Dr. Gary Cheloha (think aloha, with a ch in front) grew up in a family where health care was the predominant career field. Having a family who guided him toward health as a profession, combined with the fact that he always liked fixing and tinkering with things, prompted him to pursue dentistry.
I like to help people, get them out of pain and make them feel better, says Dr. Cheloha, a dentist in Scottsbluff. Its very rewarding when I see the positive impact on a persons self esteem because of our cosmetic treatments.
As a dentist, he gets to do that every day. Dr. Cheloha also is a huge proponent of educating his patients and ensuring that they are well-informed about the best ways to care for their teeth, their treatment options and how to maintain the lifelong health of their teeth and smiles.
Jenna started working in the dental field in 2004 in Laramie, WY where she was attending college at the time. She then relocated to the Scottsbluff area and started working at Monument Smiles in 2007. She has enjoyed working for Dr. Cheloha ever since.
Jenna really enjoys working in the dental field and helping people with the health of their teeth and gums. It is rewarding to her to work with patients and help them build confidence in their smiles. She also enjoys working with the public and building relationships with each patient.
Jenna and her husband have been married since July 2009. They have two sons and live near Torrington, WY where her husband is busy farming during the summer months. In their spare time they enjoy traveling and getting together with their families and friends. Jenna has family that is spread out so they enjoy traveling to visit them when they can.
Casie started working in the dental field in 2003 and started working at Monument Smiles in 2008. She received her dental education from Central Community College in Hastings, NE. She loves working in the dental field and seeing the confidence that our patients gain from improving their oral health. Casie also enjoys building friendships with each of our patients and their families.
Val has worked in the dental field since 1998, and she joined our team in October 2013. She was born and raised in Scottsbluff and has lived here her entire life with the exception of two years spend in Kansas.
Veronica was born and raised in the Panhandle of Nebraska and graduated from Gering High School in 2005. She received her Associates of Science degree from Western Nebraska Community College in 2008 her Associates of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene from Central Community College in Hastings Nebraska in 2011.
Upon graduating, Veronica returned to the Panhandle where she has been serving out community as a dental hygienist since 2011. In November 2014 she became part of the team at Monument Smiles. Veronica is very dedicated in giving our patients the best oral hygiene care possible and loves helping people of all ages.

I don't know what we would of done if it hadn't been for Val and the nurse. After my husband's appointment he couldn't walk so Val got an office chair and wheeled him to the car. Everyone at Monument Smiles is so nice. They treat him with so much respect even though he gets a little grumpy at times so thanks to You Val.

My family and I have been patients here for many years. We have always received great care. Dr. Gary is very gentle, personable, and friendly. All his staff are the same way. Going to the dentist is no longer a terrifying experience. It's much more pleasant, even though getting teeth repaired isn't the most enjoyable experience. I very strongly recommend Monument Smiles!

Excellent Doc and staff! They were very accommodating and tried to get me in as soon as possible. Gave me the break down on costs and time frames of importance, but let me think it over, no pressures... that was super helpful and respectful. I really appreciate them, would recommend to everyone!
