirable experience and results. Guides permanent teeth into more favorable positions, resulting in a more attractive smile.
We are the dentist's choice in Utah. Many dentists and dental professionals refer their patients and family members to our office for orthodontic care. We have treated and continue to treat them and their families because they trust the care and result they will receive from McDonough Orthodontics.
At McDonough Orthodontics we stand behind our work and we are committed to being your orthodontist for life. We want you to always be proud of your smile. That's why we offer the McDonough Orthodontics Lifetime Smile Guarantee. If for any reason you aren't satisfied with your orthodontist services, even if your teeth have shifted due to poor retainer wear, we will retreat your case at just the cost of braces or Invisalign, your choice.
You may have noticed that Dr. David McDonough specializes in "Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics." While most people have heard of orthodontics, many are confused by the "dentofacial orthopedics" part of the title. We can explain! Every orthodontist starts out in dental school. Upon completion of dental school, some graduates immediately go into practice as dentists.
Taking good care of your braces and teeth will keep your treatment time to a minimum and keep you healthy. Here are some pieces of advice from our doctors that will make your time with braces more enjoyable. In your first week of wearing braces, you will learn some new habits that will become second-nature as time goes by.

The individuals that make this office run are exceptional, at every point of contact! Truly one of a kind. The team members at the front desk are as witty and helpful as the members working in the back! Julie worked with me during the assessment, she made me feel like I was hanging out with a long time friend. Her ability to connect with the client is no doubt an asset to the team. Dr. Dave was careful to not just learn my name but also my wife and son’s names who weren’t even there (which he remembered at my next visit). As a practitioner he immediately recognized and addressed some of the

I have had 3 of my 5 kids go through braces with McDonough and they are perfectionists with my kids teeth. They promise premium service and that is definitely what I got.

Our first appointment with Dr McDonough and staff exceeded my expectations, truly! My son has special needs and is sensorially sensitive. Juli had a wonderful way of connecting with us and knowing how to make Jack feel at ease. The evaluation was thorough and the recommendations were conservative and thoughtful to Jack's needs. I really was so impressed with the professionalism and caring attention that was given during our visit. Much appreciation Dr McDonough and team!

Great Staff, but did not let us know we would need to get braces a second time, also telling not to wear the bottom retainer (after we got the braces off) and having those teeth shift massively shortly after. Once again, great staff, enthusiastic, but didn't inform us about everything.

Took wife here for consultation. As i waited in waiting room the staff was great to customers. Creating enthusiastically and personal. Very different environment than when i got my braces years ago at another location. Dare you to NOT take a complimentary cookie on the way out.

When it came time for my 12 year old to get braces, we sure did our homework. Boy are we stoked that we found McDonough Orthodontics! Dr. Dave and his extremely talented staff are the best! My anxious boy was put to ease after just minutes of being there! They take the time to go over everything! Never rushed, but also never waiting long. My boys smile is sure getting gorgeous! His confidence is coming out! He actually looks forward to going! He loves talking with Dr. Dave and his friendly staff! Thank you for taking care of my boy as if he was your own!

This office is by far my favorite office to go to in the world! I can't say enough about the staff and Dr. Dave. The office is always so clean, friendly and inviting. Dr. Dave never makes me feel like he is rushing through my appointment. Also, scheduling here is a breeze!! Every time I have an issue or need to get in they always find a spot for me and quickly! The girls that work here are always smiling and keep you very comfortable. Thank you to everyone that works here, you guys are amazing!!!

I'm an adult transfer patient from Montana.
After visiting with two other orthodontists in the area I confidently chose McDonough Orthodontics to finish out my care.
Dr. McDonough and staff have all been very kind and friendly.
They offer competitive pricing, a clean office, knowledgeable + well-trained assistants, and every single person working there is seriously so nice!
I'm looking forward to finishing out the next 9-12 months having Dr. Dave and staff ensure my perfectly straight teeth become a reality.
Also, don't forget to grab a cookie on the way out!

McDonough Orthodontics is the best! We had a great experience from start to finish. The whole staff is friendly and made the process really easy for my kids who are nervous about any kind of dental work. They have fun incentives and always a warm cookie after each appointment. I highly recommend them.

The area is extremely clean, the Dr's are so nice and the staff is wonderful. I'm so glad this is where I chose to get my braces. I would definitely recommend. My kids will be coming here when they get their braces as well.

If you are looking to have your teeth straightened or any kind of orthodontic work done, I highly, highly recommend going here. The father did my braces when I was a kid, got them on in 3rd grade until 7th grade and I had the most positive experience.

I came back just recently to have some bonded retainers put in and worked with his son. They are seriously the two nicest men you'll ever meet and there staff could not be more adorable. They made it very convenient for me to pay for things and I left with an even more beautiful straight white smile.

I dare you to not have a good experience
