Cherry Creek Pediatric Dentistry Prof. LLC

We started taking our daughter here when she was 3 after recommendations. She had poor enamel and as a result very weak molars. Dr. Lisa tried to be gentle with her treatments (using resin) at first but her teeth got worse and worse because she had very little enamel to bond the molar together. Instead of really taking care of the problem, they continued to use resin as a band-​aid. As a result, her teeth decayed. Several of her primary molars needed extensive work — root canals and teeth pulled because they essentially died. Many things were missed on x-​rays. Resin was applied to teeth over bacteria (teeth not cleaned beforehand). In my daughters case, there was a lot of neglicence. We went to cleanings every 6 months and many of her issues were not addressed appropriately. It is sad that she had to go through all of this. I know it was a tough situation but it was never handled properly and many things could have been prevented.

I really love this practice. Many friends recommended it to us, so we tried it out with our 2 year old daughter. The experience was so wonderful from the minute we walked in the door. The waiting room is super kid-​friendly with toys, books, and things to climb on. The hygienist who took us back to get started was so kind and patient. They have a little sink station where they first have your child brush their teeth, and then they get to keep their new toothbrush. Once in the dental chair, she introduced our daughter to all of the tools in a way that was super fun and NOT scary.
We truly thought that there would be no way our daughter would let them do anything in her mouth, and then the next thing we knew they were singing songs and cleaning her teeth. Dr. Lisa Carlson-​Marks is the dentist we saw on this visit, and she was also so kind and had a very fun way of looking at our daughter’s mouth /​teeth. They spent so much time talking to us, and we had tons of questions and never felt rushed.
Only days after this appointment, our daughter fell and bit a chunk out of the inside of her lip. We called the office on a Saturday (as they had told us we could do in an emergency), and the on call dentist had us text her a picture of the injury. She called back immediately after reviewing the image and assured us we were OK to let it heal on its own.
I was so grateful to already have a dentist that we could call and to have one we can trust moving forward. This place is the best!

Our kids have been with Dr. Dave and his staff since they were toddlers. Two of them are now in high school and still love him. Finding a good pediatric dentist was high on our list since my husband was traumatized as a child ;) All I can say is they’re great!

I loved everything about this dentist office. I began taking my 14 year old and my 2 year old there in January 2013. Right away I could tell that these people care about children and know how to best serve them. My 14 year old has always had excellent teeth and never had any issues, but my 2 year old had never been to the dentist before and I was afraid that he would be scared (like mommy) or it would be a traumatic for him. Dr Dave was wonderful! We were allowed to come back and watch big sisters cleaning so that he wasn’t afraid to come back himself. When it was his turn, Dr Dave made it fun and easy to check out his teeth and afterward he got to pick out a toy! I am so happy that I found this gem, now maybe my children won’t live with the fear of the dentist that I have.
