Jeremy Martin DMD - Punta Gorda (FL)

1 /5 Joel Ward: I had a very negative experience with Dr. Martin. In my initial "new patient" exam, he recommended that I have two crowns replaced as some decay was present. I scheduled the work and had it completed. After he fitted the first crown, I noticed that my bite was "off." My teeth were not hitting each other they way they were before the crown was fitted. I returned to have the problem addressed, and he ground down the surface of the new crown. It didnt seem to help. After looking carefully at my bite in a mirror, it seemed to me that the problem was with the two teeth in front of the new crown. This suggested to me that the new crown was made too short. Dr. Martin ground down one of the forward teeth, and that solved the problem. He still did not agree that the crown had been made too short. In spite of this difficulty, I went ahead with the second crown. After fitting, the same thing happened again. Moreover, the change in my "bite" was aggravating a previous TMJ problem. At this point, I decided that Dr. Martin just wasnt going to be able to solve this problem. I found a TMJ specialist in Ft. Myers and am now undergoing splint therapy to address the pain associated with the TMJ disorder. Im not an expert, but it seems to me that Dr. Martin failed to properly create and fit these crowns. Otherwise, let me say that he seems like a nice guy and seems to have done a good job filling a cavity. His staff was really good and, in fact, the temporary crown which was fitted by his hygienist didnt cause any problems at all. But I would not recommend having Dr. Martin do a crown.

5 /5 Pauline LaCombe: I had my first appointment with Dr Martin today. I have had many dentists since I have moved many times in my 56 years. If your looking for a thorough dentist that is caring and has excellent clinical knowledge, look no further. The staff is also very caring. Punta Gorda should be so grateful that we have this gem!

5 /5 Dr. John Cross: Dr. Martin is the BEST! He and his team provide competent and compassionate care to their patients. Dr. Martins calming demeanor helps put those of us with dentophobia at ease! I cannot recommend him highly enough!

5 /5 Jed Andrews: As a retired dentist who practiced in DC with my dad (both Georgetown School of Dentistry and Medicine grads), I can’t recommend Dr. Martin highly enough. We have very similar approaches to treatment—both conservative as well as thorough. His staff is superb, and the whole visit is amazingly seamless. His hygienist Darian not only gave me the most complete and painless prophylaxis I’ve ever had, but even put up with my many questions, since dentistry has evolved so much since I retired. What more can I say? I’d give Smiles of Punta Gorda six stars if I could.

5 /5 Kaylee Kale: Amazing team here! Dr. Martin, Jenny, Mary, Linda, Niparath and especially Darla. Always smiling, kind and making me and my children feel at ease. They are great with the kids and do wonderful work. My children have no problem going in! Darla always greets us by name and calls us ahead of time for reminders and opportunities to come in at an earlier time. When I had severe pain that had me crying, Dr. Martin was able to see me that day! I cannot say one bad thing about this group of people and the work they do!
