Boulder, Colorado · since 2009
A calmer kind of dentist.
Unhurried appointments, a price before anything starts, and rooms full of daylight at the foot of the Flatirons.
Mon to Fri, from 8am
Calm, by design
Three promises, every visit.
Talk first
Every visit starts with a conversation, not a chair that's already tipping back.
Price first
A written price before any treatment. The number on the plan is the number on the bill.
Stop any time
Raise a hand and everything pauses. No questions, no rush.
Your first visit
An hour, by the clock.
No surprises. This is what the first hour looks like, start to finish.
8:00
Arrive
Park out front. No clipboard: the forms came by text the day before.
8:05
Settle in
Tea, a quiet room facing the mountains, and headphones if you'd like them.
8:15
Talk first
Ten minutes about you, your teeth and anything that worries you. Nothing starts until you're ready.
8:30
A gentle exam
We look, show you what we see on the screen beside you, and stop whenever you raise a hand.
8:50
A plan, priced
What we'd do, what can wait, and what each part costs, written down for you to take home.
9:00
Back to your day
Out the door within the hour, with a next visit booked only if you want one.
Treatments
Priced before we start.
Every treatment has a price from, and your plan says exactly what yours costs. All treatments
The rooms
Every chair faces a window.
Big windows, real plants, blankets and headphones. We built the practice around the light, because people relax when they can see the sky.

Patients
Converts, mostly.
“I'd avoided dentists for eight years. Dr. Hale talked me through everything first, and I actually relaxed.”
MMaya R.
“The price on the plan was the price on the bill. That has never happened to me before.”
TTom K.
“Morning light, a blanket, and a hygienist who stopped every time I lifted my hand. I'm converted.”
