THE MAN BEHIND THE MASK              

     The man behind the mask is Dr. Richard W. Wheeler, a dentist who has provided quality care for mountain area families for over twenty-five years.  When asked what has kept his interest in dentistry for over a quarter of a century his response is, "My professional staff, great patients and exciting advances in cosmetic and implant dentistry."

     Dr. Wheeler has been a clinical instructor at the University of Colorado School of Dentistry.  He and his staff continually update their technical and OSHA required education.  He also donates his professional skills with "Kids in Need of Dentistry", the Foundation of Dentistry for the Handicapped and many other local organizations.

     Dr. Wheeler says the key to his success is the caring and professional manner in which his team works together to meet their patients' needs.
