From a young age, Dr. Eric Wendelschafer learned the value and pleasure of hard work and a job well done. He comes from a family deeply rooted in the commercial construction business and spent much of his life working alongside them, experiencing firsthand the satisfaction that comes from rolling up your sleeves and building something special.

Dr. Wendelschafer brings that same work ethic to our dental practice in Surprise. As the owner and sole dentist at Great Smiles Dental Care since 2013, hes honored to serve the oral health needs of our amazing patients. Motivated by his passion for bringing people to a better state of health and improving their quality of life through exceptional dentistry, he prides himself on providing high-quality care at a fair price.

Dr. Wendelschafers interest in dentistry was sparked by oral surgeons his mother worked for when he was in high school. Hed spend as much time as he could shadowing them and felt called to follow a similar path.

Dr. Wendelschafer has never been one to shy away from a challenge. Earning a track scholarship and installing metal roof panels in the hot Arizona sun inspired him even more to set his sights higher toward college and dental school. As a hardworking student athlete in college, he juggled studying, running, and building apartments in the evenings and on weekends. He graduated from the Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health and joined a Mesa corporate office to gain practical experience as a dentist.

Eventually, Dr. Wendelschafer found his way across town, where he took over at Great Smiles Dental Care when the previous doctor retired. Hes been building healthy, beautiful smiles for the good people of Surprise, Sun City, and the surrounding communities ever since. Hes excited to welcome you to our practice and to work with you to achieve your goals for a happy, healthy, more fulfilling life through excellent dental care.

Doctor Wendelschafer on Why Choose UsI think the biggest thing that sets Great Smiles apart or the way I do things apart is that I 'm so small as far as the business goes. I 've got five people on staff, and I own the company. I 'm not owned by a corporation or a group or anything like that that answers to insurance demands. It 's me, the patient, and the small group to deliver the care that people need and manage the rest. And when I wake up, the job is difficult and running the business is difficult, but with the team that I have and I come in, everybody 's smiling, everybody 's ready to rock, they 're all ready to do what needs to be done to deliver the care that 's expected at Great Smiles.From the time you walk in the door, the first face that you see is going to set the tone, and that 's Maria, and she does it. She 's always smiling and peppy and optimistic, and I love it. Nobody loves coming to the dentist, nobody. I don 't like going to the dentist. I love a good cleaning and I love to get things problem-solved if I have any in my mouth, but nobody likes going to the dentist. And so everything that can be done to mitigate that initial discomfort or fear, it ought to be done. And when people leave, it 's extremely important for them to feel a certain way. Did they like it? Are they happy? Did they feel comfort? And would they be willing to tell somebody about it? Because I want people to want to run out of here yelling, 'Hey, this guy, hey, I love this guy.' And sometimes it happens. Creating the team is where you get those emotions instilled, where it 's more of an experience rather than the laying back in the chair part.
