Dr. Chad Eardley grew up in Southern Utah and earned his degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Southern Utah University, along with a Bachelor of Arts. He earned his Specialty degree in Pediatric Dentistry at Texas A&M. In 2003, while attending the Arizona School of Dentistry, he joined the Army Reserves. Dr. Eardley did get deployed to Germany, where he practiced General Dentistry. He later deployed to Italy, where he was Chief of Pediatric Dentistry.
In 2017, Dr. Eardley and his wife, Brooke, moved with their five children to Pleasant View and opened Park Pediatric Dentistry, a practice designed to feel more like home than a clinic. The office features a national park theme, creating a warm and welcoming space where kids feel safe and relaxed.
When asked why he chose pediatric dentistry, Dr. Eardley states, "I want kids to know they can do scary things. If they can go to the dentist, they can do difficult things." He states that he enjoys seeing kids grow up and what they go on to be as adults.
He's known for using playful language to put kids at ease, saying things like, "The vacuum is going to give you a kiss," or asking what the Tooth Fairy might look like when he's pulling a tooth. His goal is to distract, comfort, and create positive experiences.
Dr. Eardley especially enjoys full-mouth rehabilitation cases. "When a child comes in with pain, and leaves feeling better- it's the most rewarding part of my job," he shares.
He brings patience, humor, and a calming presence to every visit, helping children build trust and confidence.
Dr. Eardley and Brooke are also committed to giving back. A portion of new patient revenue is donated to the Brent Taylor Foundation to support Gold Star Families.
At Park Pediatric, Dr. Eardley helps kids accomplish challenging tasks and leaves them with a smile.
"I want Park Pediatric Dentistry to be their dental home."
