A California native, Gabriel was born and raised in Central Valley. He attended the California State University in Fresno where he received his undergraduate degree in chemistry and graduated with honors. He then attended Loma Linda University where he obtained his Doctorate of Dental Surgery.

Gabriels current emphasis in postgraduate education and research is to identify and restore worn dentition utilizing protocols which stabilize the masticatory system in a conservative, painless and predictable fashion. Gabriel strives to provide his patients with the information and treatment that would preserve their teeth and smiles for life. Unfortunately, there are times when teeth are not savable. To that end, Dr. Overholtzers research interests have graduated to include implantology and the rehabilitation of periodontal tissues.

Since starting his practice, our Bishop dentist is committed to providing the most advanced dental care in a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere. He is diligent in his pursuit to stay current in providing the professions leading dental care procedures while utilizing state of the art technology, supplies, and equipment.

His focus lies in patient education, comprehensive care, single visit root canals, one-day crowns, and the use of biocompatible metal-free aesthetic materials. Skyline Family Dentistry is a full service, a state-of-the-art dental practice committed to providing thorough and gentle care to patients of all ages.

Bioesthetic dentistry is based on the principle of optimal mastication systems, or in other words, a biologically efficient and stable bite that prevents tooth wear and muscle tension. The ongoing study of adult and senior patients who have not experienced tooth wear or a break down in the function of the bite has shown that when the teeth are making proper contact and supported by natural jaw alignment, dental health can remain stable throughout life. These studies have become the treatment foundation for those practicing Bioesthetic Dentistry, providing a guideline for helping those with worn and damaged dentition to re-establish a healthy bite.

Dr. Overholtzer is a practitioner of Bioesthetic Dentistry, applying the principles of restoring natural jaw alignment as part of an overall treatment plan to address a range of dental problems and concerns. The goal of treatment is to address the functional issues first so that the results of your dentistry are lasting and support long term oral health and wellness. Once natural chewing function is stabilized with splint therapy, Dr. Overholtzer will work with you to repair tooth damage, align the teeth or make adjustments to the biting surface of the teeth for allowing proper contact to be established. A treatment plan may include several recommended procedures to fully restore a smile that is comfortable, naturally functioning and lasting.

As a Bioesthetic dentist in Bishop, CA, Dr. Overholtzer takes a holistic approach to your dental care in our office, from routine exams to personalized treatment plans. He looks for the early warning signs and symptoms to help patients avoid more complex problems associated with a bite related disorder. Identifying jaw tension and malocclusion early can allow Dr. Overholtzer to use splint therapy more effectively. Early treatment can also avoid tooth wear and damage.

Bioesthetic dentistry principles seek to restore natural jaw position, relieving muscle tension that often leads to a bite problem, jaw pain, headaches and other TMJ related symptoms. Dr. Overholtzer may recommend the use of a splint designed to reseat the jaw joints into a more natural position. Maxillary anterior-guided orthosis (MAGO) treatment is the first step towards restoring optimal dental health.

A MAGO splint is custom fit to be worn 24/7 until symptoms have improved and the jaw is able to move and rest naturally. Once this is achieved, Dr. Overholtzer will recommend any additional restorative or orthodontic treatment as needed.

Just got one tooth removed yesterday and I was comfortable thru the whole procedure and now it is noon the next day and not for one minute have I had any pain like anything was ever done. I spaced out 4 Advil's thru the afternoon and evening expecting to feel some pain. Stick my tongue up the hole the tooth was in and not even sore. Dr. Overholtzer your the greatest and your assistant is really special and all your employees. Thank you :)

The dentist is a good guy - intensely focused , dedicated , highly motivated & damn serious about doing a good job right ! the girls are beautiful, smart , fun , and helpful. What more does an old man want from the tragically terrible painful heinous experience of going to the dentist..., Well seeing as you asked; how about a female partner dentist of the same or better caliber who sings well while she works and has a bevy of handsome, competent and helpful young men to assist her. either way ; I go here and lose a big chunk of money to save my teeth and that's well worth it !!! (even if afterwards I can only afford a cheese burger ).

Whether I'm there for a cleaning or to work with the Dentist, they are a wonderful team. True, it's not "fun" doing to the dentist, but they are professional from the front desk to everyone else on the team.
