After graduating from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry in 1985, Dr. Gary L. Griffin D.M.D. went on to practice at Baptist Hospital East for ten years. His practice moved to its current location in 1995 under the name St. Matthews Dental Care Group.

Dr. Griffin is member of the Academy of Laser Dentistry, the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and the Kentucky Dental Association. He also belongs to numerous societies and study groups. He is licensed to practice general dentistry in Kentucky.

Through several top institutions, Dr. Griffin has received additional, specialized education.

• Dr. Griffin has achieved advanced proficiency in using the Nd-YAG laser from the Academy of Laser Dentistry.
• He was awarded an Educator's Certificate from the Academy of Laser Dentistry and the University of California, San Francisco.
• He is an accreditation candidate with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
  Dr. Griffin completed his conscious sedation training at Einstein Medical College, Monteforie Hospital, New York. Because not all general dentists are certified to use conscious sedation, his training places Dr. Griffin in a special group whose members are able to more effectively help patients with complex problems or fears.
• Dr. Griffin was granted a certificate after completing his aesthetic training at UCLA.
  He has also received training from Orognathic Bioesthetics International and the Dawson Center for Advanced Dental Studies.
