About Galvez Dental
Same-day crown work, quick emergency turnarounds, and a father-to-son handoff to the current doctor mark this Stockton practice.
Galvez Dental is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, though many patients here have gone through traditional braces treatment as well. Reviewers often mention fast scheduling, including same-day emergency extractions and crowns made in-house, along with a generational transition as the current doctor now treats patients his father once saw for years. Gentle numbing and a calm chairside manner come up often as helping ease dental anxiety, and staff are noted for accommodating busy work and school schedules.

I had a great experience at this office! I was able to get the work done in 1 day, the entire process was fast and Dr. was very thorough with the process from the consult appt to getting the work done. I went in got a crown and fillings in 1.5hr! Everyone was so kind, and they made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. The staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and took the time to make sure I understood everything. I also liked how the insurance lady went over everything and I knew exactly what I was paying for and did not hesitate to provide an itemized receipt. It is convenient that they can text you to schedule or confirm appts. Plus in my book! I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for quality dental care!
