Dr. Denzler is a graduate of the UCLA, School of Dentistry, where he graduated with honors and was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon honor society. He earned numerous awards, ranging from student leadership to esthetic dentistry, and was listed in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities upon graduation. After completing his D.D.S. degree, Dr. Denzler completed a residency at the Department of Veterans' Affairs in Palo Alto, receiving extensive training in all aspects of dentistry. Dr. Denzler continues to take continuing education courses to further his training and stay current with new advances in the field, which he sees as a lifelong commitment.

Community Involvement
Dr. Denzler is member of two local service organizations where he enjoys involvement in various programs to benefit the community. He has donated his time to the Give Kids a Smile Program while down south and continues to volunteer with the Head Start and the Smiles for Kids Program in the Sacramento area. Upon moving to Lincoln, Dr. Denzler began the elementary school screening program at Western Placer Unified School District, which aims to identify children of families in need of acute dental care. Those families unable to afford treatment are matched with volunteer dentists who open their offices and treat these children at no charge. Currently Dr. Denzler is donating his time with the Flying Samaritans. Our local chapter has a clinic near San Quentin in Baja Mexico. At the dental clinic there we provide dental treatment to those in need, with a special emphasis on children.

Brooke Bews, DA

Brooke is a dental assistant with 15 years experience in the dental field. She has worked in many roles from chairside assisting to front office billing and scheduling. In a way, Brooke has been raised in the dental community, though, with a father who is a dentist and mother who is a hygienist! She excels at many of the skills that are invaluable to our office and is a friendly, hard-working team member.

Brooke was raised in the Sierra foothills and actually was high school classmates of both of our hygienists, Valerie and Lacee. Along the way she also became a hair stylist and still works part-time at a salon in Rocklin. Her most important role may just be as the proud mom of her little daughter, Bailey, and most of her free time is spent together with her. Her life is busy, but her positive attitude keeps her smiling!

Michelle has been in the dental field as a registered dental assistant for over 25 years and has a real passion for her work. She is always looking to learn and improve as a life-long commitment. Michelle is also an 'extended function' dental assistant.

Michelle is married and has three daughters that make for a busy family life. She enjoys reading, travel, and the occasional horror movie!
