Dr. Manti Batistas

Hi! I’m Dr. Manti Batistas and I love teeth! I know that may sound weird but let me tell you why. I’m a little bit of a nerd. That’s right – a nerd. Since dentistry is an ever growing field with new exciting research and technologies coming out every year, I’ve been able to turn my love for learning and science toward it full time.

Although I love teeth and could talk to you about them for hours don’t be surprised if I ask you for food recs. Being Greek means food is a big part of my life. Being a nerd means I am a board game enthusiast and will be thoroughly impressed if you can suggest a game I haven’t heard of.

Sports have also always been a big part of my life and I’m always trying to relive my glory days whether that be playing pickup, adult leagues, or against friends. However, more recently and with a little reluctance at first you can catch me every Tuesday giving my parents and their friends the smoke on the pickleball court.

A second passion of mine is mental health and anxiety in particular. Dental anxiety is one of the most common phobias and can turn even simple checkups into difficult experiences. I’m really passionate about combining my knowledge and experience in mental health and dentistry to help others get over their fears.

Above all I love dentistry because it allows me to get to know and connect with the people in my community.
