Dr. Carlile grew up in a small town in Southern Illinois. He received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree in 1992 from Southern Illinois University, and headed west for the beautiful Rocky Mountains. When he first arrived in Colorado, he worked as an associate dentist in a prestigious dental office at the Littleton Hospital Office Complex. In 1996 he began his own dental practice, formally known throughout the Southwest Denver area as Carlile Dental Care.
Now named Columbine Family Dental, our practice has grown to become a trusted, and highly respected cornerstone of family dentistry in the greater Denver Metropolitan area. Dr. Carlile has always maintained a strong emphasis on developing a cutting edge technical practice, with state of the art equipment, but never lost his natural gift of treating patients with that small town sense of customer service, and personalized care, that he began with over 20 years ago.
Dr. Carliles faith and family are the foundation for the life he has built here in Colorado. He feels fortunate to get to spend much time with his grand kids. Dr. Carlile is a great outdoors-man, and enjoys a bounty of activities that take him out of doors to enjoy our exceptional Colorado weather. He especially loves taking a hike or trail ride with his wife and their beloved horses and dogs on a Sunday afternoon.

Everyone was so nice and friendly! Karen was very thorough and I loved listening to her talk about where tartar and plaque come from and how cavities form. It was a great way to pass the time. Dr. Carlile was friendly and knowledgeable. I can see why my husband has been coming to this practice since he was a kid! Thank you everyone!

Excellent knowledgeable care! Well-trained staff, well-run office, latest up to date equipment. Dr Carlyle knows his stuff. Head and shoulders above any previous dental care I've had in the past. He's caught stuff my previous dentists totally ignored. Highly recommended.

I have been going to Dr. Carlile for many years now. After being out of the country for almost 3 years I came back to get an exam and cleaning and it was as great as ever! The staff at Columbine Family Dental is so welcoming and really do a great job staying updated on not only your dental health but always ask and take interest in what is going on in your life. It's always such a joy going to the dentist! Thanks everyone at Columbine Family Dental!

I love all of the hygienists. This morning I had Vicki for the first time and she was great! She explained every step of the cleaning which I've had done tons of times but she explained it more than I've had it explained which was nice. Everybody is super friendly and gentle. Dr. Carlisle is great and always has a solution. Love this dentist, and I don't like the dentist.

Dr. Carlile has been our family dentist for nearly 25 years. We have consistently received excellent and friendly professional service from Dr. Carlile and his staff over the years. As a result, I have referred numerous family members and friends to him. One family member travels well over an hour to see him. He's that good!

Fantastic experience! I know, who says that about a dentist visit. But, seriously, I had a great experience. I showed up early, and got out earlier than I expected. And, the office staff are friendly toward each other too. That tells me the atmosphere is good and they work together. Thank you Dr. Carlile, for wonderful care and good management.

I went in for a cleaning today and the service I received was excellent. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing answer any questions I have, or address any concerns. I highly recommend this office for anyone who is looking for a dentist that you actually look forward to seeing. I have been a patient for over 20 years and have no intention of leaving.
