Yes, I needed a…read moreroot canal *sad face* I am told this office is typically closed on Fridays, but will come in for scheduled cases. And I was able to be scheduled quickly. I was able to fill in new patient forms online prior to coming in. Located in a shared medical office building, the waiting and reception area is small but so clean and beautifully decorated. Most importantly, Dr. Oswald was so friendly and explains every step, making sure I know what is happening and that I am at ease. When I mentioned that I have previously been treated by another more established endodontist in the area, Dr. Oswald spoke highly of the other Dr. the only painful part of the procedure was when the anesthesia was being injected around the tooth, and that is unavoidable. The root canal itself was painless and quick. I did not even have any pain later that afternoon when the anesthesia wore off. Additionally, I had mentioned another area that my dentist had pointed out, involving a previous root canal. He took the time to take and xray and give some advice, totally appreciated. No one wants to have a root canal.. but this office and Dr. Oswald is a great place to go if it does come up!

Him and his staff were so comforting and personable about my pain and making sure I was seen right away. During my root canal he talked me through it because I was so nervous, assured me it was going great, and took an X-ray afterwards to show me exactly what he did. After my procedure once the anesthetic wore off I felt slightly sore, which is to be expected, but my pain was GONE. The next day he even called to follow up which I thought was so sweet! If you're looking for a specialist- this is him. I had no need for OTC meds or anything because he was so gentle and really got rid of the problem. After 24 hrs I feel back to normal! I am so grateful!

But Dr. Hens made the experience easy. My comfort was constantly monitored. They have blankets and pillows. Throughout the procedure, they checked in with me regularly.. Explanations and warnings for every sensation. I did not experience any pain, which is rare for me as Novacaine tends to wear off quickly on me. And from the evaluation to the completed root canal, I never doubted the expertise of the staff and Dr. Hens. They have this cool 3-D image thing and they do the x-rays in your chair so it is much simplified. She also takes the time to explain everything and answer all your questions. I never felt rushed. I have been putting up with a lower standard of care for far too long and I highly recommend this office if you have any insecurities or fears or hesitations about the work you need done. I was told by the dentist that pain proved I needed a root canal. I was also told the endodontist on staff there did not do evaluations. That was not the kind of care I want. I need more than just a flippant explanation. We were talking about removing and excavating a nerve from my head, which happened to be in my molar. So I sought out an endodontist to evaluate my tooth pulp. Dr. Hens was very thorough and I felt comfortable and certain that I needed the root canal after visiting her. It was not about sales. It was demonstrated through imagery and explanation and made complete sense.

At the beginning of my appointment, Dr. Freer did some tests to first determine whether I need a root canal. I definitely needed one! I've never seen technology like this at any other dental studio. They have large tv monitors and small cameras where you can see your tooth up close while they work. The root canal took longer then expected which he later showed me was because I had long curvy roots with some calcification. I could tell he was taking his time to make sure everything was done correctly. He did not rush to finish up and get to the next patient. He seems like he really cares about the quality of his work not the quantity. I'm two days after my appointment and already feel my tooth is back to normal. Thank you!

Once I reached my car, I got a call from the front desk staff letting me know that actually, they could see me today. I was pleasantly surprised, and very appreciative! I was seen by Dr. Mordecai Lightman. I must say, I had some anxiety going into my dental appointment because I hadn't been as on top of my flossing as I should have been. I have been trying to rectify that and reestablish that as a habit, but I was still nervous about what they would say when I arrived. I had even pushed back my appointment once or twice as a result. Thankfully, that anxiety and dread was unfounded. Dr. Lightman was SO kind and nonjudgmental. He really took his time on my teeth, was very gentle, explained every aspect of my care, and even took the time to double check that I knew how to floss correctly and showed me how flossing should feel like. He was a delight to chat with as well! I am sad that he's generally retired and only picks up here and there. He's a true gem of a human and a gift to the practice. I wish I could have him every time! Everyone I have encountered at this practice is incredibly kind, patient, and thorough. I couldn't recommend this dental office enough :').

I had my 7 year old with me and they reassured me I can have him in the dental office too. (Kid friendly!) since my son was waiting with me while I was getting a procedure done, the other ladies were very nice to charge my phone and change his seat to a comfy one! Grateful for the extra care given :) My dental assistant was Jenny and from the get, she was extremely careful and very sweet. I told her I was in pain and she was very quick to help and make sure I was comfy. I also had the newest Dentist, Dr. Rice. (Former resident at a veterans hospital).

To lay the foundation, we had previously been patients of what we considered the finest dentist ever, Dr. Yuri Kaneda in Bonita. Unfortunately, she retired last year, and we had been searching for someone we could trust to provide the same level of care. Thankfully, we feel like we struck gold after being referred by my former hygienist. I first contacted Dr. Martin's office about five months ago and was warmly greeted by Anetra. She confirmed that Dr. Martin accepted our insurance and was accepting new patients. She kindly made appointments for both my wife and me and also helped us get set up on their website so we could complete our registration online before our first visit. Anetra was helpful, professional, and welcoming throughout the entire process. We also love that Dr. Martin's office is less than a mile from our home! Fast-forward to our appointments. I had Jennifer as my hygienist, while my wife had Shannon. Both were familiar with our previous dentist and my former hygienist, which immediately helped us feel comfortable. They were friendly, thorough, and had a gentle touch while cleaning our teeth. Most importantly, we felt the same level of comfort and confidence that we had with our previous dental office. Then we met Dr. Martin, and our confidence only grew. He was incredibly friendly and professional, took the time to update our dental charts, and pointed out things about my teeth that I had never been made aware of before. We couldn't have been happier with our experience or more confident about becoming part of the Dr. Martin patient family! One thing we really don't like about some dental offices is feeling like you're just a number--a patient being moved through the office as quickly as possible, where quantity seems to take priority over quality. We also appreciate a practice that doesn't pressure patients into unnecessary or unexpected services, such as sealants, fluoride treatments, panoramic X-rays, or sensitive-gum treatments, particularly when those services may not be necessary or covered by insurance. Thankfully, we experienced none of that at Dr. Martin's office. We never felt pressured by Dr. Martin or any member of his staff. Instead, we felt that if a service were ever recommended, it would be because it was appropriate for our dental needs and would be clearly explained to us beforehand. That level of transparency is exactly what builds trust. We don't know if Dr. Martin's office is still accepting new patients, but if you're looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely caring dental practice, we couldn't recommend Dr. Martin and his team with greater confidence. We truly feel blessed to have found them and hope they'll be taking care of our smiles for many years to come!
