Dr Heather Gonzales

For Dr. Heather Gonzalez, each day is a new opportunity to get to know her patients and treat them holistically based on their individual needs and desires. She strives to educate her patients, of all ages, on the importance of the oral-systemic health connection in hopes of improving her patients’ overall lives by beginning in her area of expertise. Having called the Coastal Bend home from a young age, she graduated salutatorian of Orange Grove High School, achieved a bachelor of science in biology from Texas A&M University — College Station, and then ultimately graduated from The University of Texas School of Dentistry — Houston. With the heartfelt goal of wanting to become a dentist since she was five years old, Dr. Heather Gonzalez feels blessed to be working alongside Dr. Kenneth Gonzales and their wonderful team in a state-of-the-art facility with a calming, artistic environment. She is happy to be back home serving her community and welcomes each patient with warmth and gentle hands. She is passionate about continuing her education to better serve her patients with the latest technology and techniques in dentistry. She is Academy of Laser Dentistry certified, adding several benefits to her treatment modalities. Dr. Gonzalez is also Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics (CEREC) doctor trained, allowing for delivery of same day crowns, when patients meet the criteria. Another technology that Dr. Gonzalez uses when evaluating her patients is a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). This 3D technology allows her to more thoroughly examine each patient, including their airway. Insufficient airways can lead to several health problems including sleep apnea, grinding of teeth, hypertension, and cardiovascular issues. Once identified, she can offer personalized solutions to help her patients achieve better health. Dr. Gonzalez also offers sedation dentistry. Her goal is to ensure each and every patient has a comfortable dental visit.
