Is this for me?
Probably, if any of these sound familiar:

- Your gums bleed when you brush or floss
- You want to catch problems while they’re small and cheap
- You’re new to Denver and need a dental home
Step by step
What actually happens
A proper checkup is the cheapest dentistry there is. We clean gently with warm water and an ultrasonic scaler, screen for cavities, gum disease and oral cancer, and show you everything we see on screen so you understand your own mouth.

Honest answer
Does it hurt?
Ouch-o-meter: 1/5Barely notice it
Most people barely notice it. If your gums are sensitive we use a numbing gel and a slower pace, and you can pause any time with a raised hand.
Headphones, blankets and a pause signal at every visit.
No surprise bills
What will it cost?
Covered at 100% by most PPO plans. Without insurance, the Smile Club covers two cleanings and exams a year for $29/month.

Things people ask us
How often do I really need a cleaning?
Every six months for most people. If you’re prone to gum disease we may suggest every three or four months, and we’ll explain why.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Our digital X-rays use a tiny dose, roughly what you get from a short flight. We only take them when they add information.
