I moved to Montrose about four years ago. Not having a dentist and having some dreadfull experences with dentists else where, I asked my husband if he knew a good dentist. He suggested I go to his dentist, Dr. Dan Clader of "Colorado Smiles". I did go and the experiences I have had are awesome!!! I have never had a dentist sit down with me and discuss the plan that he thought was best, but Dr. Clader did. But best of all, Dr Clader gave me my chart and advised me to look the plan over and then we can proceed. Several procedures were performed including an implant and the results were great. The caring treatment I received from Dr. Clader and his staff was unsurpassed. I was treated as part of the family by everyone. I would say I was sent to the best dentist I have ever been to and would recommend Dr. Clader to anyone. On the lighter side, Dr. Clader gives out shopping bags with his "Colorado Smiles" logo on the side. I use them in the stores in Montrose, Colo. that I shop in. Frequently, people will see the bag and say, "You must go to 'Dan' for your dentist". I proudly tell them, "Yep, he is great". Diane Bartholome Montrose, Co. read more

Dr. Dan and team are the best I've ever experienced. I've been to dentists in seven states and Washington, DC and NYC in my time, and none compared to Colorado Smiles. Let's see, I think I still have a couple of teeth that Dan hasn't crowned, but if they need restoring, this is where I'm going. I also have the best mouth guard I've ever had provided by Dan. When I was still commuting to Manhattan from here and using a dentist there also, he and his hygenist kept praising what good work was done on my crowns by Dan. When Dan referred me to other dental professionals for orthodontics and a root canal, he got me to the best in the region. The staff at Colorado Smiles is always very well trained, entusiastic about their work, professional in handling everything from teeth cleaning to billing, and very friendly and accomodating. I also appreciate the discount for prepaying for work as well. Many times I have run into Dan in the DIA airport on his way for continued advanced training and teaching in Seattle and Vancouver. He's on top of the profession, has the latest in technology, and always a great team in the office. Jim Branscome read more

7/22/2012 It used to be going to the dentist was a really ( well maybe or maybe not thing), but I have no second thoughts now if I have mouth problem, I am on the phone in a heart beat. I know from experience of going to Smiles, that Dr. Dan Clater and his staff (of which I will garentee you will find no one group so willing to welcome you into their family.) I have had a lot of very delicate procedures that has been done by Dr. Clader, such as implants, caps and fillings that fit so well and feels awesome. The colors of the teeth match perfectly, and most of all the comfort is so important to me and is very well handled at the office of Dr. Clader My last experence was a big chip out of a front veener and I am sure the appointment book was over loaded, but I was worked in and my problem was fixed that day. I am so thankful for finding a dentist that I can go to and have all the options explained in detail and all is followed through as stated. NO under the table OOPs charges. Nice to find a dentist and staff I can trust and does such proffessional work. Thanks to Dr. Clater and staff Diane Bartholome read more

Ist of all I want to congratulate Dr. Dan Clader for being chosen best dentist of the year!!!! I have gone to Dr. Clader for several years. I gave him a couple challenges for this year. I had a couple of teeth that were not very cooperative. I have always felt when I have gone to Dr. Dan, I can give all my trust to him. His patience and technology to get all my teeth fixed so professionally is such a blessing to me I will be going to him forever, have never had a dentist that is not only caring but concerned enough to call the day after the procedures to make sure all is going well. I also would like to say a big thanks to Dr. Claders wife and the stall for all the kindness and the family feeling they give when one walks through their front door. Really is a good thing to like to go to the dentist. COLORADO SMILES IS THE BEST!!!! Diane Bartholome 66215 largo lane Montrose, co 81401 read more

My sons were very nervous for their very first dentist check up and walked away from Dr. Clader's office with the BIGGEST smiles on their faces! My older son watched his little brother go first and kept leaning into me and saying, "I'm so excited, mom! I can't WAIT until it's my turn. I think the x-rays will be my favorite part!" Definitely not the typical response you hear from people headed for the dentist's chair. Dr. Clader and his staff did a FANTASTIC job of making my sons feel safe, calm and included in the process, which was HUGE to them. Everything was done with care and careful explanation. SO so thankful for such a wonderful first visit and a positive set up for their future dental care. My little guys are already asking when they can go back! :) Thank you to Dr. Dan and the ladies at Colorado Smiles! Grateful, Marisa Miller read more

When I first started seeing Dr Clader and the Colorado Smiles team, my teeth were having many issues, primarily due to old fillings and such. Over a period of time, working within my budget, my teeth were all repaired and have remained stable for more than 15 years now. I really appreciate Dr Clader's use of the best techniques available, his concern for aesthetics and restoration, and the care taken by the entire staff to make the entire dental experience as pleasant and comfortable as possible. I love my teeth and want them to last a lifetime. It is great having Colorado Smiles to help me achieve that. The best dental team I've ever worked with. read more

From the moment you first enter the front doors and see the lit candle, you know you're not in an ordinary Dentist's waiting room. That warm touch carries through to Dr. Dan Clader and all his friendly staff. As a patient of his for over 20 years, I feel I can attest to his professional work in his commitment to my excellent dental health. That concern also includes keeping me as comfortable & relaxed during dental procedures as well, performed with care in a sterile environment. When they set your appointment for a certain time, there is no waiting. I highly recommend Dr. Dan Clader and his whole crew! read more

Dan Clader and his staff have created an outstanding office. From the moment I first came in the door, I was given extraordinary attention. Dr. Clader has invested in the top of the line equipment and invests even more in patient care. Everyone in the office is very professional and also very personable. That doesn't just happen in an office--it takes a lot of time and dedication to build an office culture like that. He is the best dentist I've ever had, and I wish I hadn't wasted so many years without him! If I didn't live here, I would come here just for the dentist appointments! read more

I know it sounds impossible but the staff at Dr Claders office makes me want to go to the dentist! In all honesty I was impressed from my first visit. The entire staff takes the time to make sure I understand every step in every aspect of a dental appointment. From scheduling to billing and all the dental work in between. It is clear to me that customer care is top priority for this office. Dr. Clader explains what he is doing and why he is doing it. This is precisely the kind of place I like to do business. Thank your for great dental work and great customer care. Doug Olson read more

Dr. Clader and his team made getting a crown worthy of a 5 star rating. That's saying something, because getting a crown, typically, isn't that great of an experience. I had a lot of bad experiences with dentists when i was a kid, which made for a lot of dentist fear. The good people at Colorado Smiles asked about previous dental experience beforehand and went above and beyond to make me comfortable during the process. They're also terrific with my young children, which takes a tremendous amount of patience! I cannot say enough good things about this practice. -Teri Gibson read more

Dr. Clader and his team recently began the process of replacing my upper teeth with a denture. I was very anxious about the procedure, but having been a patient for a number of years, I knew they would take good care of me! I have had no ...swelling or bruising and just minimal discomfort since they pulled the upper teeth. I have my temporary denture in place and I'm looking forward to completing the process within the next few months. Thanks Dr. Dan and all the friendly and kind people at Colorado Smiles read more

Due to terrible experiences in "the chair" in my past, I had become more willing to have surgery than go to the dentist!!! Needless to say, I avoided going for a long time! Dr. Clader and everyone in his office did a great job of making me feel comfortable enough to come in and give it another go. They are all very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. They've helped me to be back on track and making regular dental visits a normal part of my routine now. Thank you Colorado Smiles! read more

Stop searching for a Dentist!! You have found him right here! From the moment you make the appointment you are treated with such care and professionalism. Dr. Clader and his team strive to make you feel at home and that all your needs and concerns are addressed. Having neglected going to the dentist for several years, they made the transition of fixing the current issues and maintaining routine care a piece of cake! You will not regret your decision to call Colorado Smiles today! read more

I've been going to Dr Clader for my dental needs for the last 6 years. He and his staff are a great working team. I had fillings done by Dr. Clader and he is very sympathetic to your fears and works through them as he proceeds with what needs to be done. No rushing to get the job done. Since my first visit, I've gone back for cleanings when I can. I love the staff! I will definitely be bringing my little one in when it's time for his cleaning and checkups. Amber Hasse read more

I've been seeing Dr. Clader for several years. I was initially impressed with the high level of technology and the detailed exam at my first visit . Now, after going for several years, I am impressed by the professionalism coupled with the caring and concern, too. I especially like the follow-up phone calls after any serious procedure, asking how it went, how I'm doing, whether I have any questions, etc. All in all, I feel that my teeth are being well cared for. read more

Dr Clader and his staff are by far the most professional and dedicated group of people in the business. I had a serious problem of grinding my teeth and wearing them down to the point of major reconstruction. Dr Clader developed a plan to restore my teeth to perfect, over a course of several years. He even came in on his own time on a Saturday to help me out twice! If you need dental work of any kind, don't think of going anywhere else. read more

Several years of hit-or-miss dental care had resulted in a few problems in an otherwise healthy mouth. The catch-up has not been inexpensive, but the results are worth whatever it has taken. My daughter says the most important parts to take care of as we age are our teeth and our feet. I feel like I'm on the high road to longevity now, largely thanks to my relationship with Dr. Clader and the staff at Colorado Smiles. read more

Dr. Dan and his staff are great. I have been going to Dan since his practice opened(28 years I believe). He knew I had a fear of dentists and would go the extra steps to make me feel safe.I have been satisfied with all my procedures. He has been there through my braces as an adult, root canals and regular checkups. He's been wonderful with my children and my husband. Thanks Dr Dan! read more

I don't think I could ever give a dentist 5 stars, it's one of my least favorite places to be, but Colorado Smiles was the best experience I've ever had at a dentist! That's saying a lot, 28yr old and haven't liked a dentist in 10+ years, but Daniel Clader goes out of his way to make you enjoy your experience, or in my case at least make it tolerable. read more
