From the moment you walk into Town Square Dental & Orthodontics, you’ll notice the difference. There’s laughter in the halls, real conversations in the treatment rooms, and a team that genuinely enjoys what they do. We believe great dentistry starts with trust, comfort, and connection, not clinical jargon or rushed appointments.
Led by Dr. Karl Baker, the Smile Maker, our practice blends technical excellence with personality and heart. Dr. Baker is known for his easygoing nature, quick wit, and ability to put people at ease. He takes time to get to know his patients, listens carefully, and treats each person like family, because that’s how this practice was built.
We offer comprehensive dentistry and orthodontic care under one roof, with a focus on modern techniques, ongoing education, and thoughtful care planning. Whether you’re here for preventive care, Invisalign, implants, or something in between, you can expect skill, transparency, and a team that truly has your back.
Town Square Dental & Orthodontics proudly serves families throughout Gilbert and the surrounding communities. We welcome patients of all ages and stages of life, and we’d be honored to care for you.

Dr. Baker the Smile Maker
Dr. Karl Baker is known around the office as The Smile Maker, and not because it sounds catchy. He’s genuinely happy, relentlessly upbeat, and the kind of dentist who believes laughter belongs in the dental chair just as much as skill does.
He loves getting to know his patients. Expect jokes, spot-on impressions, and real conversation. Dentistry may be his profession, but connection is what drives him. Patients don’t feel rushed or talked at. They feel seen.
Dr. Baker has always had an artistic eye. Long before dentistry, he was drawn to design, balance, and detail. That same creative instinct shows up throughout the practice. If you take a walk around the office, you’ll notice his drawings on the walls. They’re not decoration. They’re part of who he is.
Family is everything to him. Dr. Baker is the proud father of five and a grandfather of two. Outside the office, his favorite thing to do is travel with his wife, exploring new places and cultures together. That love of family and life carries straight into how he treats his team and his patients.
Ask the staff, and they’ll tell you the same thing without hesitation. He’s not only an exceptional dentist, he’s the best boss they’ve ever had. Clinically, Dr. Baker is committed to staying current and sharp. He consistently invests in continuing education to keep pace with the latest techniques and technology. He places implants, is Invisalign certified, performs extractions, and yes, genuinely enjoys doing root canals.
At the end of the day, Dr. Baker believes dentistry should be personal, thoughtful, and even fun. And that belief shows up in every smile that walks out the door.
