Sedation & Implant Dentistry

Dr Gonzales and Dr Tran are as good as it gets! I would recommend this office to anyone that’s looking for a dentist. My husband was having horrible pain in his teeth and needed an appointment ASAP, I called and spoke to a wonderful gentleman who added us for a Saturday appt, my husband needed tooth extractions and it was done the same day and my hubby was feeling well enough that night to attend a concert. This has now become the spot for all my family, and i will keep spreading the word, the Dr’s and staff treat you with kindness and warmth and billing wise everything is honest, unlike a lot of dental offices I’ve been to. Thank you Dr Gonzales and staff for providing such wonderful and amazing care, I’m no longer scared of dental work!

WOW!!!
Let me start off by saying I dove up from San Diego to Irvine to see Dr. Gonzales. Almost 1 hour and I don’t even care. More than worth it!
I’m terrified of dentists. As I image a lot of people are. But I came here to get 2 wisdom teeth pulled — under sedation of course. I couldn’t be happier with my overall experience and result!
I heard of Dr. Gonzales from my father and thank god I did. I called on a Thursday morning (granted he was expecting my call) and I was able to come in for a consult hours later. And got my wisdom teeth pulled the very next day! I can’t say this will always be the case and that’s understandable. But maybe I’m wrong, maybe they really do have this ability to get you in so quickly! Either way, this office is more than worth it.
The chairs are comfy, the environment is super relaxing. Everyone is extremely friendly and laid back.
I’m thoroughly impressed with my sedation experience too (my first ever)! I fell softly asleep without even realizing it and woke up like nothing had happened. It hasn’t even been a full 24 hrs and I’m hardly in any pain, if any at all. I had another wisdom tooth taken out at my previous dentist and this experience was 100 times better.
Thank you SOOOO much to Dr. Gonzales and his entire team. I can’t even begin to tell you how impressed I am! I can’t wait to tell everyone I know.

Had an orthotic done for TMJ and couldn’t be any happier. Both Drs were nice and informative. I hate shopping for dentist and I think I’ve found the one.

Thank you for helping me when nobody else would. I had the worst TMJ, Dr. Gonzales suggested making an oral appliance. My oral orthotic appliance is now something I can’t be without. My headaches have subsided. My over bite is adjusting, and I’m not grinding as much as I used to.
I had 3 terrible accidents in 2012, nearly died 3 times… Two head on car accidents, and while on a film set, I was electrocuted for 15 mins, while acting.
I was grinding my teeth so much my fillings were coming out. I have a bulge in my neck and 3 pinched nerves in my spine.
You wouldn’t think a dentist could help, but Dr. Gonzales specializes with TMJ patients.
It’s amazing that one little oral appliance could prevent so much nerve pain… And also aides my sleep apnea.
Thank you so much for helping me.

Dr. Gonzalez is the best! I have been going to him for years. His staff is awesome too! I definitely recommend this place to everyone!

I had very high hopes after reading the reviews and I am highly disappointed. This Dr. Gonzales was in my book not personable I felt he certainly didn’t make me feel comfortable and/​or on the first consultation, I expected so much more! I had pre filled out the paper work And yet still had to wait a long time even more disappointing was this mans demeanor. I was scared and he didn’t seem to have a clue! Maybe he’s too old heck I don’t know, maybe he has too many patients whatever didn’t live up to all the reviews that’s for sure. I had one consultation and had X-​rays done or whatever they call them… all he told me it doesn’t look good — after all that waiting I was sure I’d be talking to someone who seemed to care, Not. Anyway when I got dons they tried to charge me more at front desk until his dental asst said oh we didn’t do that procedure! Sheesh — then the drama really unfolded over the next month! Lack of response, even after numerous calls to their office — making the experience even worse I was already anxiety filled! Then when they finally did get back to me, they wanted me to come back in! Ridiculous! Because of them I had to switch dental offices and emphatically say stay away from this place — very disappointing and unprofessional not too mention the stress they caused me — I never write reviews but I’d hate to have anyone else have to go thru what I did. Just because it looks nice and thus Dr has good reviews as they say you’re only good as your last review! Go somewhere else and avoid this place. Why do I have to put a star to post! No stars for them!!!

I have been going to Dr. Gonzales for years. He is a very good dentist. He is very knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable. He is has a lot of state of the art equipment so this makes visits to the dentist easy.

Dr Gonzalez is by far the BEST dentist that I’ve ever been to. Every visit has been a very pleasant experience. I have never once felt any pain in Dr. Gonzalez’s care. He has given me the most amazing smile. I highly recommend giving him a try!

I haven’t been there but got the worst service possible over the phone. the receptionist was very rude and condescending. I hope the Dr. will read this review as she is the wrong person for the job. Her communication was not clear and She hung up on me. When I called back she denied that she hung up on me. She put me on hold several times too. VERY RUDE!

Absolute worst medical experience of my life… I walked out twice!!!
I needed a root canal and my HMO said that I have to have an «in network» general dentist call it in to an endodontist. so I went here just for that and they tried very hard to up sell me so i walked out, however they still set the appointment for me with the endodontist so i was willing to give this place another shot
.
I took the day off work for my root canal and when it was time to start heading over they called and said that this sedation dentistry had dropped the ball & never confirmed my HMO, so I lost allot of money by taking the day off for no reason & my infection was getting worse.
After several long phone calls and lots of follow up I finally had everything confirmed and ready to go. I took another day off work to get the root canal done & planned to quickly rush over to sedation dentistry where I would be getting my crown.
long story short, they tried charging me for the top of the line stuff ($ 640) but were only planning to give me the middle quality crown!!! but the worst part is as i was getting upset over the immature, used car sale tactics and general deceitfulness of this place, the receptionist walks in like the lady from the price is right and offers me the Zirconia package for even more money. needless to say I was extremely pissed off, left in a heated rage for the second time & still have to deal with this damn tooth!!!
**the main dentist is Dr. Gonzales whom I have not met personally because he was in Vegas at the time of my visit so i cannot comment on his professionalism but i can say from the general experience that the rest of his office including Dr. Lopez gave me I very much doubt he runs a very honorable office.

Best dentist ever… I felt no pain… For the first time in my life I look forward to go to the dentist… Dr. Sanchez was really attentive in making sure my teeth gave me the perfect smile!

Steer clear of this place! What a waste of 45 minutes of my life! After arranging to be seen as a new patient, giving them all of my information over the phone, downloading and filling out the forms ahead of time, then calling the day before to make sure they had everything, they still had me sitting there for 45 minutes before I finally walked out! I figured a place this disorganized has probably not got their act together in any way shape or form. In this day and age, that’s totally unacceptable. I should have known something was up when you open the office door to find mariachi music blarring from the receptionist computer and her mañana attitude just added insult to injury. No bueno! :(

Dr. Gonzales has been my dentist for many years. He has a office in Vegas and i would travel back and forth, YES just to see him!!! He told me, he recently opened up and new office in Irvine, a lot closer for me. He is very gentle, patient, and really wants to know what the root of the problem is, in terms of your dental health and beyond that. I went in to the office for the first time and WOW, it is very clean and beautiful. The staff always has smiles, a positive attitude and actually love what they do. The whole staff made me feel very calm and relaxed. i am very nervous when it comes down to actually visiting the dentist. The staff, office in general has a sense of calm. They had all the latest high tech mechanics. The x-​ray machine has low, VERY VERY low radiation. You guys, if you are afraid of the dentist just as i am. i really recommend you visiting this office. i think you can visit the website
. Call or you can even do it through the website, if you like. Set up a free consultation ask about the ALL-​ON –4, SLEEP APNEA, and they also do general dentistry. I forgot to mention, if you are looking for IRVINE LOCATION there is a button top left. They also have a different payment options too, if you need that.
