Dr. Gonzalez provides thoughtful, thorough, and professional dental artistry. I have been impressed with his knowledge and approach for the past several years. His patients are fortunate to be served by him.
If I could give Dr. Gonzalez 10 stars, I would. When I moved to Los Angeles a little over a year ago, a good friend and role model in my life knew that finding a good dentist had been a real struggle for me. I've dealt with a lot of dental problems and a lot of dentists the last 4 or 5 years and as a result, I've had to teach myself how to smile and laugh while keeping my lips shut. As dramatic as it sounds, I haven’t really been able to smile with confidence in about a decade. After my first consultation with Dr Gonzalez I felt for the first time that I was solidly in great hands. He took time to really understand and explain my unique situation, and he sat down with me to really outline a plan. For someone like me with general anxiety especially regarding my dental plan as a result from previous dentists not working out, this was HUGE! He knew exactly how I needed things to go even though I didn't, and he made sure that there weren't any surprises for me along the way. He’s incredibly passionate and strategic; he thinks about how his work on one part of your mouth will affect the rest of your teeth - something my dentists of the past somehow didn’t consider which wound up causing issues that lead to me experiencing pain. I was told by other dentists that I didn't have one tooth that was salvageable whereas Dr. G did everything he could in order for me to keep my healthy teeth incorporated within my brand new smile he built for me. He literally sculpted each missing or damaged tooth by hand, masterfully rebuilding my entire mouth. I highly recommend Dr. Gonzalez and his team, they are absolutely amazing. He’s committed, strategic, intelligent and incredibly humble. I’m so appreciative of everything he has done for me!!!
I learned the hard way that you usually don’t discover you’ve received subpar dental work until a good amount of time later when things go awry. After a lot of poor dentistry done by other practitioners, I’ve found my dental guardian angel in Dr. Gonzalez.I’ve been with Dr. Gonzalez for over 15 years. His work is beautiful, precise, executed with the utmost care, and lasts. He’s a sculptor, a craftsman, a true artist… and all of that shows in his dental work.My previous veneers done by another dentist were overcontoured, which led to food getting trapped in the areas between the veneers and my gums. They were also discoloring at the margins. Dr. Gonzalez replaced them over 10 years ago – no more trapped food and no discoloration at the margins.Complete strangers have commented on how gorgeous my teeth are. I always respond with, "I can tell you where to buy them." At first they're confused by what I mean. After I explain to them that I have 6 veneers -- they're stunned.Dr. Gonzalez has also done crowns and fillings for me, all of which have lasted for years. He takes a conservative approach, which I always appreciate, and I've never encountered a more ethical medical professional.
I fly in from around the world just to come see Dr. Gonzalez! He's brilliant, and he doesn't sit there and force work on you, he figures out the real problem and has saved me literally thousands of dollars that other dentists would have charged to give me unnecessary work! My whole family and many friends go to him as well!
Dr. G is a miracle worker! The best dentist I've ever been to and consistent . He saved my son's teeth . He does his work the right way, the first time.
My husband and I have been going to Dr. Gonzalez for a long time and we are 100% satisfied with his expertise and care. Dr. Gonzalez is very patient and gentle, and takes time to explain procedures in detail. Not only that, but he will not perform unnecessary dental work which isn't always the case with other dentists I've seen who are basically interested in billing. He's extremely honest, ethical, and cares about his patients. And Dr. Gonzalez appreciates aesthetics and will go the extra mile to ensure that your smile is perfect.
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.
Best dentist in Southern California! I've been a patient of Dr. Gonzalez for over 10 years. He's truly an artist and a perfectionist when it comes to dentistry. He also has the best hygienist ever!
Dr. Gonzalez is a great and meticulous dentist. His work is wonderful and the office is very comfortable. I would recommend him time after time!
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.
Best and most thorough dentist ever. His work is genuinely beautiful and he takes so much care to make each visit as pleasant as possible. 10/10, would (and absolutely do) recommend.
Professional, meticulous, caring and passionate about what he does, John Gonzalez is not only technically tops in his field, but he's always interested in the best possible outcome for his patients. His staff is very friendly and my experiences couldn't have been better. You don't always look forward to seeing your dentist, but in my case, that's exactly how I feel. Wholehearted recommendation!
Thank you Dr Gonzalez for repairing my son's front tooth after he took an elbow in a waterpolo game, breaking the tooth in half. I recommend Dr Gonzalez for his expert workmanship. You cannot tell the tooth was fixed, it looks perfect!
Fantastic dentist! I'd highly recommend going here for any dental work you may need.
Excellent, caring dentist with a lot of integrity. The staff is also great. Appointments are easy to schedule and I’ve never waited more than 5-10 minutes. I highly recommend.
I have been a patient of Dr. Gonzalez for many years. When I think of doctors that I can recommend to my friends, he is, without hesitation, the first person on my list. He is an excellent dentist, highly skilled, gentle, and conducts his business with the utmost integrity and kindness. I have very complicated teeth, and Dr. Gonzalez has helped me immensely, for which I am forever grateful.

I have worked in the dental field for over 15 years and Dr. Gonzalez is the BEST DENTIST I have ever meet. I have his patient for over 5 years and would NEVER change him. He pays attention to detail, listes to you and is very patient. I am terrified to go to the dentist, when he did my filling he understood my anxiety and never tried to push unnecessary treatment like other places. A truly passionate dentist that loves his job and people. He build his own plane, he can definitely help you in any dental needs.
Dr. Gonzalez is the most gentle dentist out there! He is also a perfectionist which is exactly what I need in a dentist, someone who takes great pride in his work and truly cares for his patients.
Dr. Gonzalez is a great dentist! He fixed a broken front tooth perfect for me among other dental work. He is caring and patient. I would highly recommend him and his office. I have been going to him for serval years. Try to park on the street.
I'm so lucky to have found Dr. Gonzalez! I am very hard on my teeth, to say the least. By the time I met him, I had ground down most of my teeth and was repeatedly breaking the veneers on my front teeth. With great skill and patience, Dr. Gonzalez basically rebuilt my mouth and restored my bite. He's helped me maintain a healthy approach to my dental hygiene. Plus, he's a really interesting guy...and that's important when you have to spend a lot of time in a dental chair!
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.
There are a few doctors that I wholeheartedly recommend to my friends. Dr. Gonzalez is at the top of the list. He is an excellent dentist, highly skilled, and has the utmost integrity. I have a complicated set of teeth and have been going to him for many years. He's far away from retirement and hopefully he never will!
I can't say enough good things about Dr. John Gonzalez. He is the BEST dentist on the Westside!! I'm an extremely nervous patient & he is so kind and gentle. He provides headphones to cancel out noise and nitrous if needed, which definitely helps calm the nerves. He's also a perfectionist, which is a great quality when it comes to dental work. If your looking for a compassionate, trustworthy dentist that will do a great job... he's the Dr. for you!! Thanks Dr. Gonzalez for all that you do!!
Dr. Gonzales is a true artist and has saved my smile! I had to get veneers on my two front teeth and went to a local dentist in Culver City who was well recommended. After two shoddy attempts, I lost all confidence with this dentist. Thankfully, I found Dr. Gonzales. His process was completely different from my previous dentist. The meticulousness, craftsmanship, the patience, and professionalism by Dr. Gonzales was unparalleled. I am THRILLED with my new veneers! They seamlessly fit in with my other teeth and this was no easy feat as I have unusually spotted teeth due to calcifications. I can not recommend Dr. Gonzales highly enough. Truly, he saved my smile. I feel fortunate to have found him.
I met Dr Gonzalez many years ago but I didn't go to see him until I had some problems. I knew he would be honest about what needed to be done. He's wonderful...kind, patient, meticulous, and so knowledgeable. He really explained things so that I could make a choice based on what's real. Thank you John... I love my smile!
Dr . Gonzales is incredible. He beautifully crafted my son's right front tooth after my son broke it in HALF! His staff is amazing, kind and encouraging. I live about 30 minutes away and wouldn't go anywhere else!
Doctor John Gonzalez has been by my side for a number of years now. He was highly recommended to me by my modeling agency as one of the best dentists in L.A. He's done few crowns, implants, cavity fillings and I am refusing seeing other specialists.His gentle approach, pain free touch, clear explanation of present condition and the best ways to go about it, kindness, and heartfelt understanding on so many levels makes him one of a kind gifts. I am never concerned about anything when coming into his office. I know I'm covered and taken the best care of.The staff is amazing as well. Everyone is attentive, pleasant, and sweet. Going to a dentist has never been this wonderful. Enjoy the view of Getty Museum, think of art while Your teeth being being cared for.
I battle with me teeth. I've had 4 crowns on molars, 1 crown on a front tooth, and deal with periodontal disease with a lot of bone loss, all in the last 5 years since coming back to the LA area. Dr. John Gonzalez has been incredible, honestly I don't think I could imagine a better man doing a better job with my dental needs. I could be biased slightly because we both share the passion of flying, but the results of his work clearly speak for themselves. He is singularly focused on providing the best treatment to his patients, and he's a perfectionist, in the good sense of the word. Dr. John Gonzalez has an iron passion for his work yet a gentle demeanor that give me the confidence to let him take the stick/wheel and I just sit back for the ride. It's a very personal decision when choosing a dentist, you want to like and trust them, AND most importantly of course, you want good work. As someone who doesn't write reviews often yet uses reviews in his daily life to make decisions, I hope I've helped someone who is reading this to find their next dentist.
Okay. I can't imagine that there is a better dentist out there than Doctor G. He is amazing. I went to him because my dentist (at the time) wanted to put veneers on more of my teeth and I wanted a second opinion. Thank God I did this because Dr. G looked at my teeth and said, "You don't have a cracked tooth. You have filler there. Your gum was receding and a dentist put filler in to prevent further erosion." Not only did he save me thousands of dollars, he saved me from doing unnecessary damage to my teeth to put on veneers. What's even more impressive is that Dr. G is in Beverly Hills and he could have gotten more money from me by telling me I needed work on my teeth. I sent my husband to him and he did the same thing. My husband was sure he had a cavity in his tooth and Dr. G looked at it and said that there was nothing wrong! I decided to switch to Dr. G as my full time dentist. I went to his office for my bi-annual teeth cleaning and had THE BEST cleaning I have ever had. I told my husband to go and he agreed that it was excellent. Having a good dentist is sooooo important, it's worth every penny to have someone who is this honest and who doesn't do unnecessary work. I can't recommend him highly enough!
SERIOUSLY the best dentist who walks the earth. My family and I have been coming to Dr. G for years and are always amazingly pleased with the results. He's incredibly sweet and his staff makes you feel comfortable as opposed to the normal 'I'm cringing in this chair - please get me outta here'. GO here. YOU will be so happy and won't ever think of going elsewhere.
Dr. Gonzalez has been my dentist for about 10 years. I believe when you are truly satisfied, you won't look elsewhere, which is how I feel about Dr. Gonzalez. His work is exceptional. He and his staff are professional and friendly. They are mindful of my time, but if I have questions or concerns he will always make time to address them.
Dr. Gonzalez and his staff are simply amazing!I was dealing with a chronic tooth pain for a few months, and Dr. Gonzalez and his staff accommodated my busy work schedule by coming in early for my appointments several times, even as a new patient. I could not have asked for a better dentist or staff to work with me through my tooth pain. Where other dentists brushed it off, Dr. Gonzalez and his team tried several methods and referred me to the right people to get to the bottom of my pain. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a dentist in the LA area.
My dental guardian angel.Remember the episode of Seinfeld where Jerry dares to switch barbers within the same shop?? That's me, only with dentists. I switched to Dr. Gonzalez years ago and never looked back.Between not-so-great dental genes and a history of subpar work from other dentists, I used to dread going to the dentist. Seemed like more often than not, it would involved bad news, pain, and unwelcome expense. Dr. Gonzalez changed all that. He's a sculptor, a craftsman, a true artist ... and it shows in his dental work.I was born missing two front teeth AND with a large gap between the two front teeth I did get. In raw form, I looked like a hillbilly vampire. Dr. Gonzalez crafted veneers for my top front six teeth. Complete strangers have commented on how gorgeous my teeth are. I always respond with, "I can tell you where to buy them." At first they're confused by what I mean, and once I explain to them that they're veneers -- they're stunned.Dr. Gonzalez's work is beautiful, precise, and executed with the utmost care. He's also done crowns and fillings for me, all of which have lasted for years. He takes a conservative approach, which I always appreciate, and I've never encountered a more ethical medical professional.For selfish reasons, I hope Dr. Gonzalez never retires and moves away to his dream location because me and my teeth would be lost without him.
I have had to have a LOT of teeth work over the years and have also moved around frequently, and so I have had exposure to numerous dentists. I can say, unequivocally, that Dr. Gonzalez is hands down the best dentist I have ever had. His passion for his work combined with his true caring for each individual patient's needs is unparalleled. I cannot recommend him enough. His patients are lucky to have him.
All the 5 star reviews are True!I've been a patient of his for so long I cannot even remember when I started - but I do remember switching to him.My first dentist in LA was a close cousin of my friend. He did very good work and I knew he was trustworthy. I had complete faith he was taking care of me and not thinking of his wallet.When my first dentist moved away, he referred me to Dr Gonzalez. If I had any concerns, they were immediately gone after the first year. Dr. G took great care of me. Without hesitation, I have even more trust in Dr. G Lucky for me, I have a fairly clean mouth - just three fillings and all are bonded/composites put in place by Dr G over the years.All of them have significantly outlasted the lifespan of an average filling. Let me repeat that - all my fillings have lasted much, much longer than they were supposed to last. You see Dr G has this unique procedure that keeps restorations stronger and tighter than most other dentists. Why is this important? A filling by Dr G will need much fewer replacements than others - that's less time in the chair for the rest of your life -- and who doesn't want to stay out of the dentist office!?Poor Dr. G's perfection in dentistry comes at a price to him -- the stronger his fillings are, the less money he makes. That's why ALL HIS PATIENTS TRUST him so much !
Dr. Gonzalez and my family go way back to 1995 - his dedication to make your smile beautiful and your fillings most comfortable, while the process is painless, is truly amazing! He has done an extensive work on my teeth and I was extremely happy with the outcome. He is a true artist and my family and I highly recommend him!
Dr. Gonzalez is an expert at what he does. He's a true artisan and you can tell he really cares about his patients. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality dental care.
