Gilberto Olague, DDS

Dentists in Banning don’t always feel like an afterthought. Gilberto Olague, DDS sits on the west edge of town where the strip malls thin out and the San Gorgonio foothills start to rise—3559 W Ramsey St STE C1, just past the auto-parts store and the taqueria with the red awning. The spot is quiet enough that you can hear the occasional freight train rumble through the pass while you wait in the car; inside, the routine of cleanings, fillings, and crowns keeps moving without fanfare.

Routine, though, doesn’t mean rushed. The practice handles everything from basic exams to root canals and extractions, plus the occasional emergency that walks in mid-morning. Pediatric check-ups and simple orthodontic assessments round out the schedule, so families from the nearby elementary school often book back-to-back slots. The office stays small enough that you usually see the same hygienist each time, which most people around here seem to prefer over a revolving door of white coats.

If the drive from downtown takes longer than expected, give them a ring at (951) 922-3993 to let them know you’re running late; they’ll shuffle the schedule without making you feel like you’ve ruined the day. For directions, pull up the map here and follow the blue line past the last traffic light.
