Louis A. Wenger DMD, MS

Orthodontist

Dr. Louis Wenger grew up on a small farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He attended Messiah College in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania where he received a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Molecular Biology and a minor in Business Administration, graduating summa cum laude.  His education continued at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine where he received his D.M.D. (Doctor of Dental Medicine) degree. A love for biomechanics and dental cosmetics led Dr. Wenger to his two-year orthodontic residency at Marquette University School of Dental Medicine where he graduated with a specialty certificate as well as a master’s degree in orthodontics.

Dr. Wenger worked as an orthodontist in the Milwaukee area for one year until his wife Alyse graduated from the Marquette University Dental School.  While searching for a home to settle down in, the two were drawn to the Des Moines area thanks to the small town feel and welcoming nature of the surrounding communities. Dr. Wenger joined Central Iowa Orthodontics in 2020 bringing a philosophy of wanting to create exceptional results in the most efficient and comfortable manner possible in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

Dr. Wenger shares a love for the outdoors along with Alyse and their son. They currently call Pleasant Hill home and enjoy hunting, fishing and golfing.
