Monte Eppich moved to Council and founded Mountains West Dental Clinic in 2002. Being a dentist in a rural community had been his intention for some time and after completing his Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree at Creighton University in 2001, Dr. Eppich chose to pursue a post-doctoral residency at Idaho State University in Advanced Education in General Dentistry. This additional training prepared him for practicing dentistry in an area where healthcare options including dentistry were limited. Dr. Eppich enjoys the variety allowed by this choice in dentistry and besides offering standard general dentistry procedures such as crowns, tooth colored fillings, cleanings, dentures and root canals, he also places and restores several different types of dental implants and is certified in IV and oral conscious sedation. Dr. Eppich is also well versed in oral surgery such as removal of wisdom teeth and recontouring of bone for dentures, and routinely treats children.
