Quality, Compassionate Care
Our Mission
At Santa Martha Dental, our mission is to provide you with a dental home where you feel confident in the care you receive. We prioritize friendly interactions and a warm, welcoming environment paired with world-class care so that visiting the dentist feels like an act of self-care, not a chore. As your new dental home, the Santa Martha Dental team is excited to help you enhance or rediscover your confident, healthy smile!
A Passion for Excellence
Get To Know Dr. Arturo Perez
Dr. Perez was born in Florida, but grew up in the small rural town of Fort Valley, Georgia. He became interested in dentistry on a field trip in 5th grade, when his class went to their state dental school. The visit left a strong impression on Dr. Perez. He later started shadowing a family friend that was a dentist and went on a dental volunteer trip abroad, which further solidified his decision to pursue dentistry as a career.
Dr. Perez earned his undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Georgia and his dental degree from Temple University. After finishing dental school and a year-long general practice residency at Faxton St. Lukes, Dr. Perez practiced in Florida for 7 years before relocating to California with his wife.
When he’s not in the office, Dr. Perez enjoys trying new restaurants with his wife, traveling, and watching college football.
Committed to Quality Care
Meet the Team
The Santa Martha Team is committed to creating an inviting space where you can feel good about your dental visit. Whether we’re checking you in or assisting Dr. Perez with a procedure, we always approach your smile with the utmost attention and care. We believe that a dental home should feel more like home than an office you reluctantly visit twice a year. We’re excited to get to know you and your smile!
What to Expect
Your first visit
When you first walk through our doors, you’ll be greeted by our comfortable environment and our friendly office staff. You’ll be invited to sit down and relax as you fill out any new patient forms prior to your appointment. Once those are complete and your dentist is ready for you, we’ll invite you back into one of our operatories.
You’ll receive a cleaning, comprehensive exam, x-rays, and Dr. Perez will sit down with you to discuss the results. If everything looks good, you’ll be able to schedule your next appointment in the front office. If anything needs extra attention, Dr. Perez will explain the results and take time to address any questions or concerns you might have, and he will describe any further treatment recommendations.

Community Outreach
Our philosophy of care goes beyond the office walls.
