Your Trusted Medicaid Dentist in Denver South

My name is Dr. Nibal Zrik and I grew up in northern Virginia and attended VCU School of Dentistry. My wife and I moved to Denver to enjoy the incredible outdoor lifestyle that Colorado has to offer. In my free time I enjoy skiing, dirt biking, mountain biking, and fly fishing. I have wanted to become a dentist since I had a terrible toothache at the age of fifteen. I love what I do and pride myself on making every patient feel comfortable and respected.

Originally from Dayton, Ohio, I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of South Carolina before earning my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from The Ohio State University. I am passionate about providing high-quality, patient-centered dental care and helping people achieve healthy, confident smiles. Outside the office, I enjoy spending time outdoors—whether it's skiing, rock climbing, or exploring new trails on my bicycle.

I earned my undergraduate degree from James Madison University and was the first student to intern with Stanford Research. After working in a genetics lab at Howard Hughes Medical Institute, I realized my true calling was dentistry. I earned my DDS from Virginia Commonwealth University, excelling in endodontics and performing complex root canals for classmates’ patients. I completed a General Practice Residency at Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Hospital, advancing my skills in prosthodontics, periodontics, and oral surgery. During COVID, I provided emergency care to vulnerable veterans. After practicing in Fredericksburg, Virginia, I relocated to Colorado. Being a dentist is a dream come true—I’m honored to care for every patient who trusts me.

My name is Dr. Khai Nguyen. I grew up in in Denver, Colorado. I attended the University of Colorado Denver for my degree in Biology. Since I was a kid, I used to be terrified of the dentist and did not think I would work in a dental office. However, I began to have a better, more comfortable experience because my dentist and his dental assistants were willing to take things slow allowing me to be more confident in their care. This experience motivated me to become a dentist and provide the same compassionate care for those who are afraid of the dental office like I was. I attended the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine and earned my dental degree. Since then, I have been practicing dentistry and serving patients in need of dental care. Outside of work, I enjoy walking outside and plan hikes in national parks. I recently developed new interests in bowling and pickleball.

Originally from Colorado, I’m excited to serve the community I call home. I believe every patient deserves compassion, respect, and personalized care. My training in comprehensive dentistry allows me to provide a wide range of treatments, from preventive care to restoring healthy, confident smiles. My background in community health strengthened my commitment to listening to patients and making every visit comfortable and positive. I am dedicated to continuing my education to provide quality care using the latest technology. Outside the office, I enjoy hiking, snowboarding, and spending time with family and friends. I look forward to building lasting relationships and helping you achieve a healthy smile for years to come!
