Meet the Doctors
Dr. Gavin Trogdon and Dr. Brittany Stroope are excited to provide the families of their community with exceptional dental care.
Dr. Gavin Trogdon, DDS
Dr. Gavin Trogdon is originally from Omaha, Nebraska but has been living in Arkansas since 2013. After graduating from the University of Nebraska in 2006 with a degree in biochemistry, he graduated with honors from the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry in 2010.
Dr. Trogdon began his dental career in Nebraska, but after a few years, he decided to take a job closer to his family in Colorado. While working there, he met his wife, Dr. Brittany Stroope, who is the orthodontist at our practice. They then decided to move to Hot Springs, AR to be closer to family, and after two years of managing an all orthodontic and pediatric dental practice, they moved to Northwest Arkansas. They love the area and couldn’t be more excited to be living here!
Dr. Trogdon’s dental philosophy is simple: treat patients exactly how he would want to be treated as a patient. That means delivering excellent care using leading-edge technology in a fun and welcoming atmosphere. It also means giving patients autonomy when making treatment decisions. He gives you all the facts and options and you decide what best suits your needs and goals.
When not at work, he enjoys fishing, running, cycling, and playing soccer. And although he is learning to call the Hogs, the Cornhuskers will always be his favorite football team.
Dr. Brittany Stroope, DMD, MSD

She attended college at Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas and received her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry.
