Meet Our Dentists

Dr. Allan Acton opened Cary Family Dental in 2003 and since that time, has become one of the Triangle’s most accomplished and trusted dentists. He graduated from the Medical College of Virginia and completed his advanced dental education residency at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry.

In 2008, Dr. Acton graduated with honors from The Hornbrook Group’s distinguished national training program and completed training on the DuraTHIN veneer. Dr. Acton is currently only one of four dentists in the state who are certified to provide DuraTHIN veneers and the only dentist certified in the Triangle and central NC area. That same year, Dr. Acton was voted “Best Cosmetic Dentist” in western Wake County by Cary Magazine readers and repeated the distinction for the second consecutive year in 2009.

Most recently, Dr. Acton received a Fellowship Award from the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI). The ICOI was founded in 1972 and has 12,000 members worldwide in 89 countries. It is the world’s largest dental implant organization, as well as the world’s largest provider of continuing dental implant education, and currently has 2,582 active Fellows in the United States. The awarding of Fellowship status is one of the highest honors a professional society, such as the ICOI, can bestow on a dental professional involved in oral implantology. Nominees achieve Fellowship status through their efforts in education, research, and actual clinical experiences.

Dr. Acton and Cary Family Dental are also committed to their community. Together, they have raised over $60,000 for the Smiles for Life campaign, an annual four-month-long campaign sponsored by the Crown Council that raises money to help children facing serious health and educational problems. The practice also provides free dental health presentations to local preschools and elementary schools in order to teach children the basics of proper dental care.

Dr. Acton is happily married and has an adorable daughter.

Dr. Eric Davis is a North Carolina native and Tar Heel through and through. Dr. Davis graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a B.S. in Biology.

After teaching high school chemistry for 5 years, Dr. Davis returned to UNC-CH to receive his Doctorate in Dental Surgery and complete an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency.

Dr. Davis has received extensive training in implant dentistry, periodontology, and orofacial pain for his career. He provides patients with exquisite care in a variety of areas such as complex restorations, smile makeovers, and dental implants — all while building quality relationships with his patients.

Dr. Davis believes in understanding the expectations and limitations of his patients and tailoring treatment to fit their needs. He is passionate about helping patients build a confident smile and establish healthy dental habits.

Dr. Davis works tirelessly to instill confidence and faith in the dental profession through acts of empathy, kindness, and skilled work.

When he’s out of the office, you may find Dr. Davis at one of the many area parks, biking, running, or hiking with his wife and their lab, Natty.

Dr. Kristin Madden is a graduate of the UNC-CH School of Dentistry, and a member of the North Carolina Dental Society and the American Dental Association. She is a certified provider of Invisalign clear braces. Dr. Madden is best known for the quality care she provides and for making each of her patients feel like family.

Dr. Kristin Madden lives in Durham, NC with her boyfriend, Esteban, sommelier and owner of BarBrunello.com, his two daughters, and the newest addition to their family, Coco, an 11-pound Cavapoo.

Both her mom and dad are dentists, making dentistry a part of her DNA. They worked together from the time she finished dental school at UNC School of Dentistry in 2012, up until they retired this past March. Dr. Madden is happy to have found a new family at Cary Family Dental. Her goal is to make you feel like family as well from the moment you step into our office.

Dr. Bryant Wooten was born and raised in Cary, North Carolina. He earned a BS in Biology from UNC-Chapel Hill. He then moved to Richmond, VA, where he completed his Doctorate in Dental Surgery at VCU School of Dentistry. His commitment to public health dentistry earned him the National Health Service Corps Scholarship during his tenure at VCU. He then went on to practice at a Federally Qualified Health Center in Philadelphia, PA, while serving as an adjunct professor for Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry. Later, he joined a private practice in Richmond, VA, before deciding to relocate back to Cary in 2022. He is thrilled to now have the opportunity to serve the community he grew up in.

Dr. Wooten’s treatment philosophy is simple: Treat each patient as if they were a close friend or family member. He understands that each patient has individual needs and loves that this profession allows him to form close, long-term relationships. He possesses a gentle touch and an aptitude for working with patients dealing with anxiety. He also has a special interest and has received extensive training in Invisalign, root canals, and cosmetic dentistry.

Dr. Steven Van Scoyoc is a specialist in Periodontics and Implantology and is board-certified as a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology. His practice specializes in the conservative treatment of gum disease, including specialized interests in soft tissue reconstructive plastic surgery to aesthetically enhance the smile and dental implants that can replace single or multiple missing teeth. He uses the latest technology and science to regenerate bone in the jaws, where bone loss is caused by infection from gum disease, loss of teeth, or injury. This includes sinus bone grafting, where many patients lack sufficient bone thickness in the upper posterior jaw to place implants. He also diagnoses and treats oral pathology. Dr. Van Scoyoc’s main interests include soft-tissue and esthetic surgery, as well as implant and advanced bone reconstruction.

Dr. Van Scoyoc earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree (D.D.S.) from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He continued his education at UNC to complete a 3-year surgical residency in Periodontics, where he obtained his Master’s in Periodontics. This advanced training certified him to practice as a specialist in Periodontics and Implantology. In addition, during his residency at the University of North Carolina, he practiced general dentistry to gain perspective on how his specialty training can enhance the treatment of the general dental practitioner.
