Parkside Dental Practice

A great experience from the moment you enter the door. Dr Matlaga has been our family dentist since 1990. His curated staff know your pain level and your comfort zone. His equipment is the latest and greatest with trained professionals working with him. From root canals and implants to the polish and shine, this is our one stop pain free smile enhancing treatment.

What an unpleasant experience! I've been to this practice twice and won't be back. Although Dr. Stephen L. Matlaga is excellent, one of his staff, the insurance coordinator, is definitely not. I went for a 3D scan and agreed to pay out of pocket for a disclosed price. I made it clear, that I needed to know the exact amount. Today, after the fact, she told me that this previous amount was an "estimate" and I will be billed for more. This is false and she lied right to my face! Anyone who knows me knows I don't plan this game. When I hear the word "estimate", I stop and do not proceed until I know exactly what I will actually be paying. Who would agree to pay some unknown amount?!? It is very sad that I feel forced to write this review. I would have preferred to write to Dr. Matlaga directly as he seems to be an honorable and professional person but I was unable to find his email address. I hope he hires better staff and his practice prospers. NOTE: I just read the rapid response from Parkside Dental which is so devoid of human touch it smacks of AI. Charges can be checked prior to work actually being done (I have had this done before elsewhere), so this is a disingenuous attempt at CYA.

Great visit at Parkside Dental. Sara, dental technician was wonderful.. I have been a patient of Dr. Matlaga for over 25 years, a testament to his abilities as a great dentist and to his amazing and professional staff

Dr. Matlaga and his team are the best! Always professional but you can tell they really care about you and your dental health. I drive over an hour just to come see them. Top of the line facilities and care I would highly recommend.

My experience at Parkside has been very positive. The hygienists are really prompt about getting you in and taking good care of you. Dr. Matlaga is very friendly and does a thorough check and makes sure you’re satisfied with the service. Everyone is professional, friendly, and treats you with respect. I highly recommend them.

I recently had the pleasure of being a patient at Dr. Matloga’s dental practice, and I can’t recommend him and his team highly enough! From the moment I walked in, the office had such a warm, friendly, and professional atmosphere. Everyone—from the front desk staff to the hygienists and assistants—made me feel comfortable and well cared for. There was never any rushing; they truly take the time to listen and explain everything clearly. Dr. Matloga prepared my mouth for a 4-tooth bridge on the top front, and his attention to detail was outstanding. The entire process was handled with precision and care, and his technique resulted in front teeth that are absolutely picture perfect. They look completely natural, beautiful, and better than I could have hoped for! What also stood out was how timely and thorough the follow-up was—every matter, big or small, was addressed promptly, with clear communication every step of the way. No loose ends, no surprises. If you’re looking for exceptional dental care in a welcoming environment with outstanding results, Dr. Matloga is the one to see. I’m thrilled with my new smile and so grateful for the experience. Thank you, Dr. Matloga and team—5 stars all the way!

Always great care. Been going here for nearly 35 years. Dr Matlaga has always done fantastic work for everything from simple stuff to complex dental care including crowns, root canal, and an implant. The staff is fantastic too. His assistant Donna is really great, as are the hygienists.
