Hello Fantastic Patients & Families of Griffin Orthodontics!
My name is Dr. David Hamm, and I am a proud born & raised Wisconsinite. Originally from Wisconsin Rapids, I moved to Milwaukee to pursue an accelerated dual-degree (Bachelor of Science & Doctor of Dental Surgery) program at Marquette University. Following my tenure at Marquette, I had the privilege to move to New York City to pursue additional training in general dentistry at the prestigious Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai located in the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
Following my time in Manhattan, I felt a calling to come back home to Wisconsin to work as a general dentist in Oconomowoc and teach part-time at Marquette University School of Dentistry. After a brief time in general dentistry, I moved to Lincoln, NE to pursue specialty training in orthodontics & dentofacial orthopedics. Upon graduating from a rigorous clinical & didactic residency, I moved back to Wisconsin to start my professional career by improving the bites & smiles of the greater-Madison area.
All-in-all, my current life story can be summed up as “You can take the Wisconsinite out of Wisconsin, but you cannot take the Wisconsin out of the Wisconsinite!”
As someone who has always strived to learn more, I am continuous committing myself to staying up-to-date with participation in study clubs and attending continuing education (CE) courses. By utilizing modern advancements & technology in orthodontics, I believe that orthodontics can be a comfortable, efficient, and pleasant experience for my patients. As a past orthodontic patient, I know firsthand the life-changing effect that orthodontic treatment can provide, and I want to pay it forward by improving the next generation of smiles and bites, for which patients can be proud.
I look forward to meeting you soon, and thank you for letting me become a part of this awesome community!
