I’m so happy to have found this dental practice. After experiencing dental trauma years ago, I’ve never looked forward to dental visits. This practice is amazing! My hygienist, MacKenzie is the best, and Dr. Martin has always been kind and caring when working with me. My experience here has always been great!

I’ve been going to Balcones Dental for years, and I have to say I’m thoroughly enjoying all the positive changes since Martin Dental Group took over. I had a crown done today, and the entire experience was fantastic. The procedure was quick, completely painless, and I was in and out much faster than I expected. As an added bonus, it ended up costing less than I originally thought! The entire team took great care of me, and I really appreciate how smooth and comfortable they made the visit. Thank you for such excellent care!!
I've been to a few different dentists before, and this is my favorite. They are friendly, helpful, and experienced. When I get my teeth cleaned, it feels the hygienists are comfortable in their job. My kids had a good time also. Most recently I had Adrian, and am thankful for his knowledge and his expertise in cleaning. He cleaned well with a controlled use of the cleaning devices. Dr. Martin is great as well, and provides what is needed.
Excellent service. Streamlined communication. Friendly and efficient front desk. My dental hygienist, Avery is the man. Always considerate of my sensitive teeth when cleaning. He gives me honest, candid yet supportive and non judgmental feedback on keeping my dental practices aligned. Great team and excellent dentistry
Update as of July 24th, so Dr Martin called me, explained everything, when I went in for the crown before the procedure showed me pictures of my tooth and the issue and showed me why it had to be a crown. And he actually also helped fix a previous crown which is why I had other issues about crowns in general. I really appreciated it and changing the rating from a one. This was my first time meeting Dr Martin and I don't know what to think. I came in for a cleaning and part of a filling came out....and basically his solution was I need a crown. There was also no old faces at the practice...the new people at the desk were not personable. And he also recommended doing 6 more crowns at my first meeting for esthetic reasons....only one of these teeth may need a crown in the future. So I don't know what to think. I have been with Balcones Dental since 2012, so i need feedback from others on this. I also feel pushed into a crown I don't think I need....so if anyone who is patient has input, please let me know.
