In 1999 he purchased the existing practice of a retiring dentist near his home in Vancouver. He recently received his FAGD (Fellowship in the academy of General Dentistry), which demonstrates his personal commitment to keeping up on the latest advancements in Dentistry and is a distinction only 2% of Dentists nationwide receive! Dr. Heppler spends over 100 hours a year in continuing education courses to keep up on the latest developments in dentistry.
Lance has been married to his wife, Brandee, a talented artist and illustrator, for fifteen years. They have three children; Lake, Kelty and Darby. He is a competitive triathlete, participating in many local races and has completed Ironman Florida twice and Ironman Canada once. He also recently completed his eleventh marathon, helps coach his sons and daughter’s sports teams, and plays in several indoor soccer leagues.

His approach to dental practice is to meet his patients personal concerns by blending art, science and intuition. This approach is based upon a personal commitment to the welfare of his patients.

Dr. Aaron Wikle, DMD
Dr. Aaron Wikle graduated from the University of Louisville School of
Dentistry in May 2011. He recieved a BS degree in 2001 from Brigham Young University and an AAS degree from Ricks College in 1998. He has been involved in dentistry working in various dental offices since high school.
He was a dental assistant for 6 years prior to dental school and has found that hands on education was very benificial. He saw how procedures are done throughout the country by assisting in Oregon, New Jersey, and Kentucky. Dr. Wikle has been able to draw from the best of what he has seen and apply it to his current approach to dentistry. He is gentle and caring and always does quality work for each patient.
Aaron has been married to his wife Brynn for 12 years and they enjoy spending as much time together as possible. They have adopted two
daughters: Samantha who is 3 years old and Miranda who is 10 months old.
The girls have a lot of personality and energy. They have their differences
but one thing they have in common is that they both started dancing as soon
as they learned to sit up. Aaron’s family is his number one joy in life.
Dr. Wikle enjoys being able to talk to many people throughout the day and to
provide them with services that help improve their health. Providing
excellent quility dentistry and treating patients with kindness are two of
the things that he always tries to include in his profession as a dentist.
