Founder and CEO

Dr. Wehrle graduated from Baylor College of Dentistry in 1989. He immediately took a GPR at Worcester City Hospital and the University of Massachusetts Hospital.

Dr. Wehrle founded the WIIC in 2014 as a way to train dentist in implantology and to fund his mission work in Puebla. The idea was to take the best technology from the United States, and bring it into Mexico, along with the best instructors from around the world to serve the needs of the people of Puebla by placing free implants in a professional and responsible fashion. It is important to know that since this is a ministry’s ALL the patients are restored to the same level as the patients in his own private practice.

Dr. Wehrle also believes that you must actually give back to and serve your fellow man. To this effect, he was a founding member of the BAM (Business as Mission) Center which houses the WIIC. The BAM Center serves the underprivileged of Puebla, Mexico through a water ministry, puppet evangelism ministry, micro-lending to business start-ups, orphanages and various construction projects. He also is the chairman of the Northeast Tarrant County Dental Clinic which serves underprivileged children in the Mid-Cities area between Dallas and Ft. Worth.
