Health Screenings

We will be screening all Team members and Patients, daily, to ensure the best health & safety for our practice.  Health questionnaires will be sent to all patients prior to their visit with us.  Patients presenting any symptoms or risk factors of Covid-19 or illness, will be kindly asked to reschedule their visit with us.  Patients will also be asked to wash their hands thoroughly and use antibacterial mouth rinses before temperatures are taken with Non-contact thermometers .  We appreciate your help and understanding with our safety program.

UV Lights & Medical Filters for HVAC

Our office has upgraded our HVAC filters to Medical Grade filters and included UV Lights in our AC units to add another level of protection for our team & patients.

HyperHEPA filtration All Treatment Rooms & Front Office

We have installed Medical/Dental Grade Hepa Air Filters in All treatment rooms as part of our safety program.  The Swiss made IQAir HealthPro Series features HyperHEPA filtration technology for superior airborne particle removal. IQAir's HyperHEPA filtration is tested and certified by an independent third-party lab to effectively filter 99.5% of harmful ultrafine pollution particles down to 0.003 microns in size. This is 100 times smaller than what is achieved with ordinary air filtration technology and 10 times smaller than a virus.

Ultra-fine particles are smaller than 0.1 microns, make up about 90% of all airborne particles, and have been linked to heart attacks, strokes, asthma, and even cancer. IQAir’s HyperHEPA filtration in the HealthPro Series is proven and certified to filter at least 99.5% of all particles down to 0.003 microns – the smallest particles that exist.  We are happy to take our infection control & safety practices to the next level by adding these to our practice.

  • "As always, my experience was wonderful. Pam sets the friendly yet professional tone of the office from the moment you walk through the door. Dr. Martinez performed a lengthy procedure on me today. She did a great job of guiding me through all of the steps and reassuring me along the way. She answered all of my questions and told me to contact her at any time if problems arise. I was, as usual, highly satisfied with my experience."
    Susan Russo
  • "I would highly recommend this office to anyone. The whole experience is first class starting w the waiting room w drinks, snacks, and reading material. The bathroom w mouthwash, toothbrushes, hand lotions. The staff is extremely friendly and professional. They explain everything clearly and the comfort of headphones and watching a TV on the ceiling while they work is awesome! Most importantly they do great work on your teeth! Big THANK YOU to Christie Martinez and her staff!"

  • "Lourdes did my whitening. She was absolutely wonderful. What a sweet and caring soul. Also the results were great. Had no idea my teeth could get this white."

  • "Seeing Pam’s smile is always nice when you walk in. She’s on the ball and very professional. Lynn did a great job cleaning. I felt she took a little extra time to make sure she hit all areas, and not just rushing me through to make room for the next patient. And always checking on me to make sure I was comfortable. :)"

    Wonderful Experience
    Developed an abscess on Thursday. My own dentist's emergency number wasn't working (he doesn't work Fridays so would have been an 'emergency') so had to find a dentist before the weekend. Not only did they say 'come right down,' and I would be seen between patients. However, I was seen immediately. The whole office is very friendly, the dentist very gentle, and I walked out feeling very relieved.

    Best Dentist in town
    I have had several Dentist in my 17 years in San Diego. None have come close to Dr. Martinez and her staff. They have continued to go the extra mile on every visit. I have felt that they made my health and comfort a priority.

    Your Friendly Neighborhood Dentist
    Clean, friendly, professional dental office with some hi-tech equipment. There’s an in-house lab so they can offer same-day inlays and crowns, which means one visit instead of two. That’s convenient! All the doctors and hygienists are gentle and thorough. Dr. Martinez is amazing and Pam at the front desk always makes you feel welcomed. Highly recommend this dental office if your looking.
