Dr. DiStefano is an East Texas native with a wife and two children. He is a devoted Christian and an avid fisherman. He completed his undergraduate study and earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Stephen F. Austin State University. He then attended dental school at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. After dental school he completed a residency program which allowed him to gain valuable experience allowing him to provide advanced treatment beyond the scope of most general dentists. During his Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency he was able to work with dental specialists such as orthodontists, oral surgeons, prosthodontists (crowns, bridges, and dentures), periodontists (soft tissues), endodontists (root canals), and pediatric dentists.
After completing his training, Dr. DiStefano proudly served five years in the United States Navy Dental Corps. He provided care for soldiers and sailors at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina and Gulfport, Mississippi. During this time he completed deployments which took him to places such as Spain and Iraq. He earned the rank of Lieutenant Commander in 2005 and was honorably discharged from reserve service in 2008.
Dr. DiStefano holds memberships with the American Dental Association, Texas Dental Association, American Academy of General Dentistry, and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. He strives to continually add to his knowledge of dental care through challenging continuing education courses. He has implemented modern techniques and technology into his practice such as digital radiography, Cerec, Invisalign, among others. Dr. DiStefano is devoted to providing the most advanced modern dental care possible and uses only the best materials modern dentistry can provide.
CEREC 3D uses CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) technology, incorporating a camera, a computer, and milling machine in one instrument. First, your damaged tooth is prepared with a thin layer of reflective powder applied directly on the tooths surface. With a special camera, the dentist takes an optical impression of the damaged tooth, which is transferred to the computer and displayed on a color screen.
Your doctor will use CAD technology to design the restoration. Then, the CAM takes over and automatically creates the restoration. Using a high-speed diamond bur and a disk, the CAM mills the restoration out of a solid block of ceramic material. Once completed, the dentist will bond the new restoration to the surface of the old tooth. The whole process takes approximately one hour.

I love everything about this dental office, which is a place you usually like to avoid! But everyone here tried really hard to make your visit as pleasant as possible. All staff and the doctor are extremely knowledgeable about their job and friendly and personable with it. I wouldn't go anywhere else !

So thankful for this amazing dentist and their staff! Our daughter attends LeTourneau and had an acceding where her front tooth was clipped in half. Dr. DiStefano and staff went above and beyond to fix her up and get her out of pain. We would 100% recommend their practice to anyone!

I first saw Dr. DiStefano for a couple of emergencies in 2021. Then after a cleaning and joining their in-house program, we had a treatment plan in place to address my issues. Care credit was my life saver to get this all done. I have had SEVERAL visits since December and everyone is ALWAYS very courteous and makes you feel at ease.. and didn't berate me for neglecting my teeth for as long as I did. The crown I got was done in-house same day! That was amazing! As of today, no more treatments. He took care of everything. See y'all next year for routine cleaning! Thank you!!!

Great experience can't remember the young lady's name that cleaned my teeth but she did an excellent job. Very professional and made me feel comfortable as I'm always nervous when I go to the dentist. Will definitely recommend this office. The Dr. was very professional and answered any questions I had.

I was referred to Scott DiSefano DDS., Office by my sister, thus, I made an appointment and was greeted by a friendly professional front end staff that took care of my needs by getting my appointment within 2 days. Upon my visit for dental care I was so cared for by my amazing technician as she was the epitome of caring in its entirety. Then finally meeting Dr. DiSefano soft yet direct spoken voice explained step by step what was found and needed correcting for a great smile again. I knew that this is a God sent because of the atmosphere from upon entering the building to leaving the building. Rate: 5+

As always, Jennifer made my visit great. She is very professional, but yet personal and pleasant. There are several great dental offices in my hometown, but I choose to make the drive to Longview because of the great services I receive at Dr DeStefano's
