Meet Salvator J. La Mastra V, D.M.D.
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.

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, 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.
Dr. La Mastra is featured in Modern Luxury Dallas and D Magazine in recognition of his contributions to general and cosmetic dentistry.
