Dawn Wehking
DDS, MAGD, AAACD
When you think of your dentist, you probably don’t think about someone who loves to build and create. Dr. Dawn Wehking is a born builder. She loves to build relationships and she loves hands-on work that allows her to build something both structurally sound as well as beautiful.
So then it might not surprise you that Dr. Wehking didn’t grow up wanting to be a dentist. Initially she wanted to own a restaurant because she wanted to build a sense of community and foster relationships with her patrons. But she quickly realized running a local hotspot wouldn’t satisfy her need for creativity and hands-on work.
What she needed was a way to combine her structural and artistic flair with her passion for building relationships and a sense of community. That’s when dentistry became her clear career choice.
When you entrust your dental care to Dr. Wehking, you’ll see she’s creating and building something quite special at Complete Family & Aesthetic Dentistry. She’s building a relationship with you so she understands you and your needs. She’s building a solid team who provides you the best possible care. She’s creating a practice that’s a committed part of the Lafayette community. And she’s creating beautiful, healthy smiles.
Dr. Wehking also strongly believes in building her knowledge through Continuing Education (CE). She completes over 200 hours CE per year and throughout her career she’s totaled over 1500 hours. Dr. Wehking was awarded Master status with the Academy of General Dentistry– an accomplishment that less than 2% of Dentists have completed. Additionally, Dr. Wehking is an Accredited Member of The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry – an accomplishment that less than 350 dentists in the world have achieved.
She has written clinical articles and served as visiting faculty for Spear Education. Dr. Wehking has also written and spoke on behalf of the American Dental Association, teaching dental students and new dentists about life after dental school.

You see, Dr. Wehking is much more than just a dentist. She’s a smile architect. (Wondering about the Tooth Fairy’s house in the Complete Family and Aesthetic Dentistry office? Well, Dr. Wehking built that, too.)
When she’s not dentisting, you can find Dr. Dawn enjoying Colorado’s beautiful outdoors with her husband, Jason, their two fur babies, and their new baby, Barrett.
