Meet Dr. Hafen and Dr. Gonzalez, Your Converse-Area Dental Team
Olympia Hills is led by two experienced dentists with distinct areas of focus that cover the most common needs we see from Converse patients. Both are accepting new patients now.
Dr. Jerame Hafen, DDS

Converse patients considering dental implants will find his approach focused on long-term results over quick fixes and transparency about what to expect at each stage. He also has deep experience in full-mouth restorative work — crowns, bridges, and dentures — alongside general family dentistry for patients of every age.
Dr. Christina Gonzalez, DDS
Certified Invisalign Provider · Sleep Solutions Specialist
Dr. Gonzalez specializes in cosmetic and preventive care. Converse patients considering Invisalign find her evaluations thorough and her explanations clear about what is actually achievable based on their alignment and treatment goals. She is also fluent in Spanish and leads our sleep breathing disorder program for patients dealing with sleep apnea as an alternative to CPAP.
