Dr. Daniel Gabriel Revitalizes Orthodontics in The Dalles

Dr. Daniel Gabriel has established a significant presence in The Dalles, Oregon, by opening Gabriel Orthodontics four years ago. After a distinguished career spanning 25 years in the U.S. Air Force, he decided to settle in the Gorge region, taking over a practice with a legacy of 40 years as Bickler Orthodontics. Located at 1625 E. 12th St., the clinic continues to serve the local community with a focus on patient-centered care.

The practice is dedicated to treating patients of all ages, emphasizing the importance of early orthodontic evaluations. Dr. Gabriel recommends that children receive their first orthodontic exam around the age of seven. This proactive approach helps ensure that all permanent teeth are developing correctly. In addition to traditional braces, the clinic offers clear aligner trays and treatments for patients experiencing TMJ issues or those who may require jaw surgery as part of their orthodontic care.

“We are privileged in getting to know our patients and families throughout the course of orthodontic treatment,” Dr. Gabriel stated. He noted the unique nature of long-term relationships in orthodontics, highlighting that some current patients are the grandchildren of those who were treated at the practice in its earlier days.

Commitment to Patient Experience

Dr. Gabriel and his team strive to create a welcoming environment for everyone who visits the practice. “Our amazing staff creates a fun, compassionate atmosphere for our patients where everyone is treated with dignity and respect,” he said. The team focuses on educating patients about their orthodontic issues and actively involves them in developing treatment plans tailored to their individual needs.

Transforming smiles is a rewarding aspect of Dr. Gabriel’s work. He enjoys sharing before-and-after photos with patients on the day their braces are removed, celebrating the significant impact such transformations can have on individuals’ lives.

A Community Connection

Beyond his professional commitments, Dr. Gabriel appreciates the community and lifestyle that the Gorge offers. He values the accessibility to a variety of outdoor activities without the challenges of large crowds or heavy traffic. “The natural beauty of the Gorge and all the outdoor activities to get involved with makes this area very unique in the United States,” he remarked.

Dr. Gabriel finds the small-town atmosphere and friendly, genuine people in the region to be particularly appealing, making The Dalles an ideal place for both living and working.
