The best dental office/dentist in Denver/Colorado. Wonderful staff. Always so friendly and kind. Very very gentle for my sensitive teeth. Affordable and work with approving your insurance. Definitely the best customer service ever!! Thank you all so much!!

I wanted to get back here to amend my first review based how how professionally they reached out after my first, less than stellar, experience. I was able to schedule a follow-up visit with Dr. Slota and was impressed with the entire experience. Perhaps my first interaction could be best described as a one-off. The follow-up was great, informative and gave me great confidence that I have finally found the right dentist. I would 100% recommend this office to anyone searching for a home for their dental care. Great staff that really puts you at ease!

Denver Smiles is HANDS DOWN the best dentist office I’ve ever been to! Dr. Slota is so kind, knowledgeable, and he remembers his different patients and everyone in the office is friendly and helpful. I can’t recommend them enough!

Fist visit and it was very positive. Had a very deep cleaning since I did not during Covid. It wasnt bad! My teeth feel great and I will be going back.

I have been patient of Dr. Slotas for many years. I am continually impressed by the sincerity and professionalism of all of the staff. Dr. Slota is very good at what he does, and if he doesnt spend a lot of time with you during your appointment, take it as a good sign! All of the hygienists Ive had over the years are very knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend this wonderful practice!

The office staff here are amazing! But Dr. Slotas bedside manner is not very good. I feel like everytime I say something hurts slightly he jumps to a conclusion of a pricey fix and he doesnt explain things very well. And when you try to ask follow up questions, he makes you feel pretty dumb. I would say the dental work is okay here and the office staff make up for the Dentist.

The support staff was very nice and my hygienist was super. My appointment was with Dr. Slota. Unfortunately I never saw him and only had a cursory visit after my cleaning with a young lady who could use some training in patient relations. It was such an unpleasant and brief interaction that I was left questioning the entire experience. As a new patient, one would expect to be treated better than an afterthought.

Absolutely recommend. Ive had a wisdom tooth extraction and it was actually relaxing! The staff are outstanding, very professional and really want to treat their patients right. Im glad I switched to Denver Smiles after less than great experiences at another clinic across town.

So far I am really happy with my experience at Denver Smiles. Dr. Slota and all of the wonderful staff have made sure I was well informed and felt comfortable. They are understanding and work with you if you have a lot of anxiety over going to the dentist. Well, I have anxiety in general so you can imagine how hard it was to even start going to the dentist again. I was going somewhere else and got a referral for wisdom teeth surgery but they did *not* take my insurance. I scrambled looking for a place nearby that would and am grateful to have found Denver Smiles. I am currently recovering from my 4 wisdom teeth removed and will get my mouth looked at again soon to check up on how it is healing. I felt well informed on all the steps and different prescriptions Id be taking beforehand. I also really appreciate the transparency and breakdown of costs. It is a cozy little place and Im actually *not* terrified going back lol. They offered to do all the dental work I need in the future, well I think I will keep coming back here :)

I considerably recommend Denver Smiles for a dental office! They are welcoming and very tight knit. Dr. Slota is amazing! If you’re looking for ortho work I definitely absolutely recommend! They do a fabulous job with ortho!

When I first started going, instead of getting a complete and thorough exam the first time, and give me a complete evaluation or all the dental work they recommended, they did it in piece meal-- finding a another problem each time I went in to get worked on.My last time, I had to go in to have a broken crown replaced. They did so without me having to pay for the replacement crown, which is great. However, they let the anesthesia ware off during the procedure, making my visit one of the most painfully dental experiences I ever had. Had I know it was going to be that painful, I would have just lived with the cracked crown.

I went for an ortho consultation and felt that Dr Slota and his team care about each patient and their end result. There was zero pressure, just kindness, compassion and information.While I won’t be a patient at their practice due to location and plan needs, I would recommend them to anyone.

Went in today to get my wisdom molar extracted and a filling. I was super pleased with the customer service. I was really nervous when it came down to the extraction and the dental assistant could notice it. She told me I could grab her hand if I needed to and that slightest gesture gave me so much comfort during the whole time the Dr was extracting my wisdom molar. I really appreciate how caring she was throughout the whole procedure. She explained everything to me and the doctor was amazing too letting me know I was ok and we were almost done. Love this place!!! Thank you for your amazing staff!!

Really great experience with Dr. Slota and staff! Jess is a great hygienist and made the cleaning process painless and fun. Rhonda made my mold for my retainer and that process was also quick, easy, and painless. I definitely recommend this dentist because they are honest and care about their patients.

Have you heard all of those horror stories from friends or family about root canals being the worst thing on the planet? Well, they obviously didnt get to talk to Heather at the front desk of Denver Smiles, and then also get a root canal from Dr. Slota.It was like I slipped into an ethereal state of utter bliss for 2 hours while he gently, calmly, and collectedly removed all the nerves from my not three, but four nerve canals in my number 19 molar. And that was without anesthesia.I was scared at first. I once watched an episode of Doug (if you know you know, if you dont, Google Dougs Dental Disaster and thank me later) where protagonist Doug Funny has to get a filling in his tooth. Doug is scared of the dentist and the episode bounces between his nightmare of a dentist, Dr. Decay, and the reality that he needs to get a cavity filled.That reference has nothing to do with my experience, but its important you know that Ive seen and can clearly recall shows from my childhood. I have a great memory, which is why I can recall my own experience so well.I did have a little bit of fear once it started, though. That drill gets going and suddenly your entire life flashes before your eyes. Every milk-soaked sugar blasted breakfast cereal; every jawbreaker and jolly rancher won by tickets in the arcade; every cold soda; and every martini olive you didnt know actually had a pit in it suddenly become so menial and useless, and all that matters is surviving this ordeal just to be able to once again eat something without shocking pain in your jaw. Death by root canal. The first of its kind. Take me now.But actually what I got was a few painless hours of delightful conversation and some drilling on my teeth. Not the worst way to spend a Friday morning in light of how this year has gone (pandemic, election, general civil unrest, climate crisis) so I really cant complain.Dr. Slota gets five stars. The whole staff gets five stars. Best root canal and crown Ive ever had. 10/10 would recommend to anyone needing a root canal, or simply interested in experiencing one for the first time. (I doubt the staff at Denver Smiles will perform a root canal on you just because you want one, but if you happen to crack a tooth on an olive pit while sipping cocktails on a patio, just dont do anything about it for a few months and youll earn the right to get your own root canal and you can say I sent you.)Thanks to whole staff for laughing at my jokes when they didnt have to, and thanks for letting me take home my temporary crown. Best Christmas ornament Ill own.

I highly recommend this place. Dr. Slota and his staff are very friendly and professional. Very satisfied with my experience.

Ive had great experiences here twice now, so I feel I can write a review. Wonderful practice. I have Dental anxiety anyway, so I very much appreciated when time was taken to talk to me about the procedure, including why it needed to be done, my teeth structure, and good practices moving forward. So much care and concern - exactly what I was looking for! Glad I came to this practice.

I brought it my almost 4 year old to the dentist for the first time to do his leaning, and was really worried. It went great. Rhonda is amazing and put my son at ease, talking to him the entire time, and even letting my older daughter hold some of the instruments to get her engaged as well. Really recommend this practice!

Great service. Always. Thank you.

UPDATE: just went for my second visit after six months and just as good the second time around. Marina is the best oral hygienist Ive every had perform a checkup.ORIGINAL POST:I switched dentists to find someone closer to me - and ended up being very happy I did! From the front desk personnel to the dental hygienist to the dentist himself, it was a terrific experience. Not only did they go out of their way to make things easy and understandable, but made a lot of useful comments that Id never heard before at a dentists office.Ill be going back every six months (hopefully not more often!).

This has literally been my favorite dentist office I’ve ever been to. The dental hygienist that worked at with me, I can’t remember her name but she’s from Russia, was absolutely amazing. She did a really great job of explaining everything to me but also making really interesting conversation with me at the same time. She told me what work was necessary and what wouldn’t be necessary and how I could prevent certain procedures by making sure to take preventative actions. She also told me she actually used to be a dentist back in Russia but now is a dental hygienist here in America so you really get that level of expertise with her. I also met with the dentist and he was really great at explaining things to me as well and I felt very comfortable with him. I would highly recommend this office to anyone. Plus it’s in a great little quiet spot in Lakewood only 10 minutes or so outside of Central Denver.

Thank you for your care, Marquette graduate! My wife, also a Marquette dental graduate, has recently passed away. She would be proud of your crew and the service you provide.

Marina is a phenomenal dentist! I truly appreciated how she walked me through every step, x-ray, and photo. Her personality made me feel completely comfortable while she worked on my teeth. She is a delight.

My dental practice for almost my entire adult life (since early 1980s to now, 2019). Always a great experience. Dr. Slota and staff are always knowledgeable, friendly and supportive, at front desk as well as in the dental chair (and special hat tip to Marina!)

This is the best dentist office I’ve ever experienced. Everyone is so kind and caring and make me feel like they remember me personally each time I come in. I love it here!

Marina does such a great job helping me take care of my teeth and gums. I have never worked with a hygienist that is so dedicated and thorough.

Great dentist. He is knowledgeable, explains what he is doing when asked and doesn’t do unnecessary extra work ..

My son and I just recently started seeing Dr. Slota and his Staff. They are great and extremely patient with us. I have a magnitude of work needed and are helpful in making decisions. Much better than our previous dentist!

As much as you can love going to the dentist! Dr. Slota is wonderful and personable. Work was all done very quickly and pain free. Office staff is friendly and warm as well. Thank you Dr. Slota for taking such great care of me today!

Dr.Slota has proven to be a consistently excellent dentist; for me, an unlikely prospect considering the magnitude of work needed when we I first saw him for an emergency, 10 years ago. The experience has been made far better by his professionalism, and the courteous and personal treatment from his entire team. I feel my dental health is better than its ever been, and his non-judgemental but supporting staff were critical to arriving at this point, protecting the high quality dentistry and surgeries hes doing. They gently got me to be more serious about taking care of me teeth. He stands behind his work, and knowing him has made it possible for me to smile with my mouth open.

Very pleased with this office! I was in a bicycle accident and Dr. Slota helped me with the aftermath and kept me reassured. Heather is always so helpful with insurance and payment questions. I will go here as long as Im in Colorado.

We have always loved going to see Dr. Slota and his staff. Heather at the front desk is knowledgeable about our insurance benefits and we feel like she cares about us as a family. Its always nice to visit with all the girls in the office.

Dr Slota Is Awesome❣️Ive Been A Patient Since 1996

The entire staff is just amazing here! I found Dr. Slotas on Yelp. They offer in house insurance, which has helped me immensely. I love Jesse...she is so incredibly knowledgeable and knows exactly how to articulate that without making me feel intimidated. I truly look forward to my cleanings and appointments here.

Dr. Slota is a true master of his craft and very pleasant to talk to.

This place is awesome, the staff is very kind and professional while also very efficient. I dont even mind going to the dentist anymore!

Great decor, amazing staff, prompt service and unique atmosphere. Ill definitely be returning here if my teeth suffer anymore misfortune. Found my Colorado dentists.

Im new to the office. This was my second visit for a deep cleaning. Jessie was so genital and patient with me. If you are nervous about the dentist they will put you at ease.

Incredibly welcoming, professional and thorough. Im excited to be a new patient here and move all of my dental care to Denver Smiles.

I have been a patient of Dr. Slota for many years. He and his staff have provided top-notch services. They have rescued me from several painful toothaches and left me feeling like new. This a very genuine office with great people providing care. Many thanks to Dr. Slota, Heather, Marina, Rhonda, et al. for taking care of me and my family.

I always have an excellent experience here. Im able to get in quickly if theres an emergency, and all options are discussed. The staff is fantastic, and Dr. Slota truly cares for the health of my mouth.

Fantastic! I have been a patient for over 2 decades. Dr. Slota is great, he has a Great staff, and great office.They have convenient hours and very accommodating.

I hadn’t been to the dentist for about 10 years so I was very nervous but Dr. Slota and his staff made it a wonderful experience.I’ve worked in healthcare admin for several years and I know that support staff can make or break a patient’s experience so I want to highlight how amazing the staff in this office is.Marina (the hygienist) is so kind and knowledgeable, after my cleaning I left feeling like I had the information and tools to learn how to better care for my teeth. Heather (the office manager) made sure that I understood my insurance coverage and costs for everything I needed done BEFORE we started any work. Christina and Nyah made sure I understood everything and was comfortable before my root canal. I really appreciated how knowledgeable everyone was about the equipment and processes used in the office.Although, root canals are never fun Dr. Slota and Nyah made sure I was okay throughout the procedure and informed me what what happening throughout the root canal.Dr. Slota is a kind man with lots of experience and made me feel at ease. Even though the office was busy I felt like I had his full attention and care.I’m looking forward to continuing my care at Denver Smiles to get my teeth in good shape (they were not great after 10 years of neglect). On my way out of the office I scheduled my fiancé for an appointment as well and would recommend them to anyone!

Awesome - Everyone very friendly here. Great dental work received. Highly recommended.

I am a new patient at this office. The hygienist that cleaned my teeth was very thorough - more so than Ive ever experienced. She explained many details about my teeth and my dental implant that I was not aware of. Dr. Slota was very down-to-earth and friendly. He asked my goals and expectations for my teeth, which I very much appreciated. The office manager was also very friendly. I highly recommend this dental office.I would like to add, now that I have been to this office a number of times, that I am very happy to learn that Dr. Slota also does implants, and as I am in the beginning stages of this, he has been very, very, on top of my extraction and healing. Heather, at the front desk, makes all of Dr. Slotas patients feel welcome, respected, and at ease.- Carla Oglesby

I have been going to Dr. Slota for many years, and would recommend him to anyone who wants the best. He is competent, knowledgeable and personable. I trust him completely with my complicated dental issues.Over the holiday weekend, I broke a veneer. I called the office and left a message for Heather. Heather called me back on Monday morning and was able to get me in immediately. Rhonda and Dr. Slota not only addressed the problem, but agreed with me that we replace the broken veneer and three others that had shifted to improve my smile. I was delighted to walk out with four new temporary crowns. Thank you all for your kindness, professionalism, and immediate repair for an alarming issue. I continue to trust my dental health to Dr. Slota and his magnificent team!

Best experience ever. Good luck finding anyone better.

I had not been to the dentist for a cleaning in a few years so I figured I better get a checkup. Turns out I needed to get a few small fillings, so I am glad I decided to get my teeth cleaned. I came in for the fillings two weeks later and I was out in about 30 minutes. I must commend Dr. Slota on his ability to administer local anesthetic with very minimal discomfort. Hes a pro! Had no discomfort at all during the procedure and like I mentioned earlier I was out of the chair in no time at all. I would recommend Dr. Slota to anyone who needs dental work.

I have been seeing Dr Slota for almost 10 years with a TMJ issue. He has made a major improvement to my life and helped me like no other with his knowledge and time. I highly recommend him and his practice to everyone. Dr Slota and his team are the best in business. I will continue to be a patient here and would encourage those looking for a dentist to come here. Friendly, Knowledgeable, Accommodating and Professional!

Everyone was very kind and welcoming. I will be going back!

Dr. Slota was warm, informative as was his staff. I definitely recommend.

Great environment all the staff are always warm and welcoming!

Dr. Slotas dental work is outstanding. I only trust my teeth to him.

The staff is wonderful and I was treated promptly, thank you!

Wonderful staff and wonderful care!

Professional and friendly staff.

Very friendly
