Dr. Wahl graduated from Tonasket High School in 2004. From there she continued her studies towards her childhood dream of becoming a dentist. She graduated from the University of Washington School of Dentistry in Seattle. While attending, she was the recipient of multiple awards and scholarships that recognized her excellence in restorative dentistry, pediatric dentistry, and fixed and removable prosthodontics. She was also selectively chosen for a position in the Regional Initiatives in Dental Education (RIDE) program. This is a specialized program that trained and prepared her to practice in rural locations, such as Tonasket!
Upon graduation, Dr. Wahl first practiced in Coeur d Alene, Idaho in a private dental office. In 2015, she and her family moved to Colville, WA where she worked at NEWHP Community Dental Clinic for the past five years. While practicing dentistry in Colville, she became an affiliate faculty of University of Washington School of Dentistry and was given the opportunity to train current RIDE students to prepare them for practice in rural areas.
Dr. Wahl loves dentistry. She believes in providing thoughtful and artistic dentistry to help her patients gain and preserve optimal oral health. Dental health education is an important part of her standard of care. She believes all patients deserve honest relationships and exceptional clinical care. Her calming demeanor and open communication helps her patients feel connected.
Dr. Wahl is married to Brian Wahl, who is also a graduate of Tonasket High School. They have two wonderfully fun and adventurous boys, Wyatt and Gus. Together they enjoy exploring and foraging the outdoors, traveling, and boating. Her personal treasured pastime is being creative in the garden and watching the growth and change throughout the seasons. They love living in the great PNW and have always called it their home.
