Frequently Asked Questions

How many dentists are in Heather Gardens?

There are likely between 18 and 22 dentists in Heather Gardens, CO. This gives patients many options; however, when determining what kind of dental care you are looking for, you may want to narrow your search based on various factors. Location, payment options, specialty, operating hours, etc., are all important considerations, and it’s why Mauck & Ricci, DDS, remains one of the most reliable and sought-after dentists in the area.

With decades of experience, our dentists treat everyone like family. Welcoming patients of all ages, we prioritize comfort and convenience, making it easy for everyone you love to get the care they need all under one roof.

What is the best way to find a cosmetic dentist?

There is no formal specialization for cosmetic dentistry so general dentists can provide these services without additional education. However, advanced training is essential if veneers, teeth whitening, and other similar treatments are to be administered.

If you want to find a cosmetic dentist near Heather Gardens you can trust, you’ll want to look for someone involved in one or more professional organizations, such as the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry (AAED), the Las Vegas Institute, etc.

Dr. Ricci is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, so he is actively engaged in furthering his knowledge, skills, and services in the field. This is a clear indicator that he cares about providing the best possible results for his patients.

What do you do if you can’t afford a dentist?

Feeling as if you cannot afford the dentist should not lead you to miss appointments, cancel visits, or continually reschedule for a later date. Instead, this will only worsen your symptoms and increase your risk of more severe infection, damage, or declining oral health.

Instead, ask your dentist’s office if they take dental insurance, offer financing, or provide an in-house membership plan you can take advantage of when discussing payment options. Most practices welcome PPO plans and are happy to file claims on a patient’s behalf.

Our team at Mauck & Ricci, DDS, is not only in-network Delta Dental Premier, but we’re happy to file all other claims to help patients receive the maximum reimbursement.

How do I find the best place to get dental work done?

To determine where you will find the best place to get dental work done, you will need to consider what is most important to you. What are the non-negotiables, and what can you compromise on?

A few things you might want to consider include:

  • The location of the dentist’s office and how far you must drive from home or work
  • Whether the dentist sees only adults or children and families as well
  • Are they a specialist or general dentist?
  • What are their operating hours? Are they conducive to your family’s schedule?
  • Do they provide multiple payment options, or do they accept dental insurance?

Asking yourself these questions can help you narrow your search for a dentist near Heather Gardens. What you will find is that our dentists meet the mark for each one, providing outstanding service and care to patients of all ages. With a dental practice just minutes away, you can trust that you’re never too far to get the oral healthcare you need.
