Dr. Ritchie Beougher
Dr. Ritchie Beougher (pronounced BOO-er) went on to graduate from the University of Kansas, followed by four years at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where he obtained his Doctorate of Dental Surgery. He completed his residency at the United States Navy in San Diego, California. To this day, Dr. Beougher continues his education with higher-level graduate courses, including the Master’s Program at the Las Vegas Institute of Advanced Dental Studies, the University of Alabama, the Rosenthal Institute in New York City, and the Aesthetic Advantage program at Palm Beach University. So impressed with Dr. Beougher’s abilities, the Rosenthal Institute and the Aesthetic Advantage programs invited him to return as a premier clinical instructor. Dr. Beougher and his wife have 4 children, Cavanaugh, Raleigh, Luis, and Patricio. He feels blessed to live and work in such a wonderful area. As the top cosmetic dentist in Plano, Dr. Beougher has performed over 3,000 cosmetic dental procedures.
Top Gun
We hope everyone got to see the new Top Gun sequel! It was entertaining and a great movie to follow the original filmed in San Diego and Nevada.
Dr. Beougher has special memories of the 1985 “Top Gun” film. He served as a First Lieutenant and was stationed in San Diego during the filming of the movie and even met the cast! He did a dental residency training there and still has a Special Forces Lifetime Military ID. Dr. Beougher says he has a “Top Gun” staff and we all think we have “Top Gun” patients that we love to help and serve!
Arch and Sherry Bonnema
Dr. Beougher and long-term patients, Arch and Sherry Bonnema supported Military Ministry at Norfolk, VA to give hope, support, and guidance to new military men and women.
Dr. Beougher, Chuck Norris, and Arch were able to land on an aircraft carrier, The USS Roosevelt, and spend 24 hours touring the aircraft carrier as its 110 aircraft took off and landed every 10 minutes to be graded and ready for an 8-month Persian Gulf mission. Chuck stayed up all night signing autographs to all the 4500 crew member fans of his. We stood on the flight deck at sunset near Fort Lauderdale, Florida and watched the two F-16 pilots salute Chuck and then catapult in take-off from the ship to their maneuvers and then come back and be graded on their landings. It was an amazing “Top Gun” experience to stand by Chuck and watch the F-16 jets ‘blast off’ from the ship. Chuck is truly an amazing person (our Walker, Texas Ranger) and our military men and women are outstanding!
