A Unique Expertise

Dr. La Mastra is a member of the American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, Texas Dental Association, Dallas County Dental Association, the Academy of Clear Aligners, and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

He believes in comprehensive dental care that helps patients maintain their oral health, smile, and addresses their chief concerns. He prides himself on delivering the best, most compassionate, and holistic dental care to each of his patients.

In order to do this, Dr. La Mastra has spent numerous hours in continuing education courses and recently directed his focus on orthodontics and occlusion (the study of a person’s bite) in order to help develop the proper function. This prevents costly dental work in the future by directing “biting” forces in the proper area of the tooth maintaining tooth and gum health.

Dr. La Mastra is certified in Invisalign and teaches on the national level, educating other doctors on how to best plan and execute treatment. He is one the youngest faculty member in the history of Invislaign, in which he is humbled and grateful for the recognition. He is also very passionate about building beautiful smiles that give patients back their confidence, youth, and smile of their dreams using his wide range of dental expertise.

Dr La Mastra has been very fortunate to partner in practice with Dr Kenneth Hamlett and continue to perfect his dental skills to the high standards of Dr Hamlett. Dr La Mastra practices with the same philosophies and techniques as Dr. Hamlett in order to continue offering the same amount of care and perfection to his patients and all our new patients for all their general and cosmetic dentistry needs.

"I came to Texas 11 years ago and have been using Dr. Hamlett ever since.  He has done extensive work in my mouth including restoration after having implant.  I am not an easy patient to work on since I have a fear of dentist.   Dr. Hamlett and his staff have always taken this into account and handled me with extra care and compassion.  I will always remember Dr. Hamlett and his team fondly.Hugs,Teresa Taylor"

"Dr. La Mastra is super cool and amazing, especially for someone who has dental phobia like me. I've been with him for years and followed him to his new place recently. He did my implant and crown which was a great experience. Dr. La Mastra is caring and I feel relaxed when he enters the room. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. His assistant Cindy is fun and conversational, my hygienist Cindy (same name) makes teeth cleaning comfortable and informative when it comes to oral care and Parker at the front desk makes you feel like family. Always a good experience!"
