I haven't had issues with my teeth or had any issues with different dentists, but since I've started seeing them I feel like I've been getting recommendations to do more work than probably is necessary since I've taken very good care of my dental health. They charged me over 500 dollars to get a mouth guard (since I grind at night which is true) that I lost shortly after getting it and tried to get them to make me a replacement immediately after I lost it at a work trip and they said it wouldn't fit and that I would need a whole new set of imprints which is incorrect. I would be skeptical of some of their recommendations. I also had a crown and it did fit correctly and they tried to fit it again and I continued to have pain with my jaw and overall the dentist didn't even come look at personally she just sent me to a specialist and said I "might" need a root canal. Now I might have a unique situation but it doesn't appear that way and this appears to be standard practice so I'll be finding a new dentist. The staff is generally friendly and the office is up to code but, at this point I don't think the dentist has done a competent job and I would not recommend them to any friends or family. Nor do they really seem like they care about the pain my teeth and jaw have been. read more

Dr Rholeder has created a care centered practice where the patient is definitely #1 on their priority list. I had a crown this morning that was the most comfortable, relaxed, and care forward service I've ever had.. every need was met /exceeded; every comfort was provided; and Dr R's open, responsive, and clear joy in her life and work was very clear... I've been going to Highland Smiles for many years and it's been wonderful to watch the practice evolve to what it is now under Dr R's leadership.. The staff is excellent, well- trained, and caring.. I left smiling this morning after my procedure.. Thank you all so much!! read more

I have been seeing Dr Rohleder for 6 years. I had a crown less than a year that was loose. After going there & getting a X-ray I had to go see a endodontic. I had an infection and needed a root canal. When I went back to get a new crown. Rohleder said either she or the endodonist made a mistake and she would not charge me for the crown. I ended up calling the office to get them to pay for the crown as it never had anything to do with the root canal She was going to charge me for another crown when it was her error. I did get reimbursed but she never admitted her mistake. She only wanted to keep the money as that i what she cares about. Not her patients. Also her prices are high in comparison to other dentists. read more

My first time going to the dentist in 2.5 years and it was great! The staff made me feel very comfortable. The office is nice and in a cute neighborhood. Making my appointment was easy (they had availability in a couple days). They are great at what they do and gave me lots of information but it wasn't overwhelming. read more

I'm really bummed because I came here from a different dentist (who was terrible) hoping for a better experience. My first visit I paid $200 for a routine cleaning/check up WITH insurance. But that's not even the main issue why I'm writing in today. My bottom permanent retainer fell out a few weeks ago and I've called, left a voicemail, sent several emails and I am unable to receive help. Someone from the front desk finally called me back a couple days ago only to tell me he wasn't sure of the cost but asked if I wanted to get scheduled. I was like.. well I don't want to schedule if I'm not sure how much it will cost. He was like OK well your teeth are going to shift. YEAH I KNOW, THAT'S WHY I'M TRYING TO GET IT PUT BACK IN. Since then I've been following up again to see if there's anyone else who knows what the cost would be but haven't heard back from anyone still. Usually places will get back to you once you resort to leaving a review. I've messaged a couple orthodontists in the area but it seems people want to charge to create a whole new retainer instead of just putting back in the one I already have. Also, if there's anyone reading this who happens to know of a great dentist who can put the retainer back in and checks their messages please feel free to message me! **Update** Wow! You can see how this dentist treats her patients by her response alone. I've attached screenshots this time, with dates, to show how many times I had to reach out in order to get a response. It took 23 days to hear back today and only after leaving this review. NOWHERE does it mention they weren't sure if they could do it. A ballpark estimate? $200 is a lot different than $486. "It seems I have had similar responses from other offices I have contacted" What? The other responses that I mentioned already, were that they don't make permanent retainers anymore, only Invisalign. That is not even remotely close to what your response was? Nowhere in our messages in my screenshots does it mention that. I also have a different insurance than I did at my last appointment. No one bothered to ask about my insurance. So, as you can see, you are incorrect and I hope this provides more clarity for you. Also, I paid less when I didn't have insurance than what your practice charges WITH insurance. read more

See all

Highland Smiles is a great dental practice in the Highlands area of Denver. I was in for a replacement Crown that an xray identified on a recent appointment for a cleaning. The procedure was painless. Dr. Rohleder explained every step in a very friendly and comforting way that eliminates anxiety along with the chair side assistant. The equipment is state of the art technology for improved advanced dental care. They provide cosmetic services as well to brighten teeth and restore any corrections for a nice smile. The entire staff is efficient and welcoming from the time you come in. I highly recommend Highland Smiles read more

Excellent staff, and Dr. Rohleder is super. Got me in for a crown fix the same day. Highly recommend! read more

Quality care from the initial phone call with the person answering phone calls to the response from Nicole, the "crown expert". I was seen even tho patients aren't normally seen on Fridays. Nicole quickly assessed the problem and with a great deal of care and knowledge replaced the crown. In and out in 45 mins. read more

Dr Roehleder is great, very knowledgeable and kind. Willing to work with your situation and make sure you understand what your options are. Staff is also gentle and personable. read more

Dr. Rohleder is the type of dentist you want to have--friendly, keeps you informed, and doesn't push unnecessary procedures. I will definitely be coming here to see her for all future dental needs! read more

I cannot say enough nice things about Dr. Rohleder and her staff. Best dental practice I've ever had the pleasure of visiting and believe me, I've had a lot of dental work so I speak from extensive experience. She is so nice and makes you feel at ease even while delivering local. If you want a great smile and show off your teeth, look no further. read more

This was my first time here and I could not have been happier! I have trying to find a dentist for a bit now and I am so glad I finally have! Taylor did the most thorough clean for me. The dentist was honest but didn't try selling me on anything which was amazing as I have experienced that many times. Left feeling like all of my questions were answered and my teeth felt amazing! Will be making this my new regular dentist! Appreciate everyone there! read more

Well, again, I would like to report my continued satisfaction at Highland Smiles. Not only is Dr.Roehleder very skilled, she's also wonderfully personable and kind. Her team is outstanding as well. Nancy always goes out of her way to work me in when I think I'm in distress. Ha! Thank you to your team! read more

I was very pleased with the excellent service at Highland Smiles. Warm atmosphere, amazing technicians and the dentist was very helpful, explaining the work they would do. read more

Everyone at the practice is very welcoming, from the front desk staff to the dentist. Linda, the hygienist, is amazing!!! She somehow turns every trip to the dentist (which is generally not a fun endeavor) into a positive and enjoyable experience. She consistently delivers high quality care, wrapped in a very kind and fun personality! The dentist, Dr. Rohleder, has exceptional bedside manner, takes time to listen to your concerns/questions, and is very informative. read more

I've been going to Highland Smiles for several years since moving to the Denver area. The team at Highland Smiles is extremely professional and I recommend the practice to anyone looking for exceptional dentistry services. I have never felt pressured to have a procedure done, which I know can be common with dentistry practices. The team is friendly and caring. I was just there today and had my entire cleaning and exam done in 20-30 minutes. As someone who genuinely appreciates efficiency, this meant the world to me. The parking is all on the street, but during the day this isn't an issue. I highly highly recommend coming to Highland Smiles if you're in the Denver area. read more

I am that super anxious person that does terrible at the dentist. Highland Smiles always takes perfect care of me and WITHOUT JUDGMENT!! It means so so much to me. I know I'm in good hands even when I'm so nervous or freaking out. I will never go anywhere else as long as I am in Denver. read more

Great dental office, I've been a customer for almost 15 years. They always treat me with respect and courtesy. Very attentive and have you in and out quickly. Also conscious of sensitive teeth. read more

Good cleaning where I could actually see a reduction in staining and then got in for a whitening. Good dental care too after having a tooth break. read more

Dr. Arnold has been my dentist now for nearly 8 yrs! I don't exactly have the best teeth ever and thanks to the team at Highland Smiles I am all Smiles. Cleanings. Fillings. Crowns. They all happen. The thing I appreciate the most is their willingness to help me when things don't go as planned. A crown pops off when I am eating popcorn? They are so good to squeeze me in and get it fixed. The best advice I have followed was to get a water pik to help keep my gums healthy and reduce potential cavities. I recommend Highland Smiles. read more

I was a patient here from approx 2016-2020. I left the practice because my insurance changed. Good: (1) Front desk staff are professional and efficient. (2) Hygienists were always very thorough with cleaning and acted engaged. (3) Dr. Rohleder is pretty fantastic. Very thorough, engaged, and did a nice job on a simple filling for me. Bad: (1) The practice charged a $25 PPE fee during COVID. This was the only healthcare office across all types (general, derm, etc.) that I saw do this and I found it opportunistic. (2) Dr. Arnold has an underdeveloped bedside manner and standard of care. I saw her twice (maybe three times) and each time she looked at my teeth, it was literally a drive-by. She didn't even touch any of the teeth with a tool and simply looked in my mouth and said "looks good." Yikes. It's also obvious that being engaging with patients is not natural to her. I believe she has since left the practice which is probably a good thing. read more

I have been traveling back and forth from the South East to Denver for the past 3 years after a decade in Denver, but have no intention of seeing another dentist other than Highland Smiles absent an emergency need. Each of Dr. Arnold and Dr. Rohleder, as well as the entire team, are fantastic. read more

I have been going here for more than 10 years. The service is always good, they have the latest technology, make their own crowns in store so you have less time spent. Highly recommend them. read more

Everyone here was so welcoming and kind! Allison is a rockstar and did an amazing cleaning, checking in to make sure I was comfortable the entire time. Both her and the dentist were so personable. I also love the scheduling/check in system - super easy! Will definitely be back read more

I had a tooth brake and I needed a crown. They fit me in on a Monday which was great(the tooth broke on a Sunday). Super friendly staff. Painless procedure. I was explained in detail what was going on and what would be happening. I appreciated that. The Dentist was obviously busy but never felt like she was rushing and was really nice! All the staff was really nice and for a Monday which also was a holiday I appreciated that too. They even checked when I first called if I might be covered for this. I wasn't. But that's life I'm just glad I found a place to fix it so fast and was painless all around. read more

Allyson gave me the best, precise, detailed dental cleaning (scaling) ever experienced. Jennifer Rohleder DDS carefully listens and responds to dental concerns. Nancy checks you out, professionally working on cost and scheduling of future appointments. read more

The best dentistry I've ever been to. Been going since 2015 and they are consistently amazing. Female led...great diversity among their staff...friendly environment...great care and service...it's a very well run operation they've got going on. I actually now look forward to going to the dentist! Never thought that was possible. read more

Beautiful People, Great smiles, superior skills. Well done! Well I guess this review is too short according to yelp so, one more thing the water they have purified with a distiller tastes good! read more

Always quick, thorough and friendly! When i needed an "emergency" root canal, the Dr. Called the Endodontist and they stood late for me with no issues at all! Made my uncomfortable situation a breeze! I have been a patient for a few years. I definitely recommend Highland Smiles! read more

Confession: I may or may not have skipped going to the dentist for about three years of adulthood. While getting dental work done is by no means something I look forward to, the folks at Highland Smiles have made it not so bad. I had a few friends suggest this office while I was searching for a Denver dentist, and I've been happy with my service over the past year. They filled the only cavity I've ever had, and while I was sort of (okay, really) nervous, it was super easy and painless (and they give you great throwback tunes to listen to!). Their hygienists do a really thorough job with cleanings, and Dr. Rohleder is sweet and easy to talk to. I'm also about to go through the (dreaded) process of getting my wisdom teeth out, and the staff at Highland Smiles was really helpful in navigating the implications of surgery and my insurance. Though I'll be due for my next appointment before the year is over, they gave me some options in case I reach my benefit limit for the year. I thought this was really helpful information and kind of them to share it! Parking can be a bit of an issue in that part of town, so I suggest getting there earlier than you think you need to. As some other reviewers have mentioned, they'll will email, call and text you to make sure you make it to your appointment. I'm a busy lady and appreciate that sort of follow up, but can understand how it could come off as a little much. At the end of the day, I totally recommend Highland Smiles for your shiny whites! read more

I've been coming to Highland Smiles for years! The staff is friendly and efficient. I have had crowns, fillings, cleanings, whitening, and even my teeth shaved down to be more uniform. They do it all. Highly recommend them! read more

Excellent friendly service and very happy staff ...they were very pleasant and quick. Thanks! read more

Beware of their 4-day / 34-hour work week! Also, beware of their many 5 star reviews to keep an overall high yelp rating. These two are hustlers not to be trusted. Please Read this review BEFORE having any major dental work done by these amateur dentists. For the record, I have great teeth, orthodontics when I was a teenager and filings that were about 25 years old. I began seeing Highland Smiles and Dr. Jennifer Rohleder when they were still a very small office and because they were rated in 5280 Magazine as one of the Top Dentists. However, their business model shifted once they decided to expand their office space and exponentially increase their chairs. It was a 2 year expansion and one would guess included a large small business loan. Anyway, about 2015/2016 is when the Highland Smiles "volume game" with bigger ticket dental cases started. I was told my old filings should be removed and should have crowns to save the tooth even though there was no major cavities. So, I was suckered into their crown install game. During the course of 3 years, I had 4 crowns put in. Each crown resulted in root canal within 6 months. Fast forward to present, I am seeing a top notch dentist who has had to replace and redo all 4 of Dr. Rohleder's crowns. He stated the teeth had aggressive work done to them which was not needed. Also, there was a lot of cement left on sides and edges of crowns along with my bite had been screwed up and misaligned for past 3 years due to the heights of crowns. Finally, there was little to no surface on crowns for upper/lower teeth to catch /lock with my jaw closed. Some additional background. The last two crowns Dr. Rohleder "replaced' was in 2019 and 2020 where she removed the crowns by drilling them out but then never came back to put in the replacement crowns. I find out this critical task was left to the technician/hygienist. I asked and never received an answer as to why the dentist would not come back to double check her overall work as well as my bite. This place is now just like a national franchise dental chain and have a very similar business operation model. Their ethics and honesty are questionable while they try to get as many people in and out of a chair in a day with minimum attention to quality for the patient. If you do not believe this review, check out these dentists vehicles in back parking lot...nearly $200K worth of cars. Also, being a small business, how do you afford to only be open 4 days a week and most of the month of December each year, with very large financial overhead? Simple, you perform quick, shotty work to as many patients as you can and bill as many insurance companies as possible 4 days a week.   If this review can convince just one person to avoid going to this dental practice and avoid the huge expenses, headaches and time, it is worth my effort. Also, if the 5280 Magazine would seriously wake up and not give these two dentists top awards until they can demonstrate sustainable quality results, it would be appreciated because they are probably some of the worst dentists in Denver. Thanks for reading. read more

Amazing staff! The hygienists are extremely thorough and gentle. Dr. Rholeder is incredible. She is so knowledgeable and kind.

From the month Dr Arnold opened her practice, I have been going to Highland Smiles. I love this practice. read more

Just moved to Denver. Hate going to the dentist- not so bad. this is the first time someone recommended laminating my sensitive teeth so the experience was much better. Knowledgeable, efficient and Nancy at the front desk is nothing short of super. What a great professional. We're happy to have found them. read more

Best dental experience I've had. Have been going here 5+ years. They are always professional, polite, and knowledgeable about all things dentistry. They treat each other with respect, as well as their patients. They are on top of all insurance questions. I have referred several people here because I know they know their stuff. Thank you Highland Smiles, so great to have you close by! read more

As a kid my mom worked in a Dentist office. She would always share horror stories about the number of bad Dentists out there, and the trauma it inflicted on people. I was lucky , she worked for one of the best. When I moved to Denver I struggled to find service on par with what I had grown up with. Fortunately my wife found Highland Smiles. They are definitely one of the good ones; professional, skilled, friendly and honest. Perhaps the most telling measure is my mother approves, which trust me when I say, that means a lot!! read more

I have been going to them for years and I feel that they have taken excellent care of me. All my work done there has been amazing and the hygienists and doctors are amazing. read more

I always have a great experience at Highland Smiles after I sought them out specifically for their sensitivity to my self proclaimed "dentist office anxiety" from having a nerve drilled a few times in the dentist chair. Even with the extra precautions they have everything planned out very well so that you arrive, text the hygienist, take your temperature and are in the seat in just minutes. The two cleanings I've had during quarantine have gone as normal and the team at Highland Smiles is taking extra care to keep things safe for visitors. Highly recommend if you're looking for a safe, reliable place to get your teeth cleaned during COVID! read more
