Why Did You Decide to
Become a Dentist?
From a very early age, Dr. Schrimper’s mother encouraged him to pursue a job in the medical field. She believed in him and wanted him to succeed more than anything, and that unwavering support has been a huge source of inspiration throughout his life.
As a kid, Dr. Schrimper also spent lots of time hanging out with his best friend’s family – especially his dad, who was a dentist. Getting to see “behind of the scenes” of what it was like to have that job left a big impact on him, and soon enough, he found himself pursuing the same path. Today, he couldn’t imagine doing anything else!
Where Did You
Study Dentistry?
After completing his undergraduate degree at North Carolina State University, Dr. Schrimper pursued his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of North Carolina. Once he graduated in 1994, he began practicing right here in Rocky Mount, staying close to his hometown of Raleigh. Continuing education is a big passion for him to this day as well! He has completed many of the prestigious Pankey Institute’s courses, as well as available trainings at the Nash Institute and Dawson Institute. Some of his main focuses include cosmetic dentistry, TMJ treatment, CEREC restorations, and root canal therapy. He is currently a Invisalign provider and a member of the American Dental Association and North Carolina Dental Society.
