Dr. Chad Gennings | General Dentist

Like all of us, Dr. Chad Gennings was drawn to Golden by its mountains and rivers. A graduate of the UBC dental program, he has been practicing dentistry in Golden since 2004. His scope of practice includes restorative, prosthodontic, and endodontic treatment, as well as surgical and implant procedures. On occasion, Dr. Gennings works in northern Nunavut, providing services to communities that lack a full-time dentist. Believing that patient education is the key to a healthy smile, he takes time to carefully explain to patients how to achieve and maintain optimal oral health.
