This is the best dentist I've ever been to Dr Bell extracted my tooth and it was the smoothest extraction I've ever had.

I was a NEW patient with a dental emergency. I was able to be seen the same day which was phenomenal. Dr. Faye and Katie were FANTASTIC...

I had an infection, and had to go. I got so lucky finding this place! Dr. Bell was the first to see me, and set the tone for how kind and caring they are here.

Dr. Dinkel helped me with my fear. She told me exactly what I needed, what I didn’t need, and what to recommend for the future. I have never had a doctor make me feel more comfortable.

Dr. Fay and her assistant Shania kept the great vibes (and laughs) coming! I have now found a dental home. Something truly needed when getting an abscessed tooth extracted!

Dr. Dinkel is amazing! This is the best dental office in Denver. She genuinely cares and does a thorough examination on your teeth.
