Dentist Jack Nguyen, sits in a patient room at his new business, Awesome Dental, near Quebec Square.

Providing affordable dentistry in Stapleton is the goal of Dr. Jack Nguyen, who opened Awesome Dental Stapleton in April. “Dental services can be expensive,” said Nguyen. “Our focus is to close the gap and make dentistry affordable, in a clean, spacious office. We’re not a boutique; I don’t have a Mercedes or a 5,000-square-foot house. I like what I do; it’s not all about the bottom line. I discuss a patient’s options with them to facilitate the most educated decisions. If a patient can only do one thing, I’ll do it.”

Nguyen’s parents immigrated to Kansas from Vietnam in 1975, just before the fall of Saigon. “Dad had been in the Special Forces and earned a Purple Heart; Mom worked for the U.S. Embassy. When they came to this country, they benefited from Medicaid, so I accept Medicaid now.”

Nguyen earned his doctorate in dentistry in California and moved to Colorado in 2010. “I worked as an associate and then decided to open my own practice,” he said. “When I told my friends, they all said, ‘That’s awesome!’ So I named it Awesome Dental.”

In addition to cleaning, fillings and crowns, Nguyen provides a wide range of services, including root canals, implants, oral surgery, bridges and dentures. “I have experience with a wide variety of cases, including trauma and infections. I make the dentures by hand. I like diverse and challenging work.”

Awesome Dental Stapleton’s office, 4,126 square feet on the second floor of Vectra Bank at 3600 N. Quebec, is completely new. “It was built from scratch. I did some of the work, like painting and helping with the electrical. Each treatment room is a private suite with views of the Rocky Mountains and downtown skyline,” said Nguyen.
