Dr. Alex: Where dentistry meets artistry and care
Dr. Alex grew up in Stockton and found his passion for dentistry while working in his family’s practice. From assisting as an RDA and receptionist during high school to now providing care as an associate dentist, Dr. Alex has always been immersed in delivering exceptional dental care.
Dr. Alex earned his Biochemistry and Molecular Biology degree from UC Santa Barbara in 2016 before pursuing his dental degree at Universidad De La Salle Bajío in Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico, graduating in 2021. His dedication to continued education is evidenced by his certifications with the Academy of Minimally Invasive Implantology (AMII) and the Minimally Invasive Restorative Approach (MIRA). These credentials allow him to offer patients advanced care focused on achieving long-lasting results while carefully preserving natural oral structures.
Dr. Alex takes pride in restoring proper function and esthetics through services such as dental implants, extractions, and restorative treatments. His ultimate goal is to give patients their confidence back, ensuring they can eat, speak, and smile comfortably.
When he’s not serving patients, Dr. Alex enjoys spending time with his rescue dog Fili, seeking out new coffee spots, and traveling when time allows. He also cherishes moments with his family, especially his nieces and nephews, and values connecting with the Stockton community where he grew up.

Meet the Doctor
Dr. Manny Contreras
Dr. Manny Contreras brings decades of dedication to dentistry and a deep commitment to his community. Born and raised in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, Dr. Contreras was inspired early in his career by watching his cousin, an oral & maxillofacial surgeon, perform transformative procedures. Those shadowing experiences in high school ignited his passion for dentistry and set him on his professional path.
After graduating from Universidad Autonoma de Tamaulipas (UAT), Dr. Contreras immigrated to the United States in 1989, where he completed his licensure and became a California-licensed dentist in 1998. With years of clinical experience and a commitment to excellence, he decided to start his own practice—driven by a vision to provide the highest-quality dental care he'd always dreamed of delivering, while specifically serving his local Hispanic community with the pride and dignity it deserves.
Today, Dr. Contreras is passionate about creating healthy, beautiful smiles and relieving patient pain when it matters most. Outside the office, you'll find him traveling, enjoying music and dancing, or lending his voice to his church choir on Sunday mornings. His patient-centered approach and genuine care for his community make him a trusted provider for families seeking compassionate, skilled dental care.
