Meet the Family

We are truly a Dental Family! The tradition has been in the family for more than 30 years. Rafael Martinez Casanas and Estrella Perugorria married in 1985, and both have practiced dentistry in Cuba since 1986. Their son followed their steps in this beautiful country and met the love of his life in dental school.

Dr. Marianela Martinez Hernandez and Dr. Rafael Martinez established M&R Dental Family in Naples, Florida, to fulfill their dream of working together to deliver patients the highest quality of dentistry in a family environment. Rafael Martinez Casanas (dad) is the dental hygienist looking after your oral health, while Estrella (mom) will be the caring dental assistant to make your experience more pleasant. Together, they work hard to make you feel at home.

Meet the Doctors

Dr. Mary and Dr. Ralph are husband and wife. Their love grew through their mutual passion for dentistry when they met in dental school. Their mission is to help patients feel like family.
