What We Offer

Personalized and Comfortable

Pediatric Dental Care

Preventive Care

Routine appointments and preventive care are the heart of optimal dental health. During your child's bi-annual visits, we’ll perform a comprehensive exam, take any necessary x-rays, and professionally clean your child's teeth to keep your smile looking and feeling its best.

Frenectomies

Our frenectomy procedures remove the frenum, a thin piece of tissue found under the tongue or the upper gums beneath the upper lip, which can hinder teeth and jaw development, speech, and a poor latch for breastfeeding.

Special Needs Care

Our pediatric dental staff has undergone unique training to ensure that we can deliver the very best care to kids who need a little bit of extra attention and help while being mindful and accommodating of any conditions from behavioral to sensory.

Hear From Our Happy Patients!

L. Wasley

"I give them 5 stars but would give a million. I have had a long history with Dr. Martinez prior to him opening Big Apple. He’s always been one of my most favorite humans which is a lot to say about a dentist. He is genuine and gentle and simply amazing. After his departure from a previous practice and experiencing another bad experience I had to track him down. From opening the door to Big Apple it felt different than any other place it felt like a home. Everything was explained to me as it needed to be. I highly recommend this place."

Stephanie N.

"My oldest child has special needs and really struggles with dental care. Dr. Martinez and his staff is so kind, patient, and understanding with her. They’re flexible and they go to HER and meet her where she is. They have made so much progress with her and her fears and I am so grateful we found this office! We will not go anywhere else! The dental office is pristine, great front office and back office staff, and fun toys and things to help the kids feel welcome and at ease."

Bri F.

"From our first visit Dr. Martinez has been absolutely awesome! We love that our son isn’t scared of the dentist but instead looks forward to his 6 month appointments! We also love that we can call weekends, nights etc if we ever need anything."
