Meet Dr. Graydon Carr
About me
Being an orthodontist is truly my passion. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting so many wonderful individuals and building meaningful connections with my patients and their families. These relationships are incredibly special to me and are at the heart of why I love what I do. My goal has always been to create a warm, welcoming environment where each patient feels at home during their treatment journey. I take pride in giving my patients the personalized care and attention they deserve.
Education/Experience
I began my journey in dentistry at the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry. Following this, I specialized in orthodontics, earning my orthodontic specialty certificate and master’s degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Orthodontic Residency Program. After completing my education, I returned to California to begin practicing in the greater Sacramento area, honing my skills and working with diverse patients.
Pursuing excellence has always been a priority for me. In 2020, I earned my board certification from the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO). This rigorous process involved being evaluated by peers on clinical skills and knowledge, and achieving this certification reflects my dedication to providing the highest level of care. As a board-certified orthodontist, I continually strive for proficiency and innovation in my field.
To ensure I’m always offering my patients the best care, I actively participate in continuing education and stay up to date on the latest advancements in orthodontics. Memberships in professional associations provide valuable opportunities for growth, allowing me to offer cutting-edge treatments and exceptional results.
Commitment to Community
I feel incredibly fortunate to live and work in such a vibrant, supportive community. Getting to know my patients and their families is one of the most rewarding aspects of my job. It’s an honor to make a positive impact on their lives, and I’m deeply committed to giving back to the community that has given me so much.
My values are rooted in the close-knit environment of my large Italian family, where I learned the importance of support and connection. Today, I cherish spending time with my wife and college sweetheart, Shelby, and our three amazing daughters, Jordyn, Blake, and Ryan. Together since 2010, Shelby and I love exploring Chico, discovering new restaurants, and enjoying the sights.
Our family finds joy in strolling through downtown Chico, immersing ourselves in the local culture, and building connections with the wonderful people who call this area home. We also enjoy visiting nearby communities and deepening our ties to this region. When we travel, we often return to Gilroy to visit family or relax at our favorite beach getaway in Capitola, CA.
Orthodontics has given me a fulfilling career and the chance to create beautiful smiles, but it’s the relationships I’ve built along the way that make it truly special. I look forward to many more years of serving this incredible community.
