Dr. Travis Blaich was born and raised in Poplar Bluff and is proud to call Butler county his home. He is the youngest son of Dr. Rick and the husband of Dr. Lauren.  Travis graduated from Drury University with a degree in biology and went on to attend the University of Missouri Kansas City School of Dentistry to pursue his dream of becoming a dentist. Dr.Travis loves both the surgical and cosmetic aspects of dentistry, particularly implants and wisdom teeth extractions.   Dr. Travis is truly passionate about the dental field.  Perhaps, his greatest joy from dentistry doesn’t always come from practicing dentistry, but getting to know his patients and the stories they bring with them.  Dr.Travis whole-heartily believes that no one should have to be self conscious or unhappy with his or her smile due to any limitations; and he is fully committed to your needs. Dr. Travis prides himself in practicing very conservative dentistry, only doing what is medically essential and taking great care to preserve the integrity of the teeth God has given us.  When he is away from the office, Travis enjoys to duck hunt, farm, sail, and volunteer with Boy Scouts of America and Ducks Unlimited. He fully intends to make Poplar Bluff his career home and hopes to one day be blessed to serve your family.
