MEET OUR PERIODONTISTS

Dr. Mitchel S. Godat

Dr. Godat is a decorated humanitarian and active American Dental Association member. He has an exhaustive list of achievements under his belt, but these aren’t the only features of this doctor’s treatment that’re important for your care.

When Dr. Godat was a young teenager, he was in a traumatic accident that extensively broke his bones and knocked out several of his teeth. His experience healing from that accident and having his teeth restored set him on his course to help others like him.

He worked his way through medical school and years of residency knowing that he’d soon make a huge impact on the lives of his patients. It’s difficult to find a doctor who can truly empathize with his patients, but Dr. Godat offers you truly compassionate care. He knows what it’s like to face having missing teeth, and he can help get you dental implants that will change how you feel about your smile.

If you want a doctor who can ease your fears and pain and restore your teeth to their former glory or even better, look no further. Dr. Godat loves to help people, and he delivers high-quality compassionate care with a personal touch.
