Having a need to explore an implant can feel daunting and overwhelming, however, I felt at ease with the staff at Periodontal Associates Centennial! The Receptionist (Lisa) was extremely friendly from the get! The Surgical Assistant, Travis, was kind and reassuring during my scans. Dr. Thousand was extremely knowledgeable, approachable and kind! He explained the upcoming procedure extremely well, answered my questions and listened to my concerns. I'm grateful that my Dentist recommended Dr. Thousand and his team.Posted on Google

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Heller and his entire team for my gum graft. From the initial consultation through the procedure and follow-up, everyone was professional, caring, and incredibly reassuring. Dr. Heller took the time to explain everything clearly, made me feel completely comfortable, and the entire process went much more smoothly than I expected.Posted on Google

I had my initial exam with Dr. Douglas Heller about 1 month ago. Everyone was very professional and courteous. I had some gum grafts by Dr. Heller on Wednesday and feel like I am progressing well. Scheduled for follow up & suture removal in about 2 1/2 weeks. I am very pleased with their periodontal care.Posted on Google

Long time patient here, getting pretty close to 20 years! I started out seeing Dr. Versman, and when he retired Dr. Beckman. 100 percent trust in everyone at this office. Appointments always on time, great communication, just all around wonderful practice. A special shout out to Michelle, the best hygienist! So kind, gentle and always great conversation!Posted on Google

I recently saw Dr. Heller for a consultation and was very impressed. I was understandably nervous about the procedure I have coming up, but Dr. Heller immediately put me at ease. He was warm, charming, personable, and took the time to explain everything without making the situation seem frightening or overwhelming. I especially appreciated that he didn’t make me feel like I should be terrified of the upcoming procedure! I left feeling much more confident and reassured about what to expect. He has a wonderful bedside manner, and I’m very glad I chose him.Posted on Google

Dr. Heller brings deep knowledge and years of experience. Nobody wants to be in a dentist chair, but Dr. Heller's positive energy and approachable personality makes the whole experience not so bad. He does a great job explaining dental issues and discussing treatment paths. It is obvious he enjoys his profession and genuinely cares about patient care over profit. I miss Dr. Glick since his retirement from the same office, but Dr. Heller is an excellent periodontist as well. I've had more dental work done than the entire Colorado Avalanche hockey team, so you can take it from me!Posted on Google

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.+0Posted on Google

Not that anyone can truly love sitting through dental surgery, but these folks made the process a lot more tolerable than I ever imagined possible. I was referred to Dr. Doug Heller by my general dentist for a crown lengthening (which was something I had never heard of even though I have a mouth full of crown work AND used to be a dental assistant back in the dark ages). I was pleased with the fact that I really had no pain during the surgery and that the doctor continually kept me informed during the process while he was working on the tooth. The whole staff from front desk to operative, was wonderful. I have been there now for 4 visits, and each time I was seen right at or slightly before my set appointment time! I did not experience any issues with the healing process whatsoever. If you need the services of a periodontist, I highly recommend Dr. Heller at Periodontal Associates, as well as the Hygienist Michelle! Nice people!Posted on Google

I have always had the best experience at Periodontal Associates when in need for extensive gum procedures. Honestly, the discomfort is minimal and my healing has been remarkably quick, given the work done. Dr. Heller is patient and terrific at what he does. The staff is more than helpful and very pleasant to speak with. Would absolutely recommend to family and friends.Posted on Google

I can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Thousand and his entire team. My experience with their office for my MARPE treatment has been absolutely amazing from start to finish. Everyone has been incredibly supportive, kind, and compassionate, and I truly felt like they went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and doing well throughout the process. They consistently checked in on me, answered my questions, and made me feel supported every step of the way. The office is also incredibly easy to work with. Communication has been excellent, and I always felt like my concerns were heard and taken seriously. That level of care and attention makes such a difference when you’re going through a treatment process that can feel a little intimidating. Dr. Thousand and his team are wonderful providers who clearly care about their patients and take pride in providing excellent, compassionate care. I’m so grateful I chose their office and would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering treatment with them!Posted on Google

Dr. Heller and his associates are absolutely number one! My experience there was not only pleasant but reassuring. His staff is excellent and made me feel calm and always comfortable. Dr. Heller explained step-by-step everything he was doing to make a smooth and comfortable molar extraction in advance of a future dental implant. I would recommend Dr. Heller and the Periodontal Associates to anyone in need of that type of services.Posted on Google

I’ve had Dr. Beckman for a number of procedures and he does an excellent job. He is very thorough and meticulous - something you really want in a periodontal surgeon! His surgery assistants are also really great - very conscientious and caring. The only thing I would say is that they should check periodically to make sure their after hours call line is working. I called once after a previous procedure and the line appeared to be malfunctioning and I couldn’t leave a message.Posted on Google
