Dr. Matthew Gawlas, DMD

Early Inspiration Dr. Gawlas knew from a rather young age that he wanted to be a dentist. He himself spent many hours in the chair as a child and saw the difference a happy and healthy smile made for him. He wanted to give that same feeling to others, confidence in smiling.

Patient Advocacy and Care

Dr. Gawlas is an advocate for his patients, making them healthier and
happier as he maintains and restores their oral health which directly affects
their overall wellbeing. In doing such, Dr. Gawlas performs thorough exams
and gets to know all aspects about his patients and their medical history to
ensure he is offering his patients the optimum care possible.

Professional Journey

Dr. Gawlas spent his first 5 years practicing in Denver, CO. Dr Gawlas had his
first taste of ownership in 2015 when he opened a practice in the Denver
suburbs of Arvada. He and his wife Maggie are avid skiers and outdoor
enthusiasts, so they thoroughly enjoyed everything the Rocky Mountains had
to offer. As much as they loved Colorado, all their family resides in DE and
PA, and in 2018, with baby #2 on the way, they decided to move back east.
Dr. Gawlas has been practicing in DE since then and in May of 2021 he
purchased the practice from Dr Rowen. He truly embraces the family practice
legacy that Dr Rowen has created over the years and will continue to keep
the practice a privately owned establishment where every patient will see
friendly, familiar faces at each visit.

Family Comes First

As a father of 4 girls, Dr. G puts a strong emphasis on family. From beaches
to lakes, soccer fields to dance recitals, much of his time outside the office is
spent with his crew! He loves to travel, cook, and passionately enjoys all
things sports. He is excited to get to know each and every patient that
chooses Gawlas Family Dental to be their dental home and will treat you as if
you were part of the family.
