General Dentist · DDS
Dr. Garretson began his dental career in San Antonio, Texas, after earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Texas Health Science Center. Prior to dental school, he graduated from Wake Forest University with a degree in Chemistry.
After completing his training, he returned home to North Carolina and practiced in High Point while living in Winston-Salem. Since the start of his career, he has been committed to continuing education, earning advanced training in oral and IV sedation, implant placement, endodontics, and cosmetic dentistry.
Service has always been at the heart of Dr. Garretson’s work. From his early years in dental school, he developed a passion for caring for underserved communities—volunteering with the Community Care Center, the Baptist Men’s Dental Ministry, and participating in mission trips to Mexico, Costa Rica, and Guatemala.
After spending several years in the Asheville area, Dr. Garretson is excited to return to the Piedmont and join the team at Luna Dental.
Outside of dentistry, Dr. Garretson and his wife enjoy their now-quiet home with two dogs and two cats. He has four young adult children and, in his free time, you can often find him on the squash court or playing music with friends.
Owner & Dentist · DDS
Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, Dr. Matt moved to Clemmons at age 10 and grew up in the Clemmons West neighborhood. He now lives in Winston-Salem with his wife, Emily, their newborn son, Oliver, and their beloved goldendoodle, Luna. With deep roots in the local community, Dr. Matt graduated from West Forsyth High School, continued his studies at NC State, and earned his dental degree from ECU in 2018.
Dr. Matt acquired Luna Dental from Dr. Austin Temple with the vision of creating a warm, relationship-driven environment where patients feel truly cared for. Drawing on his years of hands-on clinical experience, he remains actively involved behind the scenes to ensure every visit exceeds expectations.
Family is central to Dr. Matt’s life. With his parents nearby in Clemmons, Sunday porch dinners are a cherished tradition. Now, with baby Oliver in the mix and Luna proudly taking on the role of big sister, life has never been fuller.
Outside of the dental world, Dr. Matt enjoys cooking, traveling, golfing, reading, and spending time with loved ones. And as a proud Pittsburgh Steelers fan, he’s easy to spot on game days—just don’t hold it against him! Whether you see him in the office or around town, Dr. Matt is committed to building a dental experience that feels like family.
