Dr. Chris Mattingly has been practicing orthodontics since 1991 in Louisville, Bardstown, and Lebanon. After graduating from Ballard High School, he attended Centre College and was admitted to the University of Louisville School of Dentistry after two years of undergraduate work.
Dr. Mattingly undertook a two-year residency in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics in 1991 at the University of Louisville, while simultaneously obtaining a Master's Degree in Oral Biology. He also completed his American Board of Orthodontic Diplomate certification in 2006.
Staying at the leading edge of orthodontics has always been a high priority for Dr. Mattingly. He is involved in several clubs, such as the 80s Orthodontic Study Club and the University of Louisville Alumni Association and is an active member of many associations, including:
Dr. Mattingly has also served as the president of the Kentucky Association of Orthodontics and the Louisville Dental Society, as well as leadership positions with the Southern Association of Orthodontists.
Dr. Mattingly was appointed by the Governor to serve on the Kentucky Board of Dentistry from 2017 to 2020. To him, giving back to the dental profession is an honor, but his true passion lies in programs that help the less fortunate.
Dr. Mattingly has traveled numerous times to Guatemala with Hearts in Motion and Bellarmine University to deliver dental care. Click here to see pictures from a recent trip to Guatemala.
While in dental school, Dr. Mattingly met and married Dr. Jo Mattingly, who taught at UL School of Dentistry and practiced general dentistry in Louisville before passing away in 2014.
They have two daughters, Jordan and Mckenzie, who are incredible young ladies and carry on their mother's beautiful spirit every day. Both continued in the dental tradition with Jordan graduating from dental school in 2017 and Mckenzie from dental hygiene school in 2015. Jordan tragically passed away in 2020 from Leukemia and has joined her mother as Dr. Mattingly's and Mckenzie's guardian angels.
Dr. Mattingly married Ms. Colette Delaney in 2018. Colette is from Louisville and has been a professional actress and singer at Derby Dinner Playhouse, The Stephen Foster Drama, The Mid-Kentucky Chorus, and various churches. Ms. Colette has 2 grown children, Daniel and Sedona who share their mother's gentle heart.
The staff at Mattingly and Howell are so friendly and great with my very curious and energetic 8 year old! Dr. Mattingly was very thorough in explaining his treatment plan. Looking forward to seeing the end results!
After everything I’ve been through with ovarian cancer, a double lung transplant, and a long recovery journey, being able to start Invisalign feels like a dream come true. The team at Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics has made this experience so special. They have been kind, welcoming, compassionate, and professional every step of the way.They took the time to answer my questions, make me feel comfortable, and genuinely cared about helping me achieve the smile I’ve always wanted. For the first time in a long time, I’m looking forward to a smile that will truly change my life. I am so grateful for their care and highly recommend them to anyone considering orthodontic treatment.
What a great experience! From making our appointment the staff was so friendly and helpful- they got us in quickly for a consultation and the meeting was great- the staff and Dr. Mattingly was so good with our daughter- chatting with her about things and how things woild work if we started the program- our first appointment went well getting our retainers. Dr. Mattingly even called the next day to check on us. It was so thoughtful- you may think that this is a larger practice and you might not get personalized attention- well that is the farthest thing from the truth- we have already been so impressed and would absolutely recommend this office to anyone - we are very happy with our decision to choose Dr. Mattingly
Great experience with everyone there. Mr Mattingly was fantastic
Amazing results and amazing people!! The best staff ever! My Invisalign went great. Dr. Chris and team ensure an amazing experience
