Dr. Travis Chapman
Dr. Chapman received his bachelor of science from the University of Nevada. He attended Oregon Health Science University for his Doctor of Dental Medicine. Upon graduation, he decided to serve his country and was stationed as a Naval officer in Honolulu, Hawaii where he performed rotations in Endodontics and Oral Surgery. Once his tour was completed, he continued in private practice in downtown Honolulu. After 10 years as a general dentist, Dr. Chapman decided to return to residency to study microscopic endodontics at the University of Southern California. He completed his residency as a published chief resident studying under and alongside some of the most influential Endodontists in the country.
Dr. Chapman is originally from Hood River and is happy to have his wife and two children home. An avid outdoorsman, Travis loves the lifestyle that Hood River has to offer. Skiing, windsurfing, stand up paddling, mountain biking, outrigger canoeing; are just some of activities he enjoys.
Dr. Chapman's office is state of the art. He firmly believes that utilizing technology aids in diagnosis and treatment. Zeiss microscopes are used in all treatments for microscopic precision. A digital 3D Cone Beam (also known as a CBCT machine) is paramount in assisting with technical diagnosis. GentleWave technology presents a breakthrough alternative to standard root canal treatment. In the GentleWave Procedure, a sterilized instrument delivers a vortex of procedure fluids through your tooth, cleaning debris from canal walls and thoroughly disinfecting in the places where bacteria live. Besides all the technologies that Dr. Chapman employs for the highest quality treatment, he also has patient comfort in mind. Bose headphones with choice of music, a relaxing atmosphere, online forms, information always available and a team who is eager to cater to every patient. His philosophy is simple, providing the highest level of care available. Dr. Chapman will not schedule another patient during your appointed time to ensure that you are the complete center of attention.
