Meet Dr. 
Travis Luke

At Santa Rita Family Dentistry, we believe exceptional care starts with a strong doctor–patient connection. Dr. Travis Luke brings a warm, empathetic approach to dentistry, helping patients—especially those who feel anxious—feel heard and respected. Serving Corona De Tucson and nearby communities, he is known for his calm demeanor, clear communication, and commitment to total wellness and lasting relationships.

Education & Professional Background

Dr. Luke earned his undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from Southern Virginia University, followed by his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from Virginia Commonwealth University, a program known for its strong clinical foundation.

After dental school, Dr. Luke practiced in rural Oklahoma, providing essential care to Medicaid patients—an experience that shaped his compassionate, patient-first approach and reinforced the value of access to quality care.

Why He Chose Dentistry

Before becoming a dentist, Dr. Luke worked in customer service roles as a barista and restaurant server—early jobs that instilled in him the importance of listening, empathy, and being attentive to people's needs.

He chose dentistry not only for its blend of science and precision, but for the opportunity to build long-term relationships with patients while making a meaningful impact on their lives and health.

Areas of Interest

He is committed to making tooth extractions, root canals, and other essential services more accessible locally, so patients don’t have to drive into Tucson for treatment.

While Dr. Luke practices all aspects of general dentistry, he has a special interest in:

Root Canal Therapy

Combining technical precision with a gentle touch

Restorative Dentistry

Helping patients regain function and confidence

Emergency Dental Care

Combining technical precision with a gentle touch

Support for Dental Anxiety

Creating a calm, clear, and supportive environment with sedation options.

Personal Life & Community Roots

Dr. Luke and his wife recently moved to Tucson with their newborn, excited to build a life in a region that combines tight-knit communities with a beautiful natural backdrop. Outside the office, he enjoys hiking in the desert and local mountains, gardening with native plants, and stargazing under Southern Arizona’s clear night skies. Fluent in both English and Spanish, Dr. Luke is proud to serve the bilingual families of Corona De Tucson and nearby areas like Vail, Sahuarita, and Green Valley.
