Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Salvator La Mastra. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Dr. Salvator La Mastra was born and raised in Dallas, TX. He graduated high school from Trinity Christian Academy in Addison, TX, and received his Bachelor of Science degree from Baylor University. He completed his undergraduate studies in three years on the dean’s list and received a minor in chemistry and concentrations in marketing and Latin. Dr. La Mastra received his Doctor of Medical Dentistry degree from LECOM School of Dental Medicine in Tampa, FL.
Combining oral health and beauty to make dentistry more appealing, Dr. La Mastra hopes his patients look forward to their dental visits. His private practice is built upon a solid foundation of experience in general dentistry (dental examinations and cleanings), cosmetic (Invisalign®, veneers, and smile makeovers), and restorative dentistry (dental implants, crowns, and bridges) in a metal and mercury-free practice focused on health and smile transformations. Dr. La Mastra has become known for his artful cosmetic dentistry that transforms the smiles of Dallasites. He has earned a notable reputation for creating beautiful smiles, following up with all patients, and performing general dental procedures that promote wellness.
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, and 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 the treatment. He is one the youngest faculty member in the history of Invisalign, 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 continues 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.
Dr. La Mastra is featured in Modern Luxury Dallas and D Magazine in recognition of his contributions to general and cosmetic dentistry.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Dr. Salvator La Mastra V DMD?
Dr. La Mastra has let Texas hospitality shine through his practice. “For us, we take pride in our customer service, putting patients first and going out of our way for them always on call,” he says. “Dr. Hamlett has been practicing in the Dallas community for close to 50 years, so we see multiple generations in families, giving patients that hometown, small private practice feel that sets us apart and puts them at ease.” It helps that when you first walk into their practice, you’ll wonder whether you made a wrong turn- unlike any dentist’s office, you’ve ever been to, this elegant reception area is impeccably decorated, featuring works of art by Texas and New Mexican artists and lovely floral arrangements by their friends at Trove Florals.
In the spacious treatment rooms, you’ll find the latest in dental technology, including a wide variety of comfort amenities, including massage dental chairs, warm blankets, noise-canceling headphones, and more. La Mastra does everything, from general dentistry, doing routine checkups and cleanings for his loyal patients, to the kind of reconstructive dentistry that can restore a smile to what it once was and better. “What I hear from patients is that they’ve had a bad dental experience in the past,” he says. “We want to make sure they’re in as comfortable and
calm a setting as can be in our practice, having a conversation to put them at ease and using our extensive training to make sure, the process is as painless as possible, whether with anesthetic or laughing gas.” “We treat our patients like family.” Says La Mastra. “And we get to know them and take care of them before anything else.”
What matters most to you?
Taking care of our patients and making sure we are always there for them in our concierge-type practice. We get to them as people, not just their teeth.
