Services
We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.
I am honored that I get to partner with my patients and their parents, working together to create healthy smiles for a lifetime. One of my passions is educating on the causes of dental disease and how to prevent it, and explaining how oral health relates to overall health. The majority of my patients are strongly committed to preventing dental disease.
Dr. Matthew Gustafsson and our team love helping our patients. Not only do we assist them in developing great smiles, but we instill in them an enthusiasm to care for their oral health as they grow. We know that a child's first visit to a dentist's office can be a scary prospect. That's why we take our time with each of our patients, learn about their interests and concerns, and establish trust.
Truckee Pediatric Dentistry is proud to have helped children achieve a lifetime of great oral health. Dr. Matthew Gustafsson, your local Truckee pediatric dentist, and his team are ready to help with children's dentistry throughout the formative years of childhood. Over the years, we have treated hundreds and hundreds of wonderful patients, and below are just some of the amazing success stories that we have been so lucky to have a part in.

From the front office staff to the hygienist and finishing with Dr. G the entire experience is great for children. My son loves his visits and is fear free.

Outstanding! They do no such a wonderful job making our kids feel comfortable. Started bringing our daughter at age 2. She LOVES going to the dentist! TV on the ceiling, sweet little goodie bags, our hygienist and Dr. G are so kind and gentle. I did not realize bringing my kid to the dentist would be such a breeze!

Dr G was great! We saw him for an infant lip/tongue tie evaluation and appreciated the time he took to explain what he saw and the options. The front desk staff was also super friendly and helpful. We plan on returning once our child has some more teeth.

Dr. G and staff are terrific. They took time to answer all of my son’s questions and assured him all would be well. Having a dental procedure can be traumatic but they put him at ease. My son loves going to the dentist because of their care and compassion.

Could not be more impressed with Dr. G and his incredible staff! We love coming to visit to have our teeth sparkle and look forward to the next visit. They are so gentle and kind with our 2 year old and make a new (scary) experience enjoyable for both my child and myself!!
Thank you so so much!

This office is amazing! Every employee is extremely patient and knowledgeable. The dentist is super sweet and gentle with the kids - my 15 month old didn't even cry or whimper today! It is also very up to date with iPads and movies for the kids to watch while waiting and a very fun token/prize machine. I highly recommend this place!

Wonderful business! My 4 year old daughter has been going to them since she's had teeth. She gets excited to see the dentist! They are more than accommodating for myself and especially for my child. So professional! As a mother it's daunting to take your child to a "doctors office" but my child loves going to Truckee Pediatric Dentistry every time. I would give more than 5 stars if I could

Who get's excited to go to the dentist?!?! My daughter! She looks forward to each appointment and is so motivated to keep her teeth clean and sparkly because of it. All staff that we've interacted with have been wonderful and I have nothing but great things to say. It's truly tailored to kids which makes going so much easier. Thank you!

My daughter is 11 and we've been going to TPD since she was 2. I've never been to a dentist office this nice. They think of everything to make the kids feel welcomed (bulletin board recognizing new clients and birthdays) and have games, ipads, movies to keep kids entertained. Dr. G is the best. He's professional, patient and relatable. Nothing but good things to say about this place. Highly recommend!

Love Dr G and the entire team! Always smiling. They do a great job of explaining the entire process from cleanings to cavities to the kiddo to easy their anxiety. The kids love the goody bags and prize machines so much they always asked to go back!

This is hands-down, the absolute best pediatric dentistry around! Dr. G is my son's personal hero; he literally has not stopped talking about him since our first visit in 2017. He WANTS to brush his teeth, several times a day, because "Dr. G is going to say he's so proud of me!" That is priceless.

Everyone in the office is so welcoming, kind, and informative. We have had nothing but positive experiences here.

The dental hygienists are phenomenal. August of 2018, my son who was almost 3, decided he would not lay down and would hardly open his mouth. Alisha spent the sweetest

Dr G and the staff at Truckee Pediatric Dentistry are the best. My boys are now teenagers, but have been seeing Dr G since they were little. They look forward to going to the dentist and their teeth look great.

Six years ago my 2 year old son and I moved to Tahoe and saw Dr G. My son had gone through a bit of dental trauma before we arrived (who knew breastfeeding could be detrimental to baby teeth) and was not a fan of *any* dentist. Our first visit with Dr G then was just as amazing as it was today! I had to cancel his sixth month cleaning two weeks ago and today we were fortunate enough to get in because of a cancellation. Believe it or not my son wanted to get there earlier than our appointment (maybe to play video games...) and was SO proud when he left with a "no cavity" check up. Dr G

My kids have actually loved going to the dentist ever since we began coming (maybe 5 yrs now?) to Truckee Pediatric Dentistry. What kid loves going to the dentist???! Always a quick and easy experience-doctor and staff are awesome!

Dr. G and staff are amazing! My kids WANT to go to the dentist. He takes great care of their teeth, and even performed a frenulectomy on my three-week-old baby, allowing me to continue nursing. The office is clean, modern and has leading edge technology.
