If you are looking for top-rated dental care for your child from a compassionate dentist, you are in the right place! When choosing a dentist, you should look for one who provides exceptional care, has extensive experience, and uses the latest technology. Our team knows what it takes to provide all this and more! We offer top-notch dental care delivered with consideration for your child's health and comfort. Below are just some of the reasons why patients choose Martin Kids Dental in Gainsville, FL.

Since 1979, our team has helped thousands of patients in the North Florida area transform their smiles. While working on his breakthroughs with airway orthodontics and his focus on peak performance for his patients, Dr. Bill Martin came to realize his passion for the development of children and setting them on a path to the best versions of themselves, or peak performance. Since then, he has incorporated childrens dentistry into the office here in Jonesville and the Gainesville area. Our outstanding doctors are committed to professional improvement and are constantly seeking new technology and continuing education in their field. No matter what your condition may be, our doctors have likely helped a similar patient in their many years of experience. We are happy to show you before-and-after pictures to provide examples of their exceptional results!

Martin Kids Dental is proud to bring cutting-edge technology to our practices. We are one of the only groups in North Florida to offer 3D imaging, and Martin Kids Dental was the first childrens dental office in the United States to have the state-of-the-art, low-radiation iCat FLX technology for digital x-rays.

This modern machinery lets us provide you with instantaneous, detailed, and clear images of your childs teeth and jaw. This, in turn, allows our team to design the most effective treatment possible. Our iCat FLX is also the only low dosage machine in North Florida. At Martin Kids Dental, we value your childs safety and health over all else.

Additionally, we use other technology such as the Trios 3Shape digital scanner and the Nomad digital x-ray. With this cutting-edge technology, we are able to take the most precise images possible and avoid the old, uncomfortable, gooey tray molds to provide you with the most accurate treatment available.

At Martin Kids Dental, we believe parents are a vital component to ensuring children receive the best dental care possible. As a parent, you know your childs needs and limits far better than anyone else, and our 5-star childrens dental offices value your parental input.

At our parent-friendly offices, youre always welcome to join us in the treatment area. We want you and your child to feel completely comfortable throughout your visit to our dental office, and we know that having Mom or Dad in the room is one of the best ways to accomplish that!

A great dentist will stand behind their treatment, and the best way to do that is with a guarantee. Your and your child's satisfaction and health are of the utmost importance at Martin Kids Dental! We are proud to provide premier dental treatment, and our promise to you includes a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

As emergency dentists, we know that dental emergencies can be frightening, especially for children. Our goal is to help you stop any pain and fix any problem as quickly as possible.

We are so grateful to our patients for your generous support and patronage of Martin Kids Dental over the past 40+ years. Because you continue to choose us as your childrens dental office of choice, you provide us with the opportunity to give back to our community and beyond in numerous ways.

We are proud to share our knowledge, skills, and resources in our local community through our own outreach efforts, as well as through donations to a variety of local charities. We also seek to extend our resources throughout the world by participating in an annual mission trip to Ecuador, where we provide dental care to 500-700 children adults a year.

I feel like I was placed on the earth to do just what I am doing. I love being both a student and a teacher, and being an orthodontist gives me the never-ending opportunity to do both. I dont feel I have ever gone to work; its as if I get to practice my hobby every day!

I believe I can make a difference in the lives of my patients by being a good listener and asking good questions. Listening to what parents and patients say allows me to involve them in the treatment. Everyone is unique, and there is no such thing as an ideal treatment for everyone. I feel a team effort is necessary to achieve optimal treatment for each patient.

Loving what I do in our office gives me the energy and desire to study and improve myself. This way, I can deliver great results to those people who make my heart sing every day: our patients and their families.

I grew up in Gainesville, FL, and graduated from Gainesville High School before attending Florida State University for my undergraduate degree. I completed dental school at the University of Florida College of Dentistry and underwent my orthodontic residency at the University of Pennsylvania.

I am passionate about learning new things! After all, this helps me be more effective in giving you or your child a beautiful smile and the confidence you need to succeed in life. I am fascinated at how true the statement more than just a smile is for an incredible orthodontic result. I belong to several study groups and attend conferences regularly in multiple fields, including:

I also love to teach. I am an adjunct professor at the University of Florida College of Dentistry. You will notice I love to teach patients and families what is involved in their treatments, too. I will always encourage your participation in treatment decisions. There is no such thing as one right treatment plan; each person is different, and I want your unique needs and concerns to play a role in your or your childs orthodontic care.

I enjoy volunteering in charity dental clinics with my sons the Gainesville Community Ministries and the Florida Baptist Convention bus are two of our favorites. I am involved in Rotary, and our family has started a dental mission in Ecuador. We spend spring break and a week every summer taking dental students from UF to work with indigenous people with no access to dental care. I feel blessed to have been given a skill that can help people who are suffering from tooth pain. I believe to those who have received a lot, a lot is expected, and I try to live my life accordingly.

As a childrens dentist, I love making trips to the dentist a fun experience. Making children smile and laugh is the best part of my job! I am extremely fortunate that I get to work with children from a young age all the way up to adulthood, as I am a general dentist. Making my patients feel welcomed and comfortable is extremely important to me, and I am very lucky to work in a profession where I get to meet people from all walks of life.

I was born and raised in Bedford, England, and moved to Cocoa Beach, Florida, as a teenager with my family. I earned my dental degree from the University of Florida College Of Dentistry. I truly believe learning is a lifelong process and necessary to provide my patients with quality dentistry. Therefore, I am actively involved in several courses through the Academy of General Dentistry, the Alachua County Dental Association, and the University of Florida Continuing Education program.

My professional memberships help me to stay up-to-date on the most current research and advancements in the fields of general dentistry and childrens dentistry. I belong to the following organizations:

I spend most of my free time and weekends with my family. My husband, Adam, and I are constantly chasing after our twin daughters and spending time outside in our Gainesville community parks and trails. I also like to read, hike, and travel. I especially enjoy dental mission trips. I have been to Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and Ecuador to help create healthy smiles in under-served communities.

Our Gainesville dental office for children is here because we love kids and want to create a great experience for you and your child when you come to the office. We enjoy getting to know you and your child and striving to understand your needs.

Shorty is Dr. Bills dog and he spent a year training to be a certified therapy dog. He is licensed with Therapy Dogs, Inc. and is a Shands Hospital volunteer. He loves kids of all ages, and you probably will see him around the office. Dr. Bill brushes his fur and also brushes Shortys teeth every morning before they come to work. Be sure your teeth are as clean as Shortys!
