1. Whats your favorite memory or moment with a patient? There have been many great memories, but one time I had a twelve or thirteen year old boy with severely peg and pointed front teeth. Kinda like a cat. He was too young for definitive crowns or veneers, but plenty old to be teased at school and worry about them. We did some direct, tooth colored resin , veneers on his front 6 teeth. When we finished and I showed him a mirror his first sentence was, I look real. His mom cried. I did too. The young man was so happy. It was the first time that I truly realized how dentistry can change some ones life.
2. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go, and who would you take with you? I would definitely take my wife. She is my rock and the foundation that keeps my life in balance. I have been truly blessed by her. Where would we go? A two month sabbatical in Australia. Great barrier reef, Sydney, the outback, etc. High on the current bucket list.
3. What are your favorite things to do during your free time? During my free time I love to hunt and fish. Ive got some great buddies that I do both with and my kids are becoming good little anglers themselves.
4. What is one skill or talent you always wanted to have? True musicians have an ear. They can hear something and play it. Like ajazz manimprovising around the cords. I could read music, but I neverhad the ear. Its a talent I wished I had.
5. As a little kid what did you dream of becoming as a grown up? I think apediatrician. My dad worked awfully hard physically as an electrician and always planted the seed of a more white collared profession. I also think he felt they made a lot of money too.
7. What would your first thought be if you learned that you won the lottery? My family would be secure and that I couldnow help more people. Id also payoff our churches debt. Its a big drag on our congregation.
8. If I take a look inside your refrigerator, what would I find? Nothing, my wifes flower beds look great but the cupboards are bare. Please send food, the kids and I are starving!!!! Our freezer has 9 gallons of frozen fish chum that I didnt use last summer. My wife is very tolerant.
10. Whats your favorite quote, and why? Some men fish all their lives, and never know what they seekOutdoor pursuits tieus toour world, our ancestry, and our heritage. There is balance, harmony, and peaceon the water and in the woods. Fish dont care what you do for a living, how much you make, or how many hours you put in.One has to enter their world, slow down and fool themevery once in awhile.

I cannot recommend them enough! I have HORRIBLE dental anxiety and they were so kind and understanding, even when I was acting like a scaredy-cat . Go see them you won't be disappointed!

I visited this place a while ago to change silver fillings to white fillings and I got home and noticed some of the silver fillings were still on my tooth the lady didn't clean it that good. My two bottom left molar's had a bad taste and hurts when I eat so I thought it was normal, I visited another dentist and I asked why my teeth were hurting and have bad taste and they checked it and found out I had two leakages so I got it re-done and there's no more hurting and bad taste.

Excellent doctors and staff, they make sure you're incredibly comfortable and understanding of all procedures. They're also very accommodating of my high anxiety associated with dental work, providing medications/services to ease stress before appointments. Love them!!

Dr. Martin and Staff are the best. I have had excellent service for me and my family for many years. The friendly and caring attitude is why I wont use anyone else. I even got a call back after hours in the past from Dr. Martin himself when I had an urgent issue. They are very thorough and do a great job. There is even a treasure box for the kids when they finish their appointment. My 11 yr old still gets a treasure :) They treat you like family..I highly recommend this office...

Amazing! I had previously gone to a different dentist who had made me feel extremely uncomfortable and they were very unprofessional, all around it just wasn't a good experience. But Anthony Martin Dentistry was great! Everyone is extremely friendly, they make sure to address any of your concerns, they explain and educate you instead of using scare tactics like some will. I couldn't be happier. I will definitely be returning!

Easiest 5 Star review I've ever given. When I looked for dentist and found Dr. Martin , his reviews were impressive. I must say though going through the experience of visiting his office impressed me even more than his reviews. In the last year I've had a root canal, multiple crowns and filings done. Here are some things I've come to truly value about Dr Martin's office: 1.) Very clean, professional and prompt 2.) His front staff, specifically Kathy, is always kind and accurate with her estimated costs 3.) His dental assistant Stacy is incredibly kind and every time I visit she makes me feel relaxed, and completely trustworthy of everything she's doing in my mouth 4.) Dr Martin himself is a really fun and incredibly talented dentist. He plans procedures by amount of time and I've never been in the chair longer than estimated. That always impresses me. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DENTIST OFFICE!

This was my first time here since we just moved to the area 6 months ago but my hygienist was very thorough in cleaning my teeth and Dr. Martin is very nice. I will be back and I'm so glad I found a great dentist on my first try!
