New Technology / Air Abrasion
New technology has given us another gift in the form of AIR ABRASION. This instrument allows us to gently remove decay in a very precise manner while preserving the majority of healthy tooth structure. For small cavities this means up to 10 times the amount of healthy tooth saved over the old “drill” and silver fillings. The cleaned cavity is then filled with a tooth colored composite.
The best part is that if the cavities are found early, before they get big, they can be painlessly filled without the annoying numbness we used to associate with dental fillings. The procedure feels like air being blown onto the tooth. In fact that is exactly what it is: a stream of air carries a fine powder against the cavity which wears away the decay.
Get Your Teeth Checked at min. 2x/Yr
The important thing to remember is to get your teeth checked early and often (at least twice a year) so that cavities can be found when they are small enough for this revolutionary new procedure.
No Fear Dentistry
We believe that everyone deserves a life of pain free dental health and a beautiful smile. We have dedicated our lives to helping our patients achieve that goal. Our motto is:
“The art of dentistry: gently restoring the health that God created.”
We do just about everything from crowns and fillings to root canals and implants.

In November, in observance of Veterans Day, Pagosa Smiles offered free dental work for veterans and service members. After spending a long stretch working in the mountains, I was overdue for dental care, and their timing could not have been better. The team fit me in right when I needed it most.
From the moment I walked in, I was treated like family. McKenna, LeAnn, and the dentist were welcoming, professional, and genuinely caring. They examined and cleaned my teeth and also extracted a tooth that was out of place and causing me significant pain. Everything was explained clearly, and they made sure I was comfortable the entire time.
Being thanked for my service is something I truly appreciate. Being shown that thanks through action means the world to me. The team at Pagosa Smiles is a pillar of the community and a great example of hardworking Americans doing meaningful work for the people around them.
After receiving care here, I recommended Pagosa Smiles to everyone I worked with and everyone I know in the area. I continue to recommend them to anyone and everyone in need of dental work who wants a welcoming, professional, and compassionate environment.
Absolutely top-notch care from an even better team.
Your comfort and satisfaction at Pagosa Smiles' family dentistry is our top priority. Our dental office team has extensive experience providing family dentistry to the Pagosa Springs community and surrounding areas.
