Dr. Carol Mattox

Dentist

Dental Wellness of Lexington

Dr. Mattox’s interests and expertise in dentistry focus on patient education, oral surgery, implants, and long-term restoration of dental function. Dr. Mattox pursued her doctorate at the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry, where she graduated with honors and received awards for outstanding achievement in prosthodontics and oral radiology.

Dr. Mattox remains active in the College of Dentistry, serving as an Associate Instructor of prosthodontics and as a member of the Admissions Committee.

She is a master at rebuilding patient self-confidence by replenishing their smile and improving their oral health.

Dr. Mattox is an owner of Dental Wellness of Lexington and is instrumental in the success of DOCS Education’s IV sedation dentistry program. She finds, prescreens, and oversees all patient procedures for our IV students to work on during their clinical sessions.

Dr. Mattox was raised on a farm in a small town in the northern part of Kentucky. As a child, she was relentlessly teased because of her “buck teeth”; to make matters worse, her parents allowed her unfettered access to soda and candy, which led to the need for several extensive dental procedures. Thankfully, she was able to visit the same family dentist for many years, a man who consistently showed an interest in her as a person and a good student; he even encouraged her to become a dentist from the time she was 10 years old, and all the way up to her college years!

Meanwhile, Carol’s self-confidence grew as her teeth were gradually corrected, and she even enjoyed guessing what type of wire would be used next at each orthodontic appointment. These experiences fostered a lifelong passion for the field of oral healthcare and a desire to make other patients as happy as her dentist had made her through dentistry.

Dr. Mattox and her husband, Nathan, have two daughters, Abigail and Ansley. Outside of oral healthcare, one of Carol’s biggest passions is training for marathons and half marathons. She enjoys participating in a variety of exercises, from running with friends to attending spin classes to weightlifting. Other interests include crafting, baking, and watching her daughters compete in sports such as archery, academic team meets, golf, and basketball.
