Yvette L Killingsworth, DDS

I am appalled after our family’s experience with Dr. Killingsworth. We went to this office after reading the reviews online. My family all went in for cleanings (myself, hubby, and our kids). My 6 year old and I both had small cavities.
My 6 year old returned to have his filled a couple of weeks later. The appointment seemed to go well and he was happy with the experience. However he complained the next day that his tooth still hurt. We gave it time because we assumed he was just a little sore. But this went on for some time so we took him back. They took new x-​rays and discovered that they had not drilled far enough during his first filling and therefore part of the original cavity was missed and had turned into a raging infection. They told us the tooth would need to be removed. We ended up taking his records to a pediatric dentist who was able to save the tooth through a mini root canal and a crown. However hundreds of dollars and pain endured later I am not happy.
But it continues! I also had my tooth filled around the same time. I too experienced a great deal of pain after my procedure. When I went back in they suggested perhaps we needed to replace the filling so they went ahead and did a second procedure. Weeks later I was still in great pain. They told me it would appear they had drilled too far on the first procedure and that I now needed a root canal to fix my tooth and relieve the pain. They also had the nerve to tell me that I needed to pay for the root canal!
After some back and forth they agreed to pay for the root canal since it was their mistake that caused the need for the procedure… Even with this concession they told me that after the root canal I would need to come back to have a permanent filling or crown; they said I really should have a crown but they would only pay for a filling. Again, why am I shelling out now thousands of dollars to fix a problem they created? Finally I went for the root canal, however during the procedure they had to stop towards the end because the tooth was infected and draining too much. So after all this I have to go back a second time to finish the root canal and then still go to the general dentist for a crown.
I will never go back. One mistake like this is possibly acceptable but two like this, is absolutely not!

Dr. Killingsworth and her staff make gling to the dentist a pleasure. I’m serious!!! The environment is top-​notch. The billing is simple and straightforward. The reminders are electronic. Every appontment Ive been to is on-​time. And above all, every staff member including Dr. K, is fabulous! Nice, professional, easy going, knowledgable, friendly & caring. I really like going here bc its such a positive experience and makes me want to take care of my mouth. They are an awesome team!!!

This is hands down the best dentist around! I went to Dr. Killingsworth several years ago after a sketchy experience with another dentist that was trying to do unnecessary work to get my bill up – she saved me a lot of money and the problem teeth couldn’t be better.
More that all that is the personal attention, car, work ethic, and gentleness that this whole office works with. I feel like they go out of their was to accommodate me and make me feel comfortable. They definitely know customer service!

Just returned from my first dental visit in 2 years — yes, sacrilege in these United States! But, I had moved to S. Denver about 18 months ago and upon moving, we gave BrightNow a shot as it was close to our new house… BRUTAL. According to them, I had «stage something periodontal disease» and if I didn’t submit to their $ 1100 cleaning process — it was obvious I would need to move to the UK (or Alabama) as my teeth would inevitably fall out. Having just left a great family dentist in Northern Colorado and never heard such a thing — I was skeptical and didn’t submit to their pressure. So, I never got a cleaning and since they did full x-​rays my insurance said I’d have to wait another year before switching unless BrightNow would be willing to give them to me… as you can imagine that didn’t happen. Fast forward another year and at the recommendation of a friend — I went to Dr Killingsworth of Elements Dental
. From the moment you set up the appointment to when you are walking out the door — the experience is the best. Obviously, given my previous experience with BrightNow — «the McDonalds» of dentistry — I was nervous — no need to be with Elements Dental.
The office is first class — I mean really first class! Jody — my incredible hygienist — had the best chair-​side manners of anyone I have been acquainted with — took her time getting my 2 year build-​up of tartar out, cleaned, polished, and flossed with incredible care. Didn’t lecture me but did discuss that I needed to pick up my flossing a little — particularly in the back. But, assured me this is common and she wasn’t seeing anything out of the ordinary. Then, Dr Killinsworth stopped by and visited, consulted, prodded a little, etc… yes, I have a few areas of concern that need to be watched but with the proper maintenance I’ll be just fine.
No sales job on whitening, no sales job on additional cleaning services, no sales job on fancy toothbrushes … just an honest, down-​home dental visit.
I can’t say enough about Dr Killingsworth and the staff at Elements Dental… fantastic experience that I would highly recommend. I’ll be back in 6 months!
BTW — my daughter (9) hates dentists. upon her visit last week, she mentioned that Elements Dental is the best Dentist she has every been to… and we know kids don’t lie.

This was probably the best dental experience I have ever had.
It is a four star.
Sorry, it is a dentist.
Dentist is a yucky word.
Only four stars.
No dentist could rate a five star… but she was close.
But that would go against my inner being… my inner peace.
Yucky…but she made it better.
All better now.
Thank you.

As far as dentists go this office is as good as it gets. As one is growing up the Dentist office is usually known as the House of Pain and Drilling.
Dr. Killingsworth and staff changes all of this. I was referred by a friend and he just raved and raved about how wonderful they were.
My first exposure was actually with Dr. Killingsworth herself and she is upbeat and very personable. I then visited their website — I judge a lot of companies by their website. This one is easy to navigate, provides tons of information and best yet, all of their forms are ready to fill out and submit right there — which saves all that pesky paperwork when you arrive at the office.
When I arrived for my office visit, I was actually a few minutes late due to the fact that I got lost (note to self — use your navigation system dumbass!), but I was greeted by a very friendly person behind the front desk (who I can’t for the life of me remember her name). The front office waiting office was comfy and nicely decorated.
I can’t say enough about the décor in this office — it is calming and soothing that you just don’t find in my doctor type offices these days. They have state of the art equipment, which makes it so much faster and easier on everyone.
Jody was my hygienist — she took the time to explain everything that we were doing and walked me through every step of the process. She used this water-​pic hopped up on steroids to clean my teeth. And there was no lecture since I had been a bad girl and hadn’t been to the dentist in 2 ½ to 3 years.
My teeth now feel better than new — all shiny and sparkly. If you are looking for a new dentist or perhaps you didn’t think you needed a new dentist I would definitely give Dr. Killingworth a try.
