What Elgin Patients Say

    Dr Martinez and his staff are wonderful! From the first time we called to set the appointment to the actual visit. Very friendly and they speak Spanish! They make our family feel so comfortable. Definitely recommend.

  • DaniellePosted on Google

    Dr. Martinez and his entire staff are always extremely friendly, kind, and caring. I was referred to Dr. Martinez by a friend five years ago and I am forever grateful to her. I trust Dr. Martinez completely and can’t see myself going to anyone else. I now commute here from Crystal Lake because that is how much I trust him.

    Great first experience! Very helpful and nice receptionist lady! X-rays taken with ease quickly. Cleaning was done superbly with much attention from the hygienist, followed with inspection from the doctor! Highly recommended!

    Great dentist. Great staff. I’m very happy to have found a quality dentist in the area for me and my family. Just had a filling done and it was quick and painless. The office manager, the person who did the X-ray, and Dr. Martinez were all very friendly

  • SanchitaPosted on Google

    I have been coming here for 6 + years. Dr Martinez takes care of me and both boys as well. Everyone at the office is very friendly and very professional. I needed to get some bridges done and he was very good and painless. Helped me through the process. I will continue to come here.

    I get my teeth cleaned twice a year and would not go anywhere else but here. Jeff and Danny are a great team and take great care of their patients. The office is always clean and has nice new equipment. I always feel comfortable when I’m there.

  • ThiaryPosted on Google

    My family and I have been patients of Dr.Charles Martinez for 10 years now. The Dr and his staff go above and beyond and truly care about their patients. It’s always clean in the office, every procedure is thoroughly explained and they don’t overbook you like doctors,dental offices etc… They truly care about you and your teeth, that’s why I continue to drive over 40 minutes because it’s worth it. Also, their honesty is so comforting. They don’t push unnecessary treatments or procedures on you. Trips to the dentist office won’t be dreadful anymore, I promise you! Thank you Dr.Martinez from the Rodas-Rodriguez family!

Your questions

Questions Patients Ask Our Elgin Dentist

Are you accepting new patients?

Yes. We welcome new patients of all ages, from a child’s first checkup to seniors. Request an appointment online or call (847) 214-1324, and our front desk will find a time that works for you.

Do you speak Spanish?

Yes. Se habla español. Dr. Martinez and several members of our team speak English and Spanish, so you can ask questions and understand your treatment in the language you prefer. Our whole website is also available in Spanish.

What dental insurance do you accept?

We accept most dental insurance plans, including Delta Dental, BlueCross BlueShield, Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, United Concordia, Ameritas, Lincoln Financial, Principal, Sun Life, Physicians Mutual and Concordia. At this time we are unable to accept HMO or DMO plans. Not sure about yours? Use our Just Ask form or see all accepted plans.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. You can split larger costs into monthly payments with Cherry or CareCredit. We will give you a clear estimate before treatment and help you make the most of your insurance benefits. See insurance and payment options.

What should I do in a dental emergency?

Call us right away at (847) 214-1324. We offer same-day appointments whenever possible for toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, swelling and lost fillings or crowns. If you have swelling that makes it hard to breathe or swallow, go to the nearest emergency room or call 911. Read more about emergency dental care.

What are your hours, and where are you located?

We are open Monday to Thursday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm (closed for lunch 1:00 to 2:00 pm), and closed Friday to Sunday. Our office is at 40 N Airlite St, Suite 1A, Elgin, IL 60123, near Larkin Avenue, with wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking.

How often should I have a checkup and cleaning?

Most patients do best with a checkup and professional cleaning every six months. If you have signs of gum disease or a higher risk of cavities, we may recommend more frequent visits or a deep cleaning.

What’s the difference between veneers and crowns?

Both improve the look of your teeth. Veneers cover only the front surface and are mainly cosmetic, while crowns cover the whole tooth to add strength and protection. We’ll recommend the right option after examining your teeth.
