Meet Dr. Matt McCoy, DDS, MS

"I feel honored to be trusted by neighbors and members of our community by helping them improve their oral health and increase their self-confidence by enhancing their beautiful smiles."

I chose a career in orthodontics because I love meeting new people and because I knew helping others discover their best smile was incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. Now that I’ve been doing solely orthodontic treatment for several years, I’ve come to appreciate more fully how impactful my treatment can be for my patients’ overall health (See The Adventure Difference). I’ve come to learn that a smile is so much more than straight teeth and that by being as thorough as I can in my treatment approach, my orthodontic treatment can be a positive influence in my patients’ lives and health, even many years down the road. Everyone should experience LIFE SMILING! I feel honored to be trusted by neighbors and members of our community by helping them improve their oral health and increase their self-confidence by enhancing their beautiful smiles.
