History
Established in 1964.
You could say that smiles run in our family. Dr. Jerry is a second generation orthodontist. His father, Dr. Gerard Huerter, Sr., now retired, started the practice in 1964. Dr. Jerry's uncle, Dr. Ron Huerter and his two cousins, Dr. Dan Huerter and Dr. Tom Huerter are also orthodontists.
Dr. Jerry graduated from UMKC School of Dentistry and attended St. Louis University to receive his Master's of Science in Orthodontics in 1999 and subsequently joined his father's practice. With great pride, Dr. Jerry continues the tradition of creating quality smiles in Johnson and Wyandotte Counties.
