Dr. Phillippe Freeman has been practicing dentistry since 1995. He graduated from Oregon Health Sciences University with restorative dentistry and implant dentistry honors. He has concentrated on aspiring to performing restorative dentistry at a level most dentists would prefer for themselves. This means a break from the routine business model for doing dentistry in a “general dentistry” setting. This is exemplified by the warranties Dr. Freeman can offer on his services not seen in a typical dental practice. Dr. Freeman has participated in many post-graduate programs in the arenas of restorative, implant, prosthetic and cosmetic dentistry while studying full mouth rehabilitation concepts and dental materials.
In 2017 he received a Master’s Certificate from the Academy of General Dentistry. The AGD is the governing body in dentistry that tracks and provides credentials for the continuing education for dentists. In order to obtain a Master’s Certificate, a dentist must first earn Fellowship status which requires 500 hours of approved continuing education in every aspect of dentistry and a rigorous board exam. After that, 1100 hours of approved hands-on training and continuing education is required to obtain the Master status.
That year, ninety-nine dentists across the globe earned the Master’s Certificate. Two were from Oregon. One from the Portland area and the other right here in Bend, Oregon. . . Dr. Freeman!!!
Dr. Freeman married his wife in the summer of 1990 and has two daughters born in 1991 and 1995. Both daughters have kept him busy attending sporting events throughout their childhood while maintaining a busy continuing education and professional schedule.
When not spending time with his family, Dr. Freeman is an avid outdoorsman and enjoys snow skiing, water skiing, hiking, fishing, camping, training dogs and recreational sports.
