The Board accepted a proposed consent order in case number 242128 on Nov. 13, 2025, resulting in the permanent voluntary surrender of Dr. Matthew S. Mower’s license in lieu of a formal hearing.

The Virginia Board of Dentistry on Nov. 13, 2025 accepted a proposed consent order by which Matthew S. Mower, D.M.D., agreed to permanently and voluntarily surrender his license to practice dentistry in the Commonwealth, in lieu of proceeding to a formal hearing in case number 242128.
The action followed the Board’s receipt of information from Rebecca Smith, adjudication consultant, who briefed members on the proposed resolution. Dr. Alf Hendricksen moved that the Board accept the consent order for the permanent voluntary surrender of Dr. Mower’s license; after a second and a roll-call vote the motion passed. The transcript records acceptance of the consent order but does not provide the vote tally nor additional terms of the consent order beyond the description 'permanent voluntary surrender.'
The surrender is recorded as an administrative resolution of case number 242128 and removes Dr. Mower’s authority to practice in the Commonwealth. The Board took the action during the same special session that addressed summary-suspension matters; the meeting adjourned at 5:56 p.m.
Next steps: the transcript does not list any further administrative steps or whether the surrender will be entered as a consent order with terms beyond the surrender itself.
