Welcome Dr. Trevor McCollough
January 27, 2025Park Dental is excited to welcome Dr. Trevor McCollough! Dr. McCollough will be practicing at our Downtown Duluth location.
In 1995, Dr. McCollough received his Bachelor of Science in physics from North Dakota State University in Fargo, North Dakota. Later, in 1997, he obtained his Master of Science in mechanical engineering from the University of Minnesota. Most recently in 2017, he received his Doctor of Dental Medicine from the University of New England in Portland, Maine.
When asked what Dr. McCollough enjoys most about dentistry, he said, “I enjoy all aspects of dentistry, especially the opportunity to interact with patients and help guide those in need to stable oral health with the end goal of optimal oral health.”
Initially, Dr. McCollough was not drawn to dentistry as a career, as his fear of the dentist when he was young is why he overlooked dentistry as a career option. His career started in physics and engineering where he worked primarily in aerospace R&D and analysis. That career eventually led him to the field of dentistry. Dr. McCollough said, “in many ways, my dental education is an extension and refinement of those skills and experiences.”
Dr. McCollough thinks that getting to know patients, their desires and concerns, and helping them achieve optimal oral health is a great privilege. Dr. McCollough added, “I pride myself on looking out for the long term for every patient with a goal of retaining natural teeth, through regular maintenance, for a lifetime of use. All this while keeping patients as comfortable and relaxed as possible.”
Dr. McCollough grew up in Mora, Minnesota on a small farm. Since then, he and his family have lived in many locations where his engineering career and dental training took them. Dr. McCollough and his family enjoy traveling and taking in the unique aspects of areas new to them. Locally, they enjoy the great outdoors available in and around Duluth. Two of their favorites are skiing and mountain biking. He also enjoys ‘tinkering’ and home improvements. He and his wife live in Duluth with their daughter Ainsley, son Ian (when he is home from college), and their Bernese Mountain dog, Dozer.
