Named after her birthstone, Opal Dental Studio is uniquely designed to prioritize patient comfort and build trust through clear communication and motivational education. Our goal is to shift patient’s mindsets, helping them break the cycle of negative dental experiences while empowering them to take control of their oral health. We use high-quality products and materials, making conscious decisions to ensure safety and promote long-term health.

With an incomparable zest for life, Dr. Gonzales balances her love of dentistry with a rich and active personal life. An Ironman athlete, marathon runner, avid traveler, and foodie, she thrives on new challenges and adventures. Music is another passion—she finds joy in learning new pieces on the piano.‍

‍Her husband, David, is not only her life partner but also the practice’s business manager and IT expert, making their dental office a true family endeavor. Together, they’ve built a practice rooted in teamwork, compassion, and innovation.‍

‍Beyond the office, Dr. Gonzales is deeply committed to giving back. She volunteers at MOM (Mission of Mercy) dental clinics, mentors pre-dental students, and proudly supports Opal as a CPCC site. Her dedication to education and service reflects her belief in nurturing the next generation of dental professionals.‍

‍On any given day, you might spot her cycling through the heart of Huntersville before or after office hours—yet another way she brings energy and balance to both her personal and professional worlds.
