About our Practice:

This practice has served South Denver since the late 1970s, when Dr. Hindman opened the doors and built a reputation in the old-fashioned way: one family at a time.

In 2000, Dr. Blanchard and Dr. Richardson purchased the practice and carried that same reputation forward.

We are a patient-focused dental practice committed to providing high-quality care in a welcoming, professional environment. Our team values collaboration, integrity, and exceptional customer service. We want to provide quality dental care for families without over-treating or selling unnecessary dentistry. New tools. Modern comfort. The same moral north.
