Dr Mueller and his wife, Lindsey, moved to Buena Vista in 2006. Originally from St. Louis, Dr. Mueller attended dental school at Southern Illinois University. He graduated with honors and practiced for two years in St. Louis before realizing the dream of moving to a mountain town.
After graduation, he pursued extensive hands on training in implant surgical placement and restorations. Additionally, he attended many hours of training learning esthetic techniques through the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.He has dedicated himself to ongoing continuing education to stay up to date with the latest treatments and materials. Annually he greatly exceeds the mandated continuing education requirement for the state and the CDA.
On a personal level, Dr Mueller is an avid rock climber and lover of camping. He and Lindsey are proud of their two daughters, Ava and Greta, and have been grateful to have been able to raise their daughters in this incredible community.

I called to get in for a broken tooth, a front smaller tooth. I got in 3 weeks later as a new patient. He addressed the broken tooth, and also took full xrays. He advised that I had 2 teeth that needed attention. The broken one and an older root canal that needed to be redone. Both he said would need root canals and crowns in the end, he told me he was referring me to an oral surgeon in Colorado springs. I spoke up quickly about going to the springs was not an option for me, as I am a caregiver for my husband. I asked him directly "Isn't there any other surgeon closer than the springs?" He said "no." The bill alone was nearly $3000.00 without the costs to the surgeon in the springs. I did not follow through with the referral, but decided to go for a second opinion, online I found a dentist that performs oral surgery in Salida just 30 minutes away instead of 3.5 hours to the springs. I went to the new dentist this morning, 11/11/19 and the second opinion was my broken tooth was vibrant, living, salvageable he filled it and I was done in an hour. No root canal or crown needed. The bv dentist either did not know about the dentist in Salida or I was intentionally misled. I believe a dentist following best practices would know and should know of practicing professionals near their location of service. This bv dentist should refer patients to the dentists that practice oral surgery in this area rather than sending patients 3.5 hours away. I saved myself from an unneeded root canal and crown; at least $1800. Not to mention travel, possible hotel costs, and pain. This practice is not in the patients best interest. I hope this review encourages this dentist and office staff to review and address how they could better serve their clients.

5+ years ago I had an extensive full mouth reconstuction including several implants. I couldn't be happier with Dr. Mueller and his entire office.

Buena Vista Dental Care has been my dentist since transferring here for work over 10 years ago. I was relieved to find a Dentist and Staff of such high caliber after coming from the front range. Dr. Mueller and his staff's professionalism, strong character and compassion has done wonders to improve my dental health. Over past 10 years I have had several procedures and felt fortunate that I had a dentist of Dr Mueller's experience. And this from a big tough guy who really doesn't like going to the dentist.
