Dr. Chad Carpenter and his wife, Allison, relocated to Rapid City in 2005, the same year Carpenter Dental was established. Community engagement has always been a fundamental aspect of Dr. Carpenter’s life. He dedicated ten years to the Cornerstone Rescue Mission Board, including three years as board president. He has also served as president of the Black Hills District Dental Society and was honored as South Dakota’s “Young Dentist of the Year” in 2014.

Committed to continuous learning, Dr. Carpenter invests at least 20 days each year gaining new knowledge of dentistry by continuing education courses nationwide. This ongoing education equips him and his exceptional team to manage complex cases and reconstructive dentistry effectively. When necessary, he collaborates with local dentists in Rapid City to ensure optimal outcomes for patients.

As a father of six, Dr. Carpenter has a special affinity for family dentistry and excels at making dental visits quick and efficient for children. At home, he and Allison share their lives with two dogs and enjoy camping, lake outings, hiking, cooking, reading, music, and volunteering together.

Dr. Carpenter is actively involved in charitable work, contributing his skills at the St. Francis Dental Mission and the Open Wide Foundation in Guatemala. He also supports various organizations, including Post 22, Post 320, WAVI, The Cornerstone Rescue Mission, United Way, Love INC, Club for Boys, Girls INC, and many other worthy causes.
