About Premier Smiles Orthodontics
Dr. Dale Kates and Dr. Justina Anigbo are both described as patient and gentle, even with nervous kids getting braces or retainers.
Reviews often mention families bringing multiple generations through treatment, from young children getting braces to grandparents accompanying them, with retainers coming up more often than typical for the practice. Dr. Dale Kates is credited with years of steady, understanding care, while Dr. Justina Anigbo, now also treating patients alongside him, is described as patient and gentle even during sensitive adjustments. Many reviews note staff easing nervous patients before procedures, with some saying they relaxed enough to doze off during treatment.

Subject: Appreciation for Premier Smiles Services Dear Dr. Kates, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional orthodontic care that you have provided to my family over the years. Your expertise and dedication have made a significant impact on our lives. Having entrusted the orthodontic treatment of my three sons and my husband to you, it has always been a pleasure to receive care at Premier Smiles. Your professionalism and commitment to excellence are truly commendable. I am delighted to inform you that we recently had the pleasure of being serviced by Dr. Anigblo, and we are confident that she will be a valuable addition to the Premier Smiles family. Additionally, I would like to extend my gratitude to Maha for her outstanding professionalism and compassionate care during our recent visit. Her attention to detail and genuine concern for her patients did not go unnoticed. The quality of service we receive at Premier Smiles is unparalleled, which is why we are willing to travel from Florida to seek treatment at your esteemed practice. Your tried and true methods, combined with the welcoming atmosphere of your clinic, make every visit a positive experience. Thank you once again for your continued dedication to providing exceptional orthodontic care. We look forward to our future visits and the opportunity to benefit from the expertise of your entire team. Warm regards, Mrs. Boyd
I’ve been coming here for nearly a year, and every visit has been pleasant. The staff is professional but also friendly enough to make conversations feel natural. My appointments are usually right on time, and the orthodontist always takes a moment to explain how things are progressing. The changes in my smile have been worth every visit.
Ann was absolutely amazing with placing my daughter bottom braces. She was so patient and knowledgeable while treating her. She was very nice and my daughter said that she’s very gentle. I would love to request her for every service… THANK YOU ANN!!!
I can’t say enough great things about Premier Smiles in Orange, Ohio! My braces finally came off, and I am absolutely in love with my smile, my teeth look beautiful. The entire journey has been worth it, and the results speak for themselves. What truly makes this place special, though, is the incredible team. The whole office is filled with the most wonderful, kind, and supportive staff. From every appointment to the final reveal, they made me feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely excited about the process. If you’re considering orthodontic treatment, I highly recommend Premier Smiles. They don’t just transform smiles they make the experience amazing from start to finish!
