History
Established in 1992.
Dr. Sommer's work background in engineering and chemistry allows him to approach dentistry with a unique perspective. You could call Dr. Sommer a "green" dentist because early in his career he became aware of the environmental impact of industrial processes and contaminants. As a result, his thinking is holistic, or whole-body in nature, acutely aware of your dental health and your whole body health connection. Fortunately, this thinking influences every aspect of his practice. Dr. Sommer successfully operated two thriving practices in Northern California before returning to his Colorado home where he has been caring for the downtown Colorado Springs business and professional community from this location since 1992.
