Meet Dr. Dean Martin
As a child, I had this fascination with the Tooth Fairy. I always wondered how she got in and out of my bedroom to take my tooth and leave me some coins without my ever seeing her. I thought I should have known she was there when she put her hand under my pillow to make the exchange. Somehow she always eluded me and that’s what piqued my interest in dentistry. You see, I thought if I became a dentist I might even get the opportunity one day to meet this amazing spirit!
A Smile Makes All the Difference
Well… I still haven’t met the Tooth Fairy but I have met an incredible number of wonderful patients since I opened my practice in 1996. Seeing my patients smile – many of them for the first time in years – always leaves me with a sense of gratitude for having made such a profound difference in their lives. It’s the reason why I became a dentist in the first place and the reason why I am still excited to walk into my practice every single day.
Dental Education
I received my education at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and graduated in the top 10% of my class. After a one-year internship with my own family dentist, I decided it was time to make my home in Denver and open a practice of my own – in the same location as we are currently situated. I absolutely love where I live and work – and many of my patients have been with me from the start, referring friends and family members and introducing their new little ones to our practice as well.
To stay current with the latest techniques and technology, I attend numerous lectures and seminars each year so I can offer my patients the latest tools and procedures to keep their teeth and gums as healthy as they can be! I am also an active member of the American Dental Association.
Family of Beautiful Smiles
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Betty, and our two young children. I am a coach for my son’s soccer team and an enthusiastic cheerleader at my daughter’s gymnastics competitions. Like many parents, I am ever hopeful of raising a future Olympian, with a very beautiful smile, no less!
