Luis Martines, DDS, MSD

I’ve gone back for a few visits since my original post. Every time I go, everyone in the office is kind, helpful, and friendly. Gina takes care of the appointments and always gives me a call the day before. The technicians always try to do quick work, and are very understanding of my odontophobia (dental fears/​anxiety) and let me take mini-​breaks between bouts of work done on my teeth.
I know that some things are going to hurt (it’s braces, afterall, and your teeth are moving), but Dr. Martines and his technicians always try to make things go as smoothly and pain-​free as they can. I’ve had to have my teeth filed, I’ve got spacers on my teeth (to widen my bite), and I’ve had upper and lower braces put on at different times, and have had wire tightenings and adjustments. I think they’ve done the worst part of the process now, and I know that I’ve been in good hands throughout everything.
I’m glad I’m getting my orthodontic work done here with Dr. Martines. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I have to say upon my initial visit to Larchmont Village Orthodontics I was a bit afraid of being the only adult in the office receiving treatment (I was approaching 30 when I got my braces) but along my treatment I began to notice that Dr. Martines has quite a few adult patients which relieved my complex. Well, I got my braces off today and I couldn’t be more pleased! My teeth are so straight and beautiful! Dr. Martines and his staff have made my entire experience through my orthodontic treatment the best it can get. The office is very modern and clean. The staff are patient, professional, efficient, and organized. Dr. Martines himself, is a fun, friendly, upfront guy who is willing to work with you in regards to what you would and wouldn’t like to do with your treatment. He provides options and downright honesty. Together they operate like a solid «family» team.
I can’t say enough great things and highly recommend Dr. Martines for your orthodontic treatment!

Larchmont Village Orthodontics is as good as it gets! I can’t say enough good things about this office. I moved from Texas to California and I had to find another orthodontist here in LA. As a transfer patient, it was very hard for me to find a good, honest orthodontists out here in LA because every orthodontist I met out here was obviously all about money. Every orthodontist I consulted with tried to get me to take out huge loans. I couldn’t understand why when my teeth were already halfway done, I just needed someone to continue working were my old orthodontist left off. I felt rushed and very uncomfortable asking questions. I just felt like I was just another atm machine to them… until God lead me to Larchmont Village Orthodontics. Not only is Dr. Martinez a WONDERFUL orthodontist, he is honest, thorough, and precise. I can tell he really enjoys what he does! He explains every single detail and loves to answer any additional questions you may have so that you are absolutely clear about everything. He is a perfectionist and I love it! He continued working on my teeth where my old orthodontist had left off. He even fixed all of my old orthodontists mistakes and corrected my overjet, which my old orthodontists said «could probably never be corrected» because my case was so severe.
I got my braces off 3 weeks ago and I’m so happy with the results! I seriously cried when I looked in the mirror when I got home. I couldn’t believe how beautiful my teeth were! They are picture perfect and I get so many compliments!
I would give Dr. Martinez and his staff 10 stars if Unilocal would let me.
Thank you so much Larchmont Village Orthodontics!!! God bless you! :)

We love Dr. Martinez, Ann and the entire staff at Larchmont Village Orthodontics.
Both of our daughters have been happy and successful patients there for the past year. Dr. Martinez has also shown tremendous patience with the many questions I asked him over and over and over again– and there have been a lot!
In addition, after consults all over town with many different orthodontists, my father-​in-​law, a highly respected children’s dentist and oral surgeon for over forty years in the Central Coast, gave Dr. Martinez the «thumbs up.» My father-​in-​law told me to look for someone who teaches, and Dr. Martinez teaches at U.C.L.A. He also has great credentials according to my father-​in-​law. That said a lot in my book.
It is always easy to make an appt. there, and when we have needed to stop by for an unexpected, but needed adjustment, they have always accommodated us.
Also, last year, the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, one of my daughters needed to get a quick, but necessary fix to her appliance. Being the night before Thanksgiving, I thought she would be eating nothing, but mashed potatoes if we couldn’t get it corrected.
I called the emergency number and Dr. Martinez, who was standing in line at our local Trader Joe’s, came directly to the office in 10 minutes and made the correction.
What a relief! We will be forever grateful for that fix! Would have been in a bind for the entire Thanksgiving holiday if we hadn’t been able to get the correction. especially since we were heading out town the following four days!
Three cheers for Dr. Martinez– honestly can’t say enough good things about Larchmontt Village Orthodontics!

I reviewed Larchmont Village Orthodontics before a few years back. I had Invisalign treatment back then and was very happy with the result and experience. I gave 5 stars then.
This time, I took my 11-​year old to Dr. Martines. His office is still super-​clean, fresh, and very well taken care of. It’s a bright and modern environment with fun details to look at. My daughter feels absolutely comfortable there. She also loves the books in the waiting area. Little things like that should not go unnoticed…
The entire staff, including Dr. Martines and his helpers know my daughters name, and everybody is extremely friendly and approachable.
My daughter has an expander and braces now. Because she was so well instructed by the staff, she takes great care of her teeth at home, all by herself.
Overall a great experience!

Dr. Martines has a fun/​great office that is very family friendly. He is always prompt with appointments. I completely trust his work and have had great results with my teeth with him. The bonus is that before or after your appointment you can walk down larchmont for a coffee or tea!
