Fantastic experience: Excellent Service! Expert dentistry performed by an exceptional dentist. Dr. Elson is practical and balanced. Not like so many dentist these days who's prime focus seems to be making themselves or their practice the most $$ possible. I highly recommend Dr.Elson!

Fantastic experience: What a great dental office. Right from Lauren to the hygienist Katelyn and Dr Elson all were so caring and so thorough. Wonderful experience. I would highly recommend Dr Elson and his staff. Geri Noyes
Fantastic experience: Always friendly and great care! Thank you Dr Elson and Gianna and staff!
Fantastic experience: I always have a wonderful experience everyone is so helpful and considerate. Most important you never rush your services . Thank you for being a great dentist office!
Thank you for your kind words..
Fantastic experience: Lauren was so kind this morning when I called to explain my need to cancel an appointment. I've been seeing Dr. Elson for 20+ years and everyone is professional, personable and understanding.
Fantastic experience: Great! I've been seeing Chris for over 30 years -- takes great care of me and my wife. Last visit, molar pain was investigated; pain relieved satisfactorily, subsequent visit for root canal scheduled. Wonderful staff, attentive to issues, and always professional, personable and friendly. I highly recommend Chris and his team!
Fantastic experience: It’s always a pleasure to depend upon Dr.Elson’s expertise. Always feel he has my best interests and provides awesome care. All my family members go to his office. Four generations
Fantastic experience: As someone who has not had positive experiences at dentist offices over the years, my visit to Dr. Elson‘s office today was spectacular! The office team, the hygienist and of course Dr. Elson were all amazing. My teeth were cleaned with no pain! I commented that I’ve never been in a dentist office where everyone is laughing and generally upbeat and positive. I am actually looking forward to my next visit. That is a statement I have never made before for any other dentist!
Fantastic experience: The best dentist in Denver.
Fantastic experience: Dr Elson is the best dentist ever! He is always asking how you are doing and gets the work done as efficiently as possible. Plus he is clear on what each procedure will cost with my insurance so there are never any surprises
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Dr Elson for many years - he is the kindest, gentlest and most intelligent dentist there is. He takes time with his patients and genuinely cares about them. If anyone needs the best dentist, see Dr Elson. Also, his staff reflects his professional beliefs, skills and comforting qualities. What a wonderful office! Thank you to each and every one of them! (I would give them 100 stars if I could)
Positive experience: Was a good job, but I wish you would have finished the last filling. Really wished when you left you would have let me know you weren't coming back to finish the job. I'm sure you assistant is OK but she isn't you. I did have to return because there was a very sharp edge left on tooth. It is now 9pm and the pain is setting in ,which I didn't expect to he quite this bad. Can't help but wonder if something wasn't done correctly because you didn't finish my tooth yourself or if it is just normal for this kind of procedure to hurt a little worse than most fillings. Nobody said anything to me when I left so I really don't know. Just not the kind of care I am used to from your office.
Thanks for your kind review!
Fantastic experience: Dr Elson is incredibly talented. My whole family goes to see him.
Fantastic experience: BEST DENTIST (Dr. Chris Elson & team!! I love that they are independently owned vs. “chain dental care”. I would highly!!!!! Recommend them to visit for Personal & professional care! Plus, he has a brilliant sense of Humor!
Fantastic experience: I LOVE DR. ELSON AND HIS STAFF! Literally the happiest dental office I’ve ever been to! My family has been going here for years. I trust Docs judgement. Love that he’s conservative and will try to preserve the tooth as much as possible before doing more serious procedures such as root canals. My kids have beautiful smiles without braces because of the treatments they received while their smiles were developing. It’ll be a sad day when Dr. Elson decides to retire.
Fantastic experience: They got me right in. Dr Elson explained exactly what needed to be done and why to help with my jaw popping. I never feel like they’re trying to upsell when I’m there.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Dr. Elson for close to 30 years. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Elson! Unless he moves out of state or retires early, I won’t go to anyone else! If I could give 10 stars, I’d give 12!!
Fantastic experience: Very thorough cleaning and pain free. Thanks to the Doc and his staff!
Fantastic experience: fantastic job courteous staff was willing to work with me for my schedule. Dr. Elson is both educational as well as charismatic and brings an error of health and well-being to his practice that I have seen in a few other dentist because it is also done with pride.
Fantastic experience: Best dentist ever.!!! Thank you for taking such good care of me❤️
Fantastic experience: Dr. Elson is personable and is conservative in his approach to care for your teeth. He doesn't do a procedure just to make more money off of you and the insurance company. He is a genuinely honest dentist, which is hard to find.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, my family and I have been going to him for a while now. Dr Elson and his staff are always so nice and great to work with!
Fantastic experience: From the front office staff to the hygienist to Dr Elson they are always pleasant and professional. See you in 6 months!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Elson is friendly, caring, and really listens. He uses state-of-the-art 3D imaging for superior diagnostic precision that’s painless, non-invasive, and uses lower radiation. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Great dentist and wonderful staff. From Lorayn scheduling appointments, Ilene gentle dental assistance, Cheryl is the best-ever Teeth cleaner, and Jennifer is so kind and always , Dr. Elson is a smart, well researched dentist who provides detailed dental exams and gently fixes my problem teeth. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Elson has been my dentist for over 30 years! His practice is top notch and takes excellent care of my teeth. Highly recommend him and his staff. Cheryl is the best at thoroughly cleaning my fangs!
Thank you for your kind words Nora!
Fantastic experience: Great dentist! Takes great care of his patients! Only dentist I've used for over 30 years.
Fantastic experience: Dr Elson and his team are the best! Always cheerful, helpful and accommodating. Most important, he and his team genuinely care about your dental health and are the very best. I travel 54 miles today for my appointment and would never consider a dentist located closer to me. Do yourself a favor, and go with the best dentist and dental team in the state. Bill
Negative experience: Honestly, have a horrible time every time I go the hygienist makes me feel awful about myself and talks down to me every time I show up she’s so annoying. It makes me dread going and the dentist himself will talk to you about everything except your teeth and you will have no idea what’s going on ever he overcharges for a lot of of his procedures he also did my root canal and did not fully clean it out and did not put a cap on it. Avoid this place at all cost.
Fantastic experience: Great dentist. Friendly, competent and professional. I am a new patient and wish I had been going here for years
Fantastic experience: Dr. Elson and his staff are amazing! They took special care of my 92 yr old mom. Dr. saved her from having 4 teeth extracted by an oral surgeon and from getting dentures. He worked with her existing partial and saved her several thousand dollars and a great deal of recovery time, pain and appointments. I highly recommend Dr. Elson and his caring staff, and plan on changing to his care myself!! I just had my appointment with Dr Elson and he did amazing work on my front teeth. Once again, the staff was very welcoming, and I highly recommend becoming a patient of Dr Elson! Mom is now 97, and Dr Elson and his staff are so careful with her and go out of their way to make her as comfortable as they can. Dr Elson is a master at his craft and has saved mom thousands of dollars by repairing her bridge countless times, even though it doesn't seem possible to save it. My husband and I also see Dr Elson and have referred several friends and family members to switch their care to him. He and his staff are hard to match in a very competitive business, and we're here to stay! 12/4/2025 Doctor Elson helped my mom, once again. His office manager, Lauren got mom right in to have her lower tooth repaired. He fixed it immediately, and mom is feeling so much better! Thank you, once again for your patience and care to my 97 year old mom!
Fantastic experience: I love the doc! Been coming here for a very long time. You hardly notice he's in your mouth. That's awesome for me, because I've always been somewhat afraid of dental procedures. Don't wait, this guy is great!
Fantastic experience: Always pleasant, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, this amazing dental practice is AMAZING.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Elson is a wonderful Dentist. Very caring and listens to your needs

All his staff is very knowledgeable and proficient at their position. I would highly recommend this team to anyone needing a dentist.
Fantastic experience: Went to my first appointment based off the reviews I read. When I called to set up and appointment I thought I would have to wait to get a broken tooth checked out when they could get me in for a cleaning. They had something available for a few days away from when I called. I went to the visit yesterday and thought it was just going to be a check and xrays. To my surprise I was greeted by Dr Elson and upon a quick look and xray examine which he walked me through he surprised me with telling me he could fill it right then. It was so quick and he made sure painless. I am walking away with a fully built tooth and only minimal aching overnight. So happy to have found a new Dentist!
Fantastic experience: What I love the most is it isn't all about the money. Everyone in Dr. Elson's office is about caring for your teeth and providing a pleasant, comfortable experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Chris and his staff. Shout out to my hygienist Cheryl. She is the best.
