Many of you may remember Dr. LaFonte’s wife, Gayle, who was a dental hygienist in this office for nine years.
When not in the office, Dr. LaFonte enjoys spending time with his family. Bret and Gayle have four children:

He has spent the last decade coaching his children’s various sports teams. When not coaching or shuttling the
kids around, Dr. LaFonte enjoys watching the local pro sports teams (don’t get him going about the Broncos!!)
and playing the occasional round of golf.
Dr. LaFonte’s philosophy to treat each patient like a family member is seen in his gentle and caring chair
side manner. Whether you just need a check-up or need more involved dental work, Dr. LaFonte always puts his
patient’s best care first.
