I’m Judd Chamberlain, DDS.

My Dental Philosophy

My small-town roots have shaped my client-centered approach, where I prioritize respecting the dental choices of my patients and embrace a conservative approach to treatment.

I'm here to have open, collaborative conversations with you about your oral health options and preferences.

Your smile is as unique as you are, and together, we can work as a team to ensure your oral health is in its very best shape because your smile deserves individualized care and attention.

Elevation Family Dental’s Unique Difference

What sets me apart from other family dentists is my commitment to ongoing education. This has included an additional voluntary year of clinical training in dental specialties after dental school, and, for five years, directing a post-graduate dental educational program through the Marillac Clinic.

This enables Elevation Family Dental to offer a variety of specialty treatments in-house, from root canals to implants and extractions. I'm deeply invested in staying up-to-date with the latest dental technologies, techniques, and materials.

Education

  • Bachelors of Science in Physiology from the University of Wyoming, Summa Cum Laude

  • Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Omicron Kappa Upsilon

  • Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) from the Veteran Affairs Hospital System in San Antonio, Texas

Experience

  • Private Practice, Laramie Wyoming, including serving as the team dentist for University of Wyoming Athletics

  • Veteran Affairs Dental Clinic, Colorado Springs, Colorado

  • Marillac Clinic, Grand Junction, where I worked a combined six years and served as the Associate Dental Director and Program Site Director for NYU’s AEGD program and as Clinic Supervisor for dental students from Denver and Arizona

About Me

  • Outdoors & Family Man: Dr. Chamberlain enjoys rafting, fishing, motorbiking, and growing a garden (specifically to make salsa). While he loves when one or both of his kids will join him on a hike, he is also very happy to support their preferred pursuits.

  • Superstitious? Maybe. After Dr. Chamberlain’s first visit to Grand Junction, he knew that he wanted to come back. So much so that he heeded the warnings of the area’s “Dirt Curse” and washed every spec of dirt from his travel vehicle. It wasn’t long before the Grand Valley beckoned him home for good.
