Meet Our Orthodontist

Dr. Gardner wanted to be an orthodontist in the 7th grade. He did his 8th grade Science Fair project on Orthodontics. Since then he has had a passion for helping people achieve beautiful smiles and he relishes in the changes it has on their appearance and self-image. He is known for having great relationships with his patients and their caregivers and creating a professional environment that is still fun and relaxing.

Born on an American Army base in West Berlin, West Germany and raised in Martinsville, VA, Dr. Gardner moved to Richmond after graduating from orthodontic school. He is married to a fabulous pastry chef and SEAL Team instructor. They love hanging out with their three children, Ava, Finn and Oliver and watching their smiles grow and develop.

Dr. Gardner likes white-water kayaking, rock climbing, kiteboarding, mountain biking, juggling and snow skiing. Dr. Gardner enjoys going to the Seal Team Physical Training program before work.

Get ready to be amazed when you meet Dr. Gardner by asking him to show you his juggling skills.
