Dr. Matthew J. Wiggs D.M.D
Dr. Matthew Wiggs was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he attended Broughton High School. After graduating with honors from Wake Forest University with a degree in biology and chemistry, he followed in his father’s footsteps and entered the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. He earned his D.M.D. degree in 2011 and began a year-long General Practice Residency program at the University of Louisville Hospital.
This residency provided advanced training in all aspects of general dentistry within a hospital setting. The education included preventive and restorative dentistry, children’s dentistry, crown and bridge procedures, aesthetic and highly functional partial and complete dentures, implant retained over dentures, endodontics (root canals), periodontal treatment and surgery, teeth whitening, LASER training, implant placement and restoration, and aesthetic anterior crown and veneer cases. The hospital setting and patient base also greatly increased his knowledge and ability to handle medically compromised patients as well as emergencies that ranged from car accidents to dental abscesses and other tooth pain.
Dr. Wiggs returned to Raleigh during the summer of 2012 and joined his father at Wiggs Family Dentistry, where he continues to apply all aspects of his training. After a year long training at the Triangle Dental Institute, Matthew Wiggs has earned a fellowship status in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI). It is the world's largest dental implant organization as well as the world's largest provider of continuing education on dental implants.
Dr. Wiggs is married to Dr. CarolAnn Henline Wiggs. They have 2 sons, Cooper and Cole. Dr. CarolAnn Wiggs is a physical therapist in Raleigh.
