Our History
In 1980, we pioneered the first wave of dental advertising & our earliest practices, some of whom are still with us today, saw incredible success. In the 1990’s, we turned our attention in-office & began developing growth management tools that continue to lead the industry.
Today, chrisad is the oldest & largest all dental marketing & growth management agency in the world with clients in 15 nations & all 50 states. We are tireless advocates of the dental industry, passionately dedicated to growing the wealth of our clients & the health of their communities!
