We offer Comprehensive Dental Care Services

It is recommended to have your teeth cleaned at least twice a year.

One of the best things you can do to maintain oral health is consistently receiving thorough dental cleanings. We have wonderful hygienists who take their responsibilities very seriously, and they will effectively and gently clean your teeth. If you need to improve your hygiene, they will not “yell” at you but will show you how to optimize your cleaning techniques.

We have the best Hygienists in the whole world! (at least, we think so). We schedule most patients for routine cleanings twice a year. However, some patients have gingivitis or periodontal disease. We will evaluate your condition and provide a customized treatment plan that will work for you.

We offer crowns and bridges.

In the past several years, dental materials for all-porcelain crowns have greatly improved. This means that the dark grey metal line that shows around older crowns has now been eliminated. Most all porcelain crowns are now as strong as metal and have a life-like appearance. Our patients have been very pleased with their results, and we can show you before and after pictures of cases we have completed.

We work well with children!

We treat the entire family, including your children. We will refer out the most difficult cases, but we find that most kids do very well in our practice (especially if Mom is good!).

Full & Partial Dentures

Dentures are a blessing and a curse. While many individuals have adapted and do well with their dentures, others never become comfortable and have difficulty functioning with theirs. While we do not have a large patient base with dentures, we will be able to help you evaluate your situation and what options you have for future treatment. We will likely refer the most involved cases to a local specialist. Many new procedures are available that combine implants and dentures to provide better function and comfort.

Healthy Teeth Start with Healthy Gums

Some patients require more than just a traditional cleaning. Often this is due to genetic or systemic conditions beyond the patients’ control. And…some patients just need to brush and floss their teeth better! Regardless of how these patients ended up in this condition, we can help them diagnose and treat their periodontal situation. We do most “deep cleanings” in the office, and if the condition improves, we can help maintain and improve your oral health. If your periodontal disease has progressed to where a specialist would better serve you, we can refer you to a periodontist and work with you and them to optimize your treatment.

The most common restorative dentistry procedure

We place only the highest quality tooth-colored composite fillings. We consistently monitor dental publications and use the highest-rated products throughout our practice.

Root canals have a bad reputation, but they shouldn’t! They are extremely effective at eliminating the pain caused by an infected tooth and reducing the associated swelling. The “bad” root canal stories you hear about generally occur when people have waited too long for treatment. The sooner you get this treated, the less painful it will be. At Christiansen Dental, your Centennial CO dentists, we have completed hundreds of successful root canal treatments because we like helping people alleviate their pain!

One of the most common causes of dental pain is a bacterial infection that has started inside a damaged tooth. This usually begins as a deep decay or trauma to the tooth. Many will take over-the-counter medications for this pain to see if it will stop. Still, after more than 4 or 5 days, this medication will not help if the tooth is infected. Endodontic treatment must remove the infection before the pain can be eliminated.

We will apply dental anesthesia and numb the entire area. We offer Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) or oral medication to help with dental anxiety.

We start by using an instrument to access the infected area inside the tooth and clean it using disinfecting liquids and rotary instruments to remove the infection and debris inside the canals of the tooth roots.

After everything is clean and dry, we will seal the tooth's root canals. When this is complete, each root is protected against future bacterial infection, and the tooth and the tissue around the tooth will heal.

Most say it wasn’t worse than a large filling or crown appointment. You will feel much better after the treatment!

Successful endodontic treatment can save your natural tooth for many years. Teeth in the back that have a root canal need a crown placed on them to give them strength, but teeth in the front often need only a simple filling to restore them to function.

We do the most necessary oral surgery in our office.
