Christian Triand, DMD, is the newest dentist at Stockton Dental Center and is honored to continue the tradition of compassionate, high-quality dentistry established by Dr. Stephen Petras. Before earning his dental degree from Midwestern University, Dr. Triand completed his undergraduate studies at Marquette University.
Immediately following graduation, Dr. Triand was invited to return to Midwestern as a faculty member, teaching first-year dental students in their laboratory coursework. He was the youngest dentist among his colleagues entrusted with this responsibility – an honor he credits to his involvement as an ADCFP Fellow during his graduate studies.
Dr. Triand has devoted most of his career to public health dentistry, most recently serving a remote Native American tribe in northwest Washington state – well known in popular culture from the Twilight film series. Prior to his arrival, the community had gone years without stable access to a full-time dentist. Dr. Triand provided comprehensive care, updated clinical systems, and helped improve long-term access to treatment for the tribe’s families.
