SERVING WESTWOOD • SE HABLA ESPAÑOL
Patients from Westwood are welcome at Star Dental, located at 1490 S Sheridan Blvd, Unit 102, near Sheridan Boulevard and Florida Avenue. Explore services, Spanish-language support, Medicaid information and practical visit planning.
LOCAL VISIT PLANNING
Understanding a dental recommendation is part of making an informed decision. Spanish-speaking Star Dental staff can help patients explain symptoms, schedule visits and discuss treatment and benefit questions. Patients should tell the office about their preferred language and any interpretation needs when calling so the team can plan communication for the visit.
The practice sees children and adults for preventive, restorative and urgent concerns. A household may need different appointment types: one person may be due for an examination and cleaning, while another has pain or needs a denture evaluation. Describe each person’s needs instead of assuming one appointment length will fit everyone.
Star Dental is open seven days and has extended evening hours Monday through Thursday. That flexibility can help families balance school and work, but appointment supply varies. Calling ahead remains important—especially for weekend, emergency or coordinated family appointments.

MAKING AN INFORMED CHOICE
Visit Star Dental on South Sheridan Boulevard in Denver; the map, directions and contact links on this page lead directly to the office.
Ask how your coverage will be checked. Star Dental accepts Health First Colorado Medicaid and many PPO plans, but being enrolled with a plan does not mean every service is covered in every circumstance. The team verifies eligibility and available benefits and can discuss an estimate after the dentist makes a diagnosis.
Ask what the first visit is intended to accomplish. Routine examinations, emergency evaluations, denture consultations and children’s visits have different goals. Clear scheduling information helps reserve appropriate time and reduces the risk of expecting treatment that cannot be confirmed before an examination.
URGENT DENTAL CONCERNS
Call 303-222-1414 for current urgent-care availability. Significant facial swelling, trouble breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or serious facial trauma may require emergency medical care rather than waiting for an office appointment.
BENEFITS, LANGUAGE AND ACCESS
Health First Colorado Medicaid and many PPO dental plans are accepted. Coverage depends on the patient, plan and service, and some care may require prior authorization or have frequency or age limits. Self-pay patients are welcome as well.
The office has free onsite parking and a wheelchair-accessible entrance. Families should bring identification, current benefit information, medication lists and any available dental records. A parent or legal guardian must be prepared to provide health information and consent for a child.
