I love being a dentist. For the past 25 years, I have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people, and the friendships that Ive built with my patients and their families are one in a million. It has always been my focus to make each patient feel at home when they come to me for treatment and I work hard to give my patients the one on one attention they deserve.
Dr. Camfield graduated fromSouthern Illinois University with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. He obtained his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from Southern Illinois University's School of Dental Medicine in 1995.
By regularly participating in continuing education, I am aware of the latest technology and dental treatments. My patients deserve the best, and continuing education allows me to provide my patients with more options and better results.
I have completed requirements for Fellowship in both the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) and the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD). The ICOI Fellowship is awarded for completing 125 hours of Continuing Education in conjunction with live patient surgical instruction in implant dentistry. The AGD Fellowship is awarded for completing 500 hours of Continuing Education and passing and extensive exam covering all aspects of dentistry. This advanced education designation is held by less than 7% of dentists nationwide.
In addition to my two fellowships, I have completed four separate post-graduate programs since graduating from dental school: The Misch International Implant Institute, The Dawson Center for Advanced Dental Study, and The Schuster Center for Professional Development.
In 2020, I graduated from one of dentistry's most prestigious teaching centers The Kois Center, in Seattle, Washington. The Kois Center is part of an educational network of Kois trained dentists who have made the commitment to a rigorous (222 hour) didactic and hands on training program. It is the only Continuing Education program in the country conducting and publishing independent research. It is a self funded learning center, which means, it does not accept sponsorship funding. This creates a learning environment without the sway of an agenda of dental product sponsors.
