Dr. Mark Wheeler

Specialized gum care often gets overshadowed by general dentistry, but Dr. Mark Wheeler fills that niche in Northglenn. Periodontists handle what most dentists don’t—advanced gum disease, dental implants, and the kind of deep cleanings that go beyond routine scaling. Their suite on Huron Street sits among a stretch of professional offices, just north of 112th Avenue in a part of town where medical practices cluster around residential pockets.

The focus here is on treatments that address the foundation of oral health: gum recession, bone grafting, and periodontal maintenance. While general dentists might refer patients for extractions or implant placements, a periodontist’s work often begins where standard care leaves off. Procedures like crown lengthening or sinus lifts aren’t part of the average dental visit, but they’re routine in this specialty. Northglenn’s mix of longtime residents and newer arrivals means demand spans from preventive care to corrective surgeries.

Directions are straightforward—11178 Huron St suite 100 puts the office in a low-key commercial block, not far from the intersection with Washington Street. Parking follows the area’s usual layout, and the building’s signage keeps things unassuming. For those mapping the route, the directions confirm what locals already know: it’s a quick turn off Huron, just past the strip of chain restaurants.

Questions about gum health or implant options usually start with a consultation. (303) 457-9617 connects directly to the office, where the details—insurance, procedures, or even just basic eligibility—get handled without the layers of a larger clinic. No frills, just the specialty care that general dentistry doesn’t cover.
