Comfort Dental Kids – Lakewood (Colfax and Kipling)

Hours published for this address are Monday to Friday 7:30am-7:30pm and Saturday 7:30am-1:30pm. To book or schedule an appointment, the page offers a phone number and a "Request Appointment" form.

This is one franchise office of the Comfort Dental chain, which the site says has "more than 150 locations across 10 states". Material elsewhere on comfortdental.com — braces, implants, oral surgery, the Gold Plan — is chain-wide and does not necessarily describe this address. The site does not publish prices, rates or fees for individual treatments here, and no service is offered as a diagnosis or a guaranteed result; for anything specific to this location, including cost, a quote or appointment availability, the page directs people to contact the office by phone.

These are the office's own descriptions of what it offers, not an assessment of any particular patient; whether any of them is appropriate is decided at an appointment, not in advance.

Braces, dental implants, oral surgery, periodontics and endodontics appear on the chain-wide menu of the Comfort Dental website but are not among the services listed for this Lakewood address. The page publishes no price, cost or fee for any individual service here and does not state how long any appointment lasts, so a cost estimate or quote for a specific treatment has to come from the office on (720) 823-4460.

No other prices, pricing, rates or fees are published for this location. There is no fee schedule, no price list and no online estimate tool for individual treatments, so any cost or quote for a specific procedure has to come from the office by phone on (720) 823-4460.

On insurance, the office page says the practice will "accept Medicaid and most major insurance plans". It names no plan and states no network status for any plan. The site's FAQ answers the insurance question with: "If you have any questions on the types of insurance we accept, please call our office." The chain's Medicaid page adds that "Many of our offices accept Medicaid, but not all", and asks patients to call the specific office they want to visit and to confirm eligibility and coverage directly with DentaQuest, the administrator it names for Medicaid dental benefits.

Directions given on the page

"Starting from the Lakewood Library, get onto Miller St heading south, then turn left onto Colfax Ave. Right after the Kipling St intersection, turn right into our parking lot. We're at 9998 W Colfax Ave #104."

To schedule an appointment you can call (720) 823-4460, or use the "Request Appointment" form on the office page, which collects name, email, phone number and a preferred plus an alternate date and time. The form states this "is a request and not a confirmed booking", and the confirmation text reads: "Our staff is looking at doctor availability in order to facilitate your request. We will call you to confirm the date and time of the appointment." No live booking calendar or open slot list is published, so no appointment time can be treated as confirmed until the office confirms it.

On emergencies the page says

"If you are experiencing a dental emergency, feel free to come by the office during business hours. We will make it a priority to get your emergency taken care of ASAP." New adult and new child patient intake forms can be downloaded from the page before a first visit.

Those rates carry the site's own qualifiers, which must always travel with them: "Exact benefits vary by Comfort Dental location and may not apply to services provided by a dental specialist (such as a periodontist, endodontist, orthodontist, or oral surgeon), nor to dental hygiene products such as chlorhexidine and toothbrushes. Remember that this is not an insurance plan. This is an annual contract with auto-renewal, and you can opt out at any time through the Member Portal. If you do so within the first 30 days without using any of the benefits, you will get a full refund (specific terms vary by state)."

The plan is described as "available in all of our states except Washington". Separate Gold Plan Platinum and Diamond options for employee groups of five or more and of fifty or more are described as "currently only available in Colorado". State-by-state Gold Plan fee schedules are offered as downloads on a separate Gold Plan Fees page; those figures were not read and are not reproduced here.

Because benefits vary by location, whether these prices, fees and benefits apply at the Lakewood office at 9998 W Colfax Unit 104 should be confirmed with that office on (720) 823-4460. The membership plans number published in the site footer is 855-526-6524.

The following is chain-wide background rather than anything about this address. The site says Comfort Dental was "Founded by experienced dentist Dr. Rick A. Kushner", that Dr. Kushner graduated "from Marquette University School of Dentistry in 1977", and that the chain has "more than 150 locations across 10 states". A chain page about Comfort Dental KIDS says a child there "will be treated by a dentist who has completed an additional 2–3 years of specialized training in pediatric dentistry" — that is the chain's general statement about its KIDS offices, not a published credential for either named Lakewood dentist.

The corporate address the site gives for franchise orientation meetings, 2540 Kipling St., Lakewood, CO 80215, is the Comfort Dental Partner Development Center and is not the dental office. Patients, appointments and questions about services, hours or cost go to the office at 9998 W Colfax Unit 104, Lakewood, CO, 80215, phone (720) 823-4460.

Ask anyway — the agent will say plainly that it is not published rather than guess.
