  • "Dr. Contreras and crew were great!!! I drove 40 minutes just to try out their new location. Definitely worth the drive and was in-and-out pretty quick. He identified the problem and had a filling put in on the spot! I'll be back for cleaning and all other of my routine maintenance." - Patrick
  • "I am what people refer to as an "anxious dental patient." The staff was so friendly and accommodating, and the office is just beautiful. Dr. Contreras was super friendly, and was very kind in explaining what he was doing so I felt comfortable." - Kimberley

Dr. Jesse Whitely

Dr. Jesse Whitely

Dr. Jesse Whitely grew up in Modesto, California. From an early age, he knew he wanted to be a Healthcare professional. Dr. Whitely attended Walla Walla University in the southeast corner of Washington. It was here that Dr. Whitely formed a passion for healthy living and obtained a Bachelor's of Science in health. It was also here that Dr. Whitely met his wife, Joanna. It was love at first sight. They got married and moved to Southern California to attend Loma Linda University School of Dentistry.

Upon graduating in 2010, the family moved to Santa Rosa to begin practicing dentistry and start their new life. After 6 years of private practice, the Whitely family felt a calling for a change and moved to Portland, Oregon where Dr. Whitely began working in a Community Health Clinic. After a short 2 years (and 2 long, wet winters) the Whitely's decided the call of home was too great to ignore and moved back to the sunny foothills of Northern California.

Dr. Whitely enjoys practicing general dentistry. He is thrilled to be able to offer same day crowns, restore implants, do orthodontics with Invisalign, and help take care of patients with a whole body, whole health mentality. Dr. Whitely strives to be the best in his field and continues to educate himself and his staff on the latest techniques that will benefit his patients.

In his free time, Dr. Whitely enjoys spending time with his two daughters, exploring new restaurants with his wife, paddle boarding on the lake, hiking and biking through the Sierras, and watching all of our Nor Cal sports teams.

Dr. Whitely would like to welcome you any time, stop by for a brief chat or call to say hello.
