Melissa K Bernhardt Orthodontist

Orthodontics in West Des Moines doesn’t have to mean a trek across town. Melissa K Bernhardt Orthodontist keeps things simple with a unit in the 245 50th St building—specifically Unit 120—right off the main drag. This isn’t the kind of place that leans into flashy signage or aggressive marketing; it’s just orthodontics, handled without the usual fanfare. The address puts it in a stretch of 50th Street that’s more functional than flashy, surrounded by the kind of businesses people actually need rather than the ones they window-shop. Braces, aligners, retainers—all the expected fixes are on the table here, though you won’t find a menu of services posted like some kind of dental diner special.

Questions about treatment timelines or payment options? The phone line, (515) 222-0010, is the direct route, no front-desk runaround. For anyone mapping it out, the directions confirm what locals already know: it’s just west of Jordan Creek, where the traffic thins out but the parking lots don’t. No need to overthink it—this is one of those places you drive past a dozen times before you actually need it.
