A Hands-On Leader with a Vision for Better Care
When you walk into Goodlettsville Family Dental, it doesn’t feel like a typical dental office. The technology is modern, the staff is calm, and the tone is warm. That’s no accident—it’s the result of Dr. Jeffrey Mathews’ deliberate effort to “make every visit feel like a step forward, not just a checkup.”
Dr. Mathews, a native of East Tennessee, has built his career around that mindset. Since earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Medicine in 2011, he’s pushed to redefine what quality and aesthetic dentistry mean in his community.
“We diagnose and treat every patient as if they were a best friend or family member,” he says. “Integrity isn’t a slogan—it’s how we decide what’s right for each person’s health.”
From Small-Town Roots to Big-Picture Dentistry
After dental school, Dr. Mathews didn’t stop learning. He completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) program focused on full-mouth rehabilitation, aesthetics, and implant dentistry. “That year of advanced training changed everything,” he recalls. “It taught me to look at the mouth not just tooth by tooth, but as part of a full system—connected to how people look, feel, and live.”
Today, that systems-based approach guides his work. He’s known for comprehensive cosmetic and restorative treatments, including dental implants, veneers, Invisalign, and professional whitening. His practice also offers facial esthetic procedures like Botox and fillers—services that complement his goal of helping patients feel confident and complete.
“I love connecting with people,” Dr. Mathews explains. “When someone walks out smiling again after years of hiding their teeth, it changes their whole life. That’s why this work matters.”
Building a Technologically Advanced Practice
One of the cornerstones of Dr. Mathews’ success is his commitment to technology. Digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and precision diagnostics are standard tools at Goodlettsville Family Dental. “Technology doesn’t replace good judgment,” he says. “It enhances it. It lets us see more clearly and treat more effectively.”
That combination of expertise and innovation has helped his practice become known for high-quality, aesthetic dentistry that blends science and artistry. “We set the bar for what quality looks like in our community,” Dr. Mathews notes. “Every decision we make—materials, techniques, or design—comes back to improving someone’s quality of life.”
A Philosophy Grounded in Integrity and Impact
For Dr. Mathews, dentistry isn’t just about procedures—it’s about purpose. His guiding principle is simple: do what’s best for the patient, every time. “Our treatment plans are always our best judgment of what’s needed to reach full oral and systemic health,” he says. “If we wouldn’t recommend it to family, we won’t recommend it to a patient.”
That philosophy extends beyond his dental chair. As a real estate investor and licensed realtor, Dr. Mathews applies the same long-term, people-first approach. “Real estate is another way to build community,” he shares. “It’s about improving spaces where people live and connect—just like in dentistry, you’re helping create something lasting.”
Training Beyond Dentistry: The Art of Facial Esthetics
Dr. Mathews’ expertise goes beyond teeth. His additional training with the American Academy of Facial Esthetics and the International Academy of Facial Esthetics allows him to offer cosmetic treatments that frame and balance the smile. “It’s not just about the teeth,” he says. “It’s about the face, the expression, the confidence behind it.”
He’s been providing facial injections, including Botox and fillers, for over a decade. For many patients, it’s a seamless extension of their dental care. “When someone’s smile lines soften, and they can’t stop grinning—that’s the best part,” he says with a laugh. “You can see them light up.”
A Culture of Compassion and Excellence
At the core of Goodlettsville Family Dental is a team culture rooted in compassion, honesty, and excellence. Dr. Mathews describes his colleagues as “providers who care deeply and raise the bar in quality and aesthetic standards.” Together, they’ve built a reputation for integrity-based dentistry that blends clinical mastery with genuine empathy.
“Our work has real impact,” Dr. Mathews reflects. “We relieve pain, restore health, and bring back confidence. That’s what makes every day exciting—seeing lives improve because of what we do.”
Looking Ahead: The Future of Aesthetic Dentistry
As dentistry continues to evolve, Dr. Mathews is focused on staying at the cutting edge. He believes the future lies in integrated, whole-health approaches that treat oral health as part of overall wellness. “The mouth tells a story about the body,” he says. “Our job is to listen—and help write a better next chapter.”
It’s that forward-looking mindset, paired with humility and care, that makes Dr. Mathews stand out among his peers. His story isn’t about building an empire. It’s about building trust—one patient, one smile, one improved life at a time.
“Dentistry isn’t just fixing teeth,” he concludes. “It’s restoring confidence, dignity, and health. That’s what keeps me passionate, even after all these years.”
