  • The people. I felt surrounded by smart, motivated, interesting students and faculty who helped me develop both professionally and personally. I also met my wife at Harvard, who was in the medical school class.
  • My mentor. Residency is a challenging time; full of long hours and difficult lessons, but a mentor with vision will make the experience entirely worthwhile. Dr. Lyndon Cooper prepared me well for my career in prosthodontics and I am grateful for all that he has taught me
  • The professional society with which Im most proud to be a member is PEERS. This group is associated with Dentsply Sirona and composed of leading clinicians, educators, and researchers from around North America with a shared commitment to the advancement of implant dentistry.
  • The patients. We encounter patients with a wide variety of dental problems, some of which have no clear solution. I really enjoy building relationships with my patients and finding new ways to help them.
  • A colleague of mine once told me that in prosthodontics, successful outcomes are all about maintaining control. And Ive learned that this lesson is just as true in the business side of restorative dentistry as it is in the clinical. When I saw an opportunity to be in control of my career and how I practice, I decided to take the leap.
  • Im fortunate to have been invited to speak in cities across the country, and Ive met many great people along the way, so it is difficult to pick one. However, I would say my favorite program has been the STEPPS Implant Mini-Residency. This is a 4 part series starting with implant basics and building into more complex concepts. As a multi-part lecture, it is exciting to see the group grow in both skills and confidence.
  • Im not sure if its the biggest issue, but access to accurate information is certainly an issue facing patients seeking dental care. The internet is full of opinions, bias, and falsehoods related to dentistry. Patients frequently tell me that they dont know who to trust or where to go.
  • Its a balancing act. My belief is that patients generally want the simplest solution to the most problems. This means listening to your patients and hearing their priorities. It means understanding what options might be available, how to provide that option at a high level, and then how to make it affordable. Sometimes it just takes time to find the right strategy.
  • That Prosthodontists are automatically more expensive than general dentists. Because Prosthodontists dont generally participate in dental insurance, and we often treat patients with complex dental problems, we often create our own strategies for billing based on what the patient needs, not what their insurance will cover. On the surface, a single procedure may look more expensive, but when you look deeper, and everything is taken into account, prosthodontists generally have fees well within the averages.

    I got my new teeth at Trailhead Dental and I could not be more pleased!!! They brought back the confidence that I had lost from severe tooth loss! I feel like family with these excellent providers and I would highly recommend them to anyone that needs dentures or any other service that they provide. I had both top and bottom complete removable dentures done by Trailhead and they have given me a new lease on life!! It may sound cheesy but it's true! I love to smile now more then ever and they make sure that they fit right and stay comfortable. The employees here are all both genuine and kind. It was scary to be without teeth so having them there makes a huge difference. I no longer fear going to the dentist!! Thanks Trailhead From Max Harrison

    Dr. Leong proved himself to be an absolute expert in making my obturator after having half of my upper jaw and pallette removed for a tumor in my sinus. No one can tell I'm now sporting half a top row of false teeth, and the appliance becomes ever more comfortable with each adjustment as the weeks go by. Dr. Leong has a lot of experience treating situations like mine, and happily explained what the process was and what to expect at each step in his gentle manner. He uses the latest cutting edge equipment in combination with a sculptor's touch to create amazing dental appliances. I would unconditionally reccommend his work to anyone. 5 stars with no reservations. Dan D., Engineer, Boulder CO

    I couldn't be more pleased with the great care Dr Leong and his team gave me. The dental work that I needed was extensive and he went out of his way to provide the best care possible. His reputation as one of the best in Denver is well deserved.

    I needed a very complex, multidisciplinary approach to correct my bite and restore my front uppers. It required an orthodontist, prosthodontist, and endodontist to complete. Dr. Leong not only took the lead on the restoration, but coordinated all the different disciplines over the two-year (I know!) project. I honestly feel so lucky to have found Trailhead dental. Dr. Leong is a type-A perfectionist (in the best way), and his team are courteous and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them then to anyone.

    Dr. Leong came highly recommended and my experience only reinforced why his practice has such a stellar reputation. His work was outstanding and his level of care was top notch, with a kind and patient demeanor from he and his team.

    Dr. Leong and his staff are completely professional and compassionate. But the reason you should consider Dr Leong for your cosmetic dentistry needs is his meticulous attention to detail. He works tirelessly and exquisitely to produce a successful and natural looking outcome seamlessly. I will be recommending Dr Leong and Trailhead Dentistry without hesitation to my friends and family.

    Horrible experience, bad service and sub-par office. If you have higher standards with your dental care this is not the office for you. Your time is not valued and you aren't respected as a patient. This office gave me more dental anxiety than I was already experiencing.

    Dr. Austin Leong is a perfectionist and an artist! I could not be happier with my implants. The final result is nothing less than amazing. The entire process from start to finish was seamless. I searched for over 5 years for a prosthodontics office of this caliber.

    They only care about money so don't go there because they are horrible people who treat people with very little respect!

    Going to the dentist can be a drag as it can sometimes be an unpleasant experience but Dr. Leong and his team were amazing to deal with. I came in for a last minute procedure and they were able to accomodate me during the week of Christmas! Office was clean and COVID friendly. Its also nice to have views of the mountains while getting your procedure done. I would highly recommend Dr. Leong to anyone who needs dental work done.

    After a stroke, my father needed new dentures. The dentist seemed to understand the needs my father had and worked with him to make sure the dentures fit comfortably and were functional to help improve my father's quality of life.

    They were in the middle of making a prosthetic to help me with speech and the covid pandemic hit. They canceled my appointments mid project and said they'd contact me when they opened back up. Months went by and they never contacted me. I left two messages with them and never got a call back. My insurance paid them thousands of dollars and I never got my prosthetic. On top of that, they charged me $150 for a consultation fee and were supposed to reimburse me when the insurance company paid them and I never got that back. Unprofessional.

    I would rate Dr Leong six stars if it were possible. He and his team are amazing. I needed a bridge on front teeth from a failed implant elsewhere. I was terrified. Dr Leong uses very high tech equipment and was able to help me choose the best option for a lasting result. The final outcome exceeded my expectations. Beautiful teeth with the perfect color match which is usually so difficult. He is an artist and won't quit until the end result is the very best it can be. I'm so pleased and smiling again. Thanks to all you there. Job well done.

    Trailhead Dental truly deserves each one of its stars. By the time I met the Trailhead Dental Team I had lost so many teeth that bridges or mouth pieces were not a viable option. Dr. Leong was determined to save the few teeth I had left and devised a plan accordingly. He proposed three different options, so I could choose the one that worked best for me. Even though I lost another front tooth during the long travel home, Dr. Leong was ready with a plan. I had six strategic implants and, based on these implants, Dr. Leong successfully reconstructed my teeth so that I have a full smile and can eat anything I want again, including salads. I didn't think it was possible. Dr. Leong is incredibly patient, kind, and compassionate. He is extremely skilled and uses top-notch technology to work his miracles. His staff is always courteous and helpful and will work with your schedule. Simply put, Dr. Leong is the very, very BEST!

    Look no further than Dr. Leong and Trailhead Dental. This is an amazing practice and my results are incredible. If you are going to have to spend a lot of money anyway, do it properly :) Seriously though. Dr. Leong made me feel very comfortable even though I was a bit of an emotional wreck over losing a front tooth and had to extend the bridge from canine to canine. I was expecting to look like I had dentures but they are so natural looking no one can tell. I was almost joking when I asked if I could have teeth like Sandra Bullock but he said "send me a picture" and, now I have teeth like Sandra Bullock! LOL. The process included two temporary bridges to get everything looking the way I hoped. So thanks to you Dr. Leong and your wonderful staff!

    Dr. Leong and his team have been a joy to work with. As a patient with a bilateral cleft palate, my needs are complex, and Dr. Leong has approached my case with kindness and ingenuity. I have felt comfortable at all times, and Dr. Leong and his staff always take time to explain my options and answer any questions I may have. The work he has done is beautiful, and I'm happy with my smile!

    I have received service and care from Trailhead Dental over the past two years and could not be more satisfied. I needed to have extensive work done- extractions, implants and prosthetics. Dr. Limmer was a true artist and scientist in crafting a perfect fit functionally and esthetically for me. I am completely happy with the final product and highly recommend this practice to others.
