Thank you for taking the time to be part of this new podcast series specifically designed for young dentists. This podcast is being created for those looking for mentorship about the options available to them after dental school. We would like to focus on the type of relationship you have created together and how other young dentists could copy your genius.   

A practicing dentist in Provo, Utah, since 1996, cosmetic dentist Dr. Chris Hammond is well known for his talents in both general and cosmetic dentistry. In 1998 the Crown Council (a national group of leading-edge dentists) awarded him America’s “Young Dentist of the Year.” His practice has been named Utah County’s “Best of the Best” dental practice by the Daily Herald for providing quality dental care in a unique, people-oriented environment. He has recently been nominated by his peers and Woodward/White (an independent research firm) as one of “The Best Dentists in America.”

Dr. Harris received his undergraduate degree at Brigham Young University before attending the University of Texas Health at San Antonio School of Dentistry where he graduated with honors in his Doctorate in Dental Surgery program. “As a third-generation dentist, dentistry has always been a major part of my life. My grandfather (general dentist) and my father (oral surgeon) showed me what it meant to serve others and sacrifice for those in our community. Through their examples and with my experience as a patient of Dr. Hammond’s I knew I wanted to make dentistry my profession. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to follow in their footsteps and serve those in this community that I love.”
