Meghan Smith, DDS

Dental care in Fargo’s south side doesn’t have to mean a long drive downtown. Just off 45th St S, near the Gateway Drive corridor, Meghan Smith, DDS offers general and family dentistry in a part of the city that’s growing but still feels like a tight-knit neighborhood. This stretch of Gateway Drive—lined with medical offices, a few cafés, and that one gas station with the surprisingly good coffee—is where you’ll find routine cleanings, fillings, and preventive care without the hassle of navigating the busier districts up north. It’s the kind of place where you might swing by after dropping the kids at Davies High or on your way home from the Red River Market if you’re planning ahead.

The office sits at 1338 Gateway Dr S #5, a low-key suite that blends into the professional but unpretentious vibe of the area. Need to book a checkup or ask about crowns and bridges? A quick call to (701) 232-1664 gets it done—no web forms or hold music sagas required. If you’re new to the area (or just perpetually bad with directions), the map helps, especially since the entrance is tucked slightly back from the main drag. The building shares a parking lot with a physical therapy clinic, which means you’ll probably spot at least one person limping toward their car—Fargo’s version of small-town charm.
