FAQs
Where is South Metro Dentistry located?
The office is at 6950 S Holly Cir STE 202, Centennial, CO 80112. You can reach the team at (303) 770-2252 with scheduling questions or for directions.

The office is open Monday 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM, Tuesday through Thursday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Friday 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The office is closed Saturday and Sunday.
What should I expect at my first visit?
Your first visit is all about your comfort, your happiness, and your health. The team reviews your dental and medical history forms and takes X-rays of your teeth and mouth, then the doctor meets with you to discuss your X-rays, help you create your own individual treatment plan, and answer your questions. At your next visit a hygienist cleans and polishes your teeth and checks for cavities or early signs of decay or gingivitis. Bring your completed patient information form and your insurance card, and plan for an appointment lasting between 45 and 90 minutes.
Do you handle dental emergencies?
Yes. If you experience a dental emergency, call the practice as soon as possible. If you need immediate attention after hours, call the emergency phone number and an on-call staff member will help you. Common dental emergencies the office treats include a broken or cracked tooth, a broken jaw, a permanent tooth knocked out, an object caught between teeth, and a severe toothache. If you cannot reach the office during an emergency, dial 911.
What sedation options do you offer?
Sedation dentistry is offered for patients with fear or anxiety about the dentist, patients who have a hard time sitting still for long periods, and patients who have a hard time getting and staying numb from anesthetics. Nitrous oxide inhalation, also known as laughing gas, is the most frequently used method for easing mild to moderate anxiety and recovery is quick. Oral sedation uses a prescription pill taken about an hour before your appointment. Contact the practice to schedule a consultation and find out which method may be right for you.
How do you handle insurance and payment?
The cost of your treatment varies depending on your individual needs and treatment plan, and the team discusses the cost and each of your available payment options with you before you begin. The practice accepts most major credit cards and insurance plans, and office staff are always available to help you with insurance claims and paperwork. Payment plans and financing options are available, so ask the office about them.
What cosmetic treatments do you offer?
South Metro Dentistry offers cosmetic dentistry including porcelain veneers, bonding, teeth whitening with Opalescence, Invisalign, cosmetic enhancements, smile restoration, and full-mouth reconstruction. The practice also promotes a Signature Smile Makeover, where the goal is to increase the longevity of the teeth while renewing your smile so your teeth look and function at their best.
How often should I come in for a checkup?
The American Dental Association recommends visiting your dentist every six months for regular checkups and routine teeth cleanings to keep your teeth and gums healthy. A regular exam at South Metro Dentistry takes about 45 minutes and includes a detailed cleaning where your teeth are cleaned, polished, and rinsed to remove tartar and plaque. Regular exams are offered by appointment only.
