It was wonderful, Dr. Mathai did well in veining my deep cleaning, & using a shot- anesthesia prior to cleaning, which was helpful.

She is the best dentist I ever been too. I went to a dentist before her and they were really pushy and wanted to give me treatments that were unnecessary for the time being. Dr. Mathai is so talented at her job she has techniques that make the procedure painless. She communicates thought-out the whole thing and very intelligent in reading what needs to be done. My husband and I live in nob hill but bc she is so good at what she does we travel to see her. Her calm demeanor and how she treats her staff shows that she hasn't been jaded to her job and cares about her patients. I would tip her if I could lol

West Portal Dental is a great place to go for your dental needs. No to mention Dr. Mathai, excellent dentist who took care of my dental work. I was amaze to see how she reconstructed my teeth, especially the front looked amazing, now I can smile again. Novocain shot was virtually painless! She is very patient and explained to me what she was doing step by step while working on my teeth. I love this clinic! Everyone there is fantastic and they all make you feel welcome. I highly recommended and will continue to recommend this clinic to friends and family.
