Education and understanding go hand-in-hand with the best dental treatment available.  Each and every one of our patients is encouraged to contact me for questions related to your dental questions either by email or phone.

Here are some common questions most patients ask:

What is the best way to whiten my teeth?

Since each mouth is unique, Dr. Gonzales needs to evaluate your teeth to recommend a specific method. If your teeth are cracked, chipped, or discolored, he may recommend restorative services, such as veneers or bonding. If you want to whiten your teeth, Dr. Gonzales may recommend a single-appointment whitening session or prescribe take-home teeth whitening trays.

I want my front teeth to look better, but I do not want to wear braces. What would you recommend?

Dr. Gonzales also offers many cosmetic services to straighten your teeth. Dr. Gonzales may recommend Invisalign®. Using a series of customized retainers, Invisalign moves your teeth into the desired position in a few months. If you would like to enhance the appearance of your smile, schedule an appointment with Dr. Gonzales. After listening to your goals and concerns, he can suggest the best way to help you straighten your smile.
