Best Dentist in town. JR and his staff are amazing. I am moving out of state and I will make sure that I have a trip to Dallas every 6 mo to make sure that I keep JR as my dentist. You will not find a better more dedicated, smarter, dentist that isn't going to try and suggest unnecessary treatments. I have been seeing JR for over 10 years, the dentist I saw before JR said I needed gum grafting, JR said I was fine, we have been watching the trouble area for 10 years, it hasn't gotten any worse, and I never had to have a painful gum graft. To me that is the testament of his dedication to his patients.

Best dentist practice in the DFW! Dr. Gonzalez and his team make you feel right at home the minute you walk through the door. Your appointment time is your time and they never make you wait. They are super organized and very thorough! The staff are genuine and kind and always have smiles on their faces. I moved to Austin, yet I still try to schedule my appointments for when I'm back in town. I would highly recommend Defining Smiles - they do not disappoint!

I have been using JR Gonzales, DDS and his staff for ten years, possibly more. I drive there from far East Dallas. This is the best dentist and staff I've ever had. Everyone greets you with a smile. Cheryl, hygienist, taught me how to floss better, since I had bleeding gums. I have not had bleeding gums since. Also, there is no pain!

I have been seeing Dr. Gonzalez since he took over the practice from Dr. Goad. Couldn't be happier with him and his entire staff. He is an extremely knowledgeable dentist and has an outstanding staff. Cannot recommend enough.

Let me tell you of my experience I had with Dr Gonzalez. I hate the dentist and never look forward to my appointments. However, when I switched to Dr Gonzalez, he treated me like a king. Insurance paperwork was super easy. When I had to get my gums numbed, he used this cheek technique that made it difficult for me to even pay attention to the pain.

It was 100% painless and I loved it. Which is weird for anyone to say, but it's true. This guy knows how to take care of you. My dental hygienist was Cheryl and she's just as good as Dr Gonzalez! Hands down best dentist and hygienist team in all of Dallas, dare I say.all of Texas? He's a top runner if they have those types of competitions. Bottom line, you won't regret giving him your business. He treats you like family and you'll always walk away smiling.

Best dental experience, ever! I was able to come in as a result of a last-minute cancellation and am SO happy it all worked out. The office is clean, inviting, and they have a ton of great magazines to read while you wait. Cheryl was my hygienist and she did a phenomenal job. She is very sweet, knowledgeable, and made me feel very welcome as a new patient. Dr. Gonzalez is personable, explains everything clearly, and is happy to answer any and all questions that may arise. I was so impressed with my overall experience; I'm looking forward to my next cleaning!

Dr Gonzales is the best in town. He is a perfectionist and his work is perfection. He went to the best Dental School and did a fellowship in ascetic dentistry but more importantly he explains things, he's friendly, and actually cares about his patients. His office is a little tough to find but well worth the hunt.

I saw Dr. Gonzalez for a cracked molar and was very impressed by his knowledge, skill, personality and great staff. I was seen one day after calling and Dr. Gonzalez took a lot of time to explain all of the options for dealing with the damage. Once the decisions were made, he gave me the total cost as well as the insurance coverage amount. I really appreciate his knowledge and dedication to making sure that I got all of the information I need. I'll have a couple of additional appointments to get the work done and while I can hardly say that I'm looking forward to the process, I certainly feel that I'll receive the best possible care for the problem.

Saw me as a new patient ASAP with a loose crown. He is a friend of friends and they highly recommended him. Easy, pleasant and fair was my impression. I am going in next week to make him my new dentist.

I loved my old dentist here in Dallas but had to move because he was too far from work. My friend recommended Dr. Gonzales and.wow. He's got the most hi-tech office I've ever seen. I got a digital Xray or my teeth, he took digital pictures, and scraped my teeth with a sonic blaster thingy. No more metal tools that poke you! Best of all, he shows you your teeth and your xray on a LCD monitor next to your chair and shows you what he's seeing.

He doesn't do any work without taking a before picture and walking you through the process! At the end of the appointment, I got to take all the pictures home to put on my fridge! Friendly office, terrific service, and super close to work. If you're looking for a dentist and you live in Irving or Carrollton, make a trip to Dr. Gonzales and tell them you found him on Yelp!
