I’ve been working with Dr. Heller regularly for a couple years maybe a few years now.

When I first met Dr. Heller, I had gingivitis. My regular dentist referred me to whom he referred to as a “specialist”. My mouth was in such bad shape. I thought I was going to end up with dentures. My gums were purple. They would bleed when I brushed. It would get loose. Dr. Heller said that my teeth were savable. Honestly, I didn’t believe him. I wish I had before and after pictures. I hope they do at Periodontal Associates. Because there’s been a complete transformation of my oral health. My gums used to be purple they’re pink now my gums used to bleed every time I brush my teeth before and now they don’t. I am also a lot happier because I’m not in pain. Also, just a couple days ago I noticed my bank account received $888 for Periodontal rewards. This amount was added to my account by Dr. Heller and everybody at Periodontal Associates. All of the people that work with him are very pleasant and I am very grateful that I met these kind of people.

If you ever read this, Dr. Heller, I just wanna say thanks a lot man, you’re awesome, trustworthy, and good at what you do. I couldn’t ask for a better dentist! Because there isn’t a better dentist.

I love my smile! Dr. Beckman is an artist :-). I didn't even know what was possible, but Dr. Beckman did a beautiful job with the crown lengthening, and I healed quickly with no issue. On top of it all, he and his team are warm, personable, and always put me at ease. I also love the beautiful succulent they sent in the mail as a thank you. So thoughtful. I recommend Dr. Beckman and his team without hesitation.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Thousand and his whole team! After having a pin tuck surgery only 2 years prior with a different periodontist. I was in need of gum surgery again and was absolutely devastated to have to go through another surgery. I found Periodontal Associates through my dentist. I am now 4 weeks post surgery and can’t believe how easy the pre-procedure process went, the actual surgery and recovery was so smooth and my recovery was seamless!
They even sent me a cute succulent! 😉 absolutely recommend this team!

Dr. Thousand completed a Pocket Reduction a year ago to remove a tiny portion of the root of a tooth that caused a bump at the gum line. He did a follow up check and leaning 2 weeks ago, and all if fine. My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Thousand for many years. He and his staff are wonderful - efficient, caring people. I highly recommend Dr. Thousand to anyone needing periodontal care.

I always feel that Dr. Heller and his team do a fabulous job at making me feel comfortable and well cared for whenever I visit. They are the gold standard in periodontal care in the Denver Metro area.

Periodontal Associates is an outstanding periodontal practice that provides exemplary periodontal work. I have relied on Dr. Eric Beckman and dental hygienist Michelle B.’s superb, highly knowledgeable kind professional attention for many years. Periodontal Associates’ entire staff is always wonderful and very welcoming. I had a fantastic “state of the art” laser surgery experience for which I am very grateful. I give Eric Beckman and his very dedicated and exemplary periodontal practice my very highest recommendation.

This practice is warm, friendly and professional. As a new patient, I received appropriate and practical information from Dr. Thousand and his staff about some necessary oral surgery that is scheduled for later this year.
