My goal is to help individuals improve their dental health, and in doing so, help them get excited about their ability to raise all levels of their health. Whether it is creating a beautiful smile, restoring function so they can enjoy eating a great dinner, or dealing with a crisis involving a painful tooth, the positive experiences our patients have in our office has led to significant changes in their attitude about themselves and the trust we have been able to establish with them.

Its rewarding to be a part of helping an individual obtain a level of health he or she never thought possible. My passion is centered around helping individuals make positive choices in their life that raises all aspects of their health, and gives them the freedom to run a 10K race, get on their bike and ride the Rockies, hike with their kids, or lose weight. These can be done in baby steps or show up as an avalanche of healthy choices all at once. I love it when I can be part of the process.

Dentistrys knowledge base, like so many other areas in the world today, is changing rapidly. Continuing education plays an important role in delivering excellence. My team and I are committed to making it a vital part of our office.

During the course of the 12 month general practice residency I completed, I received advanced training in IV conscious sedation, endodontics, dental implants, prosthetics, and surgery. I have completed the highest level sedation course offered by DOCS Education (a leading education authority teaching sedation in the United States) in 2019 to reinforce my sedation skills.

Throughout the year I am taking various continuing education courses to continue my lifelong journey of learning and to become the best clinician that I can. In addition to standalone CE courses, I am a member of the Western Slope Spear Study Club. Spear Education is a nationally recognized comprehensive CE curriculum focused on providing superior esthetic results that rest on a biologically sound and functional foundation.

Being from Southwest Missouri, I have always had respect for nature and appreciated mountain biking, lake activities, and small town living. In my free time I enjoy playing music, mountain biking, snowboarding, and cross training for these activities with my girlfriend, Mikayla, and our dog, Jax. I also enjoy spending time with my family and keeping up with current trends in dentistry.

We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.

Also a new addition to the Today's Family Dental team. Allie has 13 years of dental experience which has been utilized in General; Esthetic and Pediatric dental settings. Born and raised in Denver, CO, she began her dental journey in Boulder. She has spent time learning her trade in foreign contries where she has learned to communicate effictively in both English and Spanish. Allie spends her free time with her husband Raul and her son Harper, taking in all that the Roaring Fork Valley has to offer.

She grew up in a small town in Nebraska. She received her Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene from the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry in 2001. Shortly after graduation, she moved to Denver where she worked for a practice in Wheat Ridge for over 17 years. She and her husband, Dennis, relocated to the Roaring Fork Valley in 2018 when he accepted a position as Chief Clinical Officer of Momenta Recovery. Over her 19 years of practice, Mandy has enjoyed getting to know her patients and earning their trust while educating them on the vital role their dental hygiene plays in their whole-body health. In her free time, she likes to hike with her two pups, bike, ski, travel, read, watch her beloved Cornhuskers, and spend time with her family and friends. She looks forward to seeing you in her chair soon!

  • A compassionate team who enjoy living in our small community and have chosen to pursue clinical excellence in our dental practice. We love our work and our play, and we are intensely committed to both.

    Connor and the team are great. They are thorough and have a personalized touch, always addressing the health and comfort of the patient. Best dental experience I've had in the valley. Do yourself a favor and get your dental care from this business!

    Sadly after almost 30 years, Dr. Cook is retiring. The new dentist will no longer honor or accept my insurance. Dr. Cook always accepted which ever insurance my employer provided.

    Finally got myself back to the dentist after a couple year hiatus and Dr. Cook and his staff were extremely helpful to me. From Torrey at the front, to Allie, Mandy and Dr. Cook everyone was welcoming and very professional. Setting up my appointments and dealing with insurance was handled easily by Torrey at the front. Mandy was informative and thorough in my cleaning. Allie and Dr. Cook took it from there and gave me great feedback as to what was going on with my teeth, etc.. Thanks to everyone in the office!

    Mark Cook is an ok dentist.But processing our insurance was a nightmare. My wife spent months trying to straighten out our account and was constantly met with an unpleasant and unhelpful attitude.We finally gave up and moved on to another dentist.

    I am getting veneers put on my front four teeth (I grind my teeth at night and ground them down significantly) and have been putting it off for some time as I have had some bad experiences in the past with other Dentists. In some ways I am grateful I put it off because I could not imagine a better experience anywhere else. The entire procedure was painless and Ally and Dr. Cook explained the process to me as we went along so I felt very comfortable every step of the way. Even though I am in my temporary teeth they look amazing!!! The work Dr. Cook did is spectacular and I can not wait to get my permanent teeth in. If you are looking for cosmetic dentistry I highly recommend Today's Family Dental.

    I've been using Dr. Cook for years. He is knowledgeable, can deal with most anything, and will refer you out to someone if he isn't comfortable with a certain procedure. He is also welcoming, friendly and real. I am glad that I found him to take care of our teeth :).
