Orthodontic care in reviews

A small number of reviews touch on orthodontic treatment here, describing an aligner recommended for a crooked lower tooth with unclear insurance pricing and a retainer that another dentist later called unnecessary; one review also mentions braces that broke off on their own.

Gave me a quote for a procedure of 0 dollars. I did the procedure. 2 weeks later got a bill for $570.00. Went for a cleaning. Paid by insurance. When I checked out charged me $205.00 For a gum disease procedure and never told me about it. I have a new dentist. I don't have gum disease.

I had a full set of implants done just over a year ago and am very happy with the entire process from my first consultation to completion. Doctor Martinez and his entire staff are very professional, helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this office if you’re in need of any type of dental services.

Initially I am always skeptical of the dentist. But these past couple visits have been refreshing. Friendly staff. Efficient work without being pushy. I loved it. I would suggest that the emergency call back needs to be a faster response. But beggars can't be choosers. Atleast they have an answering service and I appreciate that.

oh my gosh!!! I’m afraid I can’t adequately express my complete and total relief at finding this dentist! Dr. Martinez and his staff are hands down, absolutely the best in dental care. I have had some horrible experiences over the years that have left me a shaking, terrified mess as soon as I sit down in that chair. Dr. Martinez and his angels treated me with such understanding and empathy I was immediately hopeful that this experience would be different. They worked with me coming up with a plan that eased my fears. Now, having had the work done, I can’t sing their praises enough! Thank you everyone at Gulf Coast Smiles for making this my first good dental experience ever!!
