I absolutely love Martin Dentistry! From the moment you walk in the door you feel welcome. Every single staff member is so friendly and kind. The doctors are amazing. No nonsense, straight talking, no BS and very knowledgeable and caring. I highly recommend them if you like this type of patient centered care and respect. I used to dread going to the dentist, but this office changed that completely. They truly put their patients' comfort and time first. read more

My Wife got a Root Canal done and he took GREAT care of her during AND after! Clean office, and Patient room's! Very Affordable, Honest, and Good Work! We WILL be coming back! read more

This dental office is amazing! From my phone consultation to my in-person front desk interaction with Carol who is amazing and so welcoming at the front desk! Speaking to Dr. DAX and the gentleman who handles the financial conversations! No additional pressure was applied! The number one priority was to relieve my pain. The price quotes were reasonable and not CRAZY!! I found out that Martin Dentistry does really try to work with you financially and that means so much in this crazy economy! So many dentists take advantage and I didn't feel any pressure to book anything else until I was ready! They made me feel like family! My parents are both patients here, and now I understand why they recommended it! Because of this, I drive from Hayward to Stockton for my dental care because I trust Martin Dentistry! I don't know about you but trust is everything in my book! I will definitely be back for more updates on my upcoming visits! Thank you Martin Dentistry for being one of the good ones! read more

During a tooth extraction, an existing crown became dislodged and was swallowed. No throat barrier or protective device was in place. While I was gagging, the dentist yelled at me to swallow and stated that if I inhaled the crown, I could die. There was no controlled or clinical response to the incident, no explanation afterward, and no acknowledgment of the seriousness of what had occurred. At the same appointment, the dentist was not wearing a mask while working directly over me. While speaking, a large droplet of saliva entered my mouth from his. At two separate visits prior to this, I raised concerns that dental floss was catching and breaking between my teeth. These concerns were dismissed and attributed to improper flossing technique, without further evaluation. A few days after my most recent visit, the crown in that area fractured. More recently, I was fitted for a lower partial denture. The appliance was placed without checking my bite using articulating paper, without assessing or adjusting for high spots, and without evaluating pressure areas or clasp fit. The clasp is currently digging into my gum tissue rather than seating properly against the tooth, causing discomfort and raising concerns about potential tissue injury. Across multiple visits, communication was minimal. Procedures were performed without explanation, and concerns I raised were not meaningfully addressed. Based on these experiences, I have serious concerns regarding patient safety, infection control, and standards of care at this office. I would strongly advise others to reconsider seeking dental treatment here. read more

I honestly don't see why Martin Dentistry would even have 1 bad review. This place is amazing! Never has going to the dentist ever been a thing we've wanted to do until coming here! They are amazing!!!! Front desk staff are all so welcoming & friendly! After the second visit they already remember you and really just treat you like family here. They always have a lil basket with pens and you get to take one home. Their waiting area is always clean! They have a water machine. Dr Martin is informative, he tells it to you straight! He doesn't do a service if he absolutely doesn't think you need it. He's very straight forward and nice! He made my daughter feel so safe and comfortable at her appointment. He's made my mom who's been scared of the dentist for 10 years now due to a root canal gone wrong years ago.. he makes her happy to come in! (Her first visit I had to hold her hand the entire time but after they did the work, she was completely happy!) she doesn't feel any pain. He made her comfortable. Gave her small talk. Martin Dentistry is amazing! I highly recommend if you're in area and looking for a dentist. Just to note they do not accept Medical patients. read more

See all

Martin dental is exceptional. I truly mean it. 44 years of dental phobia gone in one visit.

This was my first time coming to a new dentist and I was recommended by the dental hygienist, Jessica, who is a dear friend of mine. I have major dentist anxiety to the point I will be shaking and on the verge of tears but the doctor and nurses made me feel so calm. They were so kind and professional. I'm actually looking forward to my next cleaning :) Jessica was amazing. Very calming during my teeth cleaning which I wasn't surprised because she's an angel. read more

Dax, Is the best dentist I have ever been too. I have been going to his office many years. He is a man of integrity and strong faith. He is very gentle. Thank you again Dr. Dax read more

Martin Dentistry - Flowers - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Stockton, California

Dr. Doug Martin needs to let his God-like complex go. He is not a holistic dentist or uses holistic practices as advertised, not even close. It was the most unprofessional & uncomfortable situation/visit I have ever encountered in 55 years. Don't ever listen to any medical professional who does not allow you to question, any type of treatment or procedure. It's your body, you're right, to ask questions and get a professional response. (After all, that's what you hire them for). Dentists are a business, you render services too. They work for you, you don't answer to them. Further action other than Yelp with be addressed as I'm sure you will be hearing from the ADA and Dental board for this behavior that took place. This treatment should never happen to anyone ever again, especially to a diabled woman with recently discovered cardiac issues. Shame, Shame, Shame on you Dr. Doug Martin, your behavior was appalling to say the least "The staff was amazing and apologetic. read more

If I could give a zero (0) rating to Dr. Douglas Martin's Dentistry, I would. After several years of my entire family being patients of Dr. Martin, we feel compelled to finally leave his practice and seek another dentist. During our years, there have been incidences here and there that were inappropriate, but as a family, we've overlooked those, tolerated, and continued to give them a chance. Now, as I look back, our family should have left a long time ago. Today is when we draw the line. My daughter had an appointment for a routine teeth cleaning, as well as a consultation for a possible tooth implant. We received the most inappropriate, disrespectful and unprofessional treatment. Dr. Doug first approached my daughter and asked about her college. He was rude when he proceeded to tell her that he feels bad for her for attending this university and continued to put the school down. This was not the first time he bad mouthed her university. She worked extremely hard to get into this prestigious college and Dr. Doug had no business insulting her. This is uncalled for, hurtful, and simply NOT okay. Although he is entitled to his own opinion, keeping those personal thoughts to himself would be the most appropriate thing to do. This is completely unacceptable as his opinion about her university has nothing to do with dentistry. Dr. Doug continued to make rude comments stating that the retainer with a false tooth in my daughter's mouth was "ugly." These exact words were very insensitive. Her retainer was made and came from her orthodontist, Dr. Baughman, whom Dr. Doug referred. Dr. Doug negatively criticized the work of another and insulted my daughter, which was extremely unprofessional. Dr. Dax, Dr. Doug's son, who works in the same office, came into the conversation to offer his advice on a specific type of implant that he suggested for my daughter. Dr. Doug disagreed with his suggestion and they argued about which dental implant was the best for my daughter right in front of her. My daughter felt uncomfortable and became confused as to what implant would be best. She told both doctors that I (her parent) was in the waiting room waiting for the teeth cleaning to be done and explained that I wanted to be part of the consultation. Dr. Doug replied that since my daughter was 18, she could make the decision on her own. How could she make an informed decision when both dentists could not even agree? His comment was very insensitive as the possibility of a tooth implant is a serious procedure and the funding for this implant would come from my insurance and me. Upon hearing that he wanted her to make the decision on her own, I respectfully asked to speak to Dr. Doug. He proceeded to tell me what he thought was the best option for my daughter. He told me that as a father, he sent Dr. Dax to the best school for dentistry, but one of the professors brainwashed Dr. Dax into believing that a different type of implant was better. Therefore Dr. Doug strongly suggested we follow his own advice, not Dr. Dax. Dr. Doug continued to offer yet another option which would be a stay plate, a partial denture. He said this was what one of his sons has and has no problems with it. I asked if insurance covers stay plates. Dr. Doug said that insurance would cover it, but Dr. Sky, Dr. Doug's other son and dentist, came into the conversation and said that insurance most likely would not cover it. This is another example of conflicting information given right in front of us. Dr. Doug made a comment that Dr. Sky sometimes sits in on meetings and should not. Then Dr. Doug replied, "Why does it matter if insurance covers it? Who cares? It's so cheap--$300 to $400." I answered, "I care, that's a lot of money as I am putting two children through college at one time." Dr. Doug responded, "Well, I put 6 kids through college, but then again, I make more money than you." Upon hearing this, I was extremely appalled and could not understand why anyone would treat his patients so rudely and unprofessionally. A person can make a lot of money, but kindness does not cost a thing. Being sensitive of others and being kind is what's most important. Kindness was not happening today in that office. Dr. Doug is extremely ill mannered, unprofessional, with a negative attitude and does not care about the well being of his patients. No one should be treated rudely in this manner. I do not recommend anyone to go to this dentist. Please beware and accept this as a warning! There are other exceptional dentists in our area who treat patients with dignity and respect, Dr. Doug Martin is clearly not one of them. read more

Love the Martin dentistry staff. They always treat me like family and make a personal connection with me and my kids. I had a sharp pain in my tooth and even during covid closure they where able to get me in quickly and solve my problem. I would never go anywhere else for dental care. read more

I have been going to Martin Dentistry all my life. Their level of skill amazes me and everyone is so nice. I had my molars taken out and Dr. Doug took them out like magic. I seriously didn't know he was taking them out till I saw them of the tray. Dr. Dax is also extremely skilled and has amazing chair side manner. They are very casual and real. They are personable and talk to you like real people. I feel that they are transparent and trustworthy. They don't recommend treatments that I don't need. read more

Year after year my family members and I had poor experiences with Dr. Doug Martin both in a professional manner (i.e, procedures, recommendations) and with personal matters (i.e, rude, inappropriate). We are all so much happier now that we've sought out other dental practices. read more

Very nice dentist very nice staff. But you get into the rooms and the stainless steel table trays are covered with sticky shelf paper form the 70's and there are plastic bins of files stacked where you can see them. It put me off. read more

My family and I have been going to Martin Dentistry for over 20 years and we have been extremely satisfied over the course of those 20 years. We have been able to maintain personal relationships with the employees and enjoy seeing them for our biannual cleanings. Today I went in for my routine cleaning and was welcomed with open arms (literally) by Karla, the RDA for Dr Dax. It's so refreshing to feel like a member of the family seeing as most everyone who is employed there are all related somehow. Anywho, they're all amazing. Special shout out to Melody who has worked for Martin Dentistry for as long as I can remember. This really is a special establishment. I highly recommend transferring all your dental records here and making Martin Dentistry part of your annual routine! read more

Great dentist. Friendly staff. Polite. And does a great job doing their job. Thanks everyone.

I made an appointment and they got me in the next day. Other dental offices were booked till December. They let you know the upfront cost before any procedures. Great staff Awesome doctor. read more

I went to Dr. Doug for a gum graft. They were so understanding about my fears (and tears) and changed plans to accommodate me and sedate me. The gum graft went well and they made sure someone was able to drive me home afterward. For my second gum graft I ended up needing to see them for some follow-up care and saw Dr Dax. He was so kind and addressed my needs immediately, following up afterwards to make sure my healing progressed nicely. I was very fortunate to have such kind and experienced dentists to take care of me. read more

Doctor Dax has been my dentist for years. He even came in after hours to help me with an extraction that had a dry socket. I've never had any troubles with thier billing of prices. Also the staff there is awesome. Carol at the front desk is always a sparkling part of my day when I need to have anything done there. I highly recomend them for any procedures you may need. My brother had an implant done by Dr. Dax a few years ago and hasn't had a problem with it at all. His recovery time was phenominal as well. Hopefully, soon, I'll be getting one as well to replace my problem extraxted tooth. read more

Not a good experience! I was charged $365 for an X-ray! No work was done the old man kept talking to me about a movie he watched on Netflix instead of working on my teeth , one hour past I had to leave cause I didn't think he was a professional dentist! read more

My extraction literally took 10 minutes. The most painful part was the small pinching while Dr. Martin was numbing me. I honestly never had a more pleasant experience while someone was literally pulling my teeth. He definitely knows what he's doing. I'm upset I didn't have him before. I don't have to dread going back for the other work I need to get done. read more

Dr.'s Martin (yes there are two) are AMAZING!!!! First and foremost the amazing staff are kind, friendly, and welcoming. From the moment you walk in the door you feel safe and welcome (very odd for a dentist office right?) This is a family run business and it shows by the pride the staff takes in their work and facility. My service was lightening quick, and nothing less then one of the most positive dental experiences I have even heard of! Almost like a fairytale! I was told (by another dentist) I was going to lose my bottom 4 teeth if I got a deep scale cleaning (which I needed desperately) so I put it off. Dr Dax was so positive and optimistic and re-assured me that my teeth would be fine. He confirmed my suspicions that I had some major work that needed to be done (I hadn't been to a dentist in 10 years, eek!) But his positive attitude and gentile demeanor made me feel like "Okay I can do this, and it is not going to be a disaster." I went in for my procedure the next day and again the staff put me at ease immediately! Dr. Dax knew I had anxiety about dental work so he did a form of conscious sedation! (AMAZING) I was awake but I still to this day can tell you nothing about the procedure that took place that day. (I can only flash my wonderful smile and know how successful it was) He even let me wear my iPod during the long procedure to again aid in keeping my nerves at ease. He worked diligently (and gently) and successfully repaired the years of damage and neglect in my mouth! When all was said and done, I was a little groggy and Dr. Dax walked me out to the waiting room to meet my ride, HIMSELF! I got his cell phone number in case of any questions or concerns (unheard of!) As well as a care package with special instructions for care afterward. (totally helpful!) I have to thank Dr.'s Martin (both Dr. Douglas, and Dr. Dax) Your office environment and skill have alleviated all anxiety I will ever have in the future about ANY dental work I may need done. I actually look forward to my follow up appointments! I now travel almost 128 miles each way (from Fresno to Stockton) specifically to be seen in this practice! So thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving my teeth and restoring my beautiful smile which I am now PROUD to show all over! read more

This place is great! My boyfriend is afraid of needles and has been putting off getting two teeth removed. Dr Dax got him in the next day and was amazing! They did a great job and in a timely manner! Awesome place full of great people! read more

This was my second visit to see Dr. Dax Martin and i have to say although I hate going to the dentist, I absolutely love this place and the doctors. Having a family atmosphere and modern office, it takes the fear out of visiting the dentist. I needed a crown and filling in the two visits and Dr. Dax and his assistant Carla did an awesome job! They are funny to listen to and make the experience more pleasant. I have had the pleasure of meeting all three doctors, Dr. Doug, Dr. Dax, and Dr. Sky, and they are all very friendly and professional. Places like this are rare and for me a great find...highly recommend! read more

Martin Dentistry - Dr. Dax Martin at Martin Dentistry - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Stockton, California

The best Dentist visit I've had to date! Great team here at Martin D.D.S. I highly recommend going! Multiple extractions for me today and as he started to numb my area of work I couldnt believe that I wasn't feeling him stick the needle in at all. I was in and out back to my day like that. Only thing is I'm from Wa State so now im committed to a long distance trip because I wont go anywhere else now. Thank you Doctor Martin and the entire team, it was a great experience for once!! read more

Dr. Dax has been my husband`s and my dentist for years, always professional, kind and often going out of his way to help and offer valuable advice. I used to have a problematic root canal which all of my previous dentists didn`t help me with the way I wished for and I had some issues with it for years. Dr. Dax solved my root canal problems on my second visit and now for couple of years, the tooth feels and looks like a new and healthy one. Also the staff is always very helpful and polite and the whole environment is friendly yet professional. The best dentist and dentistry I have ever had. read more

I hadn't gone to a dentist in years due to previous bad experiences and lack of insurance. I bought and redeemed a Groupon back in June and had such a great time. Jackie, the dental hygienist, was thorough and made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. Since the X-ray machine was down, I just had an oral exam by Dr. Douglas Martin. He patiently explained what I needed to do to ensure good oral health and showed me the correct way of brushing and flossing. None of my previous dentists did that. I didn't know I was doing them incorrectly all these years. I left with a bag of goodies and felt like a happy child on Halloween. I just went back for a 3 month checkup this morning and was assisted quite quickly. My teeth are much better, thanks to their previous recommendations. I had Jackie again and she was great. I will definitely ask for her at my next appointment. Thank you Groupon for helping me find such a wonderful group of people. read more

The Martin Dentistry took me in as an emergency appointment for an extraction; through 1-800 dentist. Dr. Sky Martin is very Professional took his time going over everything and making sure you are comfortable before starting and even while working on you. He was very gentle and quick. I personally hate going to the dentist and this experience has really impressed me by the service and work they do there. Great, friendly team. read more

These guys are the best dentists I have ever been to. The doctors do the cleanings unlike every other dental office I've been in. They are professional and know their stuff. They are reasonable and will work with you financially. I have been treated by both Dr Sky and Dr Dax. Both are a hoot and they respect your time trying to get you in and out quickly while making sure you know exactly what's going on. These guys are the best! read more

BEST DENTIST EVER!! First and foremost they met my every dental need. They have the greatest rapport amongst each other and their clients. Something I rarely see at a dentist office. They are very personable and put the client's needs first. I called Martin Dentistry after I chipped my front tooth. Michael was great in calling me back and squeezing me in for an emergency appointment. Dr.Dax and his assistant Karla are the best!! They're both very knowledgable and precise in giving great dental work. Dr. Dax really listened to me with my concerns and need for straight teeth. He was able to provide a few options but I decided to go for a few extractions and a porcelain bridge. They kept me "in the loop" throughout the entire process. I went from snaggle tooth to straight teeth in just a few months. During the process I broke my temporaries twice and on both occasions Dr. Dax was able to accommodate me. The first time I broke my temporaries he had to come after hours on a Saturday (the same day as his daughters birthday party). He was really sweet in not making me feel like my presence was a burden. All in all this is the best dental work I've ever had and am extremely satisfied. Other dental offices are just trying to do quick fixes or have such high costs but at Martin Dentistry they really try to listen to what you need and work with you financially. I have zero complaints and recommend this office to anyone in need of dental work. read more

Thank you so much for taking my mother in law in an emergency. This poor woman was in excruciating pain. I called you in the evening and you got her in the very next day, otherwise she would have had to wait through the weekend because nobody would see her. Thank you Michael for getting her in so quickly. Then we meet the Jolly Dr. Martin who was a sweetheart, he removed the tooth and mom didn't even know it. I am absolutely changing from the dentist I see to Dr. Martin. Totally awesome staff that goes out of their way to accommodate you. Excellent Dentist. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Your office is awesome and totally rocks. Cathy Martinez read more

I must say i have been to quite a few dental offices in my lifetime. So with that being said if i could give this office and staff an even higher rating i definitely would. I was recommend to Martin Dentistry and from the time i made the phone call to be seen (that day because i was in excruciating pain) until present day they all have been absolutely wonderful. They make you feel so comfortable and talk you through everything. You can feel they truly care about you. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. read more

This place is great I had major mouth work done and I'm telling you everyone there is amazing from Carol that greats you with a smile to Mike who set this all up for me and then the care from Dr Martin's assistants Helen who assisted during my surgery to Jessica who has assisted in every visit with genuine care of my well being and then comes Dr Martin he is really amazing can't say enough good things about this office. Thank you read more

Martin Dentistry is awesome. My first visit was for an emergency and they took care of me. Very attentive and even checked on me later. I had a root canal which used to be my biggest fear. It was painless. Never ever experienced that. They treat you like family. The best dental office by far. You want the best go to Martin Dentistry. You will love them as much as I do. read more

Excellent dentists! I drive many miles to bring my kids and self here for dental work. Dr Martin is the BEST dentist! Very knowledgeable on many procedures!! My children actually LOVE coming to the dentist now. I thank him and his staff for treating my family with care and making my kids feel comfortable. read more

Ive been coming here for years. The staff here is very friendly and they great me by my name as soon as i walk in the door. All of the doctors here are kind and know exactly what they are doing! I would recommend this dentist office to anyone! read more

Do yourself and your teeth a favor and do not go here! I went in for some fillings, and while the staff was nice, the work that was done on my teeth was terrible. Since these fillings were done, I have not been able to eat using the entire left side of my mouth. I have been in pain for months and now have to go to another dentist to correct his work. When I tried to tell him about my pain he dismissed everything I was saying. It seems as though he didn't believe me. I had told him multiple times and he tried to recommend a root canal, which I don't need and which would have been much more expensive. I am in the process of trying to get a refund for my money on the terrible job he did. Please do not go here. read more

I've been getting my teeth worked on here for decades. These people are the best in the business. My teeth feel so clean after that I almost don't want to eat anything so I can keep them that way! Family owned I think. Nice area for the munchkins to play in. read more

I am surprised by the other glowing reviews. I had a 7 year old that had two pretty bad cavities and it was her first trip to the dentist. I was referred to this location by 1-800-DENTIST as a pediatric dentist office. If this is something that you are looking for, I would say that the surroundings are not necessarily child friendly but perhaps the older MD has had some specialized training. The exam/treatment rooms were not truly separate. I could hear the business of the people on the other side of the partition as I'm sure they could hear ours - so not very private. I also found the office to be somewhat outdated. During the time that I was there for a pre-procedure appt and D-Day, I heard numerous conversations. It seemed that many of the patients had no insurance and they really put the pressure on the patients to beg, borrow, or steal - very hard sell. The older Dr. Martin told me not to speak to her during the procedure. "I can't have moms babying their children or they won't listen to me". Being her first dental experience, my daughter really fought getting the shot and wouldn't sit still for him. Whatever he'd given her to relax, didn't work. He later told me that she was tall for her weight and that must have been why. He was very inpatient, yelling at her and I (and I never said a peep)! I know that many mothers would have taken her out of there and ran but I felt that we were there and if we didn't get it done, I'd never get her back in an office and she'd have dentist issues for the rest of her life. She was already half-drugged so I needed to let him finish. He ended up giving her some kind of tranquilizer and did two root canals/crowns. I had to spend over $800 of my own money for tranquilizers. We never went back. Unfortunately, I did get her into another recommended dentist. That dentist told me that she would never have taken such an aggressive action on her teeth and really she would have done something much more minimal. That told me that I was right - they were all about the month. The new dentist was phenomenal and turned what could have been a lifetime of fear into a good ongoing relationship. I wouldn't go back to this office under any circumstances. read more

I broke three front teeth and didn't have a regular dentist when my former Biology teacher recommended Dr. Martin. I have never had a more pleasant experience at a dentist. The entire staff is great and will answer all your questions. He has a no B.S. attitude that is great and cares about his patients. I have a thing with needles, so he gave me something to help calm my nerves before the novacain. He even gives out his cell number in case of emergencies. He always talks to you about interesting subjects as well. The hygienists are great also, very quick. If you have to have some serious reconstruction done, Dr. Martin is the only person I would go to. read more
