Meet Dr. Matt Corbin
Dr. Matt Corbin is an Air Force veteran with premier dental training, local roots, and a deep passion to serve his community. Born and raised in Franklin, he draws on a nearly 200-year heritage in Macon County. His passion for the local community and desire to serve others is what drove Dr. Corbin to the field of dentistry.
In 2010, Dr. Corbin completed his Bachelor of Science degree at Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, NC where he played two collegiate sports. During college, Dr. Corbin met his beautiful wife, Charissa and they married in the Spring of 2011 before beginning dental school at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. During dental school, he excelled clinically and served as President of the American Student Dental Association and Student Representative on the North Carolina Dental Society Board of Trustees. He served as the dental school Representative in the Graduate and Professional Student Federation and received the James A. Harrell Citizenship and Leadership Award for outstanding leadership in dentistry, community, place of worship, and higher education. He completed research with the Graduate Operative Department and served at free dental clinics both locally and abroad, including directing dental mission trips to Guatemala and Peru.
After graduating dental school in 2015, he was commissioned as an officer in the United States Air Force and completed a 1-year residency program where he furthered his knowledge and skills in many advanced specialty aspects of dentistry. He then took an assignment to serve a 3-year tour at a remote location in Alaska, where he practiced advanced surgical and cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Corbin led his team to multiple awards, including Air Force Small Dental Clinic of the Year. He and his wife introduced two beautiful girls into the world during their time in Alaska. Sadie Ann and Josie Lee are their most precious possessions.
Dr. Corbin is so honored to be back and serve Macon County, North Carolina, this great place we call home.
