Question 1

Are new patients welcome?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You’ll be greeted by a friendly team who take a sincere interest in you and treat you like family. New patients are always welcome, and we invite you to join our family practice.

Question 2

Do you accept dental insurance?

Accepted Answer

We file insurance for you and offer patient financing. Flexible financing is available, and we accept all major credit cards.

Question 3

What should I do if I have a toothache or urgent dental problem?

Accepted Answer

Contact our office right away if you have severe pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swollen gums, or pain when biting. Signs like these can point to an infected tooth that needs prompt care. Call (720) 815-4733 to schedule as soon as possible.

Question 4

How often should I have a dental check-up?

Accepted Answer

We recommend a dental cleaning and comprehensive exam at least every six months. Regular check-ups help catch small issues early and protect your oral and overall health.

Question 5

How long does a comprehensive dental exam take?

Accepted Answer

A comprehensive dental exam typically takes about 60 to 90 minutes. That allows your dentist to evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, existing dental work, and overall oral health, including any necessary imaging and a professional cleaning.

Question 6

I haven’t been to the dentist in a while — can I still come in?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Whether you’re due or overdue for an exam, our team welcomes you without judgment. A check-up helps catch issues early and gets you back on track toward a healthy smile.

Question 7

What are same-day CEREC crowns?

Accepted Answer

CEREC lets us scan, design, and mill a custom porcelain crown in the office — often in a single visit. That means no messy impressions, no temporary crown, and no week-long wait while a lab fabricates your restoration.

Question 8

How do you help patients who feel nervous at the dentist?

Accepted Answer

Laser dentistry is quieter and more comfortable than traditional drills — a strong option when sounds or past experiences trigger anxiety. We also offer DentalVibe, a gentle vibration device that helps many patients barely feel the injection. Our office is designed to feel calm and welcoming from the moment you arrive.

Question 12

Is 3D dental imaging safe?

Accepted Answer

Our Orthophos XG 3D cone-beam scanner lets us customize the imaging volume, dose, and quality for each patient — supporting safety by controlling radiation exposure while capturing clear, detailed images for precise diagnosis and treatment planning.

Question 13

How does laser dentistry help anxious patients?

Accepted Answer

Laser dentistry is quieter than a drill, eliminating whines, heat, and vibration that trigger dental anxiety for many people. Treatments are comfortable and minimally invasive, so complex procedures can be faster and simpler.

Question 14

Can I really get a crown in one visit?

Accepted Answer

With CEREC, many patients leave the same day with a fully restored tooth. A traditional crown often requires at least two visits and about a week of waiting; same-day crowns are designed and milled right in our Longmont office.

Question 15

What technology will I see at your office?

Accepted Answer

Our Longmont clinic features Orthophos XG 3D imaging, the Fotona LightWalker laser, same-day CEREC crowns, and DentalVibe comfort injections — advanced tools chosen to support precise care and a comfortable visit.

Question 16

What is the atmosphere like?

Accepted Answer

From the waiting area to the treatment rooms, we’ve created a warm, welcoming space where you’ll feel valued and respected. Our team focuses on personalized care so every visit is as pleasant as possible.

Question 17

Why choose a family dental practice?

Accepted Answer

A father-and-son team working side by side means consistent standards, shared values, and dentists with a personal stake in the community they grew up in. You’ll be treated like family — not a number on a schedule.

Question 18

How can I share feedback after my visit?

Accepted Answer

We appreciate hearing from our patients. After your appointment, you can leave a review on our Google Business Profile so other Longmont families can learn about your experience.
