I have always been afraid of the Dental chair, however Dr Frederick put me at ease right away. He was fast, painless and I have never had a crown feel so comfortable.

BEST hygienist I've ever had. She was very thorough and explained everything along the way. She showed much concern about my dental cleaning and issues that I had. She took the time to NOT hurt me and I look forward to meeting back with her in 6 weeks.

I was really pleased that they were able to get me in within two days and at a time that worked for my hectic schedule.

He procedure went quickly and easily. I felt extremely comfortable with the two of you. Front office staff is Great too!

I've hopped around dentists looking for a "home" and this place is great. The dentists and the hygienists here are friendly and competent. They have a sonic cleaning system which does a great job with no scraping. They are also high-tech - everything is computerized and modern. They haven't pushed extra services, and they've gotten me in on short notice before. I highly recommend them.

Everyone was kind and listened to my concerns, never felt rushed. It was a pleasant experience

I went in because of a special they had going. The x-rays and dentist consult went great, they were nice and helpful. Then I was handed to a hygienist for cleaning and immediately realized her smile was very fake and forced. She complained about my tartar buildup but only spent about 5 minutes painfully cleaning me. When I sat up my teeth didn't feel smooth like they usually do but she said she was all done. She rushed me down to the front desk and then I saw her out of her scrubs and leaving before my bill had even printed out. When I got home I saw that she had missed a lot of scraping and gouged several holes in my gums.

I recently switched dentists because my former one no longer took my insurance. When I went in for my appointment, the hygienist probed my gums, measuring the gum line. She was not gentle and it was a painful experience. She said I had periodontal disease and would need a deep cleaning. In addition she refused to do a regular cleaning. Of course the deep cleaning cost much more. I went ahead and had the deep cleaning. As a result they destroyed a tooth that had a filling. They informed me that the tooth was bridle, yet they continued with the deep cleaning, and applied so much pressure that the tooth broke apart. Now I need to replace the tooth, which cost thousands of dollars. Colorado Dental Group was more than happy to work on my broken tooth…at my expense. I contacted my old dentist and told him what happened and he said I did not need the deep cleaning. I also went to a new dentist for a third opinion and he examined my teeth and he agreed; no deep cleaning needed.

Very unhappy. Poor customer service. I've had issues with billing and the quality of service. When I try to get clarification on some of the issues I'm always promised a phone call back to discuss the issues. They don't return the calls.

Dr. Peak and his staff at All Smiles Denistry really do seem to care about their patients. The hygienists are great with the kids and I've always been impressed when the hygienist/doctor calls to check in on us after any major procedure. The staff is very down to earth. I also like know that many of the staff members volunteer on the weekends at Mission Dental (free service clinic for individuals with special needs)... just another piece of evidence to me that they care about their work and others.
