Aesthetic braces
Clear, gold, and rose gold options for adults and teens who want a discreet finish.
37 years in private treatment rooms — not open-bay chairs lined up by the dozen. Bilingual staff. Multi-generational families.
What we treat
Orthodontic and general dental care — under one roof.
Why our practice?
Dr. Mendivil and a long-tenured bilingual team. Private treatment rooms since 1989 — not open-bay chairs lined up by the dozen.
Our practice
A boutique practice, not a chain.
Dr. Guy Mendivil opened on Bolthouse Drive in 1989. Today, in our 37th year, we still see the children of patients we treated in the late nineties. The rooms are private. The staff is bilingual. The treatment plans are explained before anything starts.
What we treat
Orthodontics-led, with general dental care.
One practice, two categories — orthodontics first, general dental second. Browse the service you came in for, or talk it through at a consultation.
Invisalign
Certified Invisalign and Invisalign Teen provider — 3D scan, no putty.
Traditional braces
Reliable metal brackets, refined over 37 years of practice — for the bites that need them.
TMJ treatment
Roughly 40 TMJ cases a year, often referred by general dentists who don't take them on.
Complex cases
Consultative care and orthodontic continuity for cleft palate and complex bites — surgical phases referred to UCLA.
General dental
Cleanings, preventative care, veneers, and emergency repairs alongside orthodontic care.
Why our practice
Three things that set this office apart.
Said plainly, without the chain-clinic gloss — 37 years of it.
37 years in practice
Continuous since 1989. Multi-generational patient relationships across Bakersfield.
Private treatment rooms
Not open-bay chairs lined up by the dozen. Quieter visits, real privacy.
Bilingual staff
English and Spanish throughout the practice — front desk through chair-side.
Our team
Long-tenured. Bilingual. On a first-name basis.
Most of the team has been here longer than the average orthodontic patient stays in treatment.
