I and my office staff are committed to bringing you the finest and latest in dental care in a very modern setting. Four years ago we moved into our completely remodeled dental office. We now occupy the entire second floor of our building; it has elevator and handicap access. The office has a light and cheerful look. Several people have commented that it is the nicest dental office in Lake Tahoe. I have furnished my office with artwork, most of it from Lake Tahoe artists.
Our office is the only dental office in Lake Tahoe offering two new dental developments: Perio Protect and Hemeoblock.

Cheri Da Re
Dental Hygienist
I have been a dental hygientist for over 30 years. I have worked on the East Coast, Midwest, and Southern California, but I love it her in Lake Tahoe the best. My husband and I have two homes, one in Lake Tahoe and one Placerville. He currently works for UPS in Sacramento. We really enjoy our two dogs, Lucy and Roxy, specially taking them out in the great outdoors of Lake Tahoe. We also have 4 grandchildren, 2 girls ages 7 and 2, 2 boys ages 5 and 9 months.
Lori King
Office Manager
I have been a dental office manager for twenty years, and have worked for Dr. Wenck since 1994. I try to get as much money from your insurance company as possible. I will go to bat for your insurance rights. I enjoy movies, off road recreation, and road trips with my teenage son and my dog.
