Dr. Gomaa is committed to providing comprehensive dental care for patients of all ages, with a strong emphasis on prevention, education, and long-term oral health. Known for his calm and approachable demeanor, he strives to create a positive and comfortable experience for every patient.

Your first visit
Calm, personal, and built around you
From the moment you arrive, we set a calm, unhurried pace. We'll get to know your goals, walk you through what we see, and make sure you leave with a clear understanding of your smile and what comes next — no pressure, no jargon, just an honest conversation backed by thoughtful, advanced care.
Patient Experience
Throughout your visit, our team is focused on hospitality. You will be greeted by name, offered something from our comfort menu, and guided through each step of your visit. We want you to feel like a guest, not a chart number.
What to Bring
To help us make the most of your first appointment, please bring the following:
Advanced technology. Thoughtful comforts.
At Poplar Crossing Dental, we combine modern technology with genuine hospitality to create a more comfortable dental experience from start to finish. From advanced tools that improve precision and efficiency to thoughtful amenities designed around your comfort, every detail is meant to help you feel more relaxed, informed, and cared for throughout your visit.
Comfort menu
Every guest is welcomed with a comfort menu featuring beverages, blankets, towels, and headphones. It is a small detail that signals something bigger: your visit is meant to feel like a break from the day, not an interruption.
TVs in every operatory
TVs in our treatment areas give you something pleasant to focus on while you are in the chair. Paired with headphones, they help you relax and let the time pass easily during cleanings and procedures.

CEREC same-day crown technology
With CEREC, we can design and create crowns in-office instead of relying on weeks of waiting and temporary restorations. It is a faster, cleaner experience that fits the modern pace of life without compromising on fit or quality.
Digital new patient forms
Paperless intake means you can complete your new patient forms from the comfort of home before you arrive. Less clipboard time, more chair-side time, and a smoother start to your visit.
Digital patient engagement tools
We use modern patient engagement and scheduling platforms to keep communication simple, whether you are booking an appointment, confirming a visit, or reaching out with a question. Convenience is part of the care.
After-hours AI phone support
When the office is closed, our AI phone assistant is available to help answer questions and capture your information. You never have to wait until morning to feel heard.
