Services
Dental Veneers
Porcelain veneers transform smiles by correcting discoloration, chips, and gaps. Our custom-designed restorations mimic natural tooth structure while providing durable, stain-resistant results. The minimally invasive process preserves tooth integrity while achieving aesthetic perfection through precise shaping and color matching.
Dental Implants
Implant-supported restorations offer permanent solutions for missing teeth. Using titanium posts integrated with jawbone tissue, we create stable foundations for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This treatment prevents bone loss while restoring natural chewing function and facial aesthetics through biocompatible materials.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
This multi-phase treatment addresses severe dental damage through coordinated restorative procedures. Combining crowns, veneers, implants, and orthodontics, we rebuild oral function and aesthetics while maintaining proper bite alignment. Each plan addresses individual needs from structural repair to cosmetic enhancement.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Custom oral devices reposition the jaw to maintain open airways during sleep. We provide non-invasive alternatives to CPAP machines for obstructive sleep apnea, improving breathing patterns and reducing associated health risks through personalized dental solutions.
Teeth Whitening
Professional-grade whitening systems deliver lasting results through custom trays and medical-grade bleaching agents. Our take-home kits provide gradual lightening while in-office treatments offer accelerated results, both formulated to minimize sensitivity and maintain enamel integrity for natural-looking brightness.

When I moved to California three years ago, I asked my daughter-in-law if she could recommend a dentist. I knew I needed a fair amount of work. 'Yes! John Gonzalez! He's the best.' My son came into the room, ''John Gonzalez? See him. He's the best dentist I've ever had.' Their teenager looked up, 'O I love Dr Gonzalez. He's amazing.' They're right. Dr. Gonzalez is a very talented professional. He has authentic empathy grounded in his goal of dental health for his patients.

Easy to say, 'dental health, ' but actually astonishingly complicated to achieve. Dr Gonzalez skillfully encourages patient-participation in the process, but importantly, masterfully, he does the bits that we simply cannot on our own. He has extraordinary diagnostic skill and superb restorative skill. An all 'round nice man, he is modest, kind, amusing, very gentle, and very very bright. He has the grace to commend good work (previous dentists' work; the patient's part at home). I've been as impressed both by his superb assistant Griselda and helpful receptionist Sarrah, as by the collegeal ways in which he supports their work. In all, they are an ace of a team.

I've used Dr. Gonzalez now for some 20 years. Although I travel a lot all over the country to lecture I always come back to see Dr. Gonzalez for any care yhat requires more than cleaning or a small filling especially any complex care like inlays and and Now because of my age dental caps. his technique is Spectacular Extreme attention to detail and very light hands. Most Importantly the dental work has stood up for years and every other dentist that i see for cleaning etc comments on the excellent work

Dr Gonzalez is talented as well as caring and a true artist. His assessment of dental needs is the very best. I travel quite a bit and have experienced other dentists who are not anywhere near his level of excellence. he is tops.

I wanted to share my five star experience with Dr. Gonzalez. I have been going to Dr. Gonzalez since 2000 or before, he has been consistently professional, accommodating and caring. There are no words to describe how wonderful my experience with Dr. Gonzalez and his staff has been. He has a deep desire to provide the best possible care. If you are looking for cosmetic work, he's trained with and is in his own right, the best you can find.

I had veneers and crowns done and the results are amazing! Dr. Gonzalez gave me the most beautiful top and bottom veneers. He also whitened my teeth. I was so impressed with the results! my teeth were shades lighter when I left! I have had other basic problems and he will always do what is right to correct it. If you are debating ANYTHING with your teeth, basic or complex, he is the only choice! He is a true professional. Dr. Gonzalez is a great cosmetic dentist.

My teeth are in great shape and if you want the best go see Dr. Gonzalez you won't regret it. I highly recommend you make an appointment with him and you will leave with a brighter, healthier and whiter smile. Karen Dix
