Dr. Chad is a fun-loving guy who grew up in Kalispell, where he wrestled and graduated from Flathead High School. He did his undergrad at FVCC and the University of Montana, later attending dental school at the University of Minnesota. He completed his pediatric dental residency among the Ozarks in Springfield, Missouri. When Dr. Chad is away from the office, he loves playing in the mountains of his hometown in Montana. His favorite things to do are wake/snowboard, spending time with his wife and three kids, playing catch with their two dogs(sometimes cats,too) and quoting movies!
Dr. Chad enjoys all kids-including fur kids! We know the dentist can be a scary place, but thats why Dr. Chad and his buddy, Burr, are opening up a dental clinic where kids can always be smiling. Everything is so much more fun when we show off our grin!
After being away from the valley for school, Dr. Chad is thrilled to be back and hopes to not just see you in the office, but in the lakes, rivers and trails around! If you spot him, be sure to say hi!
Glacier Grins is a pediatric dental office that is specially geared toward serving children. From a kind and kid-centered staff, to an office specially built for a positive sensory experience, Dr. Chad has made every effort to create an atmosphere conducive to a childs overall health. We, at Glacier Grins, know that building a dental home where a kids smile grows big reaps benefits in their life far beyond a few teeth. It brings confidence, trust, and an integrated approach to dental health.

First time bringing my kiddo here. Usually a mom thing. All I can say is that he was excited to go- honestly I didn't understand that. Now that I've experienced the splendor- I'm even more pleased with mom's decision to take him there. Wonderfully patient and nurturing environment! They are setting the stage for a lifetime of dental hygiene and wellness! Thank you.

We had previously been to another dentist in Kalispell for the past 4 years. Everything was fine with that dentist office until a new provider was brought in. She recommended very aggressive treatment for both kids. I sought a second opinion and I'm so glad I did. Dr. Chad is so understanding with the kids. The staff went out of their way to help get us in for a second opinion in a time that fit with my son's schedule. Dr. Chad recommended a course of treatment that was more conservative while still taking care of their dental needs. He made sure that my children understand that they must floss their teeth because that is where their cavities are. I would recommend this office to everyone!

We love Dr. Chad and all the amazing staff at Glacier Grins! They go above and beyond to make sure my kiddos have a positive experience, even when getting "not-so-fun" work done. Dr. Chad has personally called or texted to check-in after more complicated procedures. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a pediatric dentist in the valley or looking to switch.

Highly Recommend! We were very happy with our other dentist but the office was booking out 8-9 months for cleanings which was very difficult for our busy schedules. Dr. Cattron came to the rescue! We only had to wait a few days for an appointment and they were able to see my kids at the same time in a special exam area where I could be with both of them at the same time! The office is FABULOUSLY decorated with everything kids and families could want to feel comfortable, including the very best bathroom in NW Montana. (Wait until you see the faucet!!! :)) As a new patient with 2 young children we were in and out in less than 1 hour. I can't say enough about all the friendliess and professionalism of every staff member we encountered and are so glad to be patients with Glacier Grins!

Dr. Cattron couldn't be a more welcoming and fun guy who also happens to be our dentist. My kids all love him and as they get older I hate the thought of taking them anywhere else, we're hanging on as long as we can! The staff are top-rate and very accommodating all the way from the front desk to hygienists and assistants. Their care for little patients and the big ones is very touching and comforting. Your kids will love to go.

Dr. Chad and his dental team worked diligently on my son to repair/replace some worn caps that had become bothersome for him. Not only did they do the work they had planned, they did additional X-rays, worked on the alignment of his smile, and found hidden cavities we did not know about and repaired them. The team at Glacier Grins cares about making your child's smile and health outstanding, I could never go back to another pediatric dentist because these guys are the BEST!

The staff at Glacier Grins left me speechless with the level of care and assistance they provided our family during an emergency, and we are not patients. While ultimately they were unable to assist us long-term, they provided an initial exam and set us up with oral surgery and a dentist that would be able to help and that accepted our insurance. We had to do nothing! Thank you so much for the extra level of care; my family and I greatly appreciate it!
