Dr. Chad Garrison
I was born and raised in a small cattle ranch outside of Shawnee. Growing up, both of my parents were educators.
I graduated from Shawnee High School in 1989, then attended East Central State University on a basketball and baseball scholarship and majored in Biology. I got accepted into University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry in 1992 and graduated in 1996.
I was blessed to receive and IHS scholarship during dental school and started my career working for The Cherokee Nation in Jay, Ok. During my 6 years with CN, I started a private practice Precision Dental in Jay, and shortly thereafter with the help of my business partners, opened Lakehaven Dental in Grove.
I was blessed with 2 great partners; Drs Chris Wilcox and Stefan Hacker. My wife and I, along with my dad, purchased the Carrol Farm in Talala in 2006 and made the tough decision to move west. We enjoyed our time in Delaware County but felt God moving us in this direction. All Smiles Dental and Dentures was established around Labor Day, 2007. The community has welcomed us with open arms, we feel so grateful. My wife Candace and I have 4 kids, Kelsey, Grace, Matthew, and Joshua. We enjoy living on the cattle ranch, spending time in the great outdoors, and exercising.
I’m a member of the ADA, ODA, and complete CE every year to keep up with the latest advancements in Dentistry. I pride myself on treating each patient like family. I adhere to “The Golden Rule”, which my parents instilled in me at a young age. I look forward to welcoming you and your family to our practice.
