What to Bring
Before arriving at our Adolescent Dental Clinic, ensure you have everything you need to ensure the appointment is as quick and straightforward as possible. Please bring the following to your first visit:
Completed patient forms.
Current x-rays from within the past two years from your dental provider should be emailed to CUDT@ucdenver.edu (this email is not for referrals).

What to Expect
Your appointment will include a comprehensive evaluation for professional teeth cleaning. When we examine your mouth, we will also let you know if we recommend braces. Dental x-rays will also be taken during your first appointment to determine the status of your oral health and whether or not wisdom teeth need to be removed.
After determining a treatment plan, you can schedule the necessary follow-up appointments. Make sure to schedule twice-a-year preventative checkups so your teen or child can effectively maintain their beautiful smile.
We accept cash, checks (with ID), debit cards, credit cards, CHP+, and Health First Colorado (formerly Medicaid). You can also conveniently make bill payments online.
