Dr. Hongli Wang was part of the transformation of Lupin Plaza over a decade ago (location hint: near Sal’s Pizza), when she invested in remodeling the office building in order to open her dental practice, Beacon Dental. Born and raised in Beijing, China, she earned her first dental degree from Beijing University in 1988 and her second dental degree from NYU in 2001. She has been working as a dentist ever since.

In 2019, Dr. Wang underwent another investment to the building, when she expanded Beacon Dental by 2,500 square feet, with new equipment and furnishings into the space next door to open Beacon’s first and currently only orthodontist office. The Beacon Dental is team is giddy with excitement, with several brand-new offices, chairs and even headsets to communicate to each other in the large space.

New Talent At Beacon Dental

New to the team are an associate dentist, a periodontist and an orthodontist.

The Orthodontist is Dr. Wang’s classmate from dental school, Dr. Guoqiang Guan, a leading orthodontist and Director of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. He provides orthodontic treatment for both adults and children. Dr. Guan has studied orthodontics all around the wold, receiving degrees and certifications from Peking University in China, Okayama University in Japan, and the University at Buffalo in New York. Dr. Guan has more than 20 years of clinical experience in orthodontics. “Dr. Guan is an American board-certified orthodontist for adults and children. Beacon Dental is excited and honored to have Dr. Guan join us to better serve the dental needs of our patients here in the Hudson Valley,” says Dr. Wang.

Construction Nearly Complete - And Seeing New Patients Soon!

We stopped in to see Dr. Wang’s progress, and her excitement could not be contained as she inspected the rooms that were under construction and answered questions from contractors.

Now that construction is nearing completion, they have announced the expansion to their patients and are starting their new orthodontics division for kids and adults. “We are dedicated to constant and never-ending improvement to provide many more treatment options at one convenient location!” the announcement read. “We would love for you to come and visit our new office and check out our new services.”
