Same-day crowns are one of restorative dental services that were proud to offer! But do you know what this procedure involves, or if its right for you? Lets get into the nitty-gritty of porcelain crowns:
Adental crown is simply a cap that is placed over a damaged tooth or implant post to restore the shape, size, strength, and appearance of a tooth. Unlike dental veneers, crowns fully encase the full visible portion of the affected tooth or teeth.
Because dental crowns are designed to functionally replace and restore damaged teeth, they are most commonly used in order to restore a broken or worn-down tooth or to protect a weakened or cracked tooth. Crowns are also commonly used to support teeth with unusually large fillings, in which not much natural tooth remains.
The first step of getting a crown on your tooth is to use local anesthetic like Novocaine to numb the affected tooth and surrounding area. Then, impressions will be taken of the tooth in order to fabricate a perfectly shaped, natural-looking crown.
Once the tooth has been sufficiently numbed, the next step is to prepare the tooth. This involves removing a small amount of tooth and filling material in order to shape the tooth for a secure-fitting crown. If decay is discovered underneath prior fillings, it is removed during this step.
Once the tooth is shaped, another impression is taken to shape the inside of the crown for a secure and precise fit. The same-day crown is then created while you wait, and is cemented permanently over the shaped tooth!

I am a 79-year old male. For 30 years my wife and I lived in Vail, CO. When it became necessary to have my wife's cancer treated with chemo we knew we had to move to the Denver area since the treatment required was not available in Vail. In 2019 we moved to Castle Rock. We were referred to a dental practice in Greenwood Village by our Vail dentist. That practice was fine but I fell in love with my dental hygienist. She was as good or better than our hygienist in Vail. In early 2022 I was informed by our hygienist that she (Ms. Kelly O'Brien Huff) was moving to another dental practice. I had an allegiance to Kelly but not to the dental practice she was leaving. So I followed Kelly to the Cottonwood Dental Group and Dr. Sarah Parsons. I could not be happier. I have Kelly and Dr. Sarah who is right there with my 30-year Vail dentist. My only interaction with Dr. Sarah (whose Mom & Dad are both dentists, now retired) has been an oral exam and X-rays. Dr. Sarah knows my only goal with oral health is "to keep what I have". No unnecessary procedures except for what is truly needed. I see Kelly 3x yearly and Dr. Sarah at least 1x yearly or when Kelly thinks it is necessary. The Front Office is in full command of a very smart lady named Ursula. I promise nothing gets by Ms. Ursula. Dr. Sarah is fortunate to have such a great team. You cannot go wrong by choosing Cottonwood Dental Group for your family's dental care. Period!!!

Dentist herself was good. Its difficult to get a time scheduled however with the limited hours. Billing is also ridiculous as it took months to never receive a statement. After trying to confirm contact info multiple times they still couldn't get it right. Just a pain and not to mention overpriced.

Really bad billing experience. I asked if they took our insurance they said yes but after I got billed hundreds of dollars because they are out of network. I asked the front desk up front if they are in network and she kept avoiding my questions. Never ever again. I lost so much money at this place. Never had such a bad experience like this before.

The dental work was fine, but I'm extremely disappointed in their disorganized billing that's costing me hundreds of dollars months later. I thought the upfront cost was high to begin with, and I left the office thinking I had paid in full. Turns out, that wasn't correct, and I'm now being back charged late fees. I was supposed to have a follow up with them, but that will not be happening unless they can rectify this.

I so very much love this office and Dr. Sarah is absolutely the best so professional but down-to-earth at the same time. I truly wish I would have found my way to this office 4 years before I did.

If I could give 100 stars I would!! I made an appointment here after putting off the dentist for way longer than I'd like to admit, and based on my experience I will never dread the dentist again. Jessie, Ann, and Dr. Sarah are all incredibly empathetic and the best at what they do- they make sure you're informed of everything without being patronizing, and communication/scheduling/billing is the easiest and most efficient process ever. Even knowing they have a ton of patients (I would have had to wait a month to get in for an appointment, but like I said, ridiculously effective communication- they were able to get me into two day of cancellations within two weeks!), these women make you feel like you are the highest priority. I can't speak highly enough of this office!

Dr. Parsons does not tell patients up front about costs. She also goes into great detail to make a small deal out of something small. The wait time at this office is often 15 mins past the appointment. The entire establishment is a giant disappointment. Do not be deceived by the good reviews.

Absolutely LOVE Dr. Parsons and the whole team at Cottonwood Dental! LOVE! I didn't even know I could LOVE the dentist's office, but I stand firmly corrected. They are so nice, so fun, excellent pricing structure and membership if you don't have dental insurance. I think the whole time I was there I was laughing or smiling while getting my teeth cleaned?! Gorgeous practice, but like any really great business, it's the people that will leave a mark on your heart. I recommend this practice to anyone from a huge family, to just one person like me.

I'd definitely not recommend going here for two reasons: 1.Disorganized/dishonest billing 2.Bad/Painful dental work My experience contradicts the mostly positive reviews cottonwood has received. When I scheduled my first visit, I checked to insure Cottonwood accepted my insurance. I was told they did. Upon completion of the appointment in January, I asked that they complete the billing process in the next couple of weeks because my insurance was changing. They said that would not be a problem. Earlier this week, over 5 months later and after 4-5 calls, they finally competed the billing and now say that they do not accept my insurance. My bill is over $1100 for a cleaning after having been told insurance would cover it. The bill is a mess with hand written notes and contradictory charges. With Cottonwood, I had a cleaning done and a night guard ordered. The night guard was made incorrectly the first time due to a bad mold so I had to have a second mold made. After going back once again the night guard still does not fit and I cannot use it (it cost over $600). Secondly, the cleaning was the most painful I've had and my gums were a mess afterward with visible scaring. The hygienist complained multiple times that this was taking too long (it was my first cleaning in a couple years) so I guess she didn't have time to make sure she didn't shred up my gums. She said my gums were "getting a work out". Again, I would really make sure not to go here. They seem like nice people though! Really wish I could recommend their practice.

Cottonwood Dental has been taking care of me since 1999 and not only am I more than satisfied with the care I have been provided over the years, I feel like a member of the family. It's a great team, very professional, and they truly care.
