Jesse McGuire D.D.S., Orthodontist

About Me

Dr. McGuire is originally from Ann Arbor, Michigan, but his parents relocated to Phoenix in 1988, before it became a sprawling metroplex. He attended Brophy College Prep and ventured out to Los Angeles for his undergraduate studies, which he completed at Loyola Marymount University. There he majored in biology and knew early on he would attend dental school.

After completing his bachelor’s program, he was accepted into Marquette University School of Dentistry, where he earned his DDS in 2007. He then went on to complete an orthodontics residency at Marquette in 2009. Before returning to the Phoenix Valley, he practiced in Dallas, Texas, for two years.

Outside of the office, Dr. McGuire loves interacting with his patients, and enjoys watching them grow up, finish school, get new jobs, and live their lives. Going through ups and downs with a patient reminds him that before they were patients, they were just people looking to fix a problem. And he feels lucky and honored to be able to provide a solution.
