Dr. Salvator La Mastra was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. He graduated from Trinity Christian Academy in Addison, TX, before earning his Bachelor of Science degree from Baylor University. Demonstrating exceptional academic dedication, he completed his undergraduate studies in just three years while making the Dean’s List. During this time, he earned a minor in chemistry and concentrations in marketing and Latin. Dr. La Mastra went on to receive his Doctor of Medical Dentistry degree from the LECOM School of Dental Medicine in Tampa, Florida.
With a passion for combining oral health and aesthetics, Dr. La Mastra is redefining the dental experience—making it something patients can genuinely look forward to. His private practice is built on a strong foundation of comprehensive general dentistry, advanced cosmetic services such as Invisalign®, veneers, and smile makeovers, and restorative treatments including dental implants, crowns, and bridges. Practicing in a metal- and mercury-free environment, Dr. La Mastra emphasizes whole-body health while delivering transformative smile results.
Widely recognized for his artful approach to cosmetic dentistry, Dr. La Mastra has become known for creating stunning, natural-looking smiles for patients throughout Dallas. His commitment to personalized care, thorough follow-up, and wellness-focused dentistry has earned him a trusted reputation for excellence and lasting patient relationships.
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 was fortunate to partner in practice with Dr Kenneth Hamlett to perfect his dental skills to the high standards of Dr Hamlett aesthetics. 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 continues Dr Hamlett’s legacy by lecturing on cosmetic dentistry and offering special concierge dentistry to our multigeneration practice.
Dr. La Mastra is featured in Modern Luxury Dallas, New Beauty, and names D Magazine Best Dentist in recognition of his contributions to general and cosmetic dentistry.
In Dr. La Mastra’s free time, he enjoys spending time with family, as well as the outdoors, traveling, working out, and experiencing new foods and cultures. And he has a German Sheperd named Jupiter!
