Dr. G. Beau Hunter was born and raised in Gridley, CA. He grew up the oldest of five children, helping his father with farming rice and carpentry, while also painting and drawing with his mom. After graduating from Gridley High School, he traveled to seven countries in Europe to study abroad, followed by a two-year church mission to Brazil where he learned to speak Portuguese. Beau then studied at BYU Idaho and obtained his Bachelor’s in Biology with a minor in Chemistry.

In 2007, Beau married Shannon and moved to Columbus, Ohio, to attend dental school at The Ohio State University College of Dentistry. Go Buckeyes! He won his dental school singing competition “DDS Idol” four years in a row. Following graduation, Dr. Hunter studied Sedation Dentistry and attained his I.V. Conscious Sedation License from USC.

Dr. Hunter is skilled at providing dental care for anxious patients, those who find it hard to “get numb”, and those with a severe gag reflex. With this experience, he is able to offer compassionate care to a wide range of patients. Additionally, his artistic ability offers pleasing results to his patients when making their smiles natural-looking.

Beau and Shannon have three beautiful daughters, Tatum, Remi, and Primrose. Beau enjoys many forms of art, woodworking, and music. He plays guitar and the trumpet, and also builds his own guitars – and is currently taking piano lessons! He also built his desk from raw pieces of walnut from an orchard in Chico that he milled himself.
