About Dr. Michael E. Wahl, DDS
Dr. Michael E. Wahl, DDS operates on West Colorado Avenue in Colorado Springs, Colorado. At the core of a general dental practice is preventive and restorative care: checkups, professional cleanings, fillings, and screening for decay and gum disease before either becomes a bigger problem. It is the kind of appointment most people need on a routine schedule rather than only when something hurts.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.
Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.
Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.
A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.
Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not. Contact details for Dr. Michael E.

He has been my dentist for 34 years!
I ve been a patient of dr wahl for years..he is a great dentist. I will not open my mouth for anybody else in this town 😤
I really like Dr. Wahl. I have been to other dentists closer to me in Woodland Park but I have found myself going back to Dr. Wahl. He is very GOOD dentist. He is honest, straight forward, and has gentle hands. I went to a different dentist in Woodland Park who told me I needed a tooth removed. I went to Dr. Wahl to get a second opinion and it didn't need to be removed. I did get a crown and now life is good again. 5 STARS FOR DR. WAHL.
Dr. Wahl and his staff are great! They worked me in this morning even though they were short staffed and it was a short day for them. I really appreciate it. I highly recommend this group!
I cracked a tooth under a crown 2 years ago and the dentist I chose said it would be best to pull the tooth. Admittedly I did not do my due diligence as to what that would all entail and what a hassle a bridge would be, so I agreed. The first 2 bridges they gave me cracked and the third would not fit properly no matter how much they adjusted it. Finally, after one year of pain and not eating on that side which also included 6 months of requesting my money back so I could go elsewhere, they agreed and refunded my money. I then found Dr. Wahl through a co-worker whose family has been using him for years and raved about him. He immediately stated the bridge was a bad fit, but he could take care of it correctly. My teeth had moved quite a bit in that year, so I opted to do Invisalign prior to the permanent bridge going in to ensure a good final fit. I truly did not expect the results I have now based on what I went through that first year. It has been literally 2 years since I cracked an almond or ate bacon or anything other than mashed potatoes on that side. The bridge fit is perfect, and I have zero pain or discomfort whatsoever. What Dr. Wahl and his team were able to do for me is fantastic, I am so grateful to him and his staff for their care and expertise, I would highly recommend them to anyone who asks.
It's taken me a while to write a review for Dr. Wahl because I wanted to keep him a secret. He's the unicorn of dentists: excellent work, amazingly fast, very gentle, and with a charming but relaxed bedside manner. Highly recommend. Just don't tell anyone.
For nearly 10 yrs. Dr. Wahl and his great team have taken excellent care of my family's and my teeth. The front desk is always helpful and responsive and Dr. Wahl even came in at 7:30 on a Saturday for me. He has solved my emergencies and improved my health. Dr. Wahl has been generous with his time to consult with me and his professional advice has saved me a lot of money. In a world where everything is business, his Humanity is extraordinary!...
Dr. Wahl is an excellent dentist. I needed a tooth abstraction and he did it so well I didn't even know the tooth was gone. My appointment wasn't for a week but I was in a lot of pain so he got me right in. He did a wonderful job.
