Hello, I’m Dr. Carmen Gonzalez. Originally from South Florida, I relocated to New York to pursue my dental education at Touro College of Dental Medicine, located just outside of New York City. Following my studies at Touro, I furthered my training by undertaking a one-year intensive surgical residency in Buffalo through NYU.

Subsequently, I spent two years practicing in Buffalo, where I gained extensive experience in various surgical procedures, including the placement of mini implants. Later on, I had the privilege of joining Dr. Gildersleeve and her father, Dr. Brockley, at Brockley Dental Center. I am currently dedicated to this practice full-time, though I also make bi-weekly trips to New York City, where I have the opportunity to work alongside a highly esteemed cosmetic dentist.

My passion lies in cosmetic dentistry, as I find it to be a beautiful blend of engineering and artistry. Witnessing patients regain their confidence through transformative smile makeovers is the most fulfilling aspect of my profession.

If you or someone you love needs dental care but need help with financing, meet with Dr. E. Ahono Gildersleeve to learn about if Brockley Dental accepts dental insurance and how they can help you get the care you need.

    The Mini Dental Implant Advantage

    Half The Size

    Mini Implants are about half the size of traditional implant, and therefore don’t require as much bone. With less bone needed, costly, painful and time-consuming bone grafts are typically not required.

    Half The Cost

    In most cases, the mini dental implant procedure is less than half the cost of a traditional implant case, saving you money.

    Preserves Bone Structure

    Implants preserve your natural bone structure so you can maintain the shape of your face and avoid continued bone loss where teeth are missing.

    Immediate Results

    Because they are less invasive, and don’t require the lengthy healing time of traditional implants, they can typically be loaded with crowns, bridges and dentures immediately.

    Less Healing Time & Fewer Visits

    Because mini implants are much smaller, placing them is a less invasive procedure—requiring less healing time and discomfort, and fewer visits.

    No More Decay

    Mini implants are made out of titanium—the same type of material that is used on artificial joints, and they are not subject to decay or periodontal disease.
