Since 2004 Dr. Matthews has continued to stay current with the advancements that are constantly improving the field of dentistry. Here are some of the technology and advancements he has introduced into the office: Digital x-rays, Paperless office, Implants, Lumineers, and Cerec Same Day Crowns.
I grew up in a small town in Northern California. I have always enjoyed the friendliness and feel of small towns. My aim has always been to have an office that has a small home town feel even though we live in a big city. My goal is never to sell to a patient dentistry they do not want. After examining a patient I will discuss with you your dental treatment options and the consequences of each treatment option and then let you choose.
Dr. Matthews graduated from Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine in 2000. He then served as a general dentist in the United States Navy for 4 years, where he completed additional general dentistry training with an Advanced Education in General Dentistry certificate. During his time in the Navy, he was privileged to serve in Kuwait during the 2003 Iraqi War where he assisted in keeping the fighting troops healthy. In 2004 he was released from the Navy and began his general dental practice here in Surprise. For the last 14 years he has continued to develop his practice by meeting the everchanging needs of his patients. He is certified in Lumineers and Clear Correct and Cerec. And is continually improving his ability to treat his patients through multiple study groups and SPEAR Education.
