New Space, New Chapter: WNC Dental Welcomes Patients to Its State-of-the-Art Facility

At WNC Dental, excellence isn’t new. The practice has been serving Asheville-area patients with the latest technology and compassionate care for nearly 25 years. Until recently, however, the team practiced out of a space that wasn’t built for dentistry.

“For years now, Dr. Ashley and I have been taking steps toward our own space—one designed specifically around our patients’ needs and our high standard of care,” Dr. Rory O’Kane said. “Finally, that dream is a reality.”

Now, WNC Dental calls a beautiful craftsman-style building, outfitted with the latest dental technology, its home. The new office, conveniently located on Airport Road in Arden, boasts features like integrated 3D digital scanners, in-room X-ray arms, an on-site dental lab to support same-day crowns, and surgical suites for implants and other advanced procedures.

The cutting-edge tools aren’t just impressive; the doctors prioritized upgrades that truly make a difference in the patient experience and level of care. Better equipment and a thoughtfully designed space mean fewer appointments, more precise care, and a more comfortable visit.

“For the first time, it feels like our space really reflects the patient-centered care, excellence, and warmth we’ve always valued,” said Dr. Ashley Westmoreland. “Seeing our patients and team feel at home in our new office has been so gratifying.”

Even with all of the upgrades the new WNC Dental office offers, Drs. O’Kane and Westmoreland agree: The team is the cornerstone of the practice. From the friendly staff at the front desk to the entire clinical team, it’s clear this highly trained team cares about its patients.

And, while the WNC Dental team is passionate about dentistry, they recognize not everyone looks forward to a visit to the dentist. The team and the new space work together to make patients as comfortable as possible at every appointment. Lots of natural light, comfortable operatories, chilled water, and a coffee station—plus compassionate, personable staff—all put patients at ease. 

WNC takes the time to understand each patient’s unique goals and concerns, developing personalized treatment plans for healthy, happy smiles. Whether for routine cleanings, restorative work, or cosmetic enhancements, WNC Dental is ready to welcome new patients to its state-of-the-art facility.
