Pretty upset by the care i was given here, while staff is very courteous the care provided is done with not a lot of attention to detail or proper follow up. They also charge higher premiums for coverage than other places i was shopping. I just assumed that the costs were higher because the care would be better. Long story short, i was sent out with a crown that was too big - this caused a lot of nerve damage/ pain and it was grinding against my teeth above it resulting in a unstable crown (which could have been remedied if the dentist assessed for a proper bite and evaluated me correctly before sending me home) anyhow, i came back with a wobbly tooth and lots of pain. Dr Fox saw me and immediately noticed the bite was off- she shaved it down and exposed me to more X-rays ( I'm pregnant - so all of this was such an annoyance ) And now i have no pain but a wobbly crown. No diligence in work here. I recommend Espire on the river walk - i stopped going there because of how far it was from me but I'd rather go back and be properly cared for.

My wife and I have been going to Lodo Dental for several years now and couldn't be happier. Drs. Fox and Furuta are the kindest, most knowledgeable and efficient providers we've known. Their hygienists and staff are caring, upbeat and professional as well. We wouldn't think of going anywhere else. If you're looking for a high-end, well-run downtown practice, look no further than Lodo Dental

Came here when I first moved to Denver and everyone from the staff to the dentist were great. My experience with cleanings have been fantastic and am always impressed with how quick and efficient they are. The best part is they have TV's so you can watch a movie or tv show while you're waiting for them to finish up. Also give great referrals for specialists depending on the need at the time. Would definitely recommend for anyone new to the Denver area!

Dr. Furuta and her staff are AMAZING! Been going here for a number of years and they are hands down the best in town. Not only are they at the forefront of dental care, providing some of the newest techniques and treatments, they're super organized, accommodating, and downright caring, kind people - all around amazing experience. They are very patient, as well, and take time to explain all the options and not force any decisions or unnecessary services.
I went through Invisalign treatment and my teeth were hella stubborn - had some moments I was ready to give up on pretty teeth - but they were very kind, patient with me, explained all the options, and reassured me I'd get an awesome end result even though my teeth were being stubborn. Dental care is awesome, Invisalign experience has been awesome, and my teeth are looking reallll cute, thanks to Dr. Furuta and crew. HIGHLY recommend!

Who likes their dentist enough to look them up in Yelp and leave a recommendation? THIS GUY! (I'm pointing at myself with my thumbs) These gals are amazing and really care and provide EXELENT dental care. Hands down WAY better than any dentist office I've ever been to. I'm recommending them to all my friends. They're all friendly and treat you so nice. From the people behind the front desk to the dental hygienist to the dentists, ALL AMAZING! So lucky to have found such a great place!

Been a patient for years! I used to live across the highway from them, but now live in Boulder and still make the drive downtown because of what a great operation they run. Julie is always my hygienist and could be the nicest person on Earth! She has a great touch and makes going to the dentist as pleasant as it can possibly be! Try this place, they are awesome!

Dr. Furuta and her staff are so great - knowledgeable and nice. The office has such calm atmosphere. They are so gentle on the gums and never shame me if I forget to floss and have popcorn kernels in my teeth haha. I look forward to my visits and will continue to come here as long as I possibly can!

Excellent experience across the board! My hygienist Corey was fantastic -- thorough, professional, and super friendly. And while I unfortunately needed some dental work done, Dr Fox made it as easy and painless as possible. What surprised me most, though, was receiving a hand-written note from Corey just days after my appointment thanking me for coming to Lodo Dental. Will definitely be returning and would recommend to anyone looking for a dentist in Denver.

I was very unhappy with my experience with this dentist. They are the epitome of untrustworthy and there are higher caliber and more trust worthy offices that can assist you, I would not recommend this place whatsoever. They will exploit you and your insurance to the max. They were not transparent about fee's and the cost of the services Id have with them.
They felt predatory and anxious to charge to my insurance for anything. Just totally not a good vibe. I felt like a number to them. My experience with the front desk staff left much to be desired. I work front desk at a hotel and I wish they were compassionate people, but they are there to get your $ and nothing else. My experiences with them are reminiscent of renting a car or going to a auto body shop.
You know, shady. I always get a weird feeling when front desk staff is eating at the desk. A drink is always cool, but the front desk staff eating chips and jerky? A little gross imo. This place is making $ because they are aggressive and want your $. If you want medical care focused on the dollar sign, come here. Thats what they care about the most as you can see in each and every experience.

I love going to Lodo Dental. Julie and Dr. Furuta are intelligent, great communicators, and make me always feel cared for. I typically don't like going to the dentist but I will always go to Lodo Dental. They have even inspired me to floss regularly. I always recommend them to colleagues and friends and now you, the good people of Yelp, have been formally recommended by me. Do your smile a favor and go see Lodo Dental.

I've been a patient of Lodo Dental since 2009 and have been one of those who claims "I have the best dentist!" After making many recommendations to friends and colleagues over the years, they end up feeling the same. I've also moved out of Denver and no matter how far the drive is, I'll continue to be a patient of Dr. Furuta's and her staff. They are so welcoming, professional and detail oriented. I trust my dental health and smile in their hands.

I have been using LoDo Dental for just over a year and I would NOT recommend. They stated that I needed deep cleanings and I went through the process last year. There were billing issues that I had to resolve through the process as they tried to overcharge my portion. Figured this was just a mistake and let it go. then I went back for a regular cleaning in January and I got another bill.
When I reached out to inquire why, I was told I was a different routine maintenance that insurance only covered 80% of because of the work last year. I can understand that but there should be some PROACTIVE communication about that beforehand instead of just billing notices after the fact. A regular cleaning shouldn't be upgraded for billing purposes to insurance and then pushed back to the client.
Besides the billing issues, I had two appointments where the technician was 10+ minutes late. if I book the 7:30am appointment it's because I am already cramped for time!

This is the best dental office you will ever find. I have gone here for a few years and have always had excellent patient care. This month they went above and beyond. I broke a crown and was in excruciating pain. They got me in immediately and were even able to get me a same day appointment for a root canal. Dr. Rosenvold called me that afternoon to see how everything had gone. Today I received a handwritten note from her. I will never go anywhere else for my dental needs! Top patient care!

I had a good experience the first couple times. Then I asked for a special night guard (like the one my mom got) to help me stop grinding at night. I sent images to Dr. Futura and she agreed to make it. When presented with the night guard, I told the hygienist that couldn't possibly be mine, since it wasn't at all like what Dr. Futura and I discussed. Dr. Futura proceeded to sit and yell at me about how she made what I wanted and that the images were of a splint and that their lab didn't even make that kind.
A fact that she should have told me before spending $400 on it. Later, she slipped when telling me that I would need to see a specialist and said that the splint would be made by the same lab. I didn't like being lied to. When I reminded her I have a night guard that prevents me from damaging my teeth, she said that I told her I didn't wear it and she made this one so I'd actually wear it.
I never told her I don't wear my night guard. I know for sure I never said this because I wear it absolutely every night. She was just making things up to avoid being wrong. I also don't know what good it would do to make a new one if I'm wasn't wearing the one I have. She ended up refunding my $400. I will not be back.

These guys rock. I have been going to them for 3 years, and never once had to wait more than 2 minutes to be called back for my appt. Julie, the hygeniest, is AMAZING. She explains everything super thoroughly before and while she's doing it, as does Dr. Futura. My first visit was over an hour long, because of how thorough they were- measuring my gumline, talking to me about my teeth, etc.
I mentioned that I was afraid my meter was going to expire (I didn't realize they had free parking spaces next to the building), and someone went out and put quarters in the meter for me. They wouldn't even let me give them quarters out of my wallet, it was "on the house." The entire staff is really easygoing and friendly. I had a cavity filled a few weeks ago, and I got to pick a movie to watch while they did the work :) These guys will make you love going to the dentist!

Super over the top friendly, cool patient glasses, movie, digital xrays If you are not a people person, don't even think about coming here. Everyone is beyond friendly! They do digital xrays which ROCK! No more waiting for the things to develop, the dr can see them right away, the little card is less painful than those stupid bite wings! Ugh!
I always hated those things! The office is not far from 16th st, good parking - metered. The office is pretty urbanly decorated, open ceilings, very cool. I have had a cleaning and a filling. Both very quick, and well done! The Dr is very down to earth and again - friendly!
