Specialties
At Dove Family Dentistry we take the time to listen to our patients to find out what they want, whether that means simply maintaining their smile where it is at or doing extensive cosmetic work.
Dr. Vantramp believes that it is important to make sure the treatment plan is realistic and attainable for each patient. When discussing treatment options, Dr. Vantramp will often tell patients which treatment he would choose if it where one of his family members. With any treatment plan, we equip patients with all of the facts so they may become active participants and make informed decisions regarding the care they receive.

Business Owner
Dr. Roland Vantramp was born into a family of dairy farmers in Nebraska and is the second oldest of 15 children.
After graduating high school, he attended the University of South Dakota where he met and married his wife "Charlie," a dental hygiene student.
Dr. Vantramp was able to complete his Bachelor of Science degree by attending classes in the early morning hours and working late into the night doing construction in the housing industry. The greatest joy, however, of those undergraduate years was the birth of his two daughters.
With the love and support of his hard working wife, Charlie, he graduated from the Michael Cardone, Senior School of Dentistry in 1982. During the graduation ceremony, Dr. Vantramp was recognized by the Oklahoma Academy of General Dentistry as the senior student who demonstrated the greatest promise of becoming an outstanding general dentist. He now practices exclusively in Puyallup.
