Meet Dr. Tyler Mesa

Hi, I’m Dr. Mesa. I’m a board-certified pediatric dentist dedicated to providing your family with the best pediatric dental care and experience possible! I’m from Mandeville and graduated from St. Paul’s School. I spent the following ten years in Colorado, New Orleans, and Washington D.C. to complete my education and training necessary to provide the highest quality, state of the art pediatric dentistry. Outside of the office, my wife Kristin and I enjoy traveling, trying new foods, and spending time with our two dogs, Luna and Marty, as well as our new baby boy!

Loved By Kids
& Parents Alike

So grateful for Dr. Mesa’s patience and enthusiasm with my little ones. It was my youngest’s first dental visit and she left smiling! He and his team provide a refreshing and inviting environment and remained thorough and knowledgeable throughout our visit!

Madeline

There is literally not a single person on the planet that I would trust more with my kiddo’s teeth than Dr. Mesa. He’s kind, he’s goofy, and he’s also super knowledgeable. Basically if you could create a person to be a pediatric dentist, it would be him. Brought my 2 year old in to see him and not a single tear, only giggles. They’re basically best friends now. Do yourself and your kids a favor and bring them to Live Oak.

Graham

We went to Dr. Mesa for my son’s very first dentist appt and it couldn’t have been a better experience. Dr. Mesa is approachable, kind, and makes kids (and parents) feel welcome and at ease. You and your child’s teeth are in such competent and compassionate hands with him. Thank you Dr. Mesa and Live Oak Pediatric Dentistry!
