Hi, I’m Dr. Matt Schwedfeger. I was born and raised in Rochester, NY, and graduated from McQuaid Jesuit High School. From there I moved on to Villanova University where I earned a B.S. degree in Biological Sciences. I then received my D.D.S. degree from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. After dental school, I returned home to Rochester and began one year of post-graduate training at the Strong Hospital and the Eastman Institute for Oral Health. There I received vast training in treating medically compromised and special needs patients as well as furthering my education in the areas of cosmetic and restorative dentistry and prosthodontics. 

I am an active member of the American Dental AssociationAcademy of General DentistryAmerican Academy of Dental Sleep MedicineNew York State Dental Association, and the Monroe County Dental Society.

Besides dentistry, my interests include golf, the Buffalo Bills, Buffalo Sabres, and of course Villanova basketball. I am an avid sports fan, and I love being able to share these interests with my friends and family. I currently live in Brighton with my wife, Kacey, and our two children.

Hi! I’m Viv- I am the office Manager at Village Smiles. I started with Dr. Paul (Dr. Matt’s father) in 1985 as a Dental Assistant. It’s been an incredible journey with the best people over the years. Some of them are still my very best friends. The patients have known me forever. I’ve watched children grow up and have kids of their own. Dr. Matt is like a son to me; he is such a good soul. I am so proud of practice he has taken over from his incredible dad!
I also work part time as a floral designer. I like to paint, cook, bake, garden and make crafts in my spare time. I also love to travel with my friends and family. I have two cats, Ozzy and Wednesday! I like to stream forensic shows and movies! I strive to be a generous, kind and thoughtful person like my immigrant parents instilled in me.
