Dr. Gautam Matta
Orthodontist
Orthodontist
Dr. Gautam Matta, DDS, MSc, FRCD(C), attended McMaster University for his undergraduate studies, where he majored in Life Sciences and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree. During this time, he decided to pursue a career in dentistry. Dr. Matta attended New York University College of Dentistry and received a Doctorate of Dental Surgery. He participated in the Honors in Orthodontics program to gain more experience and education in the field of orthodontics, and served as President of the NYU Orthodontic Society. During this time, Dr. Matta took great pride in trips to Kenya and Ecuador to provide dental care for underprivileged communities. After NYU, Dr. Matta completed his specialty training at Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine. He earned a certificate in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, while also earning a Master of Science degree in Oral Biology for his research on mini-implant temporary anchorage device stability. In private practice, he is an expert in treating even complicated orthodontic cases requiring adjunct orthognathic surgery, such as those with cleft palate or dentofacial abnormalities. When he’s not in the office, he enjoys spending time with his fiancée (who is also an Orthodontist!), his family, and friends; rooting for the Maple Leafs, Raptors, and Blue Jays; or catching a good movie. In 2014, he checked off a big item from his bucket list when he ran the New York City Marathon — and if that wasn’t crazy enough, he then swam/biked/ran the New York City Triathlon in 2016!
