Dr. Cara Pocano, DDS, DMD earned her dental degree from the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine in 2021, where she was awarded the Miles Markley Clinical Excellence Scholarship for outstanding clinical performance. After dental school, Dr. Pocano practiced in Colorado for several years and embraced the outdoor lifestyle — learning to ski and hiking multiple Colorado 14ers on her weekends. Originally from Arizona, Dr. Pocano has since returned to her home state and is excited to serve patients in the community she knows and loves. She brings a full range of general dentistry skills to her practice, including fillings, crowns and bridges, dentures and removable prosthetics, implants, and extractions, with a focus on delivering care that’s both effective and compassionate. Dr. Pocano believes dental care should be personal and respectful, and she makes it a priority to understand each patient as a whole person not just their teeth. She enjoys building trusting relationships, taking time to listen to concerns, and tailoring treatment plans that fit individual needs and lifestyles. Many patients appreciate her friendly manner, thorough explanations, and ability to make dental visits feel comfortable and approachable. When she’s not caring for smiles, Dr. Pocano still makes time to hit the slopes at Snowbowl during the winter and spend quality time with her mini dachshund, Nutmeg. Whether it’s exploring new trails, skiing fresh powder, or finding great local eats, she brings the same enthusiasm and attention to detail to her life outside the office as she does to her care in it.
