The dental assistant, Thomas, was kind and very helpful. The hygienist was also very kind. Great people, great place.

- Emily M.

I had a dental emergency last week but didn’t really have a steady dentist to call. After calling around to a few places, the team at Embark Dental was able to see me on the same day and work 1 on 1 with me to see that I got the best care for my chipped tooth. Dr. Marc & Thomas answered every one of my questions and even checked up on me over the weekend (when they were closed). They will immediately be the preferred dentist for my family moving forward.

- Adam F.

Michael was super awesome! So was the front desk girl. This is the first time I had been to the dentist in a long time, and they made me feel safe and happy after my visit. I’m finally getting my smile back!

Embark Dental is literally the best! They saw me in an emergency on the same day, and I wasn’t even a patient yet! Jeannette was kind and understanding, and Dr. Marc texted me personally to check in on me. I was sold! I’m so happy to be a new patient! Just had my first cleaning with Michael; he was friendly and gentle! They are also transparent about the costs of services and communicated upfront. Can’t say enough about Embark Dental! Thanks, y’all!

- Kalla H.

Dr. Marc got me in when I was in extreme pain and didn’t have a local dentist. Since then, he has resolved two dental issues and will remain my dentist going forward! He explains everything very thoroughly and lets you see what he is talking about on the screen in the room. He and his team are incredible!!

- Lindsey B.

I had put my dental health on the back burner for a few years and came to Embark Dental on a slightly emergent situation. After speaking with Dr Marc on the phone, he saw me the next morning in the office and had a plan to fix my problem teeth. He did a root canal and two crowns on my teeth. I am extremely pleased with the outcome from all my dental work. Jeanette at the front desk explained all the costs, and I feel it was very reasonable. The dental assistants were so kind, and the whole experience was pleasant. I’ve definitely found my new home for dental care and would highly recommend Embark Dental.

- Teresa H.

My first visit to Embark Dental was a wonderful experience, from the front desk at check in to the check-out process. All the staff are very friend and caring folks. My assistant today was Thomas, and he has so much heart. He makes sure that you are informed through the visit on what going on and answers and welcomes all questions you may have. Very polite, great chair-side manner, and interacts with the provider well. Dr. Gonzales is very friendly and makes you feel like family. He has the most updated technology, so patients can better understand their dental needs and concerns. It’s nice to see your x-rays while they are going over everything with you and pointing out areas of concerns. Understanding is easier when you can see. I had a cleaning today, and I did not feel rushed at my appointment. I feel like he took his time and did a thorough job on getting my teeth cleaned. Before I left, both Thomas and Dr. Gonzalez made sure that I got my next appointments scheduled, so I don’t get behind on my cleanings and made sure that all my questions and concerns were answered. If you are looking for a dentist who cares about your overall oral health, check out Embark Dental. I promise you won’t regret going to see Dr. Gonzalez and Thomas.

- Samantha W.

I am very pleased with my experience at Embark Dental. Dr Gonzalez was attentive, caring, and professional. I left extremely happy with my dental cleaning. Thank you to the staff.

- Carolina K.

Great experience overall. The dental hygienist, Michael, was helpful and educational and met me where I was on my dental health journey. He gave helpful suggestions on how to continue to improve my dental health that made it easy. Dr. Marc was friendly and efficient as well as made me feel well taken care of. I am excited to get my smile to what I want it to be.

- Nicole L.

Embark Dental is the best! Hands down the best dentist office I have been to. The staff is extremely personable, kind, and thorough. The doctor put high-quality pictures of each of my teeth on the screen, so I could see everything he was seeing individually, and he took the time to answer every question I had! Michael is a very experienced and polite hygienist who stayed late to do my cleaning and took the time to explain what he was doing every step of the way. While the building is beautiful and they offer delicious caffeine options, the wonderful staff is truly what makes this dental office stand out!

- Sami E.

Dr Marc and his team are professional, efficient, and thorough. Shout out to Logan!

- Josh S.

I did a lot of research before making an appointment. I wanted a dentist who was a grad of a top school. Dr. G fit the bill. His office is high tech and has a very professional staff. Dr. G explains everything clearly and answers questions confidently. Thomas, and now Kaitlin, are the assistants I have met. I have been to dentists in six states, and I would rate this a 10+.

- Brenda H.

It was right in the middle of the holidays, and an old root canal and crown took a turn for the worse with a massive infection. I had been in excruciating pain in the deepest depths of despair, not knowing what to do without a dentist or one that was even open for that matter. I struggled through tears and pain, scrolling through emergency dentists. I found Embark Dental. Something told me to call. I called and was unsuccessful with no answer. But only minutes later, to my surprise, my phone rang with Dr. Marc Gonzalez on the caller ID. I answered “hello” and in that moment when he asked for me, I knew that HE was going to be my saving grace. Dr. Gonzalez had been in Charlotte and was heading back to Asheville that day. He told me that he would help right away and set up an appointment for me the very next morning. He helped me despite my financial setbacks. He treated me like a human being and not a number. I felt safe and comfortable during the entire procedure. We even shared some laughs after it was all done. I highly recommend Dr. Marc Gonzalez and his awesome, down-to-earth, and kind staff to ANYONE and everyone in search of a good dentist. Embark Dental is where it’s at! I’m SOOO grateful for them! Thank you, Dr. G!

- Melissa M.

The best dental experience I’ve had, bar none, especially as a severe emergency case. Dr. Marc scheduled me on a holiday and after hours to make sure I could get the care I needed as quickly as possible. I really appreciated how transparent he was with the entire procedure. From the beginning, he explained what needed to happen and talked me through it, and at the end, he was able to show me photos of the entire process. Even with top-of-the-line equipment, the costs are reasonable as far as dentistry is concerned. I definitely felt like I was in good hands and have decided to continue with his practice as a regular patient. If you’re looking for a dentist you can trust, this is the place to go.

- Ryn M.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Dr. Marc’s dental office in Asheville, NC for a dental implant, and I must say the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Having been to Dr. Marc’s office previously for a crown, I already had high expectations, but the team managed to exceed them yet again. The level of expertise and attention to detail Dr. Marc showed during my dental implant procedure was remarkable. It’s evident that he stays on the cutting edge of dental technology, as his practice is equipped with modern and high-tech equipment, ensuring the most advanced care possible. What truly sets this office apart, however, is the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by Dr. Marc and his team. They’re not just great at what they do; they’re genuinely great people who make you feel comfortable and cared for from the moment you step in. If you’re in Asheville and in need of dental work, from implants to crowns or anything in between, I cannot recommend Dr. Marc enough. His blend of professional expertise and personable care truly makes a difference in the dental experience. Thank you, Dr. Marc and team, for your exceptional service!

- Michael V.

Embark Dental was the best dental experience I’ve ever had. Excellent customer service, and Michael, my dental hygienist, explained everything and made the process much more understandable. And I got a free Sonicare electric toothbrush for being a new customer! Best dentists in Asheville.

- C. A.

Great experience! The dentist was friendly and really cares about his patients. They have great technology, which makes the process easier.

- Brandon A.

My husband went to the dentist for his annual check, and I have to share this. Dr. Mark Gonzalez at Embark Dental is by far the best dentist we have had. The experience was 10/10. Great person, great dentist, and great team. If you are looking for dentist, I can’t recommend him enough! We always read about the bad experiences, but we need to start sharing the good ones. Totally recommend them.

- Daniela I.

Best dental experience I’ve ever had. Great, friendly staff and dentist. Very clean office as well. I highly recommend.

- Rudy C.

Very good experience! I came in with tooth pain and needed a root canal. Dr. Gonzalez told me all the different options and kept in good contact with me about my pain level. Came back for the root canal and was very impressed with the care, patience, and attention to detail every step of the way. Would highly recommend this place!

- Kelly K.

I’m a new patient with Dr. Marc after an issue trying to get established with a different dentist. He was able to get me in same day and was very attentive, thorough, and kind. The assistant and receptionist were also really pleasant to work with. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’m excited to have found a great dentist in Asheville.

- Elizabeth H.

I was a new patient for Embark Dental. I called and was given an appointment the same day, as I was having a very serious dental emergency. The front office staff was so professional, friendly, and showed she cared, which made me want to continue with the appointment. The location was great and very easy to find. When I arrived at my appointment, the office was organized and clean. The front office staff, dental assistant who helped me, and Dr. Marc Gonzalez were REMARKABLE. I have never experienced a dental appointment like this. They all were so informative of the care I needed and made sure they went above and BEYOND assisting me. I literally could go on and on with the review of just how amazing this office is. I was given very informative directions for aftercare. I have already told 5 people how blown away I was at my visit today. I want to say THANK YOU AGAIN for going above and beyond and making sure I was comfortable and taken care of at my appointment. You don’t find office staff or doctors who actually CARE nowadays, but THEY DO!

I went to my first appointment, and I was really delighted and satisfied. The dr. was very kind and professional. He took time to listen to my concerns as a patient. His work team was also very attentive. His office was very nice and impeccable. Very happy on my part. I recommend it 100% and hope you continue to move forward, providing your quality service.

- Angel V.

For a week, I had been battling an infection, knowing it was possibly one or more of my wisdom teeth. I woke after a week of antibiotics and had severe pain! I knew I couldn’t wait any longer. But where can I go?! From the moment I began calling all dental places around town, I was no closer to help until I called Embark Dental. They immediately put me on the schedule for t that day, and within 1 hour, I was leaving, 3 teeth down but so, so much better!! Dr. Gonzalez and his team, Jeanette and Thomas, were absolutely phenomenal! When I arrived, Jeanette and I were speaking just like old friends would; she was so calming and friendly. She even came back to my exam room to share her technique to calm my anxiousness down, and it worked. But for her to take her time and come help me was so amazing. And Thomas was so polite, spoke calmly, and worked very well with Dr. Gonzalez while having the procedure done. He was very informative and reassuring through the whole process. As for Dr. Gonzalez, he knows his practice very well. He spoke to me professionally, let me know each step that he was going to take before doing so, took extreme caution in making sure I was pain-free before beginning, and if I needed a moment or felt any kind of pain, he would stop immediately and help me get comfortable again, which only happened one time, and I believe I got into my head about it, but he did everything he could to make me comfortable! No one says, “I love going to the dentist,” but after today, I love going to the dentist, as long as that dentist is at Embark Dental. I haven’t always taken the greatest care of my teeth, but now that I’ve found Dr. Gonzalez and his amazing team, I will not hunt for another place to go, and I look forward to coming back and getting my mouth fixed up for good! I recommend this dentist to anyone and have already made my phone calls telling everyone how amazing it was! Embark Dental is it!

- Heather D.

Embark Dental sets a new standard of excellence and innovation in the dental industry. I found the staff to be kind and extremely professional. Dr. Marc is articulate in explaining procedures and presents an aura of confidence in his abilities. I would highly recommend them.

- Lin D.

Easy 5/5 stars. They offered cleanings outside of normal hours to accommodate my working schedule. The office was very clean, and the whole team was very hospitable. I appreciated the honest advice from Dr. Marc on what treatment was required now vs later. It was a very pleasant dental experience overall.

- David L.

Embark Dental is awesome! It is a beautiful practice that gives quality care. I enjoyed getting a heated blanket with my treatment. Dr. Marc is kind, professional, and has a gentle hand. Highly recommend!

- Sara G.

Had a pleasant visit; greeted in a great manner by Jeannette. The dentist, Dr. Marc, provided great information regarding my teeth that I did not previously know. I would recommend this business for anyone looking for a positive change. The hours of availability are a plus. Scheduled for more future appointments while in the office.

- Arnold S.

Great experience at my first visit to Embark Dental today with Michael (very friendly and knowledgeable hygienist), with Jeanette and Diane at the front desk, and Dr. Marc who explained different options for moving forward with my treatment plan. I was particularly impressed when I called for an appointment (around lunchtime), and Dr Marc answered the phone himself! He scheduled me for an appointment the very next day. I even got a free electric toothbrush for my first visit. I am looking forward to future visits with this team – super-friendly, helpful, personable, and professional.

- Barbara H.

Great experiences here all around. Michael and Dr. Marc make everything super comfortable and easy. Highly recommend this office.

- Zac H.

Dr. Marc and his assistant, Thomas, was very good to me during my visit. I called on a Friday at twelve o’clock, and they had me in as soon as I got there. They found the problem and fixed it immediately. I am really impressed with the work and had instant relief afterwards. Best root canal experience I’ve ever had, and best dental visit I’ve ever had. I highly recommend Embark Dental to everyone!

- Trent M.

I understand firsthand how difficult it can be to find an honest and reliable dentist, so I wanted to share my experience with Marc and the team at Embark Dental. Last Thursday, I developed an infection in my gums and decided I was going to move on from my primary dentist and seek a new practice. I reached out to Embark Dental Thursday morning to discuss my situation. They worked me in first thing the next morning to at least look at it and take care of the pain. Marc reached out throughout the weekend on his personal time to check on me and see how I was doing. He scheduled me for a root canal the following Tuesday. Within an hour of me being there, the root canal was completed, and I was on my way. Thankful and impressed with the service I received from Marc and his team. One happy customer here! Thanks everyone and God bless.

- Josh H.

Dr. Marc and his team at Embark Dental are great! Everyone is very kind and helpful. Dr. Marc is very knowledgeable and down to earth; he makes you feel welcome & comfortable right from the start. The office space is clean, cozy, and inviting as well. My husband and I had great new-patient visits and are looking forward to working with Embark Dental for our future dental care needs!

- Brandie M

I had the best experience at Embark Dental, from the soothing and clean environment to the friendly staff who greeted me as I walked in. Dr. Gonzalez was wonderful. He was very informative, gentle, and welcoming. He does a lot of charitable acts, including donating $5 for every new patient to a local charity of my choice. He also gave me a free Sonicare toothbrush! I would recommend him to anyone.

- Katie L.

Dr. Marc and his staff made me feel so at ease! They all listened to me and addressed every single problem I laid out. I’m recommending everyone I know to him and will continue to see him for all of my treatment! 1000000/10

- Shana Cr.

Dr. Marc and his associates are amazing! Top-notch dentistry! I’ve suffered from severe anxiety toward dental work my entire adult life due to other dentists not listening or caring. Dr. Marc did everything in his power to make sure I was comfortable and less anxious. I was informed of my options and then informed of what to expect from my procedure. I am looking forward to my next appointment with him.

- Joshua G.

I visited Embark Dental for a dental emergency without an appointment, and I was treated on the same day. I came in with pain and left the office pain-free. The whole staff, from the front desk to the dental assistants, made me feel at ease and very comfortable. They exceeded my expectations; very professional and discreet. Dr Marc Gonzalez is very thorough, affable, and excellent. He diagnosed my dental problem and immediately started treating it. I felt very comfortable during the procedure.

Kudos to such professionalism. Hard to find these days! Embark Dental is definitely at the top. I would highly recommend them to anybody in need of dental care.
