General Dentistry
Family Dentistry in Jenkintown, PA
From age one to age one hundred, in one practice.
Family dentistry here means exactly what it sounds like: we see all of the family. It also describes us — MVP stands for Matthew, Venita and Priya, and the practice has been a family one from the day it started.
Exceptional care for a lifetime of healthy smiles
The short answer
Family dentistry at MVP Family Dental
Comprehensive dental care for patients of every age in one practice, including cleanings, examinations, preventive care and treatment for children, adults and seniors.
The practical benefit is simple: one practice that knows your whole family, rather than separate arrangements for the children and the adults. Because there are hygienists and two doctors here, several family members can often be seen at the same time.
Who we are
The name is the family
Dr. Priya Mathew tells this better than we can, so here it is in her words, lightly condensed.
MVP stands for Matthew, Venita, Priya. Matthew was my dad, who was a dentist — he taught at Penn Dental and was very passionate about dentistry. He has passed away. V is for Venita, my mom, Dr. Thomas, who is still practicing and has been for 40 years. She is the OG dentist who started the practice from scratch. I am Priya, the P. We are a family, and when you join MVP, you are part of our MVP family.

Family Dentistry Questions
- What is family dentistry?
- Providing dental care for whole families. As Dr. Mathew puts it, we see all of the family, from age 100 to age one — and we are a family ourselves.
- What does MVP stand for?
- Matthew, Venita and Priya. Matthew was Dr. Mathew’s father, a dentist who taught at Penn Dental. Venita is her mother, Dr. Thomas, who started the practice from scratch and has been practicing for 40 years. Priya is the third.
- What services fall under family dentistry?
- Cleanings for all ages, from children through to adults, along with examinations, preventive care and the restorative treatment families need. Where we cannot help, we refer to a trusted specialist in the area.
- Can the whole family come at once?
- Yes. There are hygienists and both doctors here, so multiple people can be seen at the same time if you would like to bring everyone in together.
- Can we book back-to-back instead?
- Yes, and many families prefer that — one trip rather than several.
- Can I come on my own first?
- Of course. Plenty of patients try us out and bring the rest of the family later.
- Do you see young children?
- Yes. Establishing a positive experience early matters, and children are seen here routinely — often in the same appointment slot as a parent.
- How do we make an appointment?
- Call MVP Family Dental on (215) 274-0169. We are on The Fairway in Jenkintown and would love to see you.
