Winkler Gernot, DDS

Specialties

General, Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry

Dr. Winkler is proud to be one of the few dentists in the North County area who has brought the latest technology to his patients.

Cerec Tooth Restorations

The system is a German manufactured CAD/​CAM system called Cerec 3. This system allows Dr. Winkler to control the delicate process of creating the perfect tooth and restoration and replaces the need to wait two to three weeks or longer for an outside lab to make a crown, onlay, inlay, or vaneer. With the Cerec 3, Dr. Winkler can fabricate restorations in one visit while the patient is waiting.

Cerec restorations are made from ceramic — a natural substance that is particularly compatible with the body. The cerec ceramic has the same characteristics as normal, healthy teeth. The cerec tooth is not sensitive to hot or cold coffee or ice-​cream. Furthermore, the ceramic is so smooth that bacteria do not adhere to it. There is no metallic taste as no metals are used, thus eliminating the unsightly metal ring at the base of the tooth and any metal allergies.

Dental Implants

Dr. Winkler is a dental implant specialist. Dental implants can provide permanent, stable, attractive replacement teeth for a lifelong smile. Dental implants are affordable and the procedure is easily and comfortably performed.

Gernot W.

Business Owner

Dr. Winkler emigrated to the United States from Germany in 1963 working as an electrical engineer for an American company. At the age of 30, he went back to college and realized his dream of becoming a dentist. He practiced for 15 years in Bethesda, Maryland, providing dentistry to the German, Swiss, and Austrian Embassies. He later followed his son, a physician, to California where he has continued to practice dentistry.

Dr. Winkler keeps abreast of the latest technology and employs only those innovations that he feels will be most beneficial to the patient. Each patient’s treatment is specific and individualized for him or her.

He does not perform unnecessary procedures and works with the patient in developing a treatment plan that the patient is comfortable with. His approach is gentle and caring.
