Jeff Scheib, DDS

I was born and raised in Loveland Colorado and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Colorado State University with a degree in exercise science with a sports medicine concentration.  I later earned a DDS degree from the University of Colorado.
What I like most about dentistry is helping others by making them cavity and pain-free and improving how they feel about their smiles through my skills as a dentist.  In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors and with friends and family.
