He attended The University of California at Irvine where he received a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 1978. Dr. Gomez received his dental training from The University of Washington School of Dentistry where he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery in 1982 and then served as Staff Dentist and Dental clinic Director at the Yakima Valley Farm worker's Clinic until 1987. In 1987 Dr. Gomez establish

ed his own practice in Santa Maria. The Gomez family was drawn to Santa Maria by its charm, surrounding beauty, and family oriented hometown atmosphere. Dr. Gomez chose the city flower, the Geranium, as a symbol of dedication to preserving the beauty of Santa Maria, the Valley and the Central Coast of California. His practice has grown over the years to include a broad spectrum of patients and patient needs. He keeps up with the ever-changing world of dental technology by regularly attending professional continuing education courses. This pursuit of advanced study has led Dr. Gomez to his interest in the role of the Temporomandibular joint ( TMJ ) and its relationship to proper dental function and overall dental health. Dedicated as much to his family as to his profession, Dr. Gomez enjoys the great outdoors with his wife Bertha and their three children. Dr. Gomez is an avid bicyclist and is a member of the Orcutt Cutters cycling club. As a family they hike, camp, and of course bike to regularly rekindle their connection with our Creator.

Ask Dr. Gomez: “I’m okay with having a missing tooth. Do I really need a dental implant?” 🦷

It’s a great question! While dental implants can restore the appearance of your smile, their benefits go far beyond aesthetics.

A dental implant is a long-lasting solution that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth. It also helps keep your surrounding teeth in place, supports your bite, and can reduce the risk of future dental problems caused by shifting teeth.

Replacing a missing tooth isn’t just about how your smile looks—it’s about protecting your long-term oral health.

Have questions about whether a dental implant is right for you? We’re here to help!
