Pankey Institute, Dr. Matarazzo was trained to be a perfectionist who provides optimal, individualized care. Pankey dentists create naturally beautiful, healthy smiles with long-lasting function and comfort. Dr. Matarazzo also attended the Misch International Implant Institute and earned the distinction of Fellow in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. He is a member of DOCS, with advanced training in oral conscious sedation. "When I had a recent issue with one of my teeth, Dr. Matarazzo made sure to go over my best option of how to begin treatment," says Pansewicz. "He didn't jump right in or jump to any conclusions. He looked at the best way to save the tooth. He also looked at the expenses and went over every way to handle the situation. He goes over every step with you and keeps you informed throughout the entire process." Pansewicz said that one of the ultimate compliments she can pay to Dr. Matarazzo is the fact that she has literally had strangers stop her and compliment her on her smile. She said that is "the best form of advertisement." But it is much more than just her great smile and healthy teeth that Pansewicz credits to Dr. Matarazzo. "Years back, I was experiencing terrible neck pain," recalls Pansewicz. "I told Dr. Matarazzo about it and how my jaw was basically locked. When he examined me, he found no evidence that I was grinding my teeth, so he adjusted my bite, and that alleviated all of the pain that I was experiencing in my neck and my head. It was amazing!" Aside from the brilliance of Dr. Matarazzo, Pansewicz said that she enjoys the ease of everything that goes on in the office. "From the minute that you are greeted by Joanne, you just feel that great sense of rapport from the very beginning. Then, you go into Dr. Matarazzo's office and he is just so kind and gentle. He explains the entire process, which is extremely important to patients of all ages." Dr. Matarazzo can handle any dental-related issue that you may be experiencing. Whether we are talking about a full smile make-over or an implant or even a full mouth rehabilitation, Dr. Matarazzo will take the time to ask the right questions that will help clarify your problems, concerns and goals. He will use those answers to understand your history and determine what results will make you happy. His responsibility is to guide you to a customized solution that is right for you. His promise is that you will have a clear vision of the end result before any treatment begins. "My favorite story is one that I tell Dr. Matarazzo all of the time," quips Pansewicz. "When my time comes, and I'm laying there in the casket for everyone to pay their final respects, I want to insist that while everything is normally closed, that my mouth will remain open. I'll be the only one smiling, and instead of people seeing a memorial card or anything like that, I'm going to have a dental card that says, 'All work performed by Dr. Stephen Matarazzo.' That is how proud I am. Since I'm taking my teeth to my grave, I might as well have one final showing!"
