I seldom take the time to write reviews, especially for businesses where quality of care should already be a given. That understood, Dr. Wolff, the associate hygienist, and the front office staff at Boulder Dental Center are each--individually and collectively--outstanding in their skills and specialties. Their exceptional teamwork is clearly honed and genuinely collaborative, producing a level of care that exceeds expectations. This seamless coordination enhances every aspect of treatment provided by Dr. Wolff and the hygienist (whose name I will not include here without permission). In short, my dental care yesterday at Boulder Dental Center-Arapahoe Ave. exceeded above and beyond "Going the Extra Mile". Along with the scheduled procedure, Dr. Wolff also repaired an old dental issue that had been performed years ago by another dentist. Dr. Wolff even offered an apology for what both the hygienist and I understood to be a classic "right place, wrong time" situation--fortunately one that worked entirely in my favor. [By analogy, like having a cardiologist nearby at the exact moment an arrhythmia occurs.] Highly recommended. read more

Do not use this dental practice, please do more research and find a more reputable and skilled dentist for yourself and your family. Do not use any Boulder Dental Center locations as you will spend your time and money and deeply regret your decision. I've went through 5 years of dental treatments with this practice at all three of their locations with 5 different dentists and they've ruined my dental health, wasting my time and money. Now forcing me to take legal actions against this business. This dentist does not care about you as a patient and they will drop you like a fly if they can't make money off of you even though you paid for the whole treatment upfront. They will pass you on to different dentists at their different locations and pass on their responsibilities from one location to another. Your dental care is extremely important. Do not trust this careless dental practice with your money, time and your health. read more

0/5 stars. I strongly recommend avoiding any of the locations within Boulder Dental Center -- Foothills, Canyon, Arapahoe, which are owned by Dr. Danny Abboud. I've seen Dr. John Feeley at Foothills several times, and every visit has led to new problems. I've had two fillings come out multiple times over the last four weeks, which he blamed on the practice's material. Each time the enamel has been exposed and I've been unable to chew on my right side for weeks at a time, when they can finally get me into the office. I also had a small chip on my front tooth, which has been bonded twice -- the first time he did a bond just on the bottom, which broke, and the second visit he suggested a crown, which is crazy for what was once a small chip. I asked him to bond the whole tooth instead, which he did, while making the tooth incredibly short compared to the other front tooth, and with a new chip in the middle. I spoke to the office manager to try and see someone else, as this has been 4-5 visits, but she said Dr. Danny Abboud would not take an appointment with me as it's his policy for the patient to only see the dentist who did the previous work. This feels unfair, inflexible, and devoid of human decency, and I will not be returning -- not only for the repeated failures of their work, but the complete lack of accountability across the board. Run, don't walk, away from this practice. read more

My husband and I both love Dr. McGregor. He was very attentive and kind to me when I came in during my last pregnancy, which I really appreciated. I dont write many reviews, but I really recommend him. read more

This is the worst dentist in the entire state of Colorado and potentially the country. They are extremely disrespectful of time, especially Dr. David Perrault- Lévesque who consistently chooses not to show up to his appointments, often accompanied by extremely unprofessional excuses such as "oversleeping", "staying up too late the night before", etc. Not only is this behavior unacceptable for any professional, it simply should not be allowed in any medical field. The office itself consistently has issues with machines breaking, leading to appointment times taking upwards of 4 to 5 hours. The dentists here (they should hardly be called doctors), consistently give mixed opinions and do not advocate for their patient's best interests. This office should be avoided at all costs, and Dr. Perrault- Lévesque should be fired immediately. read more

Do NOT go here. FYI I'm posting this anonymously to protect myself but this story is 100% true. I'm honestly not sure where to begin. This place used to be good when Dr. Timothy was there. He was honest and actually seemed to care about patients. But recently? It's gone downhill fast. It feels like they don't care about patient care anymore. They just want your money, at all costs. Here's what happened to me: I made an appointment because one of my wisdom teeth was starting to hurt. I wanted to get it checked out, make sure everything was okay. I can't remember the doctor's name, but she took a quick look and immediately said it needs to come out ASAP. Honestly, the pain wasn't even that bad, but the way she kept talking made me super anxious. She kept saying if I left and the pain got worse, I wouldn't be able to come back anytime soon. She made it sound like it was now or never. I told her I'd prefer to wait until the following week because my mom would be in town, since I was alone and this was unexpected. She straight-up said no, that no one would do it then, and rattled off a bunch of excuses. I felt cornered and alone. She just shrugged and told me to wait in the lobby. I was skeptical, but she told me I'd be fine to drive after getting nitrous. "People do it all the time," she said. I should've trusted my gut, but I didn't. They numbed me, gave me nitrous, and within 10 minutes, it was done. Less than 5 minutes later, a nurse came in, handed me a pamphlet, and said I should head out. She told me to take the gauze out after 20 minutes and said I'd be fine. I went to Walgreens for my meds, and while waiting, my mouth started bleeding uncontrollably. I had to stay in the bathroom until my name was called. I was woozy, nervous, and bleeding--but I just wanted to get home. Once I got home (still alone), the bleeding continued for 2-3 hours, and I couldn't leave home. I didn't grab extra gauze at Walgreens because I was out of it and just trying to follow their instructions. Eventually, I had to call a coworker to bring me gauze. Only after that did the bleeding finally stop. They called me the next day to check in. I told them everything that happened, and the person just said "okay" and hung up. But here's the real kicker: they overcharged me for the procedure and lied to me and the insurance about it. They admitted they didn't include everything in the insurance claim because, in their words, "we knew insurance wouldn't cover it." That's basically fraud. I filed a report with my insurance company, and they've tried calling the office five or six times. Either no one picks up, or they hang up. Do NOT trust this place. They just want your money. That's it. I've talked to others about this and the reaction was the same: "Yeah, I've never heard anything good about that place." I will never go back. read more

This place used to be great and has gone extremely downhill. Lack of communication amongst the offices, amongst the dentists, really rude staff, especially April at Arapahoe. Stay far away from this place. read more

My dear friend had a root canal done here. I actually went in to make an appointment but left after seeing the way the office manager treated people who were just asking simple questions. Come to find out, I am glad I decided to leave. My friend had a problem with their procedure and treatment was refused. Basically wanting more money to fix what they did poorly. It seems these days that care and proper care at that is EXTRA! Thank goodness she found a caring Dentist that treated her with care and oddly enough at no charge as it proves there are still those compassionate Doctors out there. As a consumer looking out for others I would certainly look elsewhere for Dental care. read more

The best thing was the way Boulder Dental dealt with an awkwardly placed cavity on a tooth far in the back of my mouth. Dr. Tran filled it quickly, with no discomfort to me, and now it's very smooth. I'm very pleased with it and would use this dentist again. In the office, I was a bit discomfited by the use of "medical assistants." who were not trained as dental hygienists. I was pleased that Dr Tran took over most of the cleaning. The front desk were helpful, although they did not volunteer that they added a service charge to credit card payments. I had to ask to discover this fact. read more

Do not go to this dental office! Multiple issues!! First, you will not get accurate estimation of what you will pay, which is new to me. Wherever else I've been they've known down to the penny what I would have to pay. They don't get back to you when you call them to talk about a problem. They tell you a manager's gonna call back, but you don't hear back, or when you talk to the manager, they tell you it's gonna be taken care of and then surprise, surprise three months later you find out it wasn't. This last problem I've been trying to get solved for over a year and in the end they didn't do anything to fix their mistake. When you realize an error has been made on their part of your billing, they don't correct it. On top of that I had Invisalign done and after it was completed and I was still wearing my retainer I had another dentist of theirs tell me that basically my teeth shouldn't be aligned that way and told me I needed $4000 worth of veneers put on my teeth so that my teeth didn't touch that way, even though that's what the orthodontist did to my teeth!! This was after I was hit with a surprise bill after my Invisalign was already completed because they submitted a second portion to insurance long after my Invisalign was completed. I already had my retainer on. I had jumped down in insurance levels after I called the office to make sure that it was completed so that I could safely go down and was told that it was all done and I could go down. To remind you this is already after my Invisalign is done. It's off. I've been wearing retainer for at least 3 to 4 months by this point. There should be no further billing, I've completed the service. and basically they just say oh well it's your responsibility and they don't even try to work with you or at least cover half of it. It was their mistake. I would never go there again and I will definitely let everybody I know to stay far away, because this isn't the first time that I've gone in for an expensive procedure that they didn't tell me insurance was not going to cover. Their dentists also don't know who you are, and you get a new one every time you're in the office. The last dentist I saw didn't even realize that I had had Invisalign that I had in that office!!! He thought my teeth were that way because I ground them down while i was sleeping. Do not trust them. I have moved a lot, and I can tell you that there are far superior dental clinics out there. read more

Was billed $100s for a service I didn't need but they said was covered so well covered by insurance and I was so lucky to only have to pay $100 and now they're not honoring their mistake or improper billing codes and threatening me with collections, WOW!!! DISHONEST and shady service, these were the absolute WORST GUARDS EVER! they couldn't make it right while I was in the office for ever so I never used them despite paying $100, I could have gotten them online much cheaper and they'd work better and now they want upwards of $400 because of their mistake? Or, and more likely, not a mistake and they practice sneaky business. Why are they checking my insurance for service I didn't ask for to begin with?!? read more

Undocumented billing, unreliable scheduling, dentist cut himself while working on my mouth and tried to hide it. Worst dental care I've seen. read more

Literally the worst service I've experienced in a dental center. Agree with other reviews that the receptionists are rude. The wait time is consistently terribly. And, the Boulder Dental location on Canyon isn't much better. I decided to do Invisalign here at the Arapahoe location. While I enjoyed the results of my teeth, I couldn't wait to be done with Boulder Dental. I went to a different practice for my first appointment post-Invisalign, and they still found remains from my attachments. A more thorough job should have been done (especially considering the appointment took twice as long to have them removed as it was originally scheduled for). read more

Great cleaning, great staff! Highly recommend! Dr. Lee is the very best! Hygienist was knowledgeable and explained procedure thoroughly.

1) Be prepared... a 20 minute cleaning will take at least 80 min. Long wait in the reception area and then long wait between hygienist and dentist. 2) They always cancel an upcoming appointment at least once via text. For my most recent one, they cancelled THREE times until I called and explained that I had to keep rearranging childcare for my appointments, and that this was not acceptable. 3) Receptionist with blue hair is always snippy and rude, ex. when I ask questions about why I am always paying a fee even though I have insurance. Sorry I'm not an expert in dental insurance! Truly a stressful and disappointing experience every time. Wish I had read the other reviews before going here. read more

Horrible customer service with the front desk staff. The receptionist, April, called with an issue on my insurance being verified which happens. Together, we could have figured it out, but instead, she sounded extremely annoyed with me the entire call. When I said to her, "you sound annoyed with me, why are you annoyed with me?" She hung up on me. I canceled my appointment and will never return so I cannot comment on how the dentists are, but the front desk needs serious customer service training. read more

Lovely! They took my call with ease and put me in their books pretty quickly. Within a couple weeks I had my ingrown removed and it all went very well. Would recommend them to others due to the friendliness and expertise provided. read more

I had a terrible experience at this dentist. Wish I had read the YELP reviews and seen the BBB rating of F. Unsanitary, incompetent and rude is how I would describe my visit. When I arrived to my routine cleaning, the hygienist had no idea how to work the equipment. She picked up items she had dropped on the ground then put her fingers in my mouth!!! I had to ask at one point that she change her gloves. The process was exceedingly long for a routine cleaning and x-rays. 9 months after this awful visit, I get a bill for $133. My insurance always covers routine visits, so I have no idea how Boulder Dental Center messed up the claim. Avoid this awful business. read more

Avoid if you can. This place is a revolving door of dentists. For the last two years they did not have hygienists staffed and the receptionist flossed my teeth and THAT was my cleaning. If I was lucky the dentist would come in and hit a few spots with drill to spot clean. I pay for full insurance and SHOULD be getting two cleanings a year. instead its spot cleanings and bad flossings from the receptionists. read more

Was asked by the office manager responding to my review to call them. I did. They offered to have me come back in, for a fee, to review the work they had completed that already need to be replaced after a short amount of time. They provided no remedy for the two scars I have on the inside of both my cheeks and let me know that they don't believe Dr. Appleby is intentionally harming patients. Just wow. read more

I've been delighted with the excellent dental care I've received at Boulder Dental Center, Arapahoe. Dr. Azhar Ahmed is a very skilled and caring dentist. The staff is wonderful and very friendly.

Boulder Dental Center - General Dentistry Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

After reading the positive reviews for this center, I was really disappointed at the care I received on my first visit. The front office staff was not wearing masks when I arrived, took 5 minutes to come out of the back room to check me in for my appointment, and left me in a room alone for 40 minutes without telling me next steps or what services they were going to perform. I had to go downstairs to the front desk to request care. After I did, I received care after waiting another 15 minutes. Staff were not friendly and made little attempt to remedy the poor experience. Staff then tried to fill a cavity on the spot, which was confusing to me because the care I had received was so poor and lengthy that I wondered how they suddenly had time to fill a cavity. I will be getting a second opinion and will not be returning to this practice after such a poor experience. read more

I had a wonderful cleaning on my first visit. I came back for a second appointment and the girl with the green/purple hair at the front desk was so repeatedly rude that I made the decision to turn around and leave. Great dental staff but everyone at the front desk needs some customer service training. Feels like they really don't want to be there and you are putting them out by checking in to your dentist appointment. So sad. read more

Don't like leaving bad reviews but the last visit left me slightly upset. My son 6yo had another dentist scheduled for a procedure (she was great and he knew her), last minute they called us and said they need to change a dentist, we were fine with it. Due to the procedure we had to be scheduled for 7am as they said it's best for my son. The dentist was 40 min late. She didn't introduce herself, she was upset I think that we were still there and didn't reschedule due to her being late. She was rushing and didn't know how to talk to my son to calm him down. She ended up not being able to help him as he was too scared. We are changing a dentist. Just got our paperwork transferred.super disgusting and unprofessional. read more

This place is a total scam. My amazingly wonderful dentist retired and sold his practice to Boulder Dental Center. The dentist I was seeing was okay so I stayed there. This year I got dental insurance. The woman I was dealing with assured me that Boulder Dental Center accepted my Anthem insurance. She said she had confirmed it. I went to my previously scheduled dental appointment and found out the dentist I had been seeing was no longer there, but they scheduled me with another dentist. After a subpar cleaning, the dentist came in. He barely even looked in my mouth. The exam lasted about one minute. To make things worse, after a few months I received a backdated bill from them for $177. Apparently, Boulder Dental Center is not on my insurance and I was scammed! Avoid this place. I will be looking for a new dentist. read more

When you read people saying that Boulder Dental Center has terrible billing practices, BELIEVE THEM. My partner and I both used Boulder Dental Center. They needed quite a bit of restorative dental work including a deep cleaning. The insurance person encouraged my husband to schedule a second expensive appointment to the new year after my partner expressed that they wanted to wait to ensure their insurance would fully cover the costs. The insurance person said that the second procedure would not exceed their annual maximum and that the deep cleaning would be covered. They had the work done and we received a $1,000 bill from them a month later - the insurance DID NOT cover it despite the dentist's insistence. I canceled my upcoming cleaning. Neither of us will be returning to his office. read more

For a few years I had gone to Boulder Dental Center on Canyon and was happy about my experience - I saw their reviews were low, but had never had a bad experience myself. Then I went to the Arapahoe location for an ortho consult with Dr. David Sabott at the end of August '22. I was shocked and appalled at my treatment. First off, he called me 'girl' and patted my shoulder which I found unprofessional and disrespectful, but I brushed it off thinking he wanted to be relevant and hip or something. Then, during the consultation, he made some reference to his wife - I forget what we were discussing - but I do recall clearly that he said "if you and me were to get happy." I was so shocked and disgusted and flabbergasted at his comment that I didn't say anything. It actually took me another week to process what he had said, admit that he had said what he had, and to send them an email expressing my dismay. If he said that to me, there is no doubt he has other female patients he has spoken to inappropriately to as well. He should be fired. Women - beware! read more

When I moved to Boulder, my daughter recommended Boulder Dental Center, and I couldn't be happier having them as my dental group. The offices are clean and comfortable, the staff are always friendly, and the dentists are caring, competent and very informative. I have had several dental hygienists and each of them has been personable, kind, and GENTLE! I never thought I would say this, but I actually look forward to going to the dentist now! read more

Some of the people at Boulder Dental Center engage in deceptive practices. They hand out favors, e.g., free water picks, for favorable yelp reviews. Don't fall for it. They intentionally recommended unnecessary dental work, gum surgery, and when I did need a filling, Dr. Applebee used the wrong composite color. The filling stands out like a sore thumb. She then recommended more and more dental work to fix problems she'd created. Run from this business!!! read more

Boulder Dental center has been such a blessing to my family and I. We are a big family of six and have just returned from many years abroad where we had to put off our dental care a bit. When we arrived back in the US our youngest son was in braces that had been put on abroad and they were willing to work with us. Also our dental insurance was almost finished and they got us all in, all six of us in one day. Since they have three Offices around Boulder there's always somewhere that works for our schedule. My son had his wisdom teeth removed this last Christmas and they were great to work with. We love their family Office plan. It has saved us a lot of money. Everyone that works there seems so real and not out to take advantage of us. They are really refreshing. Thanks so much Boulder Dental center! I also appreciate that they are taking care of all of us during this pandemic. read more

This dental office uses abusive billing practices. I went in for a teeth cleaning early in 2022 and they suggested I get a filling, which their staff told me would be free with my insurance. After I went in the for filling a week later they told me the bill would be $200. I reminded them about the conversation we had about the insurance and they told me it they would look into it. I reminded them three times, all of which I have saved in email correspondence, without any responses. Four months later they reached out to have me pay $40, which I did, but they had a bill on my account for $816. I asked again that this would be covered by insurance and they confirmed. Now, another four months after that last conversation and my payment, they called me to pay the full amount, and did not even mention my prior payments. The person on the phone told me she would be sending my account to collections. Visit this office if you enjoy your free services being sent to collections for over $800! read more

Feel like I'm always waiting 15-30 minutes for my appointment, so I wish they would see you when your appointment is. Some of the dentists aren't very nice either read more

Not a fan! There were a number of things that felt awful about my visit. I should probably say that my dentist got injured and sold her practice to Boulder dental center, so it really wasn't my researched choice to go there. But, the office was freezing, the dental hygienist kept time to the music on the head rest next to my ear, the names of the patients were on the schedule displayed on the monitor above my head, and I got an infection. Despite saying that they had emergency coverage, I called at 10 in the morning and did not hear back till 530. Since they didn't even break the skin, I'm curious about getting an infection, I feel like the only conclusion is that the sterilization was not sufficient. read more

Pleasant staff and appointment was on time. I have been using the Canyon office for years and this location is just as professional. I would encourage you to trust this dental service. You won't be disappointed. read more

This is a review for the Arapahoe location. Was looking for a place to get my teeth cleaned as I had not found a dentist in Boulder yet. I don't recommend them. The nurse had no idea what she was doing. She was definitely still being trained and that's totally okay I get that but she should have had someone with her who actually knew what they were doing. Then the Dr., who had a very thick accent - I didn't know what she was saying half the time unfortunately - was also very unprofessional and I felt very uneasy having things in my mouth done by her. When I originally scheduled my appointment I made sure they accepted my insurance, then a few months later I get a bill from them. After more than six months of troubles with my insurance which they said they accepted, it's finally been taken care of. The one star is for the issue finally being done with, and the very kind receptions ladies. They had all been very nice whenever I would call. Otherwise, the whole experience was just messy and not professional. :( read more

The team at Boulder Dental Center did an amazing job. They schedule our appointments quickly, sent reminders, and the check in process was easy and efficient. Dental cleaning went smooth and my teeth felt great afterwords. Staff were kind and engaging. A great experience!! read more

I was a client at this office for 3+ years. At first it was fine, cleanings and filling cavities went fairly well each time, but once I started getting more serious work done a lot of problems started coming up. First, I got a crown on one of my molars, and I ended up getting such a severe infection after the work was done that I had to go to the ER because my gums were so swollen that eventually spread to the rest of my mouth and got so bad I couldn't eat or even drink water through a straw. I was prescribed penicillin from the ER doctor and that cleared up within a week. I went back to get more work done, and after I got another crown done, my gums were so swollen and sore, I eventually went back to the dentist to see what was going on. The dentist had informed me that the dental assistant who finished up my crown had accidentally burned the surface of my gums off, and they didn't do anything to fix the situation besides recommend that I go to the drugstore and pick up some gum numbing cream. I can't believe I went back a third time for more work (I had just wanted to get it all done as soon as possible.) The last time I got work done, I had a cavity between my two front teeth that they filled, but neglected to smooth out the filling behind my two front teeth. To this day it's still rough and I'm hoping to get it smoothed out at another dentist. Another thing to mention, they bribe their patients with discounts and free stuff if they give good reviews on google. They offered me a free water pik if I gave them a good review, which I declined due to the traumatic experiences I went through at this dentist. read more

This was the rudest dental visit I have ever had. Had me wait 10 minutes while they were talking about who should go get coffee. I will never go back t this place and do not recommend it read more

Dr Kelsey is a ham handed butcher - banging around inside my mouth and inflicting pain without care or concern. You feel like the amount of things they find or recommend to be done is based on how much money they need to make up for the month versus what you truthfully need as a patient. There are other options in boulder - certainly far better options - be warned! read more
