Meet Dr. Robert Matthews
Dr. Robert Matthews, DMD, Pediatric Dentist
My staff and I have been providing exceptional dental care for children and adult patients for more than 13 years. I continue to dedicate my profession to making a difference in the daily lives. Our work improves the quality of life for children of all ages and continues to help prepare them for a practicing good dental care.
We pledge not only to meet your expectations, but also to exceed them. Your interaction with The Kids Dentist office staff begins long before you enter our office for a consultation. We ensure all mediums of communication are designed to meet your needs. From your first telephone contact, to your warm in-office welcome, through your child’s time in treatment, and your comfort in asking questions, we take the opportunity to show you why we’re the best.
Education and Continuing Education
Dr. Matthews received his undergraduate degree from American International College before moving on to achieving his Doctor of Dental Medicine from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. Originally from Chicopee, he now resides in Wilbraham, MA on his 82-acre fruit orchard where he enjoys spending time tending to his farm. He also enjoys outdoor sporting activities along with working on old cars and motorcycles. He loves spending time with his family, including his parents and his dog Missy. His father is a proud Air Force Veteran who served in World War II.
Following the completion of Dental School, he completed a two year Pediatric Dental residency at Children’s Hospital of Michigan and the University of Detroit Mercy. Children’s Hospital of MI is an inner city hospital and primary trauma center which provided him with experience in treating all types of pediatric dental cases.
Upon graduating, he bought an existing pediatric dental practice. It didn’t take long for the practice to more than double in size which lead him to expand his Kids Dentist into West Springfield, MA and more recently, KD Orthodontics.
He describes himself as a life-long learner and considers himself fortunate to have selected a profession where there are always opportunities to improve his skills, both clinically and in the best ways to care for children. Dr. Matthews seeks out career development opportunities for himself and his staff on a continuous basis.
