PATIENT REVIEWS

I was in need of a new dentist, and came across some reviews of Dr Swankhouse. I’m ever so glad I called her office! She is remarkable! She made me feel so relaxed in her chair, the anxiety of a dentist office was quickly diminished.  If your looking for a new dentist or just tired of your current, she is the go too. Give her a try and you’ll be happy you did! More then a five star rating to me!!

After doing some research for a new dentist office I went with Swankhouse Dental and I’ve very happy I made that decision. I recently had a cleaning and a handful of cavities filled over 3 visits. Needless to say, I was a little worried after putting off the dentist for awhile. Dr. Swankhouse and her team did amazing work and made me feel comfortable throughout. From the first visit to the last they did a seamless job explaining the treatment, executing the plan, and working with my insurance. I highly recommend the Swankhouse Dental Team!

I had a crown come loose and didn’t have a Denver dentist yet. some of my neighbors referred Swankhouse Dental, and i couldn’t be happier! the whole staff is so sweet and intelligent. Dr Swankhouse even sent the first crown back, because she knew we could get a better match. I am so happy to have found such a great dentist!

Visiting a dentist is never my idea of a good time.  I have to admit the office and staff are truly wonderful.  The rooms are very relaxing (a massaging dental chair) and the staff is truly there to support you.  Dr. Swankhouse is a beautiful soul and it was obvious to me that her divine purpose is to provide caring, compassionate care with a detailed explanation of the work.  So glad that I found her!

Dr. Swankhouse and her team are simply the best. After a long absence from any dentist due to extreme anxiety, I called the office. From that first telephone conversation I knew I made the right choice. There was no shame or guilt for putting this off. They put me at ease, took things slowly and explained everything. The compassion Dr. Swankhouse showed gave me the strength I needed to proceed. After my cleaning, we went over a dental plan that worked best with my insurance and budget. The prices are very reasonable. The most extensive work was replacing an old crown. Dr. Swankhouse took the time to make sure it was perfect and that I was 100% happy. My mouth is now healthy and I’m actually looking forward to my next 6 month cleaning. If you are looking for a compassionate dentist with a fantastic staff, call them. You found a keeper.

The staff here is very friendly and care very much about your comfort.  I recently had to leave a dentist that I’ve been with for over 20 years and found Dr. Swankhouse and couldn’t be happier with my care.  The business is very clean and organized.  I only had to wait as long as it took me to fill out paperwork.  She did a very thorough oral exam (something that my other Dr. has never done.)  I definitely will be back to have more work done on my teeth!  Couldn’t be happier.

I never thought I’d ever be able to rate a dentist 5 stars but the ladies here are all amazing! As someone who suffers from severe dental anxiety I was beyond pleased when my first visit ended in a reschedule due to my own personal issues inhibiting me from going through with even the xrays. Dr Swankhouse and Ms Joel made me feel so welcome and helped to calm me down enough to reschedule. They took the time to talk to me and never once made me feel uncomfortable. I even got a hug that made me feel accepted despite my own misgivings. Normally I would say that’s borderline unprofessional but I felt like family the way they reached out to me. Needless to say I’ve been back a couple times now to have a cleaning, fillings redone and a referral to have wisdom teeth pulled. My son is also a patient here and actually enjoys his visits since it’s unlike any dental office we’ve ever been too. This place is priceless and I highly recommend to anyone with dental anxiety that needs that extra beside manner you will likely not find anywhere else!!

Dr. Swankhouse is the fastest, most accurate diagnostician I’ve ever seen. She is quick but very thorough. Like most people I’m not a fan of having dental work done but Dr Swankhouse is seriously amazing. She also seems to select a very caring and amazing staff. I can’t say enough good things about this practice

This is a great office to get dental treatment for many reasons. I love how welcoming the staff is here. I first came to see Dr. Swankhouse when my mouth was in a bad, painful state, and the staff  took me on as a patient without hesitation and in a timely manner. So far, they have been the most accommodating office I’ve been to, and they’ve really made the effort to work with my schedule. I trust Dr. Swankhouse’s opinion, and I’ve never been dissatisfied with any of her work. After my first visit, I knew that I wanted this to be my new home for dental treatment. As one reviewer mentioned, the staff is always educating you on what they are actually doing to your mouth, which always makes me feel at ease. Hands down, this is the best experience I’ve had with a dentist and staff, period. Consider coming here for treatment if you are looking for a dentist in the Denver/Front Range area–you won’t be disappointed!

I had some major dental work done at another dentist and needed a second opinion. Barbara (Dr. Swankhouse) was amazing.  Her whole staff made themselves available for me to come in for the first time with only a days notice.  Joelle is amazing too!  They all made me the most comfortable I’ve ever been at the dentist.  Dr. Swankhouse was the first to recommend I see an oral surgeon whom she trusts for one major procedure which I so appreciated that she was honest and cared about my well being. She did repair a couple lower teeth that had some dark decay to look like new, I was almost in tears, they looked like new!   I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Swankhouse and her staff, they are amazing!

Swankhouse to the rescue again. 5yrs later from my first emergency root canal to now, Swankhouse got me in the same day after searching tirelessly for someone to help me…someone to actually listen to me….someone who cares so deeply about helping people she will stay past closing to do a root canal….someone who will work with me financially and do all she can to ensure I have no more pain while waiting to afford the permanent crown. This dentist is an amazing human being who desires nothing more than to help people. I appreciate this woman to the fullest. Thank you so much for being amazing Barbara Swankhouse.

Dr. Swankhouse was incredible from the moment I walked into her office. She was informative and concise with her appraisal of my teeth and did a great job of working out what it would cost to fix my teeth. That being said, the real magic and professionalism came when it was time to do the work. I had my wisdom teeth removed and honestly it was about as painless as a procedure like that could be. No pain meds needed. I must say I have never had a better experience, ever, at a dentist!

Oh my GOODNESS! This was by far the best dental place I have ever gone too. I was genuinely surprised. The chairs had massage options and every single person there was so sweet and encouraging… wow. Julie and Ms. Swankhouse were soooooooooo sweet. The prices were great and I recommend this place to everyone and anyone! They have treated me and my family really well and are super personal and treat you with so much value!!

All these 5 star reviews are the real deal! Please go see for yourself. Dr. Swankhouse and her entire team are amazing! I was tentative to find a new dentist after moving into the area and I am so lucky that I found this office. Every person on this staff has the best customer service and makes you feel right at home. I instantly felt welcomed and left my cleaning feeling so relieved. Taylor was great doing my x-rays, Mary made my cleaning a breeze and made sure I was comfortable the whole time, and Amber even was able to help me with insurance questions. They quoted me for future dental work and their transparency and communication is outstanding. Dr. Swankhouse is so down to Earth, no wonder that she has put together such a great office! Best vibes ever.

This is what a visit to the dentist should be all about! The staff is amazing and supportive. The rooms are very comfortable…even a massaging dental chair! Dr. Swankhouse truly shines her light of care, compassion, and understanding for clients. Not that I like going to a dentist but having Swankhouse Dental available is a huge support!

If I could give more than five stars-I would! I feel so lucky to have found this wonderful Dentist and her wonderful staff! Dr. Swankhouse has such a calming and confident presence! She is also REAL. I love that she explains what is going on in your mouth. When there are options that one can choose, she explains them thoroughly along with their individual pros and cons and the costs. It is obvious that she is extremely knowledgeable and has lots of experience in all the many facets of dentistry. She is no-nonsence and doesn’t up charge or invent ways for you to spend money. She is pleasant and friendly; so is her staff! Thank you Dr. and Amber, Jamie, Lauren, and any other staff I forgot.

Was referred to Dr. Swankhouse through my hygenist, Shona from Shine Dental Arts, who was incredible and so nice herself. I hadn’t been to a dentist in a few years and knew I needed a lot of work, so was hesitant…but Dr. Swankhouse has been nothing but professional and kind, as everyone the office is…especially her dental assistant. On another note, I am a Medicaid patient and most dentists don’t touch cases like mine. But Dr. Swankhouse and her staff treated me as if I were a first class citizen. It usually doesn’t happen that way. So thank you Dr. Swankhouse…will see you at my next appt!

Seriously, the best dentist. The office is full of nice, genuinely caring people. You get detailed plans of your needed work/procedures, as well as the payments and insurance coverage, and everything is broken down to make it easy for you as a patient. The dental assistants are very nice, Dr. SeankhSwan herself is fantastic. So quick (two fillings, a bottom retainer removed all after numbing in 47mins), she explains what she’s doing to make sure you understand and are comfortable with each step of the procedure. Plus, aromatherapy towel afterwards. Best dentist eve

If you don’t have dental insurance they offer a comprehensive plan that really helps save money. This isn’t an insurance plan, this is A discount they offer in their office. I am in my 60s and I’ve never had dental insurance. For the first time as an adult I had my teeth cleaned twice in one year because it was included in their plan. Two cleanings, two checkups, one set of X-rays, one fluoride treatment and 30% off fillings and other procedures all for $350 a year!

Dr. Swankhouse and her staff are professional, kind and very accommodating. As soon as you walk in you feel welcomed by the receptionist. I chipped my front tooth in November and Dr. Swankhouse fixed it so now it looks like nothing even happened. It was a very smooth experience and I was comfortable the whole time! I don’t love going to the dentist but they do a great job of making your visit enjoyable here. Dr. Swankhouse and her hygienists have a gentle touch and I feel at ease when I have to get cleanings. Highly recommend!!

A a virgo pushing 60, I have been through more than a few dentists and am extremely discriminating . . . Technical competence, A An actual caring and empathetic human being, not enough stars or high enough grades. This doc takes the time to understand your questions and has the patience to explain in both technical and non technical terms until understanding is reached. She has a very gentle touch and empathy to know when more anasthesia might be needed. She provides her cell number and actually answers it when not in the office. She came into the office and made an adjustment that made the pain disappear when the office was actually closed. I am beyond delighted and can not recommend highly enough.

I literally just got home from Swankhouse dental. Sweet merciful crocodile crap this place is awesome. I’m frankly shocked at how easy going it was and how friendly Dr. Swankhouse and Amber were. It had been a while and they walked me through everything with kindness and humor. I’m set for life. I’ll never fear going for check ups again.

I really have enjoyed coming to Dr Swankhouse. She has kept a close eye on my implants that resulted from an unfortunate college bike accident and her team goes above and beyond Making you comfy. Amber was always asking me if I was ok and made my appointments less stressful for being at a dentist. Dr Swankhouse is easy to express concerns to and I appreciated that. I look forward to my next cleaning with Julie or Mary because they have both cleaned my teeth to perfection!

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Swankhouse and her talented staff! I am a new patient to this clinic and thus far it has literally been a life changing experience. Until coming here I had such an intense fear of dentists that I went about 5 years since my last visit. Needless to say, I was expecting to get a lecture or to be shamed for my neglect. Thankfully, Dr Swankhouse is exceptionally kind and sympathetic to that feeling. She understands why people develop a phobia of dentists and she says and does all the right things to ease your worry. Beyond just being a compassionate soul, Dr. Swankhouse is very talented. In just a few visits she has helped make my mouth healthier and my smile something to be proud of. It is remarkable how much my view of dentist visits have changed since becoming a patient here. I no longer fear the dentist and now I actually look forward to my visits. I should also point out that this clinic is small and everyone that works here is fun and friendly. There is definitely a relaxed, positive vibe in the office. Whether you are just looking for an exceptional dentist or you are someone who has a fear of dentists (like I did), this is where you need to be.

Dr. Swankhouse and her staff are great and make you feel very much at ease.  She replaced a crown for me last year and it is still going strong.  Nothing is ever pushed on you and I like that.  The dentist is always a bit scary but not this one.  I have an appointment today to get my teeth cleaned which I love because makes your teeth sparkle!

I moved to Denver recently and chose Dr. Swankhouse because I really wanted a female dentist. I cannot give enough praise to her and everybody in her office! They are kind, knowledgable, and caring throughout every process. They make it clear that I am the decision maker in all of the care that I receive, which is very appreciated. I had a filling done for the first time today and they were comforting, clear, and so professional. I even got a chair massage and to listen to Pandora radio during the procedure! I want everybody who has teeth to go see Dr. Swankhouse!

I must say, I’ve been paranoid my entire adult life of visiting a dentist. At 41, my previous dentist appointment took place as a teenager. Afraid of bad news, pain, high costs, etc. Every single, solitary fear I had about visiting a dentist office was IMMEDIATELY removed, the moment I stepped into SWANKHOUSE DENTAL. Dr., Swankhouse, along with her assistant laid every detail out as to what they are going to go about my teeth, in the most optimistic, helpful and reassuring way possible. Between that, relaxing in a massage dentist’s chair and being provided relaxation music in my ears, while they went to work on my fillings, I literally fell asleep in the chair and DID NOT want it to end. Makes you actually wish you had additional mouth work needing done, the way they make one feel here(lol). I never in my wildest dreams would have thought an experience at the dentist’s office could be so very pleasant. KUDOS, Swankhouse Dental!!! So glad to have you as my regular dentist. Heck no, I’m not going anywhere else. From Scottie, an ecstatically happy patient! 🙂

I had the “pleasure” of having a root canal performed here last week. Besides initial shots to numb the area, it was a fairly pain-free experience. The medication wore off quickly and my mouth didn’t really feel bad at all. I recommend this dentist, although I have only had one experience here. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The receptionist has a happy positive attitude and helped me out with a creative payment solution. Dr. Swankhouse (a.k.a. Dr. Awesome) is very knowledgeable, and gives clear explanations, which I find very helpful. UPDATE:( 6.19.19) – Boosted from 4 to 5 stars! After going to this dentist for a couple of years now; Dr. Swankhouse and her Staff deserve a 5-star rating! Dr. Swankhouse has done exceptional work for my mouth, and referred me to knowledgeable colleagues, when necessary. Her staff are all amazing, and are on-point when it comes to trying their best to make you comfortable..(especially *Amber*). Great job everyone.

I recently moved from NYC and was in need of extensive dental care (restorative work, implants, etc.) I found Dr. Swankhouse based on reviews, and I feel so lucky that I did! Dr. Swankhouse and her entire office are actual angels! She referred to an oral surgeon who I was very pleased with as well. I feel like I am getting the best care by the most genuine and knowledgable people.

Truly an outstanding dentist! I have sensitive teeth and a low pain tolerance, so I was anxious about finding a new dentist after I moved here. Dr. Swankhouse has a very gentle touch, superb skill with her instruments, and is excellent at explaining clearly about everything, during every step of treatment (including low-cost options.) My checkup & cleaning with Dr. Swankhouse may be the most comfortable–and least stressful–experience I’ve EVER HAD in a dental chair (and I’m age 62.) If you are searching for your “ideal dentist,” I strongly suggest you quit looking and call her office for an appointment. You’ll be glad you did. In case you think this all sounds “too good,” I’ll add the only “downside.” On the day of my visit, Dr. Swankhouse was training a brand-new receptionist; so please be patient with the front desk folks, O.K.? (I’m sure they’re doing better by now, anyhow.)

Like many, I get really anxious going to the dentist. So when I chipped a tooth shortly after moving to a new part of town, I was not thrilled to have to find a new dentist on the fly. Luckily, Dr. Swankhouse and her team were great. They got me in quickly and made the experience as painless as possible for a dental procedure. Dr. Swankhouse is great at explaining her medical recommendation in layman’s terms. I explained to her my dental history and concerns. She, in turn, took the time to do a thorough exam and give me well thought out recommendations. Good dentists have to be good mind readers because its so hard to talk during a dental procedure! Dr. Swankhouse so far is one of the best. Ever time I asked to pause the procedure she new exactly what I needed – a break, readjustment, suction. Oh and the amenities. Yes amenities at a dental office. I was offered (and took full advantage of) a Kindle and headphones to listen to music during the procedure, MASSAGE CHAIR, and a lavender hand towel to freshen up when they were done. Don’t worry the massage chair is very subtle. Just enough to relax and distract you from the actual dental work. Lastly, pristine cleanliness. Always important for a dental office but especially now. Quick medical screening and temperature check, appropriate use of PPE, screen guards for check in/out, lots of hand san and hand washing. I felt very safe here. Summary: Great attention to detail, focus on comfort, extremely clean, kind and professional.

As a kid I hated the dentist but after my fist trip to “Swankhouse Dental” its always the highlight of my week! All the staff are kind and caring, they take the time to get to know you and make you feel more comfortable. If your looking for a dentist this is the place to go!

But I was patient with the front desk, and I got a great reward: top-quality care from a gifted professional, at reasonable rates.

Do not come here if you disliking having fun. Seriously, don’t do it. Save yourself from joy and laughter because you’ll hate it here. Everyone there is so wonderful, fun, kind, considerate and professional. It’s enough to make you sick. And trust me, I’m a problem patient. I can’t keep a crown on to save my life. (I try, I really do, but oops, there goes another!) First time I walked in I was greeted by the psychic Dr. Swankhouse who knew who I was, my phone number, why I was there and other crazy information she promised she did not read off the screen in front of her. Think about it, a doctor with psychic powers? She knows if she’s hurting you or what you need without having to ask, which her and her staff still do, over and over making sure you are comfortable and happy. Speaking of those crowns, I lost a temp while on a trip and called the day before they were closing for a holiday vacation. Nevertheless, they quickly scheduled me for an appointment and came in, opened up on their vacation, to make me a new temporary crown. They are all absolutely wonderful, lovely people that make you feel right at home and amongst friends. And never lose their professional edge. The kind of people you’d love to have a backyard bar-b-que with. So if you’re hunting for dentist, I know this shoots myself in the foot by making it harder for me to get in, but absolutely go here. Wonderful, great, kind, fun people doing great work and a painless experience.
