I became a dentist because my father was a dentist, and when I was 15, I actually would go and work with him in the office. And my father had a wonderful life. He was able to provide for his family, and I thought that would be a wonderful profession to get into.

After I turned 21, I decided that that was what I wanted to do, and I dove right into it, got the grades necessary to go ahead and pull it off, and I enjoy working with people as well. And the funnest part about dentistry is creating really beautiful smiles, where you have a case where someone comes in and their teeth are kind of crowded, or if they're dark, or something like that, and we can just make their teeth beautiful by either straightening them or doing crowns on the front or whatever it takes, just lighten them up and make them pretty in the front, and those are the most rewarding cases.

Dr. Chad Thompson grew up as the child of a dentist, and he loved it so much he wanted to do the same for his own five children! He earned his DDS and began practicing in 1996. In 2010, Dr. Thompson began serving the wonderful community of Airline.

Dr. Thompson loves helping each of his patients create the beautiful smiles theyve been dreaming of. And patients love seeing Dr. Thompson, too! He credits their appreciation to the kind and wonderful staff we have here at Sabal Dental in Airline.

Dr. Thompson believes that life is a grand adventure with a set amount of time, and he wants to use that time wisely.

I 've always been good at science and music, and I ended up not going into music, so science was that. And I 've always loved the dentist, loved going to them when I was a child. And so I was thinking, 'Where do I want to go with what I know?' And that was dentistry.

And so as soon as I decided that, that was a straight track. I like helping people. It feels good to do something I'm good at and make a difference, feel like I'm contributing. And so I think that's my favorite part.
