His story

Built to last. Trained to lead.

Chris Winterholler grew up in Lovell, Wyoming, mastering the art of working with his hands during long winters building intricate model trains. With a family of healthcare professionals and a dentist uncle to look up to, by the age of 8 he was certain he would enter the dental profession.

Today, Dr. Chris is proud to be a leading provider of dental implants in Central Arizona — with the only office in the area that offers on-site CT implant design and milling in a fully digital state-of-the-art laboratory. Unlike corporate dental implant centers, Dr. Winterholler follows up on his patients’ dental care for years to come, ensuring that their smiles last a lifetime.

He travels all over the world to seek out the newest dental technology and training, and is internationally recognized as an expert in the latest dental technology for precision-placed dental implants.

"He is inspired by a calling to offer his talents and skills to patients to improve their lives with healthy, beautiful smiles."
