“The most amazing experience we have ever had with a dentist! My daughter has major dental anxiety but today I saw a much different kid — relaxed, asking her own questions, and feeling very heard. Dr. Martin, aka The Gentle Giant, really cares about his patients. This is the only place I will ever take my daughter from now on!”

“I was very impressed with the service we received. I brought in my 4-year-old son for a filling and a crown, and from the very first moment everyone was so friendly and helpful. Savannah even watched my 2-year-old while I was in the room with my son. Dr. Martin and everyone around was very communicative and reassuring. I will recommend this place to everyone I know!”

“As usual, the best. Always so welcoming to my crazy kids and they treat them like their own. Savannah and Dr. Smith were great with my youngest, Cassandra and Eleese with my middle kiddo, and Dr. Bolen and Christina were so attentive to my 10-year-old's needs. Will forever recommend Dakota Dental 4 Kids!”
