Welcome to the Practice of Your San Marcos Dentist

Enjoy small town dentistry with the advanced technology of a metropolis from Derek L. Martin, DMD. Your entire family can enjoy the best in patient care, restorative dentistry, and hygiene cleanings.

At The Hills Family Dentistry, your treatment revolves around you. Dr. Martin truly will take the time to get to know you, your dental health and your goals and priorities. Our dental office is located in the San Elijo Hills neighborhood of San Marcos. It is comfortable and relaxing and in a friendly neighborhood. We will treat you with the best San Marcos cosmetic dentistry available, putting your comfort first.

Dr. Martin has invested in the latest technologies to allow the patient the greatest comfort possible. Using a hard tissue laser, many cavities won’t need a drill nor Novocaine. The hard tissue laser uses laser beams to treat the cavity. It is not only less painful but less abrasive on your teeth. You can also enjoy the perks of Dr. Martin’s STA machine which will numb only your tooth instead of your entire mouth, tongue and lips.

For our CEREC patients, Dr. Martin will even send you next door for a complimentary visit to the nail salon while you are waiting for your one-visit, custom-milled crown or other restoration!
