out of Read Reviews for Dr. David Dinsmore
I initially saw Dr. Dinsmore when he worked at the Lakewood Comfort Dental office and he redid the crowns on my two front teeth. The result of this procedure did turn out well and my experience was pleasant. However, I felt compelled to warn others about my second encounter with him at the Cherry Creek Comfort Dental office. I do wish to mention that all of the Cherry Creek Comfort Dental staff, with the exception of Dr. Dinsmore, were very conscientious and caring.
The reason for my second visit was to set a crown on a lower molar. During the process of setting the crown, the enamel in the center was completely removed in a small area, exposing the underlying metal. Although this was obviously an issue and I addressed it with the doctor, I was rather forcefully “convinced” that it would not be a problem, as it was in the back of my mouth.
In retrospect, it is my feeling that this was simply to avoid their cost of replacing the crown. In addition, the attitude I received from Dr. Dinsmore seemed to reflect a smug disregard for my wellbeing and an ideal end result. I have never left a negative review for any service provider before, but due to the unpleasant nature of this experience, I felt obligated to inform others.

After being with Charlie Stuart for many years, this new dentist and staff are truly a disappointment. We are surprised that Dr. Stuart receommneded him so highly. I have never seen such upselling, to myself and two people I recommended to Dr. Stuart's care years ago. Despite my records showing differently, I all of a sudden have needs for special cleanings and various other "add-ons"... The hygenists were speaking very ill of the front desk staff while I was lying there... sooo professional. The whole thing felt like nothing about my health, but instead what they could take me for... A friend had the IDENTICAL experience the same week and called me to share - but I had intentionally not mentioned anything of my experience. A week later, another friend, and a phone call about being upsold for special cleanings and whitening. Done. I could go on and on about inappropriate comments and questions by the dental team, but I've said enough. I never post to these things but felt I needed to warn people, especially former patients of Dr. Stuarts. Very disappointing.

I went one time and felt patronized by both the receptionist "Tish" and Dr. Dinsmore. They gave me at least 5 injections to numb my mouth but the teeth cleaning was painful still. My face didn't function the rest of the day. Dr. Dinsmore also made me sit through an education session that I couldn't have cared less about. Both my wife and I left and won't go back. Also, when I tried to cancel our appointments "Tish" pretty much bullied me and then begged for a reason why. Seems like this may happen a lot here??

This is a dentist who is simply trying to grow his practice as quickly as possible. I've never needed a "deep clean" and he tried to convince me that I'd need to do it every three months for the rest of my life. WHAT?? He also tried to convince me (while I was in the patient chair) that I should get two additional fillings than what we talked about because I was already numb. I asked him if they were cavities, he said no but I should fill them anyway. ???? I didn't like it at all. I felt like he was trying to sell me a used car. Don't go here they are just trying to make a quick buck and don't give a rip about your teeth. When I called to cancel the receptionist "Tish" gave me a difficult time. DO NOT GO HERE>

Horrible experiences!! This doctor is not particularly skilled given the multiple problems that I have had -- infections, losing a crown, incorrect diagnosis, etc. Avoid Dinsmore and his practice!!
About Hygienist: The dental assistants are not well trained, which is unfortunate as they provide most of the dental work.

The results are average. Two crowns against each other that he put in place have more gap in between that I would like to have. The pain management was not very successful, with three attempts to inject pain medication before it actually would work.

Dr. Dinsmore is fabulous! First, since I was new , he met me in a seperate room to obtain my dental history. After informing him of my anxiety, he openly discussed care options and never made me feel uncomfortable. Second, he was open and honest about my dental needs and compassionate toward my fears and anxiety during procedures, even stopping if he felt I needed a break to collect myself. I became so comfortable with Dr. Dinsmore that, much to everyone's surprise, I returned to have my wisdom teeth pulled.
Dr. Dinsmore and the staff at the Cherry Creek Comfort Dental are friendly, professional and make you feel at home. I highly recommend their office.
