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.
