Periodontics Costs in Lakewood, Colorado (2026)

Approximate price ranges — may vary by provider and insurance plan

ProcedureTypical Cost
Periodontal consultation + charting$75 – $250
Scaling and root planing (per quadrant)$200 – $435
Full-mouth debridement$75 – $150
Periodontal maintenance cleaning$150 – $300
Gum graft (connective tissue, per site)$600 – $1,200
Crown lengthening (per tooth)$1,000 – $3,000
Osseous surgery (per quadrant)$500 – $1,500
Laser periodontal therapy (LANAP, per quadrant)$2,000 – $3,000
Bone grafting (per site)$300 – $1,500
Antibiotic placement (per site, Arestin)$35 – $75

Prices sourced from lakewoodcompletedentistry.com (Lakewood, Colorado local scaling/root planing data), aspendental.com (deep cleaning per-quadrant cross-check), authoritydental.org (scaling/root planing and periodontal maintenance cleaning figures), and newmouth.com (full-mouth debridement, gum grafting, bone grafting, and LANAP laser periodontal therapy figures). Ranges reflect Lakewood, Colorado and national periodontal cost-guide benchmarks in USD as of 2026; no additional Lakewood-specific published pricing beyond the scaling/root planing figure was found for the surgical procedures, so confirm with a local periodontist. Honest gaps: no source publishes a standalone periodontal consultation/charting fee, a per-quadrant osseous/flap surgery fee, a crown-lengthening fee, or an Arestin/localized-antibiotic placement fee -- these four lines are conservative estimates consistent with comparable specialist-consult, gum-graft, and general-surgical benchmarks, not a specific published quote. Dental insurance typically covers scaling/root planing and maintenance at 50-80%; grafts, osseous surgery, and LANAP are covered at lower rates or considered major services subject to annual maximums.

Read full description

20th Avenue Dentistry: Michael E. Unser DDS is a dental practice on 7575 W 20th Ave A1 in Lakewood, 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. Contact details for 20th Avenue Dentistry: Michael E. Unser DDS are on this page, along with the full list of services offered — reach out to ask about scheduling.

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 7 AM

Glendale clinic with a orthodontics specialty — Periodontics is on file among 28 procedures — just outside Lakewood proper.

Read full description

Cherry Creek Dental Group provides dental care on South Cherry Street in Glendale, Colorado. Implants are considered by many dentists the most durable way to replace a missing tooth, since the titanium post fuses with the jaw bone over several months and then supports a crown that functions much like a natural tooth. Enough healthy bone is the main prerequisite, and a graft can build that up first if needed.

Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.

Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives. Treatment commonly runs one to three years, with a retainer worn afterward to hold the result.

Cosmetic dentistry covers treatment aimed primarily at appearance — whitening, veneers, bonding, and reshaping among the more common options — for patients who are less concerned with a problem that hurts than with how their smile looks day to day. The right combination depends on what specifically you would like to change.

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it.

Wisdom teeth are removed when they are impacted, repeatedly infected, decayed, or damaging the tooth in front, since they arrive last and often into a jaw with no room left. Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out — one that erupts cleanly and can be kept clean is often left alone.

B, 1760, Centennial Drive, Louisville, Colorado(nearby)

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 9 AM

Pediatric Dentistry is the documented focus in Louisville; Periodontics sits within 19 services on profile — just outside Lakewood proper.

Read full description

Based on Centennial Drive in Louisville, Colorado, Louisville Dental Associates is a dental practice serving the area. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth at the root, not just the crown — a small titanium post is placed in the jaw bone and, once it has integrated over a period of months, a replacement tooth is attached to it. It is generally the most durable option for a single missing tooth or several.

Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.

A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.

Cosmetic treatment is generally the least invasive branch of dentistry, built around changing how teeth look rather than fixing something broken. Whitening and bonding sit at the lighter end; veneers and reshaping involve more planning. Most cosmetic dental insurance excludes this kind of work, since it is elective rather than medically necessary.

A crown covers an entire damaged tooth — used when too much structure is missing for a filling to hold reliably, whether from a large fracture, extensive decay, or after root canal treatment. It restores both the shape and the biting strength of the tooth underneath.

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to crowns placed on the teeth either side of the gap, creating a fixed replacement rather than a removable one. It is a longstanding alternative to an implant, particularly when the neighbouring teeth already need crowns. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list. Get in touch through it to ask questions or book a visit.

Dentures replace some or all of the natural teeth in a jaw with a removable appliance, custom-fitted to the mouth. A full denture replaces every tooth; a partial fills gaps where some natural teeth remain. Because the jaw bone reshapes over time, dentures typically need adjusting or remaking periodically.

How to Choose a Dentist in Lakewood

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated August 13, 2026Independently reviewed

Lakewood has no shortage of dental providers — a quick search pulls up hundreds. The challenge isn't finding one, it's figuring out which ones actually deliver. We spent time reviewing patient outcomes, checking credentials, comparing pricing, and analyzing feedback from patients who've had periodontist work done across the Lakewood metro area.

This is the short list. Ten providers in Lakewood, Colorado that consistently showed up in the data — not because they paid to be here, but because their patients keep coming back and referring others. If you're weighing options for periodontist in Lakewood, start here.
