Services
I have been working in the dental field for 37 years now. In the beginning I was an orthodontic assistant and went on to further my education and became a dental hygienist. I graduated from the dental hygiene program at Cypress College in 1981. I joined the team at Dr. Middleton's office in 2001. Each step of the way, I have enjoyed seeing the progression of dentistry and working for Dr. Middleton has allowed me to keep up with the latest in dentistry.Alongside my fellow team members, I volunteer each year for the Project Kind's "Give Kids a Smile" program.
A routine dental checkup is more than just cleaning your teeth. We check for tooth decay, plaque and tartar build-up, and gum disease. We also check for oral cancer. We now know that the health of your mouth can affect your overall health. Poor oral health has been linked to an increased risk for heart attack or stroke, uncontrolled diabetes, respiratory disease, and low birth weight or pre-term babies. Regular maintenance appointments are vital to good oral health, general health and maintaining a beautiful healthy smile for a lifetime.
Dental implants are usually the treatment of choice to replace a missing or several missing teeth. With today's technology, we can implant a space age material, titanium, into the jawbone to anchor a tooth, bridge or even a denture. Implants look and feel natural and they actually stimulate bone growth.
Sometimes severe dental problems require a full mouth reconstruction. Many factors can contribute to this condition including decay, periodontal disease, wear or trauma. Regardless of the cause, the goal is still the same: get the teeth, gums and bone healthy and provide an attractive beautiful smile.

It's always a pleasure to visit Dr. Middleton's office; meticulously clean, organized, state of the art, modern and up to date with technology & treatments. Personnel from the front office to treatment rooms is genuinely welcoming, courteous, and always smiling! Meagan is my go to hygienist, I always enjoy chatting with her and of course Dr. Middleton. I never thought I would enjoy or look forward to dental visits as much as I do now.

Everyone at this office was very nice. They are patient with anxious patients, don't pressure you into getting unnecessary work done, and good at what they do. I have tried several local dentists and Dr. Middleton is the best one I could find.

As usual Dr Middleton always makes the best decisions regarding your teeth. He can tell you what's wrong before he ever looks at the xray. He's pleasant, caring, and warm.

Lori has been my hygienist for the last 12 years. With her tools, she digs, scrapes, brushes and flosses my teeth thoroughly. Then she sends me on my way with a bag of goodies. Job well done!

GM dentistry is very professional in serving their patient's. I feel that they are very competent and effective in their work. I was comfortable in dealing my personal dental issues. The dentist listened to my concerns and addressed them and I feel that my treatment will be thorough. Thanks for getting me started on the road to a better smile.

Let's just start by saying that I haven't been to the dentist in years until a friend referred me to Dr. Middleton. He was so nice and thorough when I first met him. He made me feel at ease and that was important to me. So he recommended some steps to get me on the right track with my teeth and honestly I didn't want to. I'm afraid of the metal scraping my teeth and my anxiety grew! That's because I had bad memories at the dentist.

But let me just say. Rachel and Megan are the BEST dental hygienist ever! Rachel greeted me and she knew that I was nervous. She is the sweetest person! She was so gentle and made sure I was at ease and comfortable before she started. I didn't tighten up or squeeze the chair like before! I lay there and she talked to me step by step what she was doing and I didn't feel anxious at all.

Next thing you know I was done! Then today I had another deep cleaning and this time it was Megan! She greeted me in the front and took my temperature before walking me to my chair! Before she started she to knew that I was nervous about my treatment today. What impressed me was that she had communicated with Rachel prior and knew ME! I didn't have to tell her about my sensitivity!

She just knew! Megan took her time with me and made me feel at ease! The best part was the fact that she took her time to call later in the day to check up on me! What great service! I highly recommend this dental office! I finally found my dentist place for sure! Thank you again to Rachel and Megan for such an amazing service!

I have gone to Dr. Middleton since for about 20 years. I recently tried going to another dentist in the area where I moved to and was told I had a lot of work that needed to be done. I was very surprised because Dr. Middleton had not mentioned these issues to me the last time I was there. I went back to Dr. Middleton for a second opinion and he disagreed with almost all of the work that I was told needed to be done. It would have been easy to just agree and have me pay the money for the work, but he was honest with me as usual. Thanks, Dr. Middleton and team!

I would totally recommend Dr. Middleton for anyone who wants their teeth fix and clean. I had a very bad experience with another dentist before to the point I never wanted to go to a dentist again. But Dr. Middleton reassured me that him and his staff will take care of me and my teeth. They were right! Dr Middleton and his staff took care of my filling and cleaned them. whenever I had discomfort they would communicate and have patience with me the whole time to make sure I was ok like they were going with my pace. Totally awesome experience.

Hands down the best Dentist in the area. Dr. Middleton utilizes the latest technology and methods and makes sure that you are completely taken care of. Might cost a little more than other dentists (and I'm a cash patient!) but in my opinion it's completely worth it for the care and comfortable atmosphere. Never had an issue. Highly recommend Dr. Middleton and his staff. Also 5 stars for Megan who does my cleanings.

Dr. Middleton is the best dentist I have ever had. He is caring, conscientious and does everything he can to provide his patients with good oral care and a brilliant smile. The dental hygienists are just as great and do an exceptional job of teeth cleaning. Dr. Middleton has a beautiful state of the art office and a friendly front office staff. If you want the best of the best when it comes to oral hygiene Dr. Middleton is your man.

He is such a great dentist that I drive all the way from Long Beach and pass hundreds of dental offices to go to him. If that is not a ringing endorsement I do not know what is!

Dr. Middleton and his staff were very patient with this client who doesn't particularly do well at a dentist's office. Their clear clear explanations, respectful encouragement, genuine friendliness, and very high levels of professionalism are much appreciated.

I don't know where to start.everyone at this office are genuinely good people and take pride in what they do and are as professionals. I have never felt more comfortable at another dentist and I also know I am in good hands. I trust what they do, their work, and what they recommend. I have a lot of problems with my teeth and I am so thankful to have found them. Dr Middleton is one of the kindest, skillful, and knowledgable dentist you can find.

His staff are a representation of the kind of dentist he is and they are just as wonderful, caring, and skilled. I don't know what else to say other than I am thankful I found them.

Fantastic! It is rare when both dentist and office staff are both excellent - but this is the case at Dr. Middleton's office. His staff are knowledgeable and courteous and they are very good at putting people at ease who don't like going to the dentist. Dr. Middleton is very knowledgeable and gentle and explains everything so that there are no questions regarding the care being given.

He is excellent at dealing with both geriatric and non-geriatric patients and understandings that sometimes things have to be explained more than once and never gets upset when the same question is asked more than once. Absolutely fantastic!

I have been a patient of Dr Middleton's for nearly a year. His practice is impressive on many levels. I was looking for a dentist with modern equipment. He certainly did not disappoint. My lower teeth were cracked and broken. I have veneers on the upper front and wanted the bottom to look nice as well. The doctor brought in an expert dental technician who made ten crowns while the dr. Prepared my lower teeth.

They turned out beautifully and are a perfect match to my top ones. All in one sitting which is what I preferred. I always hated the shot you get to numb your mouth because it was painful and pinching. The Dr. Has a computerized wand like instrument that delivers the anesthetic slowly and with almost no discomfort.actually painlessly. A great improvement over my experiences with other dentists.

The staff is wonderful. The office is modern and beautiful. I just had another crown put in yesterday. They have a machine that makes them in the office and then they put it on.all in one sitting! So if you want to come out of the dark ages like I did, you should make an appointment with Dr. Middleton. You will improve your life!

I have been a patient of Dr. Middleton's for several years now and have always had a positive experience! The office is clean and very presentable with complimentary refreshments and wifi available. Dr. Middleton and his staff are attentive, respectful, and kind, and have always provided me with excellent care. I have never been prescribed unnecessary treatment, and receive reminders for my bi-annual cleanings.

My appointments are never rushed, and I'm always given plenty of time to ask any questions I might have. He also has an after hours line for emergencies, which I have (thankfully) only had to use once. Unfortunately for the both of us, I had some pain that escalated so I called him on the Fourth of July. He took my call, was able to reassure me that I was in no immediate danger, and advised a course of action to manage the pain until I was able to come into his office.

Long story short, turns out my dental pain was caused by other health issues, and my traitorous tooth was in great condition. I won't be making the mistake of switching dentists again. It's a 30-40 minute drive on a good day, and I have friends who still live in that area, so hopefully my next trip won't be so unexpected!

Start for Receptionist, this doesn't judge Mr. Middleton. Called to schedule an appointment as a first time patient. As soo i as i said that, the receptionist was rude like if she's never had someone called as a new patient in her life. After her being rude, i asked what the cost was for a first time patient for an exam + x rays like most Dentist have some sort of special to get new customers, and she just said our fee for everyone is $200 for the exam + x-rays. Wow, that's ridiculous! Their prices must be outrageous, won't be going here. Again, the start only reflects on the price, and receptionist.
