Colorado Springs Top Dentists 2017

We all know that a healthy mouth contributes to a healthy body; but did you know that it also contributes to a healthy mind?
The life benefits provided by a smile are immeasurable. In addition to communicating a sense of wellbeing and confidence to those who view it, smiling, according to the Consumer Guide to Dentistry, lowers one’s stress and anxiety levels, as well as heart rate. In addition, it releases endorphins, chemicals that actually make you happier.
So how does one obtain the optimum smile? Brushing and flossing daily are a must. But when more is required, whether it be cosmetic or structural, hopefully the following list of 2017 Top Dentists will provide you insight into some of our city’s best.
Do keep in mind, however, there are numerous highly qualified dentists in Colorado Springs, and your relationship with and confidence in your existing dentist is extremely important, as is geographic location, insurance coverage and personal history. It’s simply our goal to keep our readers informed, and most importantly healthy.
Who conducted the survey?
Colorado Springs Style, working in conjunction with the Colorado Springs Dental Society and an independent public relations and marketing firm, conducted the survey.
Who was surveyed?
All active and licensed Colorado Springs dentists, who are members in good-standing with the Colorado Springs Dental Society, were eligible to participate.
What instructions were they given in order to complete the survey?
Voting was held online from March 1-15, 2017. Dentists who visited the site were instructed to vote by entering up to four names under general family dentistry and one each in all remaining categories. Those nominated reflect the doctors they would refer a friend or family member to, should the need arise.
Did specialists vote solely on their own specialty, and vice-versa for general dentists?
No, all dentists could vote across the board.
Could a dentist vote for her- or himself?
Technically, yes, but most dentists only recommended their colleagues.
Are the dentists listed in any particular order?
The dentists are listed by specialty, in alphabetical order, as specified by the American Dental Association.
Were respondents allowed to make comments?
This is a straight listing. No comments were allowed to influence the final list.
How is this an objective listing?
Dentistry is a branch of medicine that relies heavily on dentists referring to one another. Their insight is a very effective method of determining who is well respected in their field.
Was any additional research done on those nominated?
Once the ballots were complete, each nominee was carefully evaluated on the basis of the survey results, the legitimacy of their license, and their current standing with the Colorado Springs Dental Society.
Can doctors pay to be on The List?
No compensation of any kind from dentists is accepted in return for being included in The List, nor are dentists paid for their participation in the survey.
