Dr. Kendra L. Patterson graduated from the University of Mississippi School of Dentistry in 1993. Immediately following graduation, she completed a General Dentistry residency. For the next 9 years Dr. Patterson practiced in Mississippi holding two associate positions in two general dentistry practices. She also served as a dentist at two public health facilities, and was a contract dentist at Keesler Air Force base.
In 2003 she moved to Colorado and purchased the practice from Dr. Quentin Dahm. This particular practice was established before 1940 and many patients have been coming to the practice for decades. Many families have members of multiple generations that currently receive care at the practice.
Dr. Patterson continues to operate her establishment as a solo practice, whose main focus is to provide general dental care to patients of all ages throughout their lifetime. It is not unheard of to have a 3 year old patient and a 90 year old patient both in the office at the same time! The office team strives to see our patients on time, every time, and to serve one patient at a time. Special attention is given to make sure that each individual feels comfortable while in the office, and that they have entered a warm and inviting atmosphere filled with compassionate hearts.
When not practicing dentistry, Dr. Patterson enjoys experiencing the beautiful scenery of Colorado. She enjoys collecting and trying new recipes to share with her friends and family. Book recommendations are always welcome as Dr. Patterson participates in two book clubs.

If your mouth is always dry, your enjoyment of food and your overall health may be negatively impacted. Dry mouth, otherwise known as xerostomia, can be caused by dehydration, certain medications, weather conditions, autoimmune diseases, and diabetes. Loss of saliva can lead to an increase in mouth acidity, a decrease in the ability to wash away food particles from teeth that leads to tooth decay, and a decrease in the ability to properly digest foods.

BEWARE! I wasn't going to write this review until my brother recently contacted me with similar issues... My brother and I went to Kendra for years based on a recommendation from the doctor's office next door. She'd only work 20 hours a week and somehow would "find" a cavity or something to fix every time we both went in. A cavity is determined by the dentist's opinion but hers was always very loose. We both received different recommendations from other dentists when we received second opinions... I guess she's trying to make up for the other 20 hours a week she doesn't work. If you go to her and she finds something I would get a second opinion or just go somewhere else...

Dr. Patterson is a very good dentist and I recommend her highly. She knows her stuff, but at the same time she is very sweet and has her patient's best interest uppermost in her mind. She was very helpful in educating me on the proper care of some problem teeth I have.

Dr. Patterson is highly trained and has a tremendous amount of experience. She was very helpful to a relative of mine who had chipped a tooth. Dr. Patterson worked her in on very short notice. The result was very satisfactory. I would recommend Dr. Patterson to anyone who is looking for a dentist who is very competent, compassionate, and efficient.

Dr. Patterson and staff are really great. My husband's family has seen her for many years and I have been a patient for four years now. Everyone is knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. My 3 year old son is very comfortable during his visits. My work's dental insurance does not carry Dr. Patterson but we still choose to see her. I value having a consistent dental provider that knows me and my family.

Dr. Kendra Patterson is the only dentist I trust with my dental needs and my daughter's dental needs. She's conservative and only prescribes treatment that is necessary. She is such a personable, ethical and caring dentist and I will drive all the way from Thornton for my appointments with her for as long as she is practicing!
