Dentist Thomas P. Kearns recently announced that his son, Travis T. Kearns, has joined his practice — Associated Dental Arts of Oswego.
“I am fortunate to have Dr. Travis by my side to help provide the best dental health to the Oswego and surrounding community,” he said.
Travis received his undergraduate degree from Clemson University.
“He received the same dental education as me at the No. 1 ranked dental school in the world, the University of Michigan,” his father added.
After completing his dental education in 2021, Travis continued his training at a general practice residency program at Mercy Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri.
“He brings a wealth of updated knowledge and dental procedures, along with his drive and desire to provide the highest level of dental care possible,” his father said.
He will also continue to perform in-office root canals using a state of the art rotary instrumentation, a technique to more effectively clean and seal a tooth. He will continue the office’s practice of conservative air abrasion dentistry (microdenistry). “This technique enables us to conserve as much natural tooth structure as possible,” the senior Kearns explained.
Travis will also use digital photography to educate and enhance the dental experience, always looking to provide the best esthetic dental care possible in the most conservative manner.
Along with his love of dentistry, Travis is a huge sports fan. He particularly follows the St. Louis Blues, Cubs, Detroit Lions, and the Clemson and Michigan football teams. In his spare time you will find him working out and occasionally playing a game or two of online poker.
He is a member of the American Dental Society and The Academy of General Dentistry.
“I will continue to see patients and with Dr. Travis by my side, I feel confident we will continue to provide the community with the best dental health available,” Thomas Kearns said.
The elder Kearns has been practicing dentistry in Oswego for more than 30 years. He provides a wide range of dental services.
