Dentistry Isn’t Expensive, Neglect is. Let the Team at Mata Dental Meet Your Needs
By Bette Erickson
When considering the most important ways of focusing on our health, dental hygiene ranks high on the list.
At Mata Dental, the dental professionals are focused on helping patients maintain optimal oral health and wellness. They understand that no two patients have the exact same needs, and the staff is well-equipped to handle both routine checkups andmore complicated procedures.
“We treat our patients like we would want our family to be treated. We do not 'sell' dentistry. We do what is medically necessary and only what is medically necessary for our patients' care,” Explained Ginny Mata, Mata Dental office manager and wife of Dr. Lyndon Mata. “We educate our patients about good dental health, and how to maintain it. We also try to help patients navigate their insurance plans.”
Numerous health practitioners say that good overall health starts in the mouth. Practicing good dental hygiene at home and coming in for regular check-ups is important. This also helps prevent losing teeth as you age. Many people say they will pull their teeth, if they go bad. “This is a terrible idea,” Ms. Mata makes clear. “Dentures/partials will never give you the same chewing function as your natural teeth.”
Mata Dental makes use of advanced dental technology and welcomes new and existing clients in a friendly and caring manner. They understand how stressful going to the dentist can be and strive to help patients feel more comfortable and relaxed while in the office. You can be assured that the staff and Dr. Mata are happy to answer any questions and address all concerns.
Ms. Mata reiterated that helping patients is what they enjoy most.
“Very few people enjoy going to the dentist. If we can get them over that, we feel we did our best.”
And at Mata Dental, they have what most dental offices lack. A surprise perk, you might say. Stella, their French bulldog, is the office greeter and comforter.
“Our patients frequently say that she's the reason they love going to the dentist. That hurts Dr. Mata's feelings only a little,” jokes Ms. Mata.
“Dr. Mata understands that going to the dentist is not the most fun.” But she adds, patients appreciate his 32-years of expertise and commitment to quality dentistry.
Providing expert, safe, and confidential treatment, the team at Mata Dental listens to their patients in a welcoming and comfortable environment.
