google mapDr. Kassandra Gorena knows how it feels to sit in the dental chair, as she spent a lot of time there as a child. Instead of feeling scared, she felt curious. She always wanted to know what her dentist was doing and what would come next. Dr. Gorena went through orthodontic treatment and still remembers the joy she felt seeing her new smile for the first time. Her dentist and orthodontist made a lasting impact on her life. That experience inspired her to do the same for others.
Her path to becoming a dentist began with a Bachelor of Science in biology, which she completed in 2011, along with minors in chemistry and psychology. She then earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the Texas A&M College of Dentistry in 2017. She started practicing the very next month and joined Sabal Dental in 2018.
Dr. Gorena understands that a dental visit can feel intimidating. That’s why she creates a calm space where patients feel welcome, always taking time to listen to their concerns. She treats each person with respect and never rushes their care. Some of her favorite words to hear from a patient are, “I didn’t feel a thing!” Dr. Gorena wants them to leave confident in their smiles, knowing that they were genuinely cared for.
One of the most rewarding parts of her work is helping people move past their dental fear. It means a lot to her when someone walks in nervous and leaves feeling relieved. Her patients often discover that going to the dentist isn’t as scary as they thought. Dr. Gorena also loves working on front teeth, whether it’s crowns or fillings. She enjoys seeing how even a small change can give someone a big boost in their confidence.
Outside the office, Dr. Gorena loves spending time with her husband and their three boys. They enjoy family outings, traveling, and making memories together. When she gets a little time to herself, she likes to shop, watch a good movie, listen to audiobooks, or simply relax.
The staff and hygienist are so kind and understanding. When I need a quick cleaning, they are efficient and get me out with a nice clean smile in 30 minutes ! And Dr Thompson worked well with my PTSD from childhood dental abuse. I’m no longer scared of the big bad needle. I got a crown that didn’t hurt at all! He’s the best !
It was my first time going to a dentist in years and they made it very comfortable for me. They told me step by step what they were going to do before they did it. Made conversation and gave me solid advice. I’d definitely recommend them 🙂
very pleasant appointment! Dr. Stewart and William were awesome! -They both made sure I was comfortable before, during, and after my procedure. The front staff was friendly! I also felt like I was taken care of in a timely manner.
Had a horrible experience with my previous dentist so I decided to try out Sabal dental which was recommended by a few friends. The staff are very attentive and friendly. I had to come back in for a filling 2 weeks after my first appointment and was in and out within an hour pain free. Love Love Love this office!
I called Sabal Dental to schedule an appointment for my mom because she was having tooth pain. Alicia did a great job verifying her insurance & was able to schedule her the same day for X-rays, an exam & a cleaning. Hilda did a great job, my mother felt very comfortable during the cleaning & she could not be any happier with the treatment plan recommended by Dr. Montalvo, we left with the next appointment scheduled. Thank you Sabal Dental for taking good care of my mother.
I’ve been coming here to Sabal Dental for about two years now and I actually look forward to coming here for my dental check ups. I love the fact that they send out reminders and that they also call you, being that I travel they always try to accommodate my schedule. Plus the staff is just awesome. Thanks 👍🏽
I found the staff personable, friendly, and efficient. I was very pleased with my first experience at Sabal Dental. Thanks for an excellent first visit with Jessica, Allison, and Dr. Blankenship.
I have been going to Sabal dental for over a year now. I went in today to have some Crown work performed. Jolene did an excellent job explaining the procedure and what was going to be done to make me feel completely relaxed. Doctor Sperry took her time to make sure that I was comfortable during the whole procedure. I would highly recommend this dental clinic for any work or general cleaning anyone might need.
We can see you as soon as tomorrow!
