Dr. Chad Leighty

General Dentist

Dr. Leighty strives to provide exceptional dental care and create beautiful smiles for our community of patients. He also wishes to make a positive impact on our Grant County community and leave a legacy that his children are proud of.

Dr. Leighty grew up in Grant County before attending Indiana University. He and his Wife, Sandy, have been married for over 25 years and raised three beautiful daughters, Lauren, Krista, and Emily. His family also includes Julian, a son-in-law, and he is especially blessed to have three granddaughters, Leighton, Olivia, and Elliana.

When Dr. Leighty isn’t making beautiful smiles, you can find him out in the woods at a family farm or spending time with his family at their lake cottage on Syracuse Lake.
