Have visited a few times. Everyone has been great and very friendly. They were able to figure out an issue that I'd been having that previous dentists had not. I feel well looked after. Nice office and waiting room, too.
I always have a good experience at Piedmont Dental by Design. Everyone in the office is professional and attentive, providing good quality care in a clean, inviting environment.
Dr. Martenson is the best dentist I've ever had. Needle? What needle? Her gentle touch ensures that your experience is as pain-free as possible. Highly recommended.
My first exam and cleaning at PDxD was wonderful. Dr. Martenson is thorough and explains everything with care and patience. Manny is an excellent hygienist. I highly recommend this practice.

I have been a patient with Dr. Martenson for over 20 years. She is highly skilled and keeps up with the latest equipment and techniques. The entire experience is spa-like. I love it.
Got a deep cleaning done. They were super nice and professional. Really good work — highly recommend.
Dr. Martenson and her staff are top notch — professional, friendly, and they care about their patients. Recently had a filling replacement and Dr. Martenson called me in the evening to follow up to make sure I was doing OK. Appreciate the personal touch.
Love everything about this practice and I'm not easy to please. It far exceeds my expectations and continues to impress.
Replaced a fractured crown within two hours. No need for a second visit. There could be no better dentistry — and I've been going for quite a while.
Dr. Martenson and her whole team are amazing. Thank you for making me feel comfortable and informed and for taking such good care of me.
As always — a great appointment at Piedmont Dental. Manny was terrific as my hygienist.
My daughter had her first significant dentist appointment with Piedmont Dental, one that required some less-than-pleasant procedures. They did a great job calming her and making her feel safe. Very pleased.
