Meet Your Doctor

Dr. Lafferty

Dr. Lafferty was raised in a tiny Utah village before moving to Los Angeles, California, to work as a set builder after graduating high school. He then decided to relocate his little family to Portland, Oregon, following years of employment in the film industry. A close friend encouraged him to pursue dentistry while he was there, so he decided to return to school to study dentistry. He graduated in 2014 with a bachelor's degree from Portland State University and a DMD from OHSU (Oregon).

Dr. Martinez

After earning a biology degree from UNM in 2016, Dr. Martinez enrolled at the University of Utah School of Dentistry, where he eventually graduated in 2020. After attending dentistry school, he returned to his hometown of Mora, New Mexico, where he spent three years working at a public health clinic. To advance his dentistry expertise, he just relocated to Albuquerque. The chance to help others realize their lifelong dreams of having the smile of their dreams is one of the factors that drew him to the dental field.

Over 500 Five-Star Reviews

I have been going to ABQ Gentle Dentistry for about 8 years, and have consistently had great experiences & impeccable care. Dr Lafferty & staff take their time with each patient rather than rushing you around. They're mindful of each person's unique needs/preferences, and are very accommodating. I appreciate the office's calm, relaxing atmosphere as well. Cleanings are always really thorough, and the crown I had done years ago was performed so expertly--it has felt comfortable and durable ever since. I genuinely recommend them to all friends/coworkers who are looking for a dentist!

Wow!! I have had some of the worst experiences with dentists but this place was not that. They were very caring and gentle with me. They talked me through everything and took my comfort seriously. I had a tooth removed and it was painless and quick. I would recommend this dentist office 100%

I drove my mom to her dental appointment here and the office staff were welcoming, kind, and competent! They shared their different whitening systems with me and I’m excited to brighten my smile! My mom, who is a dental hygienist has told me that this is her favorite dental office in New Mexico! 👏 …

I am so happy to have found Dr. Lafferty with ABQ Gentle Dentistry Inc. I have had a lot of problems with previous cosmetic work, and Dr. Lafferty quickly resolved my problems and let me smile again! Dr. Lafferty is a skilled and friendly dentist. He took the time to listen to my concerns. Dr. Lafferty and his Dental Assistant were very gentle throughout the entire process. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule. It was evident that they prioritize patient satisfaction and strive to create a positive experience. I highly recommend Dr. Lafferty with ABQ Gentle Dentistry to anyone in search of a top-notch dentist!
