About Dr. Frederick G. Guerra Jr, DMD

Dr. Frederick G. Guerra Jr, DMD operates on North Academy Boulevard in the East Colorado Springs area of Colorado Springs, Colorado. At the core of a general dental practice is preventive and restorative care: checkups, professional cleanings, fillings, and screening for decay and gum disease before either becomes a bigger problem. It is the kind of appointment most people need on a routine schedule rather than only when something hurts.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway. You can reach Dr. Frederick G. Guerra Jr, DMD through this page to ask a question, check current availability, or request an appointment.

I wouldn't go to any other dentist other than Dr. Guerra! He is the best! He makes his patients feel comfortable and welcomed no matter the circumstances. After having some bad experiences with dentists, he has calmed a lot of my fear. His staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. You are always greeted with a smile from the minute you walk into the door to the time you walk out.

Horrible! My elderly mother went there. They quoted her $300 and then when it was time to settle up they doubled the price. My mom said she couldn’t afford it. They told her they would call the cops... Shame on you for taking advantage of the elderly during a pandemic!!

Need a dentist or have an emergency, call Dr. Guerra’s office!!! Dr. Guerra and Heather are friendly, caring, attentive and professional. You can definitely tell that they care about people and they care about providing the best service! In an emergency situation, Dr. Guerra called in a prescription and opened his office the next day to take care of some major tooth pain. They not only sent home a thoughtful care package but they both followed up multiple times. Look no further, call them!

Dr Guerra and his staff have treated me with the utmost kindness and respect for the last 6 years. I moved from SC to Colorado to be treated for my Multiple Sclerosis at The Rocky Mtn MS Center but the MS had started to destroy my teeth and kill off all the nerves in my teeth. Dr Guerra met with me so I could have a local dentist of record. So now 6 years later all the teeth are gone and his team is working diligently to create implant supported dentures, not always easy with me but they are always great. I can’t recommend them any more highly please consider him as your family dentist he is a wonderful dentist and has a team that always goes above and beyond.

I've been a patient of Dr. Guerra's for over 6 years and deeply appreciate his care and consideration for his patients. When I lost my dental insurance, Dr. Guerra offered a VIP program that helped me to continue routine visits and receive discounts on procedures. What a relief! In addition to his great care, his office staff and dental hygienists are amazing. They make everyone feel welcome. The dental hygienist has such a delicate touch, and they use the latest equipment and no abusive scraping, such a dramatic difference from the dark ages of dental cleanings! Lastly, the HGTV programs in his lobby combined with a massage chair help patients relax and enjoy the experience. Many thanks to Dr. Guerra and his wonderful team!

I found Dr. Guerra online and called his office because I had a bad toothache. My tooth kept me up all night long. They got me in the next day right away. I needed a root canal done and a crown. They explained everything to me very well. The staff there is very friendly. I totally would recommend this office.
