Meet the Doctor

Martha H. Sanger DDS, Inc.

Dr. Sanger is a specialist with training in periodontics, dental implants and full mouth reconstructions. She began placing dental implants as a general dentist in 1990. She then decided to dedicate her career to implant placement and gum treatment and attended the prestigious El Bosque University in Bogota, Colombia where she graduated as a specialist in Periodontics and Oral Medicine. 

At the early age of five, Dr. Sanger dreamed of helping people in the medical field. During a first aid course in high school, she decided to become a dentist with the goal of opening up her own practice. “I love helping people with health issues, their pain and with their level of confidence. It's immensely rewarding to take a patient who has been afraid to smile for 20 years and give them their confidence to smile back again. It's amazing!” she says.

Knowledgeable, Friendly Care

She takes the needed time to explain treatment. “I believe in doing what is the right thing for the patient that well benefit them the most over the long run, starting with the most accurate diagnosis for the most comprehensive solution to recover their health and their confidence in themselves with minimal possible discomfort in the shortest time possible,” she says.

Expert in Gum and Implant Treatment

Dr. Sanger had eight years of experience as a general dentist before getting her specialty in Periodontics and Oral medicine. Because of this, she is an expert at diagnosing and developing treatment plans with the most successful outcomes. Due to her high skill level and competence, other dentists refer difficult periodontal and implant cases they have been unable to solve to Dr. Sanger.

Dr. Sanger has over 28 years of experience at placing implants. For expert diagnosis and precise implant placement, she does 3D imaging with our cone beam CT scanner. Dr. Sanger can replace any amount of teeth, including replacing a full arch of teeth or dentures. In our office, patients can receive fixed-in new teeth in one day using the revolutionary All-on-4® procedure. Even patients with severe bone loss can receive this procedure.
