Dr. Chris Graff has been practicing dentistry in Montrose since 1998. He received a B.A. in biology from Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio in 1993. He then attended the University of Minnesota to earn his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree, graduating with high distinction in 1997. Dr. Graff has committed himself to continuing his education. Currently, he is involved in taking courses regularly at the Pankey Institute for post-graduate dental education in Miami, Florida. He is meeting twice annually with a small group personal and professional growth study club which includes dentists from across the United States. He also regularly attends our local Western Colorado Dental Society meetings in Grand Junction.

Dr. Graff, his wife, Kathy and their three boys live right here in Montrose. They were attracted to this area for the many opportunities for outdoor activities and to become an integral part of the community. They enjoy hiking, camping, fishing and snow shoeing together. They also are grateful to have been enfolded as a part of the family at First Presbyterian Church in Montrose.

In 1999 Dr. Graff was one of a group of medical professionals from Montrose to come together to help form the Community Dental Clinic. This clinic is a non-profit organization dedicated to meeting the dental health needs of underserved and low income members of our community. Dr. Graff continued to serve the clinic as a board member for five years after its start up.

Dr. Graff is a member of OKU, a dental honor society, the American Dental Association, the Colorado Dental Association, the Western Colorado Dental Society and the Pankey Institute Alumni Association.
