Correction: I mistakenly wrote that the tooth in question was filled by ADC, but it was not... it was filled by my previous dentist and so is many years old, not six months. Most importantly, the update: the second opinion did not recommend another filing, and concurred with the ADC diagnosis that a crown is required. I realize getting a second opinion isn't commonplace anymore, but seemed warranted due the expense of the procedure... but of course ADC got it right! read more

I have been coming here from braces to a full time career, and have since moved 30 minutes away, but the drive is worth it for the incredibly friendly and helpful dental hygienists that make every visit tolerable. Their office is pristinely clean and the office managers in the front are on top of everything! I may have a different dentist every visit but I don't mind because they are all great. read more

I have been coming here for about 18 months. I have a fairly boring mouth in terms of dental issues. Prior to this, I was with my former dentist for a very long time; more than 20 years. I was very sad when he retired. The pros: The dental office is bright and cheery, they have the latest technology. The hygienists and front desk are extra friendly. Their reminders are helpful, website is great, billing is smooth and straightforward with my insurance. The cons: Every appointment I've had has been late in starting, late in finishing. Last time, I sat in the chair for nearly an hour while they treated other patients. This after a fairly lengthy wait in the waiting room first! My time is valuable too--makes it hard for me to schedule appointments at my own office when my 2:00 dental appointment might not even be really starting until 3:00. Also, this may bother me more than it does other people, but every time I've been there, Dr. Bennett has reprimanded the hygienists for various shortcomings in front of me; literally over my head. In a tone that my mother would have called "snotty" back in the day. It is really awkward to be sitting there while someone is scolding their staff within inches of your face. I don't know if I've just coincidentally been there on "off" days, but to me, calling out your staff on their failures in front of your customers is embarrassing and unprofessional. Overall, they seem very competent in terms of dental work. Maybe just a little fine tuning on the chairside manner ;) read more

I hadn't been to a dentist since I was living in the Islands, like, 3 years ago. So my mouth was getting kinda unclean and stinky with plaque build up. I used my dental insurance's website to find a dentist near my home that could take me pretty quickly. Enter Arvada Dental Center. Now, I'm not a nervous dental patient, so read all of this with that in mind. My first appointment was just a "get to know my mouth" kind of appointment. They took X-rays, pictures of my teeth and mouth, socket measurements, and generally got me set up as a patient so they knew what they were in for with my cleaning. I was impressed with their use of technology and the fact that they keep a pretty much paper free office. Each chair area has it's own TV that you can watch programs on while you wait for the Hygenist or the Dentist, and then when you're on your back, they use the monitors to look at your X-rays or your patient history. It's pretty nice. My cleaning had to be pretty deep, but I was never uncomfortable in the chair as I was poked and scraped. And when I had to have some fillings replaced and put in, I never felt any pain from the Novacaine injection. They worked fast and got me on my way with fillings that I can hardly tell are even there. Another great thing is that they work around your schedule. Are afternoons better for you? They'll ask and schedule your appointments for whenever you can make it. And if they have an opening earlier than your scheduled appointment, they will call and offer it up. See you in 6 months, ADC! read more

It's been just over 5 years since I was at the Dentist, and figured it was finally time to have my terrible mouth looked at again. I asked around and had heard that this place had worked with many of my coworkers, and they hadn't had any issues since having work done there, so I decided this was my best bet for getting quality work done. I called to schedule the appointment and they were very cooperative in working to find a date & time that fit with me. When I did show up, I didn't wait long, and the staff was very friendly and informative. The dental hygienist who looked at my mouth was very nice and explained to me what she was doing and why the whole time, which helped me understand the processes as a whole, and also probably put me at ease. The doctor was also very informative when he came in and looked at my teeth and gums, and really took the time to explain what condition my mouth was in. I felt like he gave me an excellent picture of my mouth, and told me areas where I could stand to improve, and some concerns of his for the future. Then the same dentist took the time to sit down and work with me to find a plan of action that would take care of everything, as well as any concerns I had. I walked out feeling very informed, and knew what my next steps were, along with costs, insurance information, and future dates. I feel alot better about my mouth now that I've got a dentist I trust to take care of it. As far as the quality of the work, I'm very satisfied with it. Never had any issues with my teeth once they were taken care of, and am now on a 6 month visit schedule which I would describe as a type of 'preventative maintenance' plan to keep from falling back into the same rut. Continued teeth cleaning, and examinations should keep me from being frustrated again in the future. read more

Hooray! I've finally found a place that my teeth can call home. It had been a couple years since I had been to a dentist. After a search in my insurance database and with some help from our wonderful yelp community, I was confident that Arvada Dental Center was going to be exactly what I was looking for. And it is! First of all, the ladies at the front desk are terrific. They made it so easy to get an appointment set up, verify my insurance, go over medical history, etc. I love that you can complete all of your new patient forms online before the appointment. Who doesn't like to save a little time? My first appointment was all about assessing the condition of my mouth, getting xrays done, etc.. They really do a thorough job. I didn't feel rushed and I was encouraged to ask any questions along the way. After missing the dentist for so long, I appreciated the fact that they educated me on the condition of my teeth, but didn't give a lecture. We went through the procedures and things that needed to be done. They set up my next appointments in order of urgency, that way I knew what needed to get done now and in the future. The waiting room and the patient rooms are very comfortable and have a nice warm feeling to them. I love the tv's in the patient rooms. It's nice to watch the morning news, ESPN or any channel you like while you get your teeth worked on. Last, but certainly not least, the dentists are so so great here. I have had my past few appointments with Dr. Pearson and have yet to meet Dr. Bennett, but I've heard great things about him as well. Dr. Pearson is super nice, gentle, informative and laid back. More than anything, I appreciated the check up calls he gave me after my icky root canal procedure. He's left me confident in knowing that I'm always going to be well taken care of at ADC. If you've been putting off the dentist, don't wait any longer! read more

This was an eye-opening experience for me. I went here after seeing the same dentist for 12 years. I have always been cavity prone so I wasn't in shock when I had a cavity. What I was in shock about was when they said I needed a crown. It was a very "used car salesman" like pitch where they had sample crowns to show, a finance person to talk to go over my insurance options, a scheduled appointment and then when I said I was going for a second opinion a call to say they magically had an opening and could get me in that afternoon. I had them send over the xrays they took to three (3) different dental offices. I have been to two of the three, the third one is next month. Those two dental offices said that I do NOT need a crown on that tooth and in fact would recommend no work on that particular tooth. The other work they recommended (the removal/replacement of a filling) these two dentists again agreed that was not needed. I went into both the 2nd and 3rd opinion offices with a look at my mouth and tell me what you think of my overall mouth. They both disagreed with the dentist from the Arvada Dental Center and they both agreed with each other. After I explained what had been said to me from Arvada Dental Center, one of the dentists said this really sounds like the work we hear coming out of Arvada Modern Dentistry. Sure enough, the dentist I saw used to work there. I wasn't sure that I had been scammed until I went to the 3rd office and heard the exact same recommendations as the 2nd office. Colorado offers a peer review board for complaints regarding quality of care and/or appropriateness of treatment. Thankfully, I didn't let them touch my mouth. If you go here, before you sign the line and let them take your teeth, I would get a 2nd, 3rd, etc. opinion, because you could save your smile for years to come. read more

Under my name, you'll see that I live in Aurora. That is not a misprint. I drive across town from southeast Aurora to way-north Arvada to go to Arvada Dental Center. They. Are. That. Good. I have been using them for years. I have never met a dentist and staff who are kinder, more compassionate, or more knowledgeable than this crew. A few highlights: --Dr. Bennett fixed my "snaggle tooth," an ill-fitting crown that threw my whole face out of whack and gave me plenty to be self-conscious about. He is an amazing cosmetic dentist! --Because the whole snaggle tooth fix was a very expensive set of procedures, he laid out a care plan and exact dollar amounts before he started, giving me time to secure the money rather than surprising me with a bill. --Did you know that dental anesthetic contains epinephrine? It's used to control bleeding. But, because it's a SHOT OF ADRENALINE, it can sometimes have systemic effects: Elevated heart rate, sweating, rapid breathing, and the urge to exit the office by going *through* the dentist if need be. That happened to me...even the attempted dramatic exit. The dentist calmly explained to me that the epi in the anesthetic was causing a systemic reaction, and that he'd let me chill out for a few minutes. When he came back, he was very gentle and deliberate and explained exactly what he was doing and what I'd feel. --I take my six-year-old daughter here. They are GREAT with kids. They don't have any of the bells and whistles normally associated with "kids" dentists, but that's okay. They don't need them. Dr. Bennett and Jamie (the wonder hygienist, and my daughter's new BFF) know how to talk to kids, how to do dental work on kids, and what a kid's mouth should look like at each stage of development (give or take a few months, because they recognize that all kids are different). I am so, so glad I found this place. read more

Look. This is the place for people who are nervous to go to the dentist. The office is warm and professional, with beverages while waiting. The front staff is personable. But my review is for Dr. Bennett and Jess, his assistant. A FRIKKIN MAZING. Not once in the couple years I have gone to him have I ever felt the shot go in, let alone any pinching, burning, or pain. Dr. Bennett does the numbing himself. He listened to me when I said I didn't do well with pain, and then found that I had a long, twisty nerve that was shallow, which is why I had never felt numb enough in other Dentists offices. He explained it to me and kept me in the loop with whatever he does. Jess is my favorite. She puts Netflix on for me when its going to be a longer procedure, and is sincerely interested in me and my family's comfort and how we are doing. Jess is efficient without being cold or distant. She is very attentive as she is assisting Dr. Bennett, and they put me at ease every time. Oh, and she is so experienced! Very competent. For crying out loud, SWITCH OVER TO THEM!!! Billing is not a nightmare, either. They walk you through things before you ever get any work done, make sure you understand, and are kind. Lastly, Dr. Bennett's (and Jess's) work is top notch. Quality every single time. Just. Go. See. Them. No brain-er. Choose a great smile with no pain! read more

Updated review. Been going here for years. In all that time I had one bad experience which they corrected. Since then, the front desk staff has been great and management is quick to rectify any wrongs. My whole family goes here including my toddler. I would recommend this dental office to friends and family. read more

My hygienist Paige is great. She's very friendly and does a wonderful job. Dr Arnold is my dentist and she's done some fillings for me. It was so quick and easy, I barely felt a thing. This is by far my favorite dentist office I've ever had. Highly recommend. It's very affordable and they always tell you up front if insurance covers procedures and if not then what they cost. read more

I have been with Doctor Bennett for over 10 years. Cannot say enough good things about him and his staff. Always attentive and considerate of the patients needs. Let's be honest, no one likes going to the dentist but if you have to (and you should) this office is the best around. Everyone I have sent to them has come back and thanked me for the recommendation. read more

Do NOT come here at any cost. They will waste your time. I waited over an hour just to find out the x ray machine wasn't working, and when I requested to get a cleaning done while I wait for them to fix it; they said this is only an exam and I have to schedule for a cleaning?! First and last time here. Again enter at your own risk read more

I was recently looking into getting a new dentist due to multiple disappointments with my previous one, when my crown broke. I call Arvada Dental and they were able to get me in the same afternoon to look it over, and the Friday to completely fix it. The most impressive thing to me is how quickly they got me back in the chair and started...less than 2 minutes! They were up front about the cost and gave a through description of what work would be done. I'm happy to say Arvada Dental will be my new "home". read more

I was looking for a new dentist after multiple dissipointments with my old one, when my crown broke. I called Arvada Dental and they got me in that day. I went back that Friday to have my crown made and replaced all in the same appointment. I was most impressed with how quickly they got started. Within one minute of walking in the door they took me back and started the numbing process right away! I have never had that quick of service. They were also great about being upfront with what my cost would be and explained the procedure throughly. I will definitely be making my new "home" at Arvada Dental. read more

I've been going to ADC for more than 5 yrs and I hope to never switch. Erica is effective and personable - she does a great job on my teeth and she's provided valuable advice over the years that I know has made a big difference. I'm pleased to meet the new Doctor (Dr.T.) and he's highly effective and I really appreciate his communication skills/style and trust his knowledge/skills. Most of the work up until now has been Dr. A and, although I trust others in the practice, when it comes to needed procedures, I wouldn't want anyone but her to tackle the job. So, all-in-all, I think these guys are the BEST. read more

Arvada Dental Center is a beautiful office. Dr. Bennett's staff are professional and kind. Especially Jessica, she made me feel calm and really took time to explain everything to me. Dr. Bennett is very thorough and has an excellent bed side manner. The two together made my experience overall awesome! I would recommend Arvada Dental Center to everyone! read more

I think overall the care and staff are good. Unfortunately I have had issues with the administration. Recently I was called a week ahead of time, to inform me that the appointment I had made four months in advance was cancelled due to a dental conference. The next available appointment is four months away. I was put on a short list in case there is a cancellation. However, 8 months in between appointments does not work within my plan. I consider the cancellation and the short notice very unprofessional. read more

This experience is what I would have expected at a dental school using students to do all the work. For free. I gave the crew a chance over a few visits, but they kept giving me reasons to walk. I finally did. If you asked me to describe my visits in one word, I couldn't do it. I have to use 2. Incompetent & uncomfortable. Nobody likes visiting the dentist. It's no secret. But it seems as if this bunch goes out of its way to make you feel a little less at home once the initial niceties are complete. They always seem more interested in their own bizarre little drama dome than where they need to be concentrating. In a dentist's office in front of patients during procedures? Really? Solid wow. Without going into my personal medical history, I'll just say I turned them loose with a couple of items and found out how bad a dental experience can be. This was my first bad one in over fifty years and boy howdy did I save up my points. I also found out how tricky a dentist can be with his billing. Maybe not illegal, but shifty. The folks up front who do payments & scheduling do good work & obviously exhibit exorbitant gobs of patience with the rest and I almost wanna tack on an extra star for them. But the ones actually working on your grill who are supposedly well-trained come across as overconfident amateurs & borderline hacks. So I'm saving that star. Pass on this one folks unless you want to see how bad dentistry gets. read more

Arvada Dental Center is the best dentist I've ever been to! Not only are their dentist knowledgeable and gentle all of their staff is also very personable and professional! Ive had everything from cleanings to crowns done and I would highly recommend Arvada Dental Center to anyone looking for a new dentist! read more

First off, I live in Boulder, which apparently holds a record number of dental offices and all with so-so reviews. I decided to come here on a friends recommendation (see Jen N.'s review) because she has had a lot of dental work done and those are the best people to get recommendations from. Bottom line: I needed a route canal.. shit. I had an exam with Dr. Roberts and he was very kind an considerate, yada yada yada. That isn't the best part. The best part is that the route canal was painless. They kept giving me updates throughout the procedure (Ie: hard parts done, its looking good... okay now its perfect). When I had to get my crown put on he REALLY took the time to make it right. I can't thank him enough for not rushing through it. Being nice is great and being considerate is even better, however, at the end of the day I need to wear this for the next 10 years+ and I feel truly comfortable that it will last that long. I have had no issues with the tooth, crown or even the small filling he put in while the crown was being made (which is a really cool process). If you're looking for a dentist that has a kind disposition, is meticulous in his work and considers your finances as important as you do, go see Dr. Roberts. Can't wait to see them next year when my benefits kick in again! read more

I have been going here for a while. K came here with bad work from another dentist, and they helped me. I bring my kids here, and they are super comfortable. I am a customer for life, and I would say ( this is the right place ) to check out. I almost had a bad experience once, Dr. Bennett jumped in and made everything right. Smooth and relaxing is how I would describe him. read more

I will never return to Arvada Dental Center. Their crew was NOT knowledgeable enough to know that wisdom teeth extractions fall under MEDICAL insurance and NOT DENTAL insurance. It is their responsibility to know this ahead of time & make sure they could accept my medial insurance before performing the actual services. I believed them when they said they would handle all the insurance paperwork. Turns out, I ended doing everything myself (spent wasted hours on this effort) because of their incompetent staff. Besides the insurance issue, the dental procedure was OK. Still, the headache I got from their staff calling me repeatedly & complaining directly to me was rude and not professional. I'm glad I don't have to deal with them again. read more

In the EMS world they have an award called the "Lifesaver Award" for saving someone's life. Dental Hygenist Shanna was going to do a routine dental cleaning on me about a week ago and before we started she checked my blood pressure. I already have high BP, but I take meds for it. She checked three times and it was high! 170/120ish. She stopped and immediately advised me to go to the ER. She even offered to drive me!!! Who does that? I left and went to Kaiser Permanently. An EKG was ordered and they said Shanna reacted perfectly and could have prevented me from having a massive stroke. I hope your reading this... Cause this is huge. My meds were changed and it's now on my Docs radar. But for Shanna following your companies procedures and then going above and way beyond, who knows. I'm an in her debt for life! Thank you, Q. Townsend read more

My wife and I have been coming here for about 9 years now and we have always appreciated the service we have received including the high level of professionalism and simple quality of the work performed. Today was a crown replacement which took a little over 2 hours. This involves a lot of steps including the needle and grinding, which most people don't enjoy the though of I am sure. Well it was painless with little discomfort! Dr. Bennett and his assistant did their work well and showed their concern about my comfort and safety from the moment I sat down. If you are interested in seeing what they are doing they gladly show you photos of before, during and after! I highly recommend the doctors and staff of this office for you dental needs! For reference my wife and i have had routine cleanings, teeth whitening, a cavity or two, my crowns and sessions with gum disease about 7 years ago (long gone). read more

Run don't walk away from this place. Call it up selling or bait and switch or whatever you want to, this place is out of control. I've got dental insurance and I'm still paying over $350.00 per hour out of pocket. They don't and can't even give you a normal crown, gotta up sell to the better one for $150.00 then they want to sell you the extended warranty for another $200.00. So I asked if I'm already paying for the better crown, why do I need the extra warranty? Plus their " better " crown is only Guaranteed for one year. Teeth cleaning? Watch out that's another story. Been going there for over 15 years and it's just getting worse. I'm done. Tired of it!! read more

Completely blew me away! Never would have I believed that a root canal could be so painless. The crown process was efficient & very high quality with their Cerec same day crown service, my wife couldn't even tell which tooth had been worked on. The staff was friendly and worked as a team (thanks Heather, Amber and Cindy) taking every measure to make me feel comfortable. Dr. Bennett definitely has the magic touch and I will surely be back the next time I need work done. read more

Let me just start with the fact that I absolute loathe going to the dentist. I live in fear of having to go. The front desk staff are very efficient in getting appointments made and are super easy to get ahold of via email. I even receive text reminders for my appointments. I have seen a few dentists here but my favorite is Dr. Arnold. She is so nice and gentle and makes scary procedures seem more relaxing. I really like Elba and a couple of the other hygienists as well. They've always been really pleasant and kind. Also...the chapstick in the front fishbowl is the best!! read more

Shana and Dr. Arnold are the best! They take the time to listen to your needs and most importantly, they get you in and out in a timely manner. I never have to wait in the waiting room for more than 5 minutes. They are a busy office, but they can always squeeze me into their schedule which is always appreciated. My fillings have been painless and easy thanks to them. The office is clean and everyone there seems to be always smiling. read more

They are the best ! Dentist and hygenist, everyyone is great ! Been several years now, whether emergency or regular visits, wonderful. Very modern facility and equipment, all done in house. read more

If I could give it no stars I definitely would. I went to this place requesting a cleaning to be done. My first visit as any other clinic were first time x-rays. When the dentist came in he began to say how they don't do cleanings on first visit to come back later and that they had seen some teeth with cavities that needed to be taken care of. I said I understand so I was dismissed and then taken into a different room where they explained to me how many cavities I had that needed to be worked on and how they needed to replace my "old" fillings. I found it surprising to hear that I had so many cavities, mainly since my hygene overall is extremely good. I've been made fun of by family for how long I take with my hygene, but I thought it to be possible taking into consideration we can also get cavities as we age. I ended up moving before I could go back so had to find a different dentist. I went to a dentist recommend by family. It turns out I have NO cavities at all. None whatsoever. I was lied by Arvada dental dentists. It's sad that dentists have to lie to make money and destroy perfect teeth, just for the sake of making money. The worst part is that since I had my health and dental insurance under my government job. They saw a pot of gold. I don't recommend this place at all. I am very disappointed that a place that gives the impression of being a professional business. And acts like they handle customers with such importance and care is full of liars that simply want to take your money for no reason and destroy your teeth for the sake of money. read more

The best dental care I have ever had! The staff is all very kind and helpful. The dentist's are all awesome! I would recommend them to anyone! read more

I had neglected to see a Dentist in a few years. I was a little anxious at first but they made me feel comfortable. They educated me about what they were doing and the process since I was a new patient. I would recommend them to a friend or family member. read more

I've been going to Arvada Dental for years. Dr. Bennett takes excellent care of you and makes sure you are comfortable. They do not recommend unnecessary treatment and their prices are fair. read more

Dr. Bennett and his staff are wonderful! When I moved to Denver, I first went to a "corporate" dental office that had multiple locations. After the dentist lectured me for an hour on the history of dentistry, they then checked my teeth and told me I had multiple small cavities. So I went back to get them filled. After I had my fillings, I had to go back multiple times to get the fillings filed down to the correct length. And ultimately, due to one filling not being filed down adequately, it cracked my tooth. No way was I going back to this office, and instead found Arvada Dental Center. Dr. Bennett identified the issue and told me what happened. Ultimately I had to get a root canal because the filling damaged my tooth. The process of the root canal, although long, was actually a seamless and a relatively painless procedure. Even getting the shot to numb my gums was not that bad. I don't know that anyone else could have done a better job. After that, I was sold and have been going back for my routine cleanings ever since. The staff and cleaning assistants are nice and very helpful. And I couldn't ask for a more professional dentist than Dr. Bennett. read more

I thought I finally found a good dentist and I turned out to be so wrong. The first two teeth cleans were fine. They told me I had a cracked tooth and should get a crown so that I wouldn't have a root canal. Prior to that I was never told that I needed one with my past dentists. After the crown, my tooth never felt quite right. Went back and they told me I needed a root canal. The whole point of getting a crown was to prevent that. They also told me I needed to replace my other crown. I had to get my mouth guard adjusted as well that never quite felt right either. They moved me back and forth between rooms. The girl who cleaned my teeth was rushing to clean my teeth then just dismissed me to another guy to add my fluoride cause she didn't have time to do. She was even rude to him. I went to another dentist to get a second opinion. Before doing that, I had to obtain my xrays which was a struggle. I had to fill out a release form and all they could do was send me a picture. They claim they have state of the art technology but a photo of a document? I had to go to postnet to print a copy, sign, and scan it. Even then I still had to reach out so that they could send it to me. Turns out I didn't need a new crown but I did have to have a root canal. They would've made me get another crown for nothing. Something still feels off and I might need to see a specialist. Prior to all of this, I didn't have any issues for over 10 years. I wish I had gotten a second opinion before dealing with all of this. read more

I was uncomfortable with this office and switched to another dentist after one round of exam and treatment. Dr. Bennett delegates dental work to his staff, including Novocain injections (for fillings) by the hygienist and crown impressions by the dental assistant. He did not even remain in the office to supervise the crown impression. Also, more than once, Dr. Bennett spoke in a disrespectful and condescending way to his dental assistant while working on me; that tension was uncomfortable and disconcerting for me. Also, they require a confirmation from the patient a few days before the appointment to diligently avoid dead time in the office; but then they are not regularly on time, so the patient's time is wasted. read more

Love this practice. The front desk girls are great, the assistants are always very nice, office is clean as well. I personally prefer to see Dr. Roberts, however I have no actually reason for that, just a preference, I would see either dentist and have referred several people here. read more

I'm not sure if the people on here giving one star to Arvada dental center are going to the same place that I have. I recently moved to Denver and was looking for a new dentist. I've been here a handful of times already and the staff is incredibly warm and courteous. The front desk staff always greet me with a smile. The entire process is efficient, timely and not rushed. Heather was my hygienist and she made me feel comfortable and at ease. Dr. Woody is thorough, he walked me through my entire dental exam, and answered any questions I had. The staff was also able to accommodate me with last minute openings in their schedule and wait times were not too bad to begin with. I highly recommend Arvada Dental Center to anyone looking for a new dentist! read more

I could not possibly say enough wonderful things about by experience here. I needed a new dentist, and chose Arvada Dental Center based on their stellar internet reviews, and all I can say is that they more than lived up to my expectations. From the very first person I spoke with on the phone when I called to make my appointment all the way down the line, everyone was incredible. Dr. Roberts and the rest of the staff worked to keep me comfortable and informed during my procedure and I felt incredibly cared for and about. While discussing a treatment plan as well as my finances, they were professional, courteous, non-judgmental, and I could tell just how much they care about their job and their patients. I never thought I'd say I'm looking forward to going back to the dentist, but they are just that wonderful. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. read more
