PATIENT STORIES…

Our patients say it best! See what people are saying about their experiences at Gentle Dental Center in Virginia Beach!

My experience was excellent. Dr Hooper was professional, kind, understanding of my concerns. He was extremely quick and the procedure was virtually painless, he was also able to work me into his schedule the same day I had a problem. Having experienced some “unfortunate” dental experiences in my past it was as good as it could have possibly been. In addition to his dental skills, he is a very funny and entertaining man. I would, and have recommended him to others. – L. Gerald

My dental team is the best! They have taken great care of me throughout having to treat a weird infection, root canal me, and take great care in making sure my crown is very comfortable… All while I have been pregnant & through a 2month period where we had some unexpected circumstances. The Gentle Dental Center team have gone above & beyond and it is greatly appreciated! – I. Celeste

I have always been terrified of the dentist, but Dr. Martin helps me through it. He offers a mild sedation option which I have used with him for years. This last visit however I tried it without sedation and everything went well. Dr. Martin and his staff are wonderful and kind. I highly recommend them. On top of their kind and gentle approach, Dr. Martin is OUTSTANDING when it comes to fixing dental problems in the most appealing way. You would never know that I have had a cavity with his beautiful filling work. He is very skilled in his craft. – S. Forsgren
