Daniel J Wherley, DDS

Dr. Wherley and his staff are great! I was recently visiting the Denver area and needed to get in for an emergency visit and they worked me into the schedule the same day. The staff was friendly and courteous when greeting me. They gave me a realistic wait time to be expected (I didn’t mind waiting 15 minutes as I knew they already had to for me in). Once I got in, Dr. W did just enough so that I was out of pain and to get me through the rest of my trip. He did not try to overcharge me or provide services that were not needed. He was very clear on what procedures were completed and let me know what he thought the next steps would be when I saw my primary dentist. It was a very quick procedure and I was in and out in under and hour which included the short wait time. Couldn’t have asked for a better outcome for the scenario. Thanks, Dr. Wherley!

Dr. Daniel Wherley is without question the best dentist I have known. I’ve been going to him for over ten years and am most impressed by his calm, easy-​going ability to put you at ease, and his proactive thought: he anticipates your questions and answers them thoroughly. He does excellent work. His wife Sandy runs the office and is equally pleasant. Gloria, his assistant, is likewise terrific.

My husband and I travel, so our dental care since 2004 has been cobbled-​together with random dental professionals in Houston, Denver and the country of Panama. Unlike most dentists, Dr. Wherley approaches our dental care with short-​term and long-​term options, and he is as conscientious with us, knowing we might never be «regular,» dependable patient-​income as he is with his long-​term clients. He’s not simply another good dentist. He’s really a master of quality, affordable dentistry in Denver.

Since my first appointment, I have been back several times along with my adult son and wife. The doctor is extremely caring and gentle, 5 Star Service, very reasonable, and exceptional staff. We are living temporarily in Kansas for a year, but continue to go to this dentist because he is so outstanding. My wife called him this morning due to an emergency, and he was able to see her this afternoon. We are so blessed that we found Dr. Wherley!

He has been my dentist since the 90’s. He is very hands on. I once came in early, and he was vacuuming the carpets. I never have to wait long. His staff is helpful and friendly.
He always is happy, and shakes my hand. He explains things and is gentle.

You hate going to the dentist? My friend I REALLY HATE going to the dentist.
But Dr. Wherley is not so bad. In fact, he’s terrific!
Orderly, methodical, experienced, fairly priced, practical, and amazingly delicate. Excellent!

Dr. Wherley is the best dentist I have ever encountered, worldwide. I have ‘problem’ teeth and have had many, many dentist visits and work done over the years. Dr. Wherley has literally changed my compete look (and life!) by suggesting a simple procedure on my front teeth that no other dentist cared to do suggest before. Though the procedure made a huge difference in my appearance, the doctor made sure first that it will be covered by my insurance. The quality of care is amazing, everyone is super-​nice (Gloria, Sandy, Kate, Darla — they have all been with Dr. Dan for years and cannot be called ‘staff’, they are more like family). I take my whole family there and cannot imagine going anywhere else. If something happens (chipped tooth) or someone has a toothache, the same day appointment is very likely. Where can you find that these days?! This practice is in a category of their own, setting standards of care and customer service. There is never more than a 5 minute wait and they are always more than happy to work with you on unexpected scheduling conflicts. They will take care of all your insurance coordination of benefits issues and keep you in the loop. It is obvious that his practice is much more to Dr. Dan than a business — it is his vocation and his passion. Speaking of which, in his spare time he does free dental work for mentally and physically handicapped people. Dr. Dan is the man!!! :)

This man and his staff are amazing! I went to Dr. Wherely as a new Texas to Denver transplant and I was amazed at how friendly EVERY single one of them were. It’s an old-​school office with definite old-​school hospitality. There’s no flash to the office just professional/​quality dentistry. By far the best dentist I’ve ever been to!

Came to CO, had a tooth issue, and was able to be seen and fixed ASAP. I have a fear of dentists, but not this guy. He is great. He was kind, and made sure to followup. Very accommodating. Also, nicest receptionists ever.
Old school office, old school dentist, but great at what he does.
He is very nice, very gentle, and reasonably priced.
If you need a dentist, give Dr Wherley a whirl.

I’m 23 years old and have only had one dentist my entire life. You guessed it, Dr. Wherley. He’s gotten me through baby teeth, crooked adult teeth, braces, countless retainers, and finally to my adult-​like smile.
My entire family refuses to switch; my mother even lives in Cheyenne, Wyoming now, and brings my stepdad along with her. It’s true, he’s worth the 100 mile journey.
Frankly, we all worry about what we’re going to do when the man retires. Knock on wood that it’s not anytime soon.
In the mean time, he’s definitely an excellent choice.

Perhaps the best dentist I’ve had, I’ve been going to Dr. Wherley for the last two years. He runs a small practice, and it feels more homey than most dental practices I’ve been to, and yet he has digital X-​rays and all the modern machinery you’d expect. The office staff is first rate, and his hygienist is nice but thorough. Their work has been good and there’s no sale pitches for cosmetic work. It’s easy to get in to see him, and billing is well done and reasonable. The location is convenient for me, at Colorado and Cherry Creek Drive. In short, I don’t much like going to the dentist, but Dr. Wherley is about as painless as it gets.

I read through Unilocal reviews for a dentist, because I needed to call one at 7am, and be seen immediately. Any damage and the crown would have to be remade, plus I had no front right tooth. (Ah, yuck?) so I could easily fall prey to an evil dentist and be ripped off. This faux tooth was an investment. A woman missing a front tooth is also a woman in distress, not making decisions from her Most Reasonable Self. She will pay most anything to be retoothed, especially in the light of day, believe.
Dr. Wherley’s Administrator is friendly, and gives good directions. She also gave me a follow up call with the name of a periodontist– three weeks after I had had the crown reattached. She remembered a conversation had in passing and actually called me. Rare, indeed!
Dr. Wherley himself… efficient, polite, and proud of his work… he eliminated some discoloration when he remounted my crown, and it looked much better. He didn’t try to sell me on future appointments. He said «You have a lot of work done. I assume you are taking care of it?» I said yes, he said good, mentioned the next weakest crown so I would be aware of it and got the job done.
Nice dentist, friendly staff, AND inexpensive. It cost me $ 145 less than it would have in California (where I just moved from). Maybe $ 105 was reasonable for Denver, but it is unheard of in San Francisco.
Am happy I checked Unilocal on this one. He’s old school… I didn’t see any cosmetic advances being pitched in the waiting room. Thankfully. Those are so obnoxious.

I went here about two weeks ago for a regular cleaning. I picked Dr. Wherley after peeping through the Unilocal reviews, as I needed a new dentist (see my other reviews for my last Dentists’ office… which I do not recommend…). It was a great experience! First of all, I called one other place first, and they could not get me in for about a month. I didn’t want to wait a month, and decided to try Dr. Wherley. Surprisingly, when I called he actually answered (Wow, a Dr. that’s not too cool to answer his office’s phone when the front is busy? I like it.), and got me in the very next morning! So, I headed over there, and when I walked in, the receptionist already knew my name (from the appt. time probably), and very politely introduced herself to me & shook my hand. Nice and personal! After I filled out standard new patient stuff, Dr. Wherley came out and also introduced himself to me and shook my hand. I was next impressed because the doctor did my cleaning– I’ve been to several offices where I only ever see the actual dentist for about 3 minutes after the hygienist does all the work. I appreciate that he did all the work– from X-​Rays to cleaning ect. Also, the guy is just enjoyable. He talks a little when you’re able to speak, (doesn’t try to make conversation during the cleaning, that drives me nuts since you can’t exactly talk back) and tells you all about whatever is going on with your teeth. Also, I am paranoid about X-​Rays, and his jacket already had the thyroid cover built in. Other dentists I’ve been to acted like I was a pain in the ass when I asked them to give me a thyroid cover during the X-​Rays. I don’t know what the big deal is to go grab the cover. Anyway, everything went very smoothly, and I am very pleased that I have a great new dentist now.

Dr. Wherley is the best! Unfortunately he’s now out of plan for me as well and I can’t afford to pay out of pocket. I highly recommend him. Switching dentists has really made me value the quality work and good treatment that you receive from him and his staff. He’s also the official dentist of the Denver Roller Dolls… we all go to him to get our custom made mouth guards for only $ 25 total. The receptionist Kate is a sweetheart!
