I was referred to Dental Elements by a coworker when I first moved to Denver and it was one of the best referrals I got as a new resident. The staff is so friendly- ask for Michael, he will keep you laughing through even the worst visit. The office is so clean and modern and doesn't have that daunting dentist office feel to it. If you work and live downtown, this is your best bet when it comes to dental offices. read more

Awesome looking office, super up-to-date technology. Dr. Thurmann and his staff are great. Came in at last minute after crown fell off, he checked it out, told me to wait until the next week. I came in and had a temporary crown in 57 minutes. Great experience! thanks Dental Elements! read more

This visit was to replace an old silver filling and recap a tooth. It was to take 2 hrs. It TOOK 4!. Back in the chair I received a few shots to numb me up. But those shots failed. Sill in pain, dr. Thurman asked if I wanted further shots. My thinking here was "do I have to be the one to ask for more shots"?. When not even those proved as successful I had hoped, another round was to come. At this point I sensed the doctor to be a wee bit annoyed. He offered something to put me asleep. When I asked if insurance would pick that up, I was told no. It would be $700. My final complaint was at check out. I was told that the day's visit (my portion) would b $1200.00. Really? Can you bill me? (Like every dentist I've ever gone to). No. Well in just a few minutes, they came up with a plan...3 months, 18%interest!. . read more

All of the work my wife and I have had done here has made us both very happy. So it might be a little more expensive than another dentist, but I am willing to pay for the technology and quality of work we have experienced. As far as people being upset by the upselling, just tell them you aren't interested...I mean, they are still a business... Overall, I love the location and the office. The staff has been incredibly helpful and they are very thorough with everything. Dr. Thurman has always walked through everything he is doing so we always know what is going on. When it comes to billing, someone has always gone in the office and shown us a breakdown of all charges. All you have to do is ask. That simple. As long as it remains convenient for us to continue going here, my wife and I will. read more

David Thurman is very professional detail-oriented. The staff is friendly and the office is in a convenient location.

They do everything electronically, so they save a lot of paperwork. They have been on-time with every appointment, they don't run over time, and everyone has been very friendly. The front desk sends out e-mail and text reminders about your appts. You can call or e-mail for appts, which is very convenient these days. They can take an instant picture of your teeth to show you why you need to get your cavity fixed, and they answer all of your questions. They also show you your dental x-rays, and tell you what they mean with all the 1,2,3 and 4's that they measure your gums by. They also allow you to pick a show while you're getting your teeth cleaned! They look out for you with preventive care (night guards for grinding and preventing gum recession). read more

I went to Dental Elements about 6 months ago and was not a fan. The office is very nice and the location is great, but that's the only thing I liked. The dentist wasn't real friendly and he seemed aggravated with the dental hygienist when she confirmed what side of my mouth he was going to start looking at first. So it was a little awkward and uncomfortable. Also, it seems they really try to squeeze every dollar out of you. I'm in my late 20s and I've had 3 cavities my entire life. I go to Dental Elements and all of a sudden I have 10 in one visit. They then try hard to get you to commit to getting the treatment done, which was pretty expensive. They kept calling until I told them I wasn't going to get it done, and then they tried again a month later to get me to schedule the treatment. read more

Please do not go here. Both my husband and I went here for two years and upon our first appointment were told we needed some immediate care. I was told I needed 8 fillings and my husband needed two root canals. I had never had problems with my teeth prior and was worried I had finally neglected them, so we both went ahead with the procedures. One year later, I went in for corrections to my bite and was recommended an inman aligner (expensive!). At the end of the treatment, the technician was removing the product from my teeth - went too far, and actually removed a portion of the enamel. Furthermore, my bite no longer touched properly. When I called in to tell them about the sensitivity and issues I was having I was told that it was my fault for not mentioning something at the time of the procedure. No one apologized and I decided to move away from them at that time. Bedside manner is NON-EXISTENT here. After moving to a new practice, we were both told that the majority of the work done at Dental Elements was either unnecessary or performed incorrectly. Please do not get tricked by the new technology and fancy office! Do your research in finding a good practice, we wish we had!! read more

I found Dental Elements on a review site 4 years ago after moving to Denver and every experience I've had there has been great. The staff is very friendly and Dr. Thurman is awesome. The location is perfect and because it's a smaller practice I never has issues getting an appointment or have to wait to be seen. I highly recommend Dental Elements! read more

Dr. Thurman, Josie, Michael, and the rest of the staff are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and welcoming. They have a great balance of state-of-the-art tools and traditional knowledge & practices. In addition to their trade, they offer a holistically pleasant experience, from hot towels, to a beautiful space, to clearly sharing their values. It feels like a family. read more

I had a quite a few fillings that I was told I needed (both new and replaced) spending over 1,000 out of pocket. One filling was not done correctly (I can feel a sharp edge on it) and they insisted on charging me to come back and look at it. Receptionist is very rude. read more

I had my teeth cleaned and cavities filled at this dental office last year. I had a really bad experience with the office secretary (who is no longer there), followed by a superb follow up with the dentist himself. The dignity and autonomy that the dentist held deserves a 5 star rating. Really nice office too...feels more like a spa. read more

The staff was really kind and the dentist was the most thorough I've ever been to. I would recommend!

As valuable as out teeth are, it is surprising how many put up with sub-standard care which you WILL NOT find at Dental Elements. Only the best approach, service, and quality care is provided. I have had some problem dentists in the past but am now only using Dental Elements to fix all their mistakes and issues. Great staff as well read more

STAY AWAY! I wish I could leave less than one star. Or a middle finger. I have always had a very healthy mouth. Every dentist who has ever looked in my mouth has only had good things to say. I take very good care of my teeth and gums, floss 2 times/day, Sonicare, Waterpik, you name it... and it has always paid off. I went to Dental Elements because it looked like a nice office, and it was very near my house. NOT good reasons to choose a dentist, BTW! I mean, all I needed was a cleaning. What could possibly go wrong? So, I went in for a standard cleaning. I told them just to do what my insurance covered. They neglected to check my benefits until AFTER my appointment, did a bunch of stuff my insurance didn't cover, and sent me the bill. So aggravating! I stupidly went back because I had a pain in my tooth. You would think that if there were a crack or decay in the tooth, the doctor would have been able to diagnose it from the xrays he took, that my insurance did not pay for, but no... He didn't even look at them. He said he didn't see anything wrong with the tooth when he examined it. So he made me a new night guard. Great - I probably needed that. He told me I needed fluoride treatments and sealants. I paid over $1000 for all this crap. Guess what? Still had a pain in my tooth. Stupidly, I went back again. No decay, no diagnosis of a crack. So (and I am NOT kidding) he just performed exploratory drilling in my perfectly healthy, strong tooth, left a huge y-shaped canal in the molar, said "Gosh, I don't see anything wrong here. Let's fill it" Charged me over $500 for the filling. Guess what? Still have pain in my tooth. Today, 1.5 years later I was told by my long time dentist, one with integrity, who I've seen for over 20 years (wish I'd just gone a little further to see him initially) that the filling is loose, and because the thing is so huge, I'll now have to have a crown. I'm really upset. :( Thanks a lot Dr. Thurman. I now have to pay to have your thoughtless, crappy work repaired, and down the line 20 years, if I'm lucky, the crown will have to be replaced with an implant. Was this your plan all along? Lifetime revenue stream for you? If I can prevent even one person from going through this, then writing this review was worth my time. This guy just wants to sell you whatever he can with no regard for what you actually need. read more

Great office love the location and professionalism! Dentist was great and they fixed my front tooth. Good as new!

This place will push treatments on you that you do NOT need. Dr. Thurman likes to tell everyone they "grind" their teeth, and then charge you $500.00 for a night guard. They will push treatments and then pretty much nag you with emails about being "concerned" about you and please come in. Nonstop emails! DO NOT get veneers here. Dr. Thurman does your veneers that day and you are not afforded the opportunity to "spend time" with your new teeth. You are basically laying down in the chair and he holds the tooth up with his finger and says, "is this OK"? Making veneers is an art, and he is NOT an artist. DO your research on other Denver dentists, before you plunk down the money for this procedure. If I had to go over again, I would NOT go here. Yes his office is nice, but there is a reason it is nice - his treatments are more, so you are paying for that office. read more

Dr Thurman is a creative dentist in the most positive way possible. He stays up-to-date on the latest technology and can replace a crown all in a few hours because he makes it right there in the lab by computer. No temporary crowns or further appointments. He also discovered a hard-to-find jawbone problem I had and fixed it with my own stem cells. His tech Michael is a patient, caring godsend who never fails to pay attention to the tiniest detail. read more

I've never been a fan of going to the dentist, and as such had been putting off finding a new one since I relocated to Denver. Fortunately I stumbled on Dental Elements. My initial visit was pleasant overall, starting with the asst who checked me in. He was very hospitable, and took the time to look into my insurance to ensure all my coverages and explain what I would be responsible for, if anything. My hygienist was also great. I've had hygienists in the past that aren't as personable and certainly aren't as gentle when cleaning my teeth. She made the overall experience a good one, after which the "dental geek" (the hygienist call him that) performed his exam. He made a few small recommendations, nothing that was unnecessary, and made sure I understood what all was going on with my teeth. Overall pleased with the service I've received thus far. Hope my next visit today is just as pleasant...ha read more

Really great practice. The entire staff is super friendly, the technology top notch and Dr. Thurman is thorough, understanding and very proffesional. Continuing a netflix binge while getting a cavity filled is a nice perk. In general not a huge fan of the dentist, but this place has totaly removed that anxiety in only a few visits. Super impressed. read more

I completed my first appointment for a routine cleaning at Dental Elements and I was pleasantly surprised with my experience from start to finish. Everyone from the front desk staff to the hygienist to the dentist were professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. I appreciate great communication and Josie (the hygienist) and Dr. Thurman, both kept me updated throughout the process on what they were seeing/doing. I've never been to a dentist that provided a complementary consultation to discuss recommended next steps and even my financial obligations. It felt very personalized and was able to get all my questions answered without feeling rushed. I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a new dentist. read more

Dental Elements has a beautiful office, professional staff and is very easy to book appointments and includes friendly reminders. I had several procedures done that I put off for years! #cheesinSZN read more

In walking distance downtown and couldn't be a nicer group of people. My teeth are always very well cared for here!

If I could give Dental Elements 0 stars, I would. They are out to steal money and could not care less if their unnecessary surgeries and fillings cause more harm than good. I was skeptical after they told me that I need oral surgery and over a dozen fillings since I had been going regularly to my dentist in another state. I decided to get a second opinion and was told there is absolutely no need for surgery and the dentist could not find a single cavity. Terrible and immoral. I plan to file a formal complaint with the Colorado Dental Board, if you've been wrongfully operated on I hope you'll do the same! Here is the link - https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/dora/DPO_File_Complaint read more

Dr. Thurman and his entire staff are professional and caring. Dental work was accomplished to perfection without pain or discomfort of any kind. I have found my forever dentist! I recommend without any reservations. read more

They are awesome! Any dentist office where I get to sit in a leather chair and watch tv on hulu while they clean my teeth gets my vote. It also also easy to reschedule appointments. The only downside is that it would be cheaper to do a groupon for teeth whiting than to go here, to my regular dentist. read more

Both Dr. Thurman and Michael were very professional from the first appointment through my first treatment. The whole time I felt as I was in good hands and everything went very smoothly. The office is modern and clean and the technology they used to implant a crown was very advanced from my experience. I highly recommend Dental Elements if you're new to town or looking for a change. read more

They are extremely nice and lay all options out cleanly. They were able to accommodate my schedule and also responded quickly to my questions. I highly recommend them. read more

I loved the fact that I could call for a new appointment and they were available to see me within the hour. I usually like immediate appointments because my schedule changes so much. Everyone was very friendly and cares about the work being done. The staff and the lady who did my cleaning (I am so bad with names) was very thorough, knowledgeable, willing to learn more and that is greatly appreciated. read more

I appreciate the friendly welcome staff. These guys are efficient. I love getting reminders texted to my phone. Great location, usually street metered parking nearby. My hygienist Rena was terrific. I like having a menu of items that need to be taken care of and deciding what priorities are and what to tackle first. read more

Excellent experience with Dental Elements! I went here for the first time for a check up and cleaning. The staff was very friendly and professional. I also like how clean and high tech the office was. Great location in doentown, very convenient to walk to especially if you work or live downtown. I highly recommend going here for all your dental needs! read more

Great customer service and the technology is amazing! I'm a visual learner so being able to see what they see is amazing!

Dr. Thurman and his staff are fantastic, professional and so friendly. Dr. Thurman does such amazing work and truly cares for his patients as does Michael and Josie. Great office and very clean as well! Thank you all! Rebecca DeVries read more

I went to this place because they could get me an appointment really fast. The staff is friendly and pay close attention to detail. Then the dentist sits you down and goes over the work that needs to be done, should be done and preventative work. So it's true that you decide what you ultimately want done. I haven't been to enough dental offices to really know if it's pricy or not but it definitely doesn't seem budget. Overall I was very happy. read more

Both fillings fell out within 6 months. I went to a different dentist to have them fixed because of how terrible my experience was with this office. The other dentist charged me $50 for both fillings and Dental Elements charged me over $500..... awful experience. read more

Have you ever longed for an above average dentist who knows how to take care of the vast majority of your dental needs, and truely cares about you? A dentist who doesn't want you to ALWAYS have to take time off from work to see him? A dentist who doesn't have you running all over town from one specialist to another because he is capable of doing many procedures himself? And on top of all this, is a really nice person? Well then settle down and make Dr. David Thurman your go to dentist. Just like I did, and will continue to do. And please know his staff is also right up there in quality. And like a cherry on top, you won't have to beg for an appointment that is convenient for you, the scheduler will do everything possible to accommodate you. Cost?, Well you'll still be able to make your mortgage payments so you get my point. And don't overlook that Dental Elements location is just a short distance from Denver's Union Station. read more

Dental Elements - General Dentistry Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Dental work and service is great, but be prepared for hidden costs and fees. I went in expecting to be charged $69 for two fillings and was billed double due to some medication fee they happened to forget to tell me about until I had to pay of course. So if you want good dental care I would definitely recommend this dental office, but if your short on funds I would continue searching. I need more work done and will probably shop around for lower costing dental care. read more

I've been a Dental Elements patient for a little over a year now and have nothing but positive things to say about their office. The staff is friendly, thorough and very helpful when it comes to offering tips to maintain excellent dental hygiene. My husband and I both can't recommend them enough-and their downtown location is perfect for a quick cleaning during the lunch hour! read more

Today was my first time at Dental Elements and it was an overall great experience. My hygienist, Rena was super nice, personable and gentle on my teeth. Doctor Thurman was also very nice and took the time to talk with me and make sure I was 100% happy with my teeth. Truly, everyone I encountered today was nice and friendly, and not to mention, the office is very clean. I would highly recommend Dental Elements! read more

I came here last month to get a chipped tooth fixed. Michael and Dr. Thurman bonded my tooth. They were both very friendly and professional. It was a pretty quick and painless procedure. Afterward when I took a look at the bonded tooth, it looked good as new. The bonding was the exact same color as my tooth. I could not even see where it was done. It feels like my normal tooth too. I paid a reasonable price. I would highly recommend this place and staff. read more
