Convenient Access from Britton
Shop owners, staff and longtime residents along Britton Road can reach Hefner Dental in about 9 minutes, making us a practical dentist near Britton for anyone who keeps a tight schedule. Our office sits off W Hefner Rd in northwest Oklahoma City, one exit north of where the drive joins the Lake Hefner Parkway. Early hours on Wednesday and Thursday let you handle a cleaning before the open sign goes up.
Start in the Britton District at the N Francis Ave corner, where the City cut the ribbon on the new streetscape. Head west on Britton Rd, crossing N Western Ave, N Pennsylvania Ave and N May Ave, then ride Lake Hefner Parkway (SH-74) north for a single exit. Leave at W Hefner Rd and follow Hefner Pointe Dr to 11101 Hefner Pointe Dr Ste 100, Oklahoma City, OK 73120. That works out to roughly 4.1 miles, all toll-free.
By the practice's own account, the complex has ample parking and our suite is at ground level. Drop the exact pin into your phone from our Google Maps listing. Separate pages cover The Village and Nichols Hills, two nearby cities.
A Dental Office That Respects Britton's Working Rhythm
Britton began in 1889 as the first railway station north of Oklahoma City and stayed an independent town until Oklahoma City annexed it in 1950. The Interurban linked it to the city in 1910, and Route 66 ran through downtown Britton from 1936 to 1953. Owl Courts, a motel from that era, still stands as a reminder of the highway years.
Today the old main street is getting a second wind. The Britton District improvements brought corner bump-outs, new lighting, shade trees, benches, bike racks, sidewalks and bike lanes to the stretch between Western Ave and Classen Blvd. The district, which reaches from Waverly Ave to Broadway Extension in Oklahoma County, celebrated the work in 2025 with District Day Fest, a one-mile Food and Fun Run, live music and a vendor market.
A revived district means small businesses, and small businesses mean owners and employees who cannot step away at mid-morning. We keep that reality in mind. Whether you run a shop on the main street or live a few blocks off it, our goal is a visit that fits around opening time rather than cutting into it. Families of owners and staff are welcome too, since Dr. Phan treats children, teens and adults.
Dental Priorities for Busy Britton Business Owners
When the shop depends on you, a toothache that lingers for a week costs more than a morning off. A loose filling or a crown that suddenly feels too tall costs less to fix early than late. Midweek, the first patients are seen at 7:00 AM on Wednesday and Thursday, while Monday and Tuesday hours are 8:00 AM until 4:00 PM. We are closed Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Gum health is easy to neglect when you are on your feet all day. Gums that bleed at the sink, look swollen or leave a stubborn sour taste deserve an exam. Dr. Phan uses laser dentistry for gum treatment and for reducing bacteria during cleanings, which can make care more comfortable for patients who have put it off.
Your smile is also part of how customers see you. Chipped front teeth and dark old fillings can be replaced with restorations that blend in, and ceramic crowns can match neighboring teeth closely, as described on the page about tooth-colored crowns and seamless smile integration. Whitening can freshen the rest of the smile once repairs are in place.
Owners who cannot keep coming back for one tooth at a time have another option. Several treatments can often be grouped into a single longer visit, and nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation keeps that appointment comfortable. Oral sedation means someone else drives you home afterward, so line up a ride and a trusted employee to open the store.
Treatment Choices for Patients Seeking a Dentist Near Britton
Gum Care
Every checkup includes a gum disease screening. Deep cleaning removes buildup under the gums, and laser or antibiotic therapy helps the tissue recover. Catching gum problems early protects the teeth you rely on for years to come.
Emergency Dentistry
A cracked molar, a lost crown or swelling from an abscess can derail a business day. When an emergency strikes, our team makes every effort to fit you in on the same day you call. Emergency extractions are also available when needed.
Dental Crowns
A crown protects a tooth undermined by an oversized filling, a break or a root canal. Digital impressions replace messy trays, and all-ceramic or zirconia materials let you pick strength and appearance. Crowns can also restore dental implants.
Opalescence™ Boost™ Whitening
In-office Opalescence Boost whitening lifts coffee and tea stains for people who greet customers all day. Opalescence Go and take-home gel let you whiten at home instead. Whitening works best on healthy teeth, so it usually follows any needed repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Hefner Dental from Britton, and how do I get there?
Hefner Dental sits about 4.1 miles from the Francis Ave corner of the district, typically a 9-minute drive. Britton Rd carries you west to the Parkway, and one exit north puts you on W Hefner Rd beside Hefner Pointe Dr. For a dentist near Britton with early weekday hours, that short run up the Parkway is all it takes.
My crown fell off. Is that an emergency?
Yes, treat it as urgent and phone our office promptly. Store the crown in a small bag, keep chewing to the opposite side, and never reattach it with household glue. Because it is an emergency for the exposed tooth, we try to see you the same day. Dr. Phan then checks whether the crown can go back on or needs replacing.
What does a first emergency visit cost?
For a new patient, it is $39 through our $39 Emergency Exam & X-Ray, and that price is for new patients only. It includes a focused exam, the x-rays your problem requires and Dr. Phan's recommendations for treatment. By the end of the visit you understand the problem and the repair.
Can laser treatment help with bleeding gums?
Yes, laser gum therapy is one way our office treats the infection behind bleeding gums. The laser reduces bacteria and recontours soft tissue, and it is often paired with scaling and root planing. Dr. Phan decides which approach fits after a gum disease screening and a look at your x-rays.
Do tooth-colored crowns look natural next to my other teeth?
Yes, all-ceramic crowns are designed to match the shade and shape of the teeth around them. Dr. Phan uses digital impressions to plan the fit, and the color is chosen to blend with your natural enamel. Zirconia is a sturdier option for back teeth that take heavy chewing forces.
