Convenient Access from The Village
For a dentist The Village, OK residents can see before work, Hefner Dental sits about 6 minutes from The Village Library, a short way up Pennsylvania and across Hefner Rd in northwest Oklahoma City. The route uses just two main roads. Dr. Mark Phan and his team open early on two weekdays, which suits people who would rather not burn a lunch hour on a cleaning.
Leave The Village Library at 10307 N Pennsylvania Ave and drive north on Pennsylvania to W Hefner Rd, also known as NW 122nd St. Turn left and head west for roughly two miles, crossing N May Ave and continuing past the Lake Hefner Parkway (SH-74) interchange. Hefner Pointe Dr opens on your right, and our door is at 11101 Hefner Pointe Dr Ste 100, Oklahoma City, OK 73120. Plan on about 2.5 miles in total, with no freeway driving and no tolls.
The practice says ample parking waits right at the professional complex and that patients enter a ground-floor suite. Our Google Maps page handles the navigation on your phone. Our pages for Britton and Nichols Hills cover the communities just beyond the city line.
A Close-In Practice for People Who Live and Work in The Village
The Village is a city in its own right, with a City Manager and an elected council whose members take turns in the mayor's seat. Its offices are at 2304 Manchester Drive, and the City of The Village website posts council business and city services. Oklahoma City wraps around almost the entire boundary, and Nichols Hills borders it on the south. That tight geography explains why so many errands, and dental visits, cross a city line without anyone noticing.
Plenty of daily commuting runs the other way, too. The Village is home to the corporate headquarters of Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores, and the area's community newspaper is based there as well. People who work at those offices, or anywhere along N Pennsylvania Ave and N May Ave, can reach us in the time it takes to finish a coffee.
The library on Pennsylvania has served The Village since 1966. Its current building opened in 1990, paid for by a sales tax that residents approved, and a 2019 renovation refreshed the space without losing the stained-glass art it is known for. Our office sits a short drive northwest of that landmark, in Oklahoma County like the rest of the area.
Fitting Dental Visits Around a Workday in The Village
Desk jobs and long meetings tend to push dental care to the bottom of the list. Our Wednesday and Thursday schedule starts at 7:00 AM, meaning cleanings and crown fittings can wrap up before many offices open. Early in the week, patients are seen 8:00 AM through 4:00 PM, while Friday through Sunday the office is closed.
Professionals also tend to notice their smile on video calls. Coffee and tea stain enamel slowly, and teeth that were straight at twenty can shift and chip by forty. Whitening, veneers and tooth-colored crowns each solve a different version of that problem, and Dr. Phan lays out the options plainly so you can choose without pressure.
Comfort matters on a tight schedule too. Our intraoral scanner captures the bite digitally, skipping the putty trays entirely, and displays it on a monitor at the chair. The page on dental crowns and precision fit technology shows how those scans help a new crown seat accurately.
Emergencies rarely wait for a convenient day. A cracked tooth at lunch or a sudden ache during a meeting is the kind of call our team works to answer the same day, with every effort made to fit an emergency patient in. For someone not yet on our books, the $39 Emergency Exam & X-Ray, limited to new patients, pairs a targeted exam with whatever x-rays the problem requires and a clear treatment plan.
Treatments From a Dentist The Village, OK Residents Can Reach Early
Dental Crowns
All-ceramic and zirconia crowns rebuild teeth that decay, a crack or a root canal has left fragile. They also top dental implants. Book the 7:00 AM slot and a crown visit is done before your first meeting.
Opalescence™ Boost™ Whitening
In-office Opalescence Boost whitening takes place right in our chair. For people who prefer to whiten at home, the practice also provides Opalescence Go and take-home gel. Either route suits someone with an interview or a conference talk on the calendar.
Dental Veneers
Custom porcelain veneers cover stains that bleaching cannot reach, along with chips, gaps and uneven edges. Dr. Phan can place a single veneer or plan a full smile makeover. Every veneer is crafted to blend with its neighbors.
Gum Care
Stress and skipped cleanings can let gum disease advance quietly. Screening at each visit catches it early, and when treatment is needed, options range from a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to laser therapy or antibiotics. Healthy gums also give veneers and crowns a stable frame.
Cavity Prevention
Routine cleanings and exams stop minor issues from growing. Sealants and fluoride add protection, and our hygienists give practical advice for people who snack at their desks. Children and teens in the household are welcome as well.
Meet Your Dentist
As a former faculty member at the OU College of Dentistry, Dr. Mark Phan, DDS, taught advanced procedures to other dentists. His courses covered implants, bone grafts, sinus lifts, crowns and bridges, and CAD/CAM dentistry. Hygienists and front-office staff complete the team behind him.
Insurance & Financing
You will see an itemized estimate of fees and projected insurance payments ahead of any treatment. We file the claims on your behalf. For anything coverage does not reach, flexible financing is available, and we accept CareCredit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Hefner Dental from The Village, and how do I get there?
It is a drive of about 2.5 miles, close to 6 minutes, from The Village Library. Go north on N Pennsylvania Ave, turn west on W Hefner Rd, and follow it past N May Ave to Hefner Pointe Dr. Anyone weighing a dentist The Village, OK commuters can visit before work will find no tolls on the way.
Can I schedule a crown appointment before the workday starts?
Yes, crown appointments can begin as early as 7:00 AM on Wednesday and Thursday. An early slot means treatment is finished before most offices fill up. Monday and Tuesday appointments start at 8:00 AM if those days work better. Our office is closed Friday through Sunday.
Why do you use a digital scanner instead of impression trays?
A digital scanner is more comfortable and gives Dr. Phan a precise 3D image of your teeth. Patients with a strong gag reflex appreciate skipping the goopy impression material. You can also see the scan on a chairside screen while he explains your treatment.
Should I whiten my teeth or get veneers for stains?
Whitening is usually the first step for general yellowing from coffee, tea or age. Veneers make more sense when stains do not respond to bleaching, or when chips and uneven edges bother you as much as the color. Dr. Phan can look at your teeth and walk you through both choices before you commit.
Do I get a cost estimate before you start treatment?
Yes, every patient sees an itemized estimate, including expected insurance coverage, before work begins. Bu, who joined the office in 1998 and now manages it, pushes to get every dollar of value from your benefits. If a balance remains, flexible financing can spread the cost out.
