Our purpose is to provide technically excellent, compassionate and esthetic dental care in a comfortable environment where there is respect for both the patient and the dental team. Equally important is the education of our patients by a considerate, knowledgeable and enthusiastic team, to assure a lifetime of excellent oral health.
Forester Dental has a legacy which goes back 32 years. Once Dr. Gary graduated from the School of Dentistry at UCSF, he and his wife Marilyn returned to Fresno to open a new dental practice and raise a family. Over the years the practice grew as appreciative patients told their families and friends about the committed quality care they received. The Forester family grew as well and eventually the oldest two sons, Jimmy and David, followed in their fathers footsteps and entered the dental profession. Jimmy specializes in pediatric dentistry and heads up a nonprofit pediatric clinic in Paso Robles. David joined his dad in family practice in 2006 and Forester Dental was born.
A measure of authenticity in any business can be seen in the legacy of the staff. Half of the team here has been involved with Forester Dental for a decade or more. This wealth of experience and knowledge combined with a zeal for extending the latest in techniques and technology, provides their patients the utmost in care and consideration. Collectively there is over 200 years of dental knowledge and service represented in this office.
Another aspect of the legacy is recognized as today there are many extended families and multiple generations involved in the practice. This is very important in a people-oriented practice like Forester Dental. The very first patient Dr. Gary saw in 1977 as a 12 year old, is now a grandmother, while her own grandmother still comes in for her dental care. Photographs throughout the office showcase this intergenerational appreciation.
Here at Forester Dental, we not only want you to love your new smile, but enjoy the process along the way. You may be surprised to learn that many of our patients come to experience that a visit to the dental office can be enjoyable.

Wow. Dr Forested is so knowledgeable, and can look at several different potential problems and come up with a solution. He cares about how much it will cost you, and if it is the best value/solution for your problem. I rrcommend him highly.

After numerous bad experiences & avoiding the dentist chair for years - I finally found the only dental practice and dentist (Dr. Gary) that was able to alleviate my fears and will trust... My experience and numerous visits have been memorable and exceptional! THANK YOU ! If you were/are like me and have intrinsic concerns or fears around treatments... please call this practice and you will be both surprised and relieved that there is one practice (from the receptionist to the Dr's themselves) that show care, compassion and willingness to work with you whatever your concerns to provide the very best treatment here in Fresno and in the Central Valley. By the way my wife thinks so too!! Peter and Laura.
