About Premier Dental Care - Lodes Gene A DDS
Premier Dental Care - Lodes Gene A DDS is a dental practice on Citadel Drive East in the East Colorado Springs area of Colorado Springs, Colorado. General dentistry covers the routine and restorative care most people need most often — examinations, cleanings, fillings, and preventive checks that catch problems while they are still small and inexpensive to treat. Regular attendance, roughly every six months for most patients, is what makes that early-catch approach actually work.
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.
Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Avoid at all cost!
Dentist gave me a filling. It fell out with simple mouthwash at night. Went to get it fixed. Dentist told me they would write off my appointment for the repair. Fixed the tooth then they tried charging me at checkout for the x-rays that I didn't ask for and the appointment for a repair that wasn't done correctly the first time. Dentist seems nice but then you get to the counter and they want to charge you for things you didn't agree to. Also had an extraction done here..... 7 hours to get 1 tooth pulled..... didnt get out till 8pm....
Great experience getting my cleanings/etc. from here
Dr. Lodes is a great dentist and has great bedside manner. I've had fillings done and other extensive dental work. I've been impressed with his professionalism and with all of the dental hygienists, too.
Best dental care I've ever received and the staff is wonderful! Can't recommend enough.
All of the staff at Premier Dental Care are amazing! I called to see if I could take my son in for an emergency extraction because he was in excruciating pain. Deborah was so helpful and accomodating. She told us to come on in and they got my son in right away. The office is very comfy and welcoming. The receptionist's were very friendly and helpful and answered all of my questions and gave me additional information to help me find an insurance provider as I had no coverage. Dr. Harris and his assistant Tanya were also very friendly and informative. They took excellent care of my son. Turns out he had a two teeth that needed to be extracted. Dr. Harris actually removed the second one at no charge. I was shocked! I think he could tell I was struggling with how I was going to pay for everything. What an amazingly kind gesture! I am so grateful there are still such kind and gracious people in this crazy world.Thank you all so much for taking such good care of my boy and making us feel so welcome.
I have been a patient of Premier Dental care since 1993 and have always felt I had the best dental care in town. I have really appreciated the great service from the staff over the years and five star care from Dr. Lodes. I can remember times when Dr. Lodes upgraded my filling types on more than one occasion without additional charge or the staff worked with me on payment plans when finances were tight. I moved to Lone Tree yesterday and am closing on my house In Colorado Springs Thursday. I will greatly miss the care, laughs, and conservative approach of Premier Dental Care--thank you! It's been a great 24 years of service!
