This month, the Dental Specialty Center of Falcon is celebrating its first anniversary serving the Falcon community. The dental office provides specialty services, including endodontics, dental implants, periodontics oral surgery and All-on-4 — a type of implant procedure that can be completed in one day.
Audrey Wang, DDS, said there are four doctors in the practice: Hank Cole, DDS, oral and maxillofacial surgeon; Scott Whitney, DDS, endodontist; and Hao Tran, DDS, endodontist. Wang is a periodontist.
“All of our providers work with our patients to development treatment plans,” Wang said. “We take time to go over all of our diagnostic tools and findings with our patients.” She said it is important to their doctors to spend all the time needed with each patient. “No patient has every felt rushed in our dental chairs,” Wang said. “We carve out time for each patient. We don’t stack them all so we’re running around. Our patients have given us feedback saying they feel special and listened to when they come here.”
The practice has experienced growth in their first year and plan to expand in 2025. “We are committed to serving more of the community,” Wang said.
Wang said all of their specialists are in-network providers with most insurance plans. They also offer zero interest, flexible payment options.
The Dental Specialty Center can see patients for emergency, same-day appointments. Wang said they also provide IV sedation. “If we have anxious patients or those with past difficult experiences in the dental chair, we can help them have a better experience,” Wang said. “If endodontic treatment is warranted, such as root canal therapy, it can help get the patient out of pain.”
The practice provides dental implants as well as All-on-4 treatment. Wang said, “All-on-4 is for people who have lost their teeth and don’t have removable options. This is an implant option that can be completed in one day.”
Wang said they also provide implants to replace missing teeth and long-term periodontal care such as gum grafts and gum recession treatments.
The office is open Monday through Friday, with flexible hours to meet patient needs. They are located in Suite 125 in the Ent Credit Union building at 7520 Bierstadt Heights in Falcon.
