Dr. William Winterholler, known fondly by his patients as Dr. Will, has been practicing dentistry for over 18 years. Having grown up as a military kid moving from Virginia to Puerto Rico to the Mountain West, he eventually settled in Montana after completing his education.

He completed his undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University and went on to earn his DDS from Creighton University.
