Dr. Buhler was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Biology from Westminster College before relocating to Richmond, Virginia, to attend the MCV/VCU School of Dentistry, where he completed his dental training. He is an active member of the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the Virginia Dental Association.

After graduating, Dr. Buhler worked in several offices within the practice and ultimately found his home at the Atlee office in 2007. He values the strong relationships he has built with both his Atlee team and patients. Dr. Buhler believes that excellent oral health plays an important role in both physical and emotional well-being. He emphasizes the importance of consistent home care and regular dental visits, and takes time to educate patients about gum and tooth disease so prevention and treatment are understandable and motivating.

Dr. Buhler provides comprehensive dental care, including anterior bonding, crowns, dental implants, and extractions. Understanding that dental anxiety can be a significant barrier to care, he offers nitrous oxide as well as oral and IV sedation options to help patients feel relaxed and comfortable during treatment.

While in dental school, Dr. Buhler met his wife, Catherine, in gross anatomy class prior to her attending medical school. They married while both were still in training. Their family grew with the birth of their son Jackson in 2006, followed by twin boys, Sam and Alex, in 2010. Outside the office, Dr. Buhler enjoys spending time with his family, hiking, playing golf, skiing, boating, and traveling.
