Meet our dentists behind your smile.

For 30 years, Piedmont Dental By Design has remained a locally owned, family-oriented practice — devoted to restoring and enhancing the natural beauty of your smile using conservative, state-of-the-art procedures that result in beautiful, long-lasting smiles.

Today the practice is led by its co-owners, Dr. Jill Martenson and Dr. David Ma, who share the same values that have guided the practice for three decades — trust, comfort, and personalized care.

i. — Values

Six things we won't compromise on.

What does Piedmont Dental stand for?

From sterilization to continuing education, six values shape every decision in the practice. They're what we measure ourselves against — not what we say to win patients, but what we follow to keep them.

01

High standards

We maintain a standard of excellence in personalized dental care, allowing us to deliver the quality services our patients deserve. Through comprehensive treatment planning and the use of restorative and cosmetic dentistry, we help you achieve optimal dental health. In an emergency we prioritize seeing and caring for you promptly.

02

Education & prevention

Preventive care and education are key to optimal dental health. Our focus is on comprehensive dental health care rather than just disease care — thorough exams, oral cancer screenings, X-rays, cleanings, sealants, and fluoride treatments to prevent issues before they begin.

03

A positive experience

We build trust by treating each patient as a unique individual. Dental visits can be anxiety-inducing, so our team is committed to a relaxing and positive experience with personalized care from the moment you walk in.

04

Modern technology

Dr. Martenson and Dr. Ma stay current with advances in cosmetic dental science. Our office uses state-of-the-art technology including digital radiography — reducing radiation exposure by 80–90% versus film, with instant detailed imaging that catches hidden issues earlier.

05

Training & expertise

Our highly trained team is dedicated to maintaining your dental health through continuous education. We stay current with the latest techniques, products, and equipment by attending industry events and as active members of the AACD, ADA, and CDA.

06

Uncompromising safety

We prioritize infection control by adhering to strict sterilization and cross-contamination protocols based on guidelines from the ADA, OSHA, and CDC — protecting both our patients and staff at every visit.
