I can’t say enough good things about Foundation Dental Specialists! I was referred to them due to a painful tooth infection, and they were kind enough to squeeze me into their schedule. From the minute I walked through the door, everyone made me feel welcome. The entire staff is so friendly, caring, and professional. They even give you a blanket and a heated neck pillow in the exam room!
Dr. Martinez was wonderful. She took the time to explain that my previous root canal, which had been done over 20 years ago, likely needed to be redone. She first treated the infection with antibiotics, which quickly relieved the pain and swelling, I then went back the following week so she could perform the new root canal.
Throughout the entire process, I felt completely confident that I was in excellent hands. Dr. Martinez is knowledgeable, gentle, and compassionate, and she made what could have been a stressful experience so much easier. I’m incredibly grateful to her AND the entire team for the exceptional care I received. I highly recommend Foundation Dental Specialists!

Exceptional practice with amazing oral surgeons and spectacular, efficient, caring and friendly staff. So lucky to have found this amazing team. If you are looking for top implant surgeons and the most wonderful office team you cant beat Foundation Dental. Shout out to Lucy, Christina and Dr Lee what a pleasure to be able to work with them for the perfect smile.

Yesterday I had a DEEP cleaning at Foundation.
My technician was Sam the only male hygienist at Foundation.
He was amazing! Great bed side manner, professional, very gentle and trained for shots making them almost pain free. He explained every procedure and made me feel calm, safe and in good hands. He gave me suggestions on dental care. I am very health conscious and he respected my choices and even injected less meds as per my request and I was still pain free. Its awesome when a dental professional listens, and respects a patient. I am a former trauma dental patient-lots of painful procedures as a young child have left me ultra sensitive still to date. The experience was excellent. I have to go back for more deep cleaning and I chose Sam again for the second treatment!!

Foundation Dental Specialists makes going to the dentist almost fun but no quite. The last time I'm was there Donlyn was my hygienist. She was extremely professional and let me know what was going on. I will definitely use her again. Tomorrow in fact. I highly recommend her.
