She’s committed to a healthy lifestyle and finds time to bike, run and lift weights every day. Dr. Rhea is committed to her community, donating her time, creativity and endless energy to many local causes and organizations.

Travis Van Roekel, DDS

Dr. Travis Van Roekel earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Iowa College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics after completing his bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Dordt University.

Dr. Van Roekel offers comprehensive dental care. Taking a foundational approach to dental care, he believes good dental health begins with preventative, routine care. He encourages his patients to maintain good oral health, as this can positively affect a patient’s overall health and well-being.

Dr. Van Roekel has a special interest in orthodontics and is Invisalign® certified. He also specializes in the placement of dental implants. He completed extensive training in dental implants through the Restorative Driven Implants program.

When he’s not seeing patients, Travis spends time outdoors hunting, fishing, golfing, biking and running. During football season, he enjoys cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes and Green Bay Packers. While at Iowa, he volunteered at Iowa Mission of Mercy. During this time, he provided free care to patients who may not have been able to afford dental care. He looks forward to continuing to volunteer within the community.
