Services
Dr. Roberts and Dr. Kalinowski are both accepting new patients at this time. When visiting our office for the first time, we will review your medical history, dental history and any concerns you have. We will review old/ obtain new x-rays in order to best evaluate your current oral health. Any previous dental x-rays.
My wife went in 10 months postpartum to get all four of her wisdom teeth out, the bottom two were complicated cases of impacted wisdom teeth touching the nerve. We were quite nervous during the consultation with Dr. Roberts, because the previous consultants had refused to take her case since they had chances of complications and quoted an unreasonable price.
Your toothbrush, dental floss and mouthwash are the most important tools you have at home to promote a healthy smile. While they are effective, they are not enough to keep your teeth and gums healthy. You must also see your dentist twice a year for a cleaning and checkup. We offer complete preventive dentistry to foster a healthy, beautiful smile that will last for a lifetime.
If your teeth have cavities, then each needs to have a filling. Left untreated, cavities can erode the entire tooth and extend into the root, necessitating a root canal or the complete loss of the affected tooth. If you need to have a tooth filled, it's a simple procedure. Your dentist will remove the damaged part of the tooth, clean and disinfect the area, and then place the filling.
Gingivitis is a form of gum disease that happens when plaque, a naturally-occurring sticky film containing bacteria, builds up on teeth and causes the inflammation of the surrounding gum tissue. Plaque produces toxins that irritate the gums. This can cause the gums to become inflamed, making them red or puffy, or causing them to bleed.

My grandson had four wisdom teeth removed at one time and Dr. Gary Roberts was able to put him at ease and perform the surgery with a minimum of discomfort. Dr. Rpberts was terrific and I would recommend anyone to use his services.

I started going to Dr. Roberts ~4 years ago and I'm really glad that I did.
Dr. Roberts is the best Dentist that I've ever had.
I used to get really anxious going to the Dentist but not with Dr. Roberts as he's really friendly, caring, listens to you and explains the work to be done and above all he knows what he's doing!!
His staff is also really friendly and I enjoy talking to them during my Dental appointments.
Give Dr. Roberts a try and you won't be sorry that you made the change!

We were quite nervous during the consultation with Dr. Roberts, because the previous consultants had refused to take her case since they had chances of complications and quoted an unreasonable price. But Dr. Roberts assured us that although it was rare, her case wasn’t impossible to treat and that he would give her medication that wouldn’t affect breastfeeding. We were terrified of the surgery, but his confidence and positive communication

Am fortunate to have been under the care of Dr. Roberts for several years. In addition to check ups, I've had some major work done and could not have asked for a better experience. One of the things I appreciate the most is that he always explains what he is doing and what to expect, and of course the work is done perfectly.

I came to Dr. Roberts for a second opinion! And I AM SO THANKFUL I DID! I broke one of my molars in January and I went to go see a dentist in San Jose with my insurance. That Dentist told me he was going to have to do a deep cleaning of my gums, extract my tooth, do a foot lift, and then put a bone graft and implant in. It was going to cost 10k or something very crazy like that. I was very shocked and defeated, and my father who had a bunch of dental work done, told me to go see Dr. Roberts..
Dr. Roberts SAVED my tooth, he just did a root canal and said my gums were healthy. I was awake during
