Meet Dr. Amato

Paul R. Amato, DDS

I truly enjoy dentistry and feel honored to welcome and serve the patients of our practice. It is my goal to provide the very best care to achieve optimal oral health and a beautiful smile for each patient.  It is satisfyling to apply my knowledge and passion for oral health to a patient in need.  Dentistry provides me the opportunity to get to know many wonderful people.  Every day, I have unique inspiring experiences that make me reflect and allow me to advance, learn, and grow personally and professionally.

My staff is skilled, caring and an exceptional group of people. Each member of our team is highly qualified and experienced. We assure that each patient has a consistent, satisfying and rewarding experience in our office.

I attended the College of Wooster for my undergraduate education, earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in Chemistry.  I then completed a Master's Degree in Chemistry and my Doctorate of Dental Surgery at the University of Washington School of Dentistry.

Since I graduated, I have been extremely active in study clubs and continuing education, so much so that I will receive my Fellowship in the AGD in 2012. This demonstrates my commitment to continuing education and allows me to provide the best care to each of my patients with the latest technology and current techniques.

I am originally from Huntington Station, NY, and have been excited to call Seattle my home for the past 12 years. My wife, Rebecca, practices dentistry in the Tacoma area. Together we have rescue cats and a dog. When I have free time I enjoy taking advantage of everything this beautiful area has to offer. I can be found hiking, gardening, playing soccer, going to the gym, and traveling. In my community, I provide dental care to individuals through Jewish Family Services; Give Kids a Smile, and the King County Dental Society. My wife and I are also active supporters of Animal Talk Rescue and Ginger's Pet Rescue.
