What Makes Dr. Reed Special?
Forging Relationships With Patients
Achieving clinical proficiency is vitally important, but getting the human side of it right and "understanding the psychology of who we are helping" is a very proud achievement for Dr. Thomas Reed.
“My childhood dentist provided advice that has stood the test of time: ‘It's what comes along with the teeth that matters most.’ Comprehensive oral health care is integral to total health and wellness, which is the foundation of my approach to the practice of dentistry.”
A Leader in Dentistry
As a co-founder, strategic coach, and mentor at Dynamic Dental Ascension, Dr. Reed shares his expertise with dental practice owners seeking mastery over leadership and practice management skills. The strategic coaching program helps dentists grow as leaders while building healthier, more resilient practices.
"A mentor should be equally on the learning frontier with their mentee. I had great mentors myself growing up, and it's taken me the better part of 28 years to get to this level where I feel like I'm now a teacher."
Renowned for His Work
With over 30 years of experience as both a skilled general practitioner and business owner, Dr. Reed has established himself as a trusted figure in oral healthcare in Colorado. 5280, Denver's Mile High Magazine, distinguished him as a Top Dentist in 2024 and 2026, and he is an Implant Pathways Fellow.
“Every member of my team has to be people-first individuals, not in the service of themselves. I’m a big believer in self-worth, but you have to have a level of servitude."
“I’m confident in his skills.”
Gary is a retired dentist who worked alongside Dr. Thomas Reed for 16 years. As a patient, he's received high-quality dental work, including a custom tooth-colored crown that is indistinguishable from his natural teeth. Gary's wife and son are also patients at Link Dental, so they're happily here for the long haul.
