Your Trusted Dentist in Fort Lauderdale, FL, for Nearly 20 Years

As a youngster, Dr. Henry Rodriguez–Martin was always fascinated by all the tools and equipment at his dentist’s office. However, he became a dentist because of something that happened to his mom when he was just 11 years old. His mom needed a lot of dental work, including five root canals.

He remembered how helpless he was to alleviate his mother’s pain. In the end, she ended up losing all those teeth because of poor dental work. He decided there and then to become a dentist and make sure no one went through what his mother did. He brings that same compassion and dental excellence to every one of his patients. He knows how healthy, beautiful smiles affect how people look and feel about themselves.

Dr. Rodriguez–Martin is a native Floridian. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Miami and his doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania. He has more than 18 years of dentistry experience and has completed over 750 hours of continuing education in implantology, cosmetic dentistry, and orthodontics.

Dr. Rodriguez-Martin is a member of the American Dental Association, Florida Dental Association, South Florida District Dental Association, and the Hispanic Dental Association.

For Dr. Rivas–Platas, dentistry is a perfect combination of medical science and art. With her practice, she combines leading dental expertise with the art of creating beautiful, healthy smiles that give patients more confidence.

Dentistry also allows her to satisfy one of her passions, which is to provide quality, compassionate care for the elderly. This stems from her family experience of respecting, helping, and cherishing her grandparents.
