Our emphasis is on early preventive care; however, we also provide restorative care including
emergency services. Our primary goal is the retention of your healthy, natural teeth.
During your first visit to our office, we normally complete a comprehensive examination. The
comprehensive exam allows us to best diagnose your dental condition with respect to your overall
health.This exam will include a medical and dental history review, necessary radiographs and a
cleaning, as long as periodontal disease is not present. If periodontal disease is present, we may
recommend additional appointments.

Dr. Dallas D. Kenson
Dentist
Dr. Dallas D. Kenson is originally from Prescott, Arizona, where she was the 6th generation to grow up on a cattle ranch. She attended Arizona State University for her undergraduate degree and moved on to University of Michigan School of Dentistry for her Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree. After graduation, Dr. Kenson moved to Colorado and joined her brother, Tyler, who was living in the Centennial State already. Although she misses catching crawdads in the creek and listening to her Grandpa’s stories about ranch life in the 40s and 50s, she feels that so many of the things she loves about the ranch are at her fingertips here in Colorado.Dr. Kenson says, “I recently joined Dr. Gill’s amazing practice in January and have already had the opportunity to meet a lot of you! Dr. Gill had told me about her wonderful patients and staff before I came in, and I can already see why she loves where she works and what she does. The patients and staff have made me feel so welcome and I can’t express how much I appreciate your kindness.”
Dr. Kenson lives in Denver and loves to spend her free time taking in all that Colorado has to offer. She took up fly-fishing last summer and made her first catch (about 4 inches long)! She enjoys being in the sunshine and taking advantage of the quiet rivers. She also loves hiking, camping, and skiing as well as tagging along with her brother’s elk hunts in Steamboat Springs. If she’s not out in the mountains, you’ll find her in Denver playing volleyball at Wash Park or trying to whip up some culinary concoction…or maybe even flying a plane! Dr. Kenson has her pilot’s license!
Dr. Kenson is a member of the American Dental Association, the Colorado Dental Association, and the Metro Denver Dental Society.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Full mouth rehabilitation, also known as full mouth reconstruction, involves reconstructing all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws. The process is completed through the use of restorative materials like crowns, bridges, veneers and dentures. For patients with missing or damaged teeth, full mouth reconstruction can be a necessary treatment performed to preserve the patient’s oral health.
Dentures are prosthetic devices designed to help patients with missing teeth, chew food, improve speaking habits, and improve the patient’s facial aesthetics. The absence of teeth can lead to a sunken, collapsed appearance to the mouth-area. By restoring the physical presence of teeth, this malformation is corrected. With dentures, the patient’s mouth is supported and the appearance is improved by aesthetic standards.
Aesthetic dentures are custom crafted to provide a precise comfortable fit, and to enhance overall facial features. The color of the teeth is carefully selected and the natural differences in tooth shape and size are carefully chosen based on each individual’s age, gender and unique facial qualities. In addition, dentures are made to replicate the gum tissue naturally while providing the proper structure and support for lips, cheeks and face.
Dental Veneers are used to enhance your smile by giving you attractive, even teeth much quicker than braces ever could. These veneers are very thin and are custom-fitted and bonded to the front of the teeth. The veneers are natural in color as to not provide a fake appearance, but can be much whiter than your original tooth coloring.
By placing a veneer on top of a tooth, Dr. Nancy Gill and Dr. Dallas Kenson can quickly and easily help achieve a beautiful smile. Most are permanent and are bonded very tightly to the tooth they are protecting, but there are some removable options. Some types of veneers may last for 20 years or more due to new and improved bonding agents.
Neuromuscular dentistry is a specialized area of dentistry focused on the alignment of the jaw. A neuromuscular dentist is concerned with the health of the teeth and gums, but also with how the teeth, jaw joints, and facial muscles work together to open and close your mouth. By considering the position of the teeth and how they relate to the function of the joints and muscles, the neuromuscular dentist seeks to balance the relationship for patients who are experiencing chronic pain or reduced function.
Dr. Nancy E. Gill and Dr. Dallas Kenson are both trained and have significant experience in neuromuscular dentistry.
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) refers to a group of related disorders that result from problems with the jaw or jaw joint, or facial muscles involved in jaw movement. TMD can cause discomfort and pain that may be constant or intermittent. These disorders are often referred to as TMJ, which refers to the temporomandibular joint itself.
There is some confusion about what dental inlays and onlays are and what dental problems they are used to correct. Inlays and onlays derive their names from the location on the tooth where they are used. At our practice, we utilize inlays and onlays as alternatives to more aggressive crowns and as methods for restoring normal tooth structure after decay or other damage.
Sometimes inlays and onlays are known as “indirect fillings” because unlike standard amalgam or resin fillings that are mixed and placed in our office, inlays and onlays are fabricated in a dental laboratory and cemented or bonded onto the tooth in our office. We like using these options for restorations because, unlike standard fillings, inlays and onlays do not weaken the tooth structure but actually strengthen it, in most cases adding between 50 to 75 percent more chewing force.
To differentiate between the two, you simply need to note their location. Inlays are placed within the cusp tips of the tooth; onlays usually cover the entire chewing surface including one or more tooth cusps. We use mainly porcelain at our practice, but can also use gold if the patient prefers.
There are a variety of dental conditions that can compromise the strength of a tooth, things such as cracks and chips among them. A porcelain crown can return the strength, appearance, and function of the tooth, and it will make the tooth look great. Dr. Gill and Dr. Kenson use only porcelain crowns because of their unique combination of strength and beauty.
Having a missing tooth is anything but rare. In fact, 178 million Americans are missing at least a single tooth. It can be tempting to avoid the hassle and expense of replacing a missing tooth, but this can really impact both your overall oral health and your self-esteem. Dental bridges are a great way to replace that missing tooth or teeth and get back a great-looking smile.
Dental bridges literally “bridge” the gap created by one or more missing teeth. Anchored by the healthy teeth on both sides of the gap, a bridge features a false tooth or teeth to replace those that are missing. At our practice, Dr. Gill and Dr. Kenson use a variety of bridge options to address your particular needs.
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that many people suffer from. This disorder involves repeated breathing interruptions throughout the night. These can happen numerous times and may be due to structural abnormalities or brain malfunctions. When breathing is normal, air passes through the nose, throat, uvula and tongue. If a person is awake, the muscles hold the airway open. If you are asleep, the muscles with relax and the airway should stay open. When the upper airway and airflow are blocked, sleep apnea will occur. When this happens, oxygen levels drop in both the brain and blood. This results in shallow breathing or pauses in breathing while asleep.
Diagnostic exams and regular teeth cleanings are important to the overall health of your teeth. Visiting the dentist regularly is a staple of preventative health care and can aid in preventing cavities and gum disease. Dr. Nancy E. Gill and Dr. Dallas D. Kenson use some of the most advanced technologies to X-ray and photograph your teeth to see any underlying damage that a traditional mirror examination cannot provide. Don’t wait until something is hurting to have a seat in the dentists’ chair, schedule a routine exam with our doctors today.
Full arch implants are an option for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth and are looking to reconstruct their entire mouth to restore both function and appearance. Missing teeth can lead to serious dental problems and can significantly inhibit a patient’s ability to eat and speak. Full arch restoration implants can be placed with dentures or bridges, both of which provide patients with a beautiful, restored smile.
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is caused by a build-up of plaque and bacteria between the teeth and gums. When left untreated, the gums become infected and if gum disease progresses, it becomes increasingly difficult and painful to treat. Progressed cases of gum disease can also lead to tooth loss.
Lasers are finding their way into much of our daily life. Dentistry is no different. Drs. Gill and Kenson use lasers for treatment of gum disease and other soft tissue concerns. As the technology continues to improve, we may one day include hard tissue lasers to accompany our current soft tissue lasers.
Holistic dentistry, also known as biological dentistry, is based on the principle that the teeth, gums, mouth and jaw are inextricably connected with the rest of the body, and that a person’s dental health impacts their overall health. Holistic dentistry is about treating the whole patient rather than one or two symptoms manifesting in the mouth.
For people who are dissatisfied with their smiles but have not done anything about them because they are not interested in a mouthful of metal, Invisalign® “clear braces” may be a good option. Invisalign eliminates both the discomfort of metal wires and the inconvenience of adjustments. The Invisalign system uses virtually invisible aligners that straighten teeth without metal bands, brackets or wires. The custom-made trays are comfortable, and easy to remove for eating, brushing, flossing and special occasions. The clear-plastic Invisalign aligners are so inconspicuous that it is difficult to tell when someone is wearing them. The Invisalign system has been shown to be highly effective at straightening teeth.
A tooth extraction, also known as exodontia, is one of the most common procedures performed at a dentist’s office. The procedure involves removing or pulling a tooth. An extraction may be necessary if there is disease, trauma or overcrowding.
Teeth whitening, or bleaching products, brighten teeth that have been stained or darkened by food, tobacco use, age or injury. There are a variety of in-office and take-home teeth whitening products to reduce or eliminate unwanted stains. Teeth whitening techniques will help you achieve a brighter and whiter smile!
