Daniel C Martin, DDS

I had my lower wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Rachel Appelblatt at Tahoe Oral Surgery on February 29. Because of my age (70) I had a high probability of a very slow recovery. I had no problems whatsoever with the removal or post-​operative period. I will be highly recommending this practice to anyone who needs oral surgery.

My dentist, Dr. Bocchi, at Sierra Smiles in Zephyr Cove referred me to this office to have two of my wisdom teeth removed. I had been very nervous then, but everything went so smoothly before, during, and after the surgery. Everyone was very accommodating (I had to change my surgery schedule twice), and they made sure all my questions were answered to put me at ease.
I finally had my teeth pulled five days ago, and I can say Dr. Appelblatt did a really good job with my wisdom teeth removal. I simply followed all the detailed instructions she gave me, and I haven’t had any pains or swelling at all! All the people I saw after my surgery were so surprised at how well I recovered – no chipmunk face, and no complaints about hurting. The numbness went away quickly, too. I also appreciated that they called after my surgery to monitor my recovery, and to answer any other questions I had. I’m so glad I went to this office. I couldn’t have picked a better place!

I was referred to Tahoe oral surgery by my dentist to have my wisdom teeth removed. I was so comfortable with everyone in the office from my consultation through the operation. Dr. Appelblatt was Amazing. She took some concerns I had about getting sick and made my surgery experience the best I have ever had. I highly recommend Tahoe Oral surgery to anyone that is looking. Not only were they great while I was there but Dr. A tool the time to personally call and check on me.

Had my two wisdom teeth pulled by Dr. Appelblatt and she was the greatest doctor I could have had. She took great care of me before and after surgery, made what was once before a horrible experience practically painless, and made sure nothing bad happened to me. Dr. Appelblatt is a great addition and has made me like this office once again. Thank you Dr. Appelblatt.

I recently had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed, and i was looking around for a dentist to help as i am terrified of dentists… came across Dr. Martin, and he eased all of my worries. Not only did the surgery go through smoothly, he made sure i was comfortable in the process before and after. His office called weekly to check up on me, and answer any questions i had. I highly recommend this doctor, and am sure i will never go anywhere else!

I recently had one of the best medical/​dental experiences I have ever had with Tahoe Oral Surgery and Implant Center. Dr. Martin made a tooth extraction a very painless experience. Dr Martin and his staff were excellent and very reasonably priced. I will always recommend them.

Highly recommended. Great hospitality and care from the doctor himself and assistant Stephanie.

Highly recommend. Dr. Martin and staff are amazing and wonderful. Here’s my long story and review. Hope it helps.
I live in SF and was up in South Lake Tahoe for Christmas and New Years for two weeks. I had a known infection in one of my molars that previously had a root canal done 20+ years ago. I tried to have it extracted in SF, but schedule would not allow. My dentist in the bay area prescribed some pain med and I «had to deal with it» until extracted. The pain got progressively worse so I called Dr. Martin’s office the day after Christmas and left a message. Was completely surprised someone was there to call me back. I described the situation and they were able to get me in to see Dr. Martin on Monday the 30^th. I believe he as two offices, one South Lake Tahoe and one in North Shore so he has limited office days in SLT.
From the time I walked into the office, staff was fantastic. Wait was a little longer than expected, but completely understood as with any medical procedure things may take longer than expected and cause delays. After getting the necessary xrays Dr. Martin and I talked about options. I had a cracked molar that I just dealt with and was falling apart, a wisdom tooth that was also broken and my infected root canal molar. Let’s just say I know I needed to get the three extracted from previous dental visits. I just put it off. I expected Dr. Martin to say I needed two implants, but what I particularly liked was he was very honest. He told me straight off, the bottom rear molar really does not need to be replaced. All I really needed was an upper molar implant to replace what he was going to extract. He didn’t push me to get unnecessary implants nor did he pressure me to get it done with him. He and his team even said once I determined who I would get the implants done from in the bay area, that surgeon could call Dr. Martin’s office and they would share all the details. Just awesome!
After it was decided he would extract the three teeth and put in a bone graft for my future implant, I had to decide on anesthesia. I wanted to be completely knocked out but wasn’t sure about my insurance coverage. That’s where Kelly (?) came in and gave me all the options after she spoke with my insurance company. She explained to me very clearly what the insurance was going to pay, what they might pay and what I was expected to pay. Very easy and decided to get knocked out. Stefani was the assistant who prepped me for the surgery and she was a complete pleasure as well. Dr. Martin came in after all the prep was done, hooked me up to an IV and I remember speaking to him about Niner season tickets, about 5 sentences, and the next thing you know, I woke up with the procedure completed. The staff called in my prescription ahead of time and I went to the local CVS to pick up.
I received a follow up call from Dr. Martin that evening to see how I was doing and also received another call from the office following day just to check in again. Now that’s post op service and follow up. Given my experiences with Dr. Martin and staff, I decided I will make an effort to go to him in April during my kid’s spring break to get the needed implant.
I highly recommend Dr. Martin for all your surgical needs for your teeth.

I am so happy with how my surgery went with Dr. Martin and his caring staff. I got three wisdom teeth removed, and it was over before I knew it. They explained everything so well and even called after to see how my recovery was coming along. They also have Care Credit so that helps finically. So so pleased with everything and would recommend this office to my family and friends.
