Stanbrick Dental’s History
It all started in 1997 with Dr. Mary Blakeley, a passionate dentist fresh out of the University of Nebraska Dental School. She opened Willow Creek Dental in Highlands Ranch, where her commitment to patient care quickly built a loyal following. Dr. Blakeley believed in building lasting relationships with her patients and delivering quality care that made a big difference.
In 2011, Dr. Blakeley’s husband, Ben, joined her with a vision that would expedite growth of their practice. Together, they sought to create a meaningful difference in the community at a larger scale—a dental group that maintained the personal touch of a local practice while offering the comprehensive care of a larger organization.
Their guiding principles were clear: build an exceptional team, provide outstanding patient care, maintain transparency, and integrate specialists into the patient experience. These principles became the foundation of what they now call “The Stanbrick Way.”
As Willow Creek Dental grew, so did the Blakeleys’ ambition. In 2017, they established Stanbrick Dental Group, a name that honors their grandfathers, Stan and Brick—figures who embodied the values they cherished. The Stanbrick Dental Group expanded by partnering with like-minded dentists across the Denver metro area, each practice retaining its unique identity while adhering to the Stanbrick philosophy of care.
The culmination of their vision came in 2022 with the opening of Stanbrick Dental Specialists, the first facility in the Denver area to fully integrate specialty care under one umbrella. This brought together endodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, prosthodontics, and orthodontics, allowing patients to receive comprehensive treatment from a coordinated team of experts.
Seamless Integration for Enhanced Care
A cornerstone of Stanbrick’s integrated model is its shared record-keeping system, which allows for seamless referrals and coordinated treatment plans. This system ensures patients experience uninterrupted care, whether they’re visiting for a routine cleaning or advanced procedures.
“This integration allows us to offer a complete treatment plan that covers every aspect of oral health,” said Ben Blakeley, Co-Founder and CEO. “By maintaining shared records across our network, we eliminate the need for patients to manage multiple appointments, ensuring that their care is efficient and comprehensive.”
The group’s newly updated website underscores its commitment to accessibility and convenience, enabling patients to schedule appointments, explore services, and learn about each practice’s unique offerings.
“By investing in this digital upgrade, we’re making it easier than ever for patients to connect with us,” added Ben. “Whether they’re looking for preventive care or advanced treatment, they’ll find everything they need through Stanbrick Group.”
Their Clinical Advisory Board, composed of Dr. Daniel Blankenburg, Dr. Elizabeth Trepka, and Dr. Janie Boyesen (Periodontist) and Katie Stager, RDH, plays an important role in guiding Stanbrick Dental Group. They supervise their dentists and specialists and are deeply involved in the management of the company.
Their specialists, including oral surgeons, orthodontists, endodontists, periodontists, and prosthodontists, work hand-in-hand with their general dentists to ensure seamless care. Each specialist is an expert in their field, bringing advanced knowledge and a commitment to dental health.
“Being part of a larger organization means we have access to cutting-edge technology and resources, but we still maintain the personalized care of a local practice,” said Dr. Elizabeth Trepka, one of the dentist-owners. “The beauty of this integrated system is that we not only help our patients achieve better oral health but also enhance their overall experience by offering all the care they need in one place.”
Staying Rooted in Community
Stanbrick Dental Group’s strong ties to the Denver community remain a key aspect of its mission.
With a refreshed brand and a forward-thinking approach, they continue to make high-quality dental care accessible and convenient for the Denver metro area. By staying true to their roots and values, Stanbrick Dental Group is shaping a brighter future for patients and the dental industry alike.
