Welcome to Winterholler Dentistry & Implant Surgery
Dr. William Winterholler, known fondly by his patients as Dr. Will, has been practicing dentistry for over 18 years.

With a strong family history in dentistry—his father and uncles are oral surgeons—Dr. Will’s path to dentistry was a natural one. He completed his undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University and went on to earn his DDS from Creighton University.
