We’re so excited to welcome innovative dental technology expert, Dr. Matthew Burton, to Humpday Happy Hour™!🥳👏

Dr. Burton, DDS has not only worked as an established dental practitioner in Frankfort, Illinois since 2008, but he’s also passionate about developing innovative Class 2 matrix devices. It’s that passion that allowed him to partner with Garrison Dental Solutions in 2022, where he developed the Quad Matrix System. This is the first matrix system that allows dentists to accomplish back-to-back Class 2 composite restorations.

Dr. Burton also enjoys testing new forward-thinking technology and embraces these advancements as crucial to office efficiency and case outcomes.  He has realized the importance of digital scanning and how software integration platforms are a key element to utilizing scan data. 3D printing, Intraoral Scanning, and digital smile software are the future of dentistry. It is time for offices to begin understanding what this technology is and, more importantly, how it can be practically integrated and become extremely effective on a daily basis. 

Dr. Burton began teaching CE courses to dentists around the world in July 2020 and is enthusiastic to continue to share what he has learned and how it has helped shape a high level of care in his office.
