Cherry Creek DDS

Cherry Creek DDS is the practice of Dr. Gary Hagen in Cherry Creek, Denver. The home page describes him as "Dr. Gary Hagen, dentist of 35+ years" and states he "has served as hundreds' of Cherry Creek's dentist since 1992", offering preventative and restorative dentistry with a special interest in cosmetic dentistry and sleep apnea treatment. It states he "is proud to have been named one of 5280 Magazine's Top Dentists"; no year is given for that recognition on the site. An FAQ answer elsewhere on the home page refers to "30+ years' experience". The site publishes no dental school, graduation year, licence number, board certification, academy fellowship or professional association membership for Dr. Hagen, and it does not spell out DDS or DMD letters after his name in its own body text, so credentials beyond what is quoted here should not be stated. No other dentist or staff member is named on the pages read.

The patient information page sets out what to expect at a first visit. The practice says it will listen to the patient's concerns, goals and priorities for dental treatment and answer questions; discuss dental and general health history; perform an exam using technology, laser diagnostics and dental X-rays to assess the current state of oral health; and formulate a customised treatment plan. New patients are asked to bring completed forms to the first visit: a Health History Form and a Privacy Form, both linked from that page.

Cherry Creek DDS is a dental practice in the Cherry Creek area of Denver, Colorado, led by Dr. Gary Hagen. The website lists these dental services: dental checkups, dental veneers, white composite fillings, cosmetic dentistry, teeth whitening and bleaching, dental implants, anti-snoring devices, porcelain crowns, dentures, restorative dentistry and sleep apnea treatment.

The services page groups the work into four areas. Preventative and family dentistry covers teeth cleaning and exams, which the page says are scheduled as a full hour so patients get one-on-one time with the hygienist and Dr. Hagen, plus what the site calls wellness plans and state-of-the-art technology including laser diode treatments during teeth cleanings. Cosmetic dentistry covers smile makeovers, teeth whitening, dental veneers, and tooth-coloured crowns and fillings; the page states the practice offers metal-free restorations with no mercury, nickel or beryllium. Restorative dentistry covers white composite fillings, implants, crowns and bridges, and partial or complete dentures. Snoring relief covers custom anti-snoring devices.

Cherry Creek DDS is located at 90 Madison St, Suite 406, Denver, CO 80206. That address, the phone number (303) 393-6006 and the email info@cherrycreekdds.com appear on every page of the site. The practice describes its location as the Cherry Creek neighbourhood, "in the heart of Denver".

Office hours are not published anywhere on the website. The site gives no opening time, closing time, weekend hours or holiday schedule, so hours must be confirmed by phone or email rather than assumed. There is also no online booking tool, appointment calendar or patient portal published on the site; the pages use a "Schedule an Appointment" call to action that leads to the contact page, where the phone number, address and email are given. A Google Maps link to the practice location is included on the home page.

Cherry Creek DDS does not publish prices, a price list, cost figures, rates, fees or estimate amounts for any dental service anywhere on its website. No dollar amounts appear on the pages read, so any price, cost or quote has to come from the practice directly on (303) 393-6006 or info@cherrycreekdds.com.

On insurance, the practice states its position in its own words. The FAQ answer reads: "this means we're out-of-network for all dental insurance plans". The contact page repeats it as a reminder: "We are not in-network with insurance plans and are not a Medicaid provider." Asked directly whether it accepts Medicaid, the FAQ answer is: "No, we are not a Medicaid-approved provider." The patient information page adds that the practice will "maximize your out-of-network dental insurance benefits". Nothing on the site says any specific insurance plan is accepted in network, and no carrier names are listed.

Cherry Creek DDS provides restorative dentistry from its Cherry Creek office in Denver, covering dental fillings, crowns, bridges and dentures. The restorative page describes fillings as a routine procedure with a fast turnaround time depending on how many are needed, and states the practice uses white, composite mercury-free fillings rather than older silver amalgam fillings. The services page adds that the practice regularly replaces old amalgam (silver) fillings with composites.

On crowns, the page says chipped or cracked teeth and teeth with structural damage often need a crown, and that crowns are sometimes used to protect significant filling work. It notes several crown material types are available, including metal, zirconia and porcelain, each with different strengths and weaknesses depending on the individual tooth and its condition. Porcelain crowns are described on the services page as matching the natural colour of the teeth. Bridges are described as a set of crowns placed to fill a gap and attach to healthy teeth. Dentures, partial or complete, are listed for replacing missing teeth, and dental implants are listed as a way to replace missing teeth without placing crowns on adjacent teeth.

Cherry Creek DDS offers snoring relief through custom anti-snoring devices, described on the site as a special focus of Dr. Gary Hagen. The page explains that when a person falls asleep the tissues and muscles in the throat relax, which can narrow the airway and cause the breath to vibrate, producing snoring noises. The devices the practice fits either push the lower jaw or the tongue forward to help expand the airway and keep it open during sleep.

On how the appointment works, the page states that Dr. Hagen will fit the device in the office and take impressions, and that no anesthesia, pain medication or time off work is needed. The device is custom-created and fitted to the individual's mouth. The practice says it offers two different types of anti-snoring device. The page contrasts these with CPAP machines and with throat surgery, which it describes as invasive, risky and expensive, and it presents the devices as an alternative approach rather than promising any particular result for an individual.
