"Oral health is a partnership. Getting your cleaning means nothing if everything falls apart after your check up. Half of the work is done here and half of the work is home care. Knowledge is the most important part. We strive to educate our patients so they understand every procedure done and how to maintain it."
Dr. Tran grew up in Los Angeles, California where he graduated from the University of California, Irvine with a degree in Biological Sciences. He then attended Temple University School of Dentistry and earned his Doctorate in Dental Medicine. When he’s not in the office, he enjoys snowboarding, running marathons, and paddle boarding. He also spends a considerable amount of time giving back to the community with organizations such as Colorado Mission of Mercy.
