With the exception of attending college and residency programs, my home has always been Bend, Oregon. I was fortunate to have been born and raised in Central Oregon and to attend college here. During high school and the first 2 years of college at COCC, I worked for veterinary clinics where I discovered my passion for dentistry. After attending COCC, I earned a BS in Nutrition Science with a double minor in Chemistry and Business at OSU. GO BEAVERS!
After OSU, I moved to Philadelphia, PA, to attend Dental School at Temple University. Implant dentistry fascinated me, so I spent a considerable amount of time learning and practicing it. All the effort resulted in earning faculty and Academy of Osseointegration awards for my work in implant dentistry. What an honor that was and still is!
Im a firm believer in continuing education which led me to a hospital-based residency for Yale University in Danbury, Connecticut. This residency afforded me the opportunity to take on cases involving multiple specialties, practicing right next to highly-specialized physicians and dentists. Scrubbing in on multiple reconstructive jaw surgeries encouraged my interest in long-term health issues such as sleep apnea. While in residency, I attended a 6-month course at NYU in implant placement and restoration.
After residency, I returned to Bend with the goal to acquire and manage my own practice, a goal I worked towards even during the recession. While looking for a practice, I worked as an associate dentist and spent time volunteering in the community. My time at Kemple Childrens Clinic, Medical Teams International Dental Van, Neighborhood Impact Head Start, and Project Connect allowed me to bring my skills and education to the community in a different way.
My beautiful, accomplished wife Jenni and I thoroughly enjoy all that Central Oregon has to offer. We spend our downtime riding mountain and dirt bikes, hiking, paddle boarding, wake-boarding, wake surfing, and enjoying the amazing restaurants in our area.
We feel very fortunate to be part of the fabric of the community where we now choose to raise our own family. Ultimately, Ive come full circle and now have the opportunity to contribute to the community with quality, personal dental care for patients of all ages.

New patient experience. Office staff were very friendly. I had a dental emergency and not only were they able to fit me in, but moved up my appointment. They offered me 2 options to fix my broken tooth. Dr Mac did an excellent job of matching tooth color and asked members of staff for their opinion showing a cohesive team. This is the best repair I have experienced.

I'm 73, so I have been in many dental offices, had X-rays, experienced dental exams & talked with a number of dentists. However, I have never experienced a better dental exam. It was so detailed and thorough. Then Dr. McCleery explained what all my options are going forward and the typical costs attached to each. This allows me to make very informed decisions. Everyone there is kind, friendly and super helpful. I'm very glad I chose this Dentist!

McCleary dental is the best dental practice I have ever been to. You can tell that his staff and Dr. Matt McCleary really care about their patients. Dr McCleary gives great advice and you can tell he is trying to do the best thing for you even if he is recommending against a procedure that might otherwise make him more money. Exceptional care! He even saw my father who was having a dental problem but was visiting from out of town last year.

Dr Matt and his staff are amazing. As an RN administrator who can quickly spot a cohesive, effective team of health care professionals, I can confidently recommend McCleery Dental. They treat my entire family, including my young children, like olds friends they've missed dearly. Each visit is comfortable and accommodating, professional and informative. Can't say enough! -Justin, Katie, Lilly, and Sammy Elder

I brought my 88 year old Mom to McCleery Dental for a 2 hour appointment. She uses a walker and was nervous since she was meeting a new dentist. Her experience was excellent. The staff were patient and helped her move around. It was a success!
