About

Chris Peterson, DDS

Welcome to the Lander Dental Group of Wyoming, the practice of Drs. Chris Peterson and Eric Sheridan. Your decision to join our professional dental team is a wise one. Our dentists look forward to getting to know you and to working with you. All of us are committed to serving the patients of our practice by providing the highest quality dental care possible. We offer a wide range of services, including preventive, cosmetic, restorative and reconstructive dentistry. We do everything possible to make dental visits pleasant for our patients.

In 2007 we remodeled our Lander practice for our growing patient base. Since then we have made a commitment to stay abreast and embrace the latest of what dental technology has to offer. Our treatment rooms are equipped with computer monitors, intraoral cameras and digital radiography. Even though our dental practice is a forward thinking, state-of-the-art facility, we still adhere to the simple, important values that make the scenic Lander community so wonderful. Our practice philosophy has always been to make a difference in our community by educating about the benefits of good oral health, and by using our practice as a satellite office for dental specialists to provide extensive care for our patients and all of Wyoming.
