Founder & CEO, Children’s Dental Specialty | Board Certified Pediatric Dentist
“I just want children to have amazing lives.”
Dr. Veronica Martinez brings more than two decades of pediatric dental expertise to every appointment, but it’s her genuine warmth and passion for children that truly sets her apart. Inspired by her mother—an elementary school teacher for 32 years—Dr. Veronica discovered her calling early, spending time in her mom’s classroom and falling in love with the joy of helping children thrive.
World-Class Training
After earning her undergraduate degree and Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from Marquette University, Dr. Veronica completed her specialized pediatric dental residency at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. As a board-certified pediatric dentist and Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, she represents the top tier of pediatric dental specialists—less than 3% of all dentists achieve this level of certification.
Revolutionary Approach to Children’s Health
What makes Dr. Veronica truly exceptional is her pioneering work in airway-focused dentistry. Having personally experienced the life-changing benefits of tongue-tie treatment, she’s become a leading expert in diagnosing and treating oral restrictions that can affect breathing, sleep, feeding, and speech development. Her gentle laser techniques don’t just improve oral health—they transform children’s overall well-being.
Why Families Travel From Across the Country
Dr. Veronica’s holistic, minimally invasive approach combines cutting-edge technology with old-fashioned compassion. She doesn’t just treat teeth; she guides facial and dental development to support lifelong health. Her comprehensive care includes nutritional counseling, growth monitoring, and family education that empowers parents to give their children the best possible start in life.
Beyond the Practice
A proud Scottsdale resident since 2012, Dr. Veronica shares her passion for dentistry with the next generation—her daughter Tatiana is currently completing her own pediatric dental residency at Tufts University. When she’s not transforming young smiles, Dr. Veronica and her husband, Hal, enjoy hiking Arizona’s beautiful trails, traveling, and mentoring other dental professionals. Fun fact: this farm girl from Wisconsin has built one of the most sought-after pediatric practices in the Southwest!
