Dr. Tramel decided to pursue dentistry as a career because he enjoys being around people and building relationships.

For instance, he has been able to travel all over the world and within his community to provide important dental services to underserved populations through Mission of Mercy, Little Rock’s Harmony Clinic, multiple Christian dental teams, and more. He couldn’t imagine doing anything else as his life’s work. Where Did You Study Dentistry? Dr. Tramel graduated from the University of Mississippi with his Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and Biology in 1977. From there, he pursued his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Tennessee Center for Health Sciences College of Dentistry, completing the program in 1982. He has completed around 50 hours of continuing education every year, including extensive training in state-of-the-art CBCT technology, which allows their team to detect pathologies in the head and neck and virtually place dental implants for elevated accuracy.
