Experience & Education
Dr. Chris Lovell
In addition to his skill as an orthodontist, it’s his respect and compassion for others that sets Dr. Lovell apart. His goal is to make braces an enjoyable, predictable experience. He believes that a visit to his office should be something pleasant, that his patients should have a say in the kind of treatment they receive, and that each patient deserves individualized patient care. Scheduling is set up to allow for quality time between doctor and patient while ensuring minimal wait time.
Dr. Lovell has 20 years experience as an orthodontist and owner of two successful practices in Colorado. He graduated in the top 10% of his dental class at Marquette University and was a member of two academic honor societies while there: Omicron Kappa Upsilon and Alpha Sigma Nu. He successfully completed additional training in a two-year residency specifically in orthodontics, also at Marquette University. He is the author of three published academic research papers. In his personal time he enjoys cooking, skiing, hiking, and traveling.
