SERVING SHERIDAN PATIENTS • ONE DENVER OFFICE
People searching for a dentist in or near Sheridan may consider Star Dental for seven-day access and care for children, adults and older adults. Sheridan patients visit us at 1490 S Sheridan Blvd, Unit 102, Denver, CO 80232, near Sheridan Boulevard and Florida Avenue.
LOCAL VISIT PLANNING
South Sheridan Boulevard gives the office and the community a familiar geographic connection, but patients should still check their current route before leaving. Traffic, construction and starting point can change the most practical way to reach the King Soopers plaza near Sheridan Boulevard and Florida Avenue. The office has free onsite parking and a wheelchair-accessible entrance.
A first call is useful when you have pain, swelling, a broken tooth, a damaged denture or another time-sensitive concern. The team can discuss current availability, tell you what information to bring and reserve the right type of evaluation. The dentist can then diagnose the problem and explain appropriate treatment options.
For routine care, Sheridan families can ask about examinations, cleanings, X-rays, children’s visits and coordinating appointments for more than one household member. Recommendations are individualized. Some patients need preventive care, while others need treatment planning for fillings, crowns, gum problems, extractions, dentures or another concern.
DENTAL SERVICES
MAKING AN INFORMED CHOICE
A preventive visit is appropriate when you want an examination, cleaning or updated treatment plan and do not have urgent symptoms. X-rays are recommended according to clinical need rather than automatically included with every visit. If you have dental records or recent images from another office, tell the team when scheduling so they can explain how to provide them.
An urgent visit focuses first on diagnosis and relief. Severe pain, facial swelling, trauma, a lost restoration or a tooth that has fractured may require prompt assessment. Depending on the findings, the next step could involve medication, a filling or crown discussion, root canal treatment, extraction, referral or monitoring. The appropriate choice cannot be determined from a keyword or photograph alone.
Patients interested in dentures can schedule an evaluation of missing teeth, current dentures, oral tissues and treatment goals. Conventional full and partial dentures, repairs and adjustments involve different steps. Extractions, immediate dentures and relines are separate services, so a personal treatment plan is more reliable than assuming one solution fits every patient.
URGENT DENTAL CONCERNS
Call 303-222-1414 for current emergency availability. Star Dental is open seven days, and calling first helps the team understand the problem and plan the right appointment.
BENEFITS, LANGUAGE AND ACCESS
Star Dental accepts Health First Colorado Medicaid and many PPO dental plans. Eligibility, benefits, limitations and patient responsibility are verified for the individual patient and service. Bring photo identification and current insurance or Medicaid information when available. Self-pay patients can also request an estimate after the dentist determines what care is needed.
Spanish-speaking staff are available to help patients discuss appointments, benefits and dental concerns. Interpretation availability and clinical communication needs can be discussed when scheduling. The goal is for patients to understand the proposed next step before consenting to treatment.

Bring a medication list, relevant medical conditions, allergies and the details of the dental problem.
