Dr. Matthew L. Bridges and the team at Chisholm Trail Smile Center are committed to providing exceptional dental care to the Duncan, OK community and surrounding areas. From preventive care to cosmetic dentistry to full mouth reconstruction, we strive to deliver the highest quality comprehensive care for patients of all ages. We understand choosing a dental home can be an overwhelming task. Let us show you that going to the dentist can be a pleasant experience.

In 1976, Dr. Terry J. Schreiner began practicing dentistry with his brother, providing our community with quality dental care for over four decades. In 2017, Dr. Bridges joined our team and now carries on the legacy of our practice.

Located on West Elk Avenue, our historical building is located across from the Duncan Regional Hospital. Over the decades, we have fostered long-lasting relationships with numerous people in our town. We have been treating many families for several generations. We enjoy getting to know our patients as individuals, and we appreciate the many benefits of practicing dentistry in a small town.

We treat patients of all ages at Chisholm Trail Smile Center. Because Dr. Bridges has advanced training in the field of complex dentistry, we can care for all of your needs, which may range from sleep airway issues to implant-supported dentures to TMD treatment. We also offer cosmetic and restorative procedures and periodontal cleanings. Whether you are looking to restore your function or simply brighten your smile, we can help you achieve your goals.

At Chisholm Trail Smile Center, our x-rays are completely digital. Patient safety is first and foremost. Our modern radiograph unit emits 90 percent less radiation than conventional x-ray systems. Digital technology allows Dr. Bridges to manipulate the images for a more accurate diagnosis.

We want to help our patients improve and maintain maximum oral health, function, and aesthetics. Your teeth, gums, jaw joints, and surrounding structures all work together in harmony for optimal oral health. We believe health and restoration should be addressed before aesthetics for long-term success. With healthy teeth and gums, you can explore cosmetic treatments to enhance your appearance and give you the smile you desire.
