Meet Dr. Matson
Hi, I’m Phil Matson, sole owner and practitioner of Destination Pediatric Dentistry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age should my child first visit a pediatric dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits help establish healthy habits and allow us to monitor development from the start.
How often should my child see a pediatric dentist?
Most children benefit from a dental check-up and cleaning every six months. Depending on your child’s dental health and risk factors, Dr. Matson may recommend more or less frequent visits.
Do you accept dental insurance?
Yes! We accept most major dental insurance plans and are happy to help you maximize your benefits. Our team will verify your coverage before your appointment and walk you through any out-of-pocket costs.
What should I expect at my child's first appointment?
At the first visit, we’ll conduct a gentle exam of your child’s teeth, gums, and jaw development. We’ll also discuss oral hygiene habits, diet, and answer any questions you have. Our goal is to make your child feel comfortable and excited about dental care.
Is Destination Pediatric Dentistry accepting new patients in Round Rock?
Absolutely! We are always welcoming new patients and their families to our Round Rock practice. You can schedule an appointment online or call our office — we’d love to meet your little one!

Teddy F.
“I was blown away by Destination Pediatric Dentistry. If I could I’d give them 10 stars. The process of getting 2 of my girls scheduled and getting everything in order ahead of their first appointment was simple and straightforward. The Staff was incredibly kind and helpful. The office itself was extremely nice, with themed rooms my girls adored, a play room in the front that made check-in smoother, and overall made what could have a been a bit of a nervous experience into a very enjoyable one for both my girls and me. Destination Pediatric Dentistry has ruined all other dentist offices for me!”
Sushma A.
“It was my 3 year old son’s first time at the dentist’s and he was so relaxed. Everyone and everything here made him feel so comfortable. He was super happy with his preventive care and loved the experience. He said he can’t wait to go back to the dentist! Everything was super clean and they had a lovely ambience throughout their clinic. Highly recommend this place.”
Sarah D.
“I took my son here for his very first dentist appointment and it was such a wonderful experience. As soon as you walk in, you are welcomed with kind smiles. My son loved playing in the waiting room. So much so, I had a hard time getting him to leave. The dental assistant, Amanda, was so sweet, informative, and worked well with my toddler. Dr. Matson was very personable and gentle. Overall, my son’s first appointment could not have gone better.”
Victoria C.
“Everyone was so friendly! The office was so fun for my kids. We were instantly welcomed and it was a relaxing environment. So happy to have found this dentist for my kids!”
Kathryn A.
“What a wonderful office! We loved everything about our visit – from the warm greeting (by name!) for my son at the front door, to the friendly staff at every level, we felt comfortable and well cared for. The front area is lovely and the exam rooms are themed in a stylish and fun way without being cheesy. They saw both my 5 year-old son and 9 month-old daughter at the same time, which helped us enormously, and made both kids feel at ease. The hygienist and dentist were kind, thorough and informative, helping us know what to do to care well for their teeth now and plan for what may be ahead as they grow. My son thanked me for taking him to the dentist! We’re very grateful for their care and that such a lovely place is close to home.”
Courtney F.
“Very impressed with this pediatric dental office! Scheduling was easy, the office was very clean and kid-friendly. The waiting area has toys and things for kids to do while they wait. We didn’t wait long at all, which was great. The hygienist was amazing, kind, and patient. She explained each and every step to my daughter [age 4] (since it was her first time and she was hesitant, worried thinking she would get shots). She let her touch the tools they used and showed her what each one did and is used for. Both she and the doctor did a great job with everything from start to finish. They gave me some good knowledge that no other dentist has. I’m def transferring all my kids over 🙂 I highly recommend this office!”
Rita O.
“Our son had an accident and injury to his front teeth. We contacted Destination Pediatric Dentistry as soon as they opened to schedule our son an urgent visit. They were able to accept us as a new patient, schedule us to be seen within the hour, and verified our insurance promptly! The office is beautiful, the staff and Dr. Matson were incredibly nice and professional! Our son had never been to a dentist and was very comfortable even considering the unfortunate accident being the reason for his visit. We were promptly in and out and confident leaving with the info provided to us. So happy we found a great dental office and are already looking forward to our next visit!”
