DENTISTRY

Dentistry is the perfect mix of finding solutions, improving health, and helping people smile! My team and I strive to ensure that we deliver the best oral care possible. My approach is conservative, yet I treat each patient as if they were a part of my family.

Through continued education and years of experience, I see more clearly the value of good health and strive to help each of my patients achieve their optimum vitality. Through the many procedures and exams completed, the knowledge that oral health greatly affects overall health keeps me motivated.

For nearly 30 years, my amazing team and I have strived to provide dental care in a warm, welcoming environment, using innovative techniques and technologies. It has been rewarding to share in the lives of our patients. I consider these friendships some of the richest joys of my career! I am grateful for the trust my patients place in me and my team. If you haven’t been in to our office, I look forward to meeting you and helping you feel part of the Wanlass Dental family.

OUTSIDE THE OFFICE

Just recently I hit the halfway point…I’ve lived in Las Vegas for half of my life! Even though it’s very different from my native Michigan, I’m proud to call Las Vegas home. I love hiking through Red Rock, boating on Lake Mead, camping on Mount Charleston, or biking any trail I can find…all with my family! Five of my children are grown and live throughout the country, my youngest two children and wonderful wife keep me involved, active, and young! (Yes, I do love to watch almost any Michigan game!)

I have been so fortunate in my life and enjoy giving back to the community whenever I can. I’ve had the opportunity to do humanitarian work in other countries, as well as locally for various organizations. Our team and I have supported many causes close to our patients’ hearts, as well as supporting our troops through the Wounded Warrior Project. We’re grateful for opportunities to help bring smiles throughout the world!
