What Sets Us Apart
Your Comfort
Our team knows that not everyone enjoys visiting their dental family. Because of that, our patients experience comfort as though they are in their own home, from warm blankets and headphones to aromatherapy.
Over the Past 40 Years, Smile Fort Worth Has Earned the Reputation as Being a Very Conveniently Located Family Practice That Saves Busy Families Time.
Our team has more than 150 years of combined dental experience, giving patients the confidence that they’re receiving the very best in dentistry from people who genuinely care.
Our Team
Dr. Matt Wilkinson
I’m Dr. Matt Wilkinson, and I’m proud to call Fort Worth home and Smile Fort Worth my practice. After attending Texas Christian University, I earned my dental degree from Boston University’s Goldman School of Dental Medicine. Throughout my career, I’ve continued to pursue advanced education in areas including dental implants, orthodontics, and cosmetic dentistry.
My approach to dentistry is simple: I want my patients to feel comfortable, informed, and confident in the decisions they make about their care. I take the time to explain what I see, why I may recommend treatment, and what benefit a patient can expect from moving forward. I welcome questions and never want someone to feel pressured into treatment. I see my role as a guide—helping patients understand their options so they can make the decisions that are right for them.
Whether we’re maintaining a healthy smile or making it more beautiful, my goal is to provide thoughtful, high-quality care in a calm and reassuring environment.
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors, pottery, and staying involved in the Fort Worth community.
Dr. David Griffin
I’m Dr. David Griffin, and I’ve had the privilege of practicing dentistry for more than 35 years. After attending Texas A&M University, I earned my dental degree from Baylor College of Dentistry. Throughout my career, I’ve always appreciated the unique combination of art, science, and personal connection that dentistry provides.
At Smile Fort Worth, I enjoy developing lasting relationships with my patients and helping them achieve healthy, confident smiles through thoughtful, personalized care.
Outside of dentistry, I enjoy spending time with my family, our dogs, traveling, and experiencing new cultures.
Chelsea
I began my career in dentistry as a dental assistant in 2006 before continuing my education to become a dental hygienist. I joined Smile Fort Worth in 2017, and I’m passionate about helping my patients improve their oral health while getting to know them on a personal level.
One of the things I love most about Smile Fort Worth is our focus on providing not only excellent dental care, but also a genuinely positive experience for every patient.
Outside of the office, my two children keep me busy with their sports and activities. In my free time, I enjoy traveling with my family, playing soccer, and going to concerts.

Dental Assistant
I have been a dental assistant since 2023, and one of the things I love most about dentistry is that it’s about more than caring for teeth—it’s about caring for people. My experience has taught me the importance of empathy, communication, and helping every patient feel comfortable and at ease.

Talicia
Orthodontic Assistant
I have been an orthodontic assistant since 2009, but my interest in orthodontics began years earlier when I went through treatment myself as a preteen. That experience inspired me to pursue a career where I could help others through their own orthodontic journeys.
I love meeting new patients, watching their smiles transform, and seeing their confidence grow throughout treatment. Building trust and meaningful relationships with my patients is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and being involved with my church. I’m grateful to be part of the Smile Fort Worth team and a practice that truly cares about its patients.
