Re: Need a veneer on my front tooth, last resort before implant
Jill Martenson at Piedmont Dental by Design did a great job on my front teeth. She was very knowledgeable and came up with a plan that preserved as much of my natural tooth structure as possible. She took her time and did an amazing job. She was more expensive than regular dentists, but totally worth it in my opinion. Her number is 510-652-2911. can smile again

There are two Dentists in Piedmont that I would trust w/ my life! The office name is Piedmont Dental by Design, the dentists are Dr. Dale Herrero & Dr. Jill Martenson. Two of the most brilliant, gentle & artistic dentists I've ever seen. I have two friends that are also patients there, one had a full mouth reconstruction done by Dr. Herrero including dental implants porcelain veneers. Dr. Herrero has apparently been placing implants for over 30 years, was one of the first in this area to start placing them. He is a fellow & honored member of the top implant groups in the country! I've seen his surgical set-up and I swear, he is more sterile than a hospital! what a genius! Dr. Martensen also does implant work & placed a few on my husband (which we've had absolutely Zero problems w/) I was most impressed by a smile she gave another good friend of mine who recently appeared on the home & garden channel. What a difference. People who were naturally blessed w/ beautiful smiles just don't realize what a difference it can make! Here is a link to their website & telephone #. www.hmdds.com 510-652-2911 Anyone who is looking for beautiful cosmetic work, implants or has any type of dental phobia would be a fool to go anywhere else

Re: Oral Surgeon that accepts Denti-Cal
Not sure about accepting Denti-Cal, but my husband and I have been going to Dr. Jill Martenson's office in Piedmont. She has been nothing short of excellent! We have had significant issues with previous dental work (done in recent months), that need to be re-worked entirely (involving implantation and bone grafting). After consulting with my orthodontist, Dr. EG Righellis in Claremont/Oakland, she seems to be one of the best in her field. (Dr. Righellis came highly recommended by my ortho from New York City, who is also renowned in his field) 510.652.2911 1331 Grand Ave., Piedmont

Re: Hygienist (Sensitive teeth - prone to bleeding) (Jan 2006)
My husband and I have been going to Dr. Jill Martenson's office in Piedmont where we've both had very thorough and gentle cleanings. In general, the treatment we get there has been nothing short of excellent! I wholeheartedly recommend going there.

It's not cheap, but I have gone to numerous hygienists/dentists in New York City, and the Bay Area, and so far, this is one of the best practices I've encountered. With such sensitve gums, I would almost encourage your husband to seek dental consultation. (not to say that there's something wrong for sure)

In our experience, the cleanings are so thorough, they take digital pictures before and after the cleaning to show you what work they've done to remove plaque and for appropriate cleaning!

I give her practice a A++! Never before have I seen a dental office where the staff is so available and willing to help.
