Dr. Matt is a friendly and dedicated pediatric dentist who grew up right here in Missouri. He started his journey at Missouri State University, earning a degree in Marketing Management with a minor in Chemistry. He then continued his education at A.T. Still University in Saint Louis, where he simultaneously completed both his Doctorate in Dentistry and a Master’s in Public Health. Dr. Matt then went on to attend residency at NYU Langone Health in Columbia, MO to specialize in pediatric dentistry.

Dr. Matt is passionate about promoting oral health for all children. He has helped create free children’s dental clinics in Saint Louis, and served on mission trips to provide dental care for children across Africa in Sierra Leone and Uganda. He has even advocated for children’s oral health legislation to our congressmen and women in Washington, DC. He proudly belongs to both the Missouri Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and even holds certification in Wilderness Emergency Medicine!

When he’s not in the office, you’ll likely find Dr. Matt enjoying a bike ride on the Katy Trail, cooking up a TikTok recipe with mixed results, diving into one of his 100 books a year, or crafting the perfect espresso (and eagerly sharing his process with anyone interested). Above all, he loves spending quality time with his wife, Monica, and their adorable son, Henry.
