To Know Us Is To Love Us

LEARN ABOUT US

Ideally located at 8880 E. Foothill Blvd, Suite 5, Gentle Dental is proud to offer expert dental services for residents living in and around Rancho Cucamonga, California.

With a patient-first approach, our compassionate team works hard to create a relaxing, stress-free environment where every patient feels safe and comfortable. Using cutting-edge technology and the latest techniques, our dentists provide a full spectrum of services, including preventive dental treatments and restorative procedures, root canals, bridges and crowns, implants, inlays and onlays, bone augmentation and oral surgery.

Because we understand that many patients are concerned with the appearance of their smiles, we also offer comprehensive cosmetic dental procedures. This includes effective whitening treatments and durable veneers that look completely natural. For patients with misaligned teeth, we offer traditional orthodontics and Invisalign clear aligners.

Since dental issues don’t always happen during typical business hours, our office provides timely emergency dental treatments. We also offer gentle pediatric dental services for babies, children and teens. Whether your family needs cosmetic treatments or expert dental care, you can count on Gentle Dental Foothill for professional treatment, whatever your dental issue, whatever your age.

Committed to delivering affordable dental care for our Rancho Cucamonga friends and neighbors, Gentle Dental accepts the vast majority of major dental insurance plans. If you don’t have insurance, you may qualify for our Dedicated Dental Plan, which comes with major discounts for preventative care, diagnostic services and specified dental treatments.

If you or a family member needs braces, a cosmetic procedure or a more extensive dental treatment, your insurance plan may not offer coverage. In these instances, our office can provide convenient financing options, which let you split your costs up into lower, affordable monthly payments.

Conveniently situated at the corner of Foothill Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue, Gentle Dental is your one-stop source for affordable, expert dental care in Cucamonga, California. Contact our office to schedule an examination, routine cleaning or professional treatment and protect your dental health while improving the aesthetic of your smile.

Years ago, I used to drive all the way from Orange County to Riverside County to get my teeth cleaned by Dr. Michael Simonian. Why? Because, he was literally the ONLY dentist that I could find that wasn't trying to swindle me. As far as I'm concerned, his bedside manner and technique are bar none. He's the guy you refer patients to who might be afraid to go to the dentist. He is super sweet and honest. Sadly, he left California altogether, and set up shop in Nevada for years. I was sure that we had lost him for good. Recently, my mother was looking for a dentist, and she found a certain name that sounded awfully familiar to her. Luckily, I was there when she asked me about him, and now she is a believer as well. I couldn't be happier that Dr. Simonian is back where he belongs, in California! If you are looking for a dentist, please look no further. Because, you will NOT find a better dentist anywhere. This man simply cares about doing it right, and doing it honestly. I can't tell you how many other dentists would try to pull the wool over my eyes, and I would have to go to him to get the honest to goodness truth. Dr. Simonian has saved me a lot of time, grief, and money over the years. Now, he's taking care of another generation of my family. God bless you Dr. Simonian. I hope you never retire or ever leave us again! :) Yes, my mother and father drive all the way from Orange County to Rancho Cucamonga, just to see Dr. Simonian, because he is absolutely worth it. If you have Gentle Dental, please make sure that he is your doctor! You'll be glad you did.

I love this dentist ! First time was a great experience . The dentist usually makes me nervous which is why I hadn’t been in 2 years . The tech Cassie was super sweet and informative about all my questions . The hygienist Leslie was a saint . I ended up needing a deep cleaning , she was gentle with the numbing shots even though I was a complete baby and made me relaxed and always checked on me . She did a thorough job and my teeth and gums already feel 10 times better. Great staff , glad I found my new dentist

Extremely pleased! Had a bad experience at my previous dentist, but was transferred to Gentle Dental Foothill (Rancho Cucamonga) when the Pomona location closed. I think it will be a great fit! Dr. Simonian was warm and friendly, and explained everything thoroughly. Christina the dental tech and Rosa in the front office were kind and patient, which means everything to me. I have high hopes they will restore my smile to its former glory.
