Meet the Doctors

Benjamin J. Martin, DMD, MS, graduated in 2011 from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine and then in 2014 pursued his Certificate for Oral Biology and Specialty in Orthodontics from the Texas A&M Baylor College of Dentistry.

“A straight, beautiful smile is universally sought after. While it is an aesthetically pleasing feature, it enhances a person’s overall health in many ways. When a person’s teeth are not in alignment, the function of the teeth and jaw are not optimal; therefore, food may not be digested properly, excellent oral hygiene is difficult, wear and tear on the teeth is advanced, and the pressure from the misalignment may cause headaches and facial pain.

Seeing these transformations in my patients, along with a renewed self-esteem and a new desire to smile, is by far the greatest reward of my profession as an orthodontist.

As a young grade school student, I always knew that I wanted to pursue a career in healthcare. It wasn’t until I attended a dental mission trip to Honduras that I knew that I wanted to be a dentist. While in dental school, my passion and interest in orthodontics grew. I learned and was inspired by some of the best orthodontists at Baylor. I feel very blessed to be able to use my skills, education, and the latest orthodontic advancements to perfect smiles.”

Jonathan Song, BS, DMD, graduated in 2015 from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine.

“My practice philosophy is to earn my patients’ trust and create a long-lasting patient relationship. As your dentist, I’m committed to providing you with quality dental care so that you can live a worry-free life and smile for decades to come.

I look forward to serving you with all your oral health care needs. Your input and questions regarding treatment options and recommendations are always welcome. With proper oral health information, you will be more equipped to make informed treatment decisions and get excited about the results.

I chose Dental Care of Texas because they offer patients a wide range of dental services and specialists all located under one roof. This patient-centric philosophy allows us to collaborate as a team to help the patient achieve their desired goal. In addition, Dental Care of Texas is proud to serve their community, which aligns with my personal experience and values. While living in Boston some of my most favorite memories were volunteering at a local hospital to educate patients about the importance of oral health and the right way to brush and floss.”
