Santa Maria dentist Dr. Michael R. Gomez was born and raised in Orange, California. 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 established 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 and is involved in the local Spear Study Club. 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. Dr. Gomez also has a very special interest in providing excellent custom made and technologically advanced methods of restoring teeth including conventional dentures and implant supported dentures.
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 participant in the local cycling communities.As a family they hike, camp, and of course bike to regularly rekindle their connection with our Creator.

Dental hygienist, Karen, was friendly, polite, and proficient. Dr. Gomez also was friendly (he is a friend). His 40 years of dentistry was obvious in his professionalism. The efficient staff and pleasant atmosphere made for a comfortable visit.

Dr Gomez and his team are the best dental team I've ever experienced. I really feel respected and they make me feel so comfortable. Karen, my hygienist is gentle but thorough and both her and Dr Gomez tell me exactly what they are doing and why. That is so appreciated. I reccomend them highly.

I had an emergency over the weekend and called Dr. Gomez early morning on a Monday, he had me go to the office as soon as they open and helped me quick, considering the busy schedule he always have he went overboard to help me and also made arrangements with specialist Dr. Paul Erben that was excellent also for a root canal the same day and it was completed, I had a crown put in at a later day and problem solved. Very nice personnel and clean environment, there is always someone who cares about people and Dr. Gomez and his personnel were there for me. Is not easy to find someone who cares about you and how much are you suffering when you need the most help from a doctor but doctor Gomez without hesitation made time for me and phone calls to arrange other treatments with such a short notice. I can't thank him enough for what he have done, he was there for me when I needed the most help. By the end of a single day the repairs were completed and went home pain free, after a long 3 painful days and nights. I will definitely recommend his practice for all your needs. Thank you Doctor Gomez and all personnel, I'm very grateful.

We are patients of Dr. Gomez. We are extremely happy with the care we receive from him, and we love his office. The office itself is very professional, but the people who make up Dr. Gomez' office make the experience even better. We have had the opportunity to compare as we were patients of another dental office, and we felt like we were being processed like cattle, unlike our experience with Dr. Gomez who provides professional and personal care.

Dr Gomez is the kindest doctor I have ever met. He explained in great detail the procedure process and expectation afterwards. His staff was equally as kind. What a great place.

From the time I arrived until I departed my experience can only be described as excellent. The professionalism runs throughout Dr. Gomez's office. From the individual who greeted me to the payment of my bill I was made to feel like I was the only patient in the Doctor's care. Hygiene is so important today, and Dr. Gomez's staff exhibited their commitment to keeping patient's safe.
