Get to know Dentist Dr. Bruce A. Matson, who serves patients in Houston, Texas.

Dr. Matson is a competent family dentist creating beautiful smiles at his private practice in Houston, Texas. He is committed to delivering the highest quality dental care and does so using advanced dental equipment. 

He offers services like checkups, teeth cleaning, crowns, veneers, and more. He also performs emergency dentist services that include bonding, root canals, crowns, and bridges. As a local dentist, he creates lifelong relationships with his patients and their families and works to ensure that they receive treatments in a comfortable and relaxed environment.

Inspired by his father who won silver and bronze in the 1952 Olympics and whose successful career earned him a place in the NFL Hall of Fame, Dr. Matson believes in the power of hard work and attention to detail. He brings that philosophy into his practice of dentistry, making sure that each and every patient receives a world-class standard of dental care.

A native Californian who won all-district basketball and football in Los Angeles, he completed his undergraduate degree in Chemistry and Biology and received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1989 from the University of Texas Dental Branch in Houston.

Keeping his professional skills current through frequent continuing education, Dr. Matson has been a member of the American Orthodontic Society since 1998 with certification in Straight Wire Orthodontics. He completed endodontic certification in 2001 and certification by the Institute for Advanced Dental Studies in 2006. Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.

As a testament to his success, Houston Magazine nominated Dr. Matson as one of the city’s Top Dentists in 2008 and 2009.

On a more personal note, he is a devoted husband to Jocelyn Matson and father of two children, Kyle and Paige.
