Dr. Tanner Matone grew up in eastern Arkansas, living everywhere from Brinkley to Wynne to Beebe—where he met his wife. He graduated from college with a degree in chemistry from the University of Arkansas in 2016 and then graduated from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Dentistry in 2021. In his time with Arkansas Dental Centers, he has had the opportunity to work in many clinic locations across the state as a fill-in doctor, allowing him to treat patients from many different walks of life. On weekends, he also works with the Army National Guard, providing dental care for soldiers.

An interest in dentistry was sparked early for Dr. Matone. His father became a dentist when Tanner was 11 years old, and his first experience as a dental assistant came when he was just 16. Ever since, he knew what he wanted to do. Growing up in the Delta influenced many of Dr. Matone’s career decisions, as he could see firsthand what a lack of access to dental care meant. He is devoted to serving Arkansas communities and working to improve the quality of life for his patients.
