I called needing an urgent appointment and was given an appointment on the spot. Drove right over and was greeted so warmly. This office made me feel so comfortable and truly cared for. After my insurance my co pay was less than the cost of a lunch downtown so that was also a bonus. Thank you again for taking such good care of me. 10/10 would 100 percent hands down recommend.

Ive been seeing Dr. Allen for 20 years. Even though he is out of network for me, I continue to go because the quality of care and personal care simply cannot be beat. If you are looking for high quality dental care from a dentist and staff who genuinely care for you, look no further. Youve come to the right place!

Dr. Dayana was amazing. She spent more time with me in my initial visit than my previous dentists spent with me over the past 10 years! She talked about goals of care and listened to and validated any concerns I had. Her team was absolutely amazing from the front desk to the cleaning and everything in between!

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Allen for years. I have always been amazed about his knowledge and experience to diagnose the most difficult problem and correct it meticulously. In addition, his team has always been very personal, professional and very very caring. You feel like a rock star at the dentist office. Great quality work that you can trust with a caring smile!

This office is truly a comforting place to be. I have had many bad experiences with dentistry. Dr. Ken Allen and his team completely changed how I viewed the experience of seeing the dentist. I am even enthusiastic about going to my appointments now. They listen, they help, and above all...they care. I appreciate their attention to every detail. Come for the dentistry, stay for the warmth😁

Once again dr. Allen and his entire staff of trained professionals exceeded all expectations! Not only is the work done properly and with outstanding results but you are comfortable and secure throughout the entire process. The caring staff insure that not only is your experience a positive one but they actually do care and the follow-up shows this in every way. My family members who have had fear and trepidation in regards to dental work no longer have those anxieties when going to the dentist because of how good dr. Alan and his staff are at their job I cannot speak highly enough of this office and the people that make it what it is Outstanding .

Will not look for another dentist office after finding Caring Smiles. From the time I called for an appointment to seeing Dr. Allen all the way till I walked out the door the entire staff was nothing short of great and made me feel like my situation was very important and needed to be handled immediately. I absolutely cannot recommend Caring Smiles enough.

Love! Love! Love! Dr. Allen and his staff are the bomb! They make you laugh and feel like family. Dr. Allen is very thorough- making sure the procedure is as pain-free as possible and is done with perfection. Him and his staff are very knowledgeable and willing to answer just one more question. We highly recommend Caring Smiles!!!!

Ive been seeing Dr. Allen for several years and he is honest, friendly, caring, and has a great interpersonal manner. Hes alsoIalso worked me in quickly wherever Ive had a problem. I came from seeing a dentist in town who recommended thousands of dollars of dental work, and he told me I didnt need any of it. His staff is also awesome and very friendly 🙂

Best dentist in Fort Collins! Dr. Allen made me feel comfortable (Im not one to LOVE the dentist), explained everything he was doing in detail and provided many different treatment options based on my needs. Amazing service from all of the staff AND they have a saltwater fish tank in the lobby which is super cool!

I have been very happy so far with Dr. Allen and his team. They accommodated a last minute and urgent new patient, did a full exam, treated my problem effectively and with minimal intervention (thank you!), And presented straight talk about my alternatives.Doc even has a good sense of humor and made the whole experience as pleasant as possible. But Corey, whats up with the pink hair?

This dental office exceeds any expectations I had walking in. Youre greeted with a smile from Brandi and Amy and given 5-star service from start to finish. Dr. Allen and his entire team are compassionate listeners who obviously take pride in what they do. Sometimes dental work can be a daunting thing but from the minute you walk in and meet everyone, you know youre at the right place. Everything is extremely clean and the staff put my daughter and my safety first. Dr. Allen and Cory took time to explain every step of the procedure. Ive been to both Stacie and Kelly for my cleaning and again, blown away by the experience and quality care they deliver. After scarring experiences from the previous dentist I had, I will never go anywhere else. If you need somewhere that you can trust for your familys dental care, look no further.

Before my experience at Espire Dental, I was afraid of dentists. Now those views have changed. If there was a dental organization that could be considered like being at home, its Espire. I now look forward to going to my appointments.

Review №26

I hadn’t been to the dentist in several years and thought I would find one for a cleaning. Dr Allen took the time to go over everything and make sure I knew exactly what he was talking about showing me as he went through each step of a comprehensive exam. Samantha was great too! She made me feel very relaxed and got to know me. She made it seem like I have a friend I’ve known forever there. The front desk ladies were very nice and made sure I had everything I need. Everyone was concerned to get my name correct and went as far as making a note in my chart on how to say it so that nobody would get it wrong. This office is awesome 10/10 recommend it!

Review №29

Im a gray haired grandpa with 11 grandchildren (and 2 on the way). Needless to say, Ive been to many a dental office in my day, and have never experienced the likes of Caring Smiles—the name says it all! Ive had work done by both Dr. Allen and Dr. Lindsey. Each of them is fabulous! I also love all the rest of the staff! I dont believe Ive ever had the privilege—before going to Caring Smiles—of working with a professional staff (in any industry) where every single employee was both completely competent and also friendly, patient, and obviously caring. And they even communicate clearly. I mean, how often, these days, do you go anywhere where everyone you see greets you with a warm, cheerful smile and instantly goes out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Like I said, the name says it all!

I have been seeing Dr. Allen since he came to Fort Collins. He is the best! He addresses my concerns and always works with me to ensure that I am completely satisfied with the care I receive. Kelly is an awesome dental hygienist and does a fabulous job. I have very sensitive teeth and they go the extra mile to make certain the procedures are comfortable for me. The entire staff go out of their way to ensure you have a great experience. Products, services, insurance questions, they do it all.

It is always a good experience at Caring Smiles! Dr. Allen is a wonderful dentist, and him and his staff are friendly, knowledgeable, thorough, and empathetic. The office is very clean and comfortable. My family has been going there for 10+ years. Some of my married children still come back to Dr. Allen, even though they live out of state.

This is the best dental practice I have ever experienced. From the front desk to the back, it is obvious that everyone loves their job and works on the same team. It has a family feel. I tend to have some anxiety in the dentist chair, especially when I have to have a difficult procedure done. I moved into town and he was recommended to me. I already knew I needed a crown and two fillings and wasnt feeling too excited about that because I have a tiny mouth and the crown was needed for a very back molar. Dr. Allen was so expert in his work he got it done quickly and efficiently. He and his assistant were so kind, and patient in their care that I didnt experience any anxiety at all. I would highly recommend Caring Smiles to anyone.

Went to my first dentist appointment in nearly 8 years so was very nervous. Everyone here (I interacted with the office assistant, dental assistant, dential hygienist and Dr. Ken Allen) was welcoming. I didnt feel judged (for such a long period with no dental care) and I felt comfortable and empowered during my entire visit. I will be keeping Dr. Ken Allen as my regular dentist and wont be waiting another 8 years!

Instead of telling me I needed work that I dont really need, Dr. Mortensen told me that a cavity I have still has solid enamel & that it could fill in by using a fluoride mouthwash.

Dr. Ken Allen and his team are top notch. I am always welcomed by a team of professionals that truly care about me. They really take the time to accurately record notes from one dental visit to the next. For a type A guy like myself, I really appreciate their attention to detail. I have been going to Ken Allen for 14 years now. I have nothing but amazing things to say about him and his practice. I highly recommend his services and have done so. The folks I have sent his way have also really enjoyed his services.

I have been a patient of Dr. Allens for years and have always had an awesome experience there. Going to the dentist, even for just a cleaning, can be pretty stressful, but the staff at Caring Smiles makes it easier! Micheles smiling face is always so welcoming when I walk in the door. The dental hygienist, Kelly, is extremely knowledgeable. She does a great job cleaning my teeth every time and is very thorough in explaining any issues I may be having with my teeth. I admire Dr. Allens attention to detail and perfectionism when it comes to dental work and appreciate his concern and reassurance when I come to him with an issue. I have always felt like I was given good recommendations and trust his opinion. This is a very warm, inviting office and all of the staff does a great job making the dreaded trip to the dentist a little bit easier!

Amazing! Professional environment, Very friendly, Took the time to explain everything, not pushy, very kind and complimentary. Would recommend this dental team to everyone! I have never been more impressed with a Dentist office than what I experienced this morning at Caring Smiles. Everyone was happy and friendly from the moment I walked in the door. Dr. Allen and Shawna offered great advice and tips, and fantastic explanations that helped me understand everything that was going on. Kelly was very friendly and knew enough about my background to ask some fun and engaging questions. We talked for a long time about hedgehogs and mosquito viruses (who doesnt like to talk about their hobbies?) Overall, it was a fantastic visit to Caring Smiles and I am appreciative of their friendly and professional work.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ken Allen for close to 10 years. The entire staff is consistently friendly, efficient, and competent, and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Dr. Allen is a perfect blend of competence, confidence, and congeniality. He explains to me what he is doing through every step of every dental procedure, because I am someone who likes to know exactly what is happening. He is patient and inspires my total confidence from the moment he comes into the room until the procedure is complete. I can tell that he really cares about his patients; this is not just a job for him. It is his mission to truly and humbly serve all who come into his office. I would recommend Dr. Allen without hesitation.

Review №42

I heard that other dentists come here for their own care, so I tried it out and am SO glad I did. Everyone in the office is incredibly friendly. They are really accommodating with requests (e.g., I was deemed low risk which means a dentist would not look at my teeth every appointment, but when I expressed that I prefer to be cautious and preventative, they happily scheduled me with a dentist at every cleaning). Hearing this, the dentist took time to point out small concerns that were relevant to me taking preventative measures such as a nighttime mouth guard (no other dentist before or after this location have pointed these out). AFTER switching to a different dentist due to an insurance change, I deeply regretted it and, having known how my future experiences would go, would have gladly paid out of pocket to continue going here for the good service and their ability to prevent larger long-term costs such as cavity repair. Finally, if you like a personable touch, when they moved locations, they knew how much we all love their giant fish tank and sent everyone a letter letting us know that 1. the fish tank will move too and 2. other details that any other office would have listed first.

I can say without a doubt that this is the best dentist in Northern Colorado. From the moment we met, when my brother broke his tooth and they were the only dentists we could reach in such an emergency, they were compassionate and genuinely cared about the situation. They have been very understanding with my TMJ condition and have worked with me every time I go in to make sure I am comfortable and not in pain. Dr. Allen is by far one of the nicest men I have ever met and always has my best interest at heart. This office deserves the title Caring for the staff has always been to lovely to work with and really listens to me and understands my needs. I cant recommend them enough and know anyone who goes into this office will leave with a smile on their face and will feel they are truly cared for!

Was told by a less reputable dentist I needed almost $1000 worth of fillings. Got a second opinion here and I didnt need any of it. Just monitored a few spots that have been stable for the past five years, and so far none of them have turned into cavities. You can trust Dr. Allens assessment. He wont tell you to get unnecessary work done, but when something is needed he does it right. I needed a crown after one of my back teeth split along a previous filling (done by a different dentist). I flew to Colorado from where I was going to school in Texas because it was worth it to me to know it was done right by a dentist I trust. Barely felt the needle for the local anesthetic and no pain at all during the crown. My mom also got a crown from Dr. Allen and one of his own techs couldnt tell the difference between the crown and a real tooth because they match the color to you so perfectly. Cant say enough good things about this place.

Review №51

The staff and dentists at Caring Smiles are truly exceptional! Dr. Allen and his staff take excellent care of their patients. I had a crown put on and when I wasnt perfectly happy with the color, they took the time to replace it at no cost and get it just right, no hesitation!

Review №52

While I liked Dr. Allen, he was insistent that I get a procedure not covered by insurance. I had already had this procedure done once and it was ineffective. I paid $500 the first time and he wanted to charge me another $600...out of my pocket. He refused to do any of the dental work I needed and covered by insurance, until I allowed him to do this other procedure. I found another dentist who had no problem doing the other work without this procedure. I dont remember the name of the procedure, but its supposed to reset your bite. I had 3 years of adult orthodontia for that very purpose. Also, if insurance doesnt cover it, I question its efficacy.

Was not looking forward to finding a new dentist when we moved here but I have to say we hit the jackpot finding Doc Allen and his staff. I just got back from having a filling done and felt NOTHING.

Dr. Allen and staff are incredible! I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with my routine cleanings and other more major needs that I have. Getting a regular cleaning used to be an uneasy experience at my previous dentists office. Dr. Allens hygenists are a different story! They are thorough, gentle and I can actually relax. I also find Dr. Allen is willing to take the time to be considerate of your needs and what is best for you instead of his pocket book. Awesome dentist! Will never be changing dentists!!!

Review №59

Dr. Allen was referred to us by our daughter who had been going to him after we moved to Fort Collins. We were so happy to find a dentist we TRUSTED! He takes the time to answer every one of our questions. His staff is not just friendly and competent, they EXCELL at their jobs. After having been a patient for about five years I fell down a flight of stairs and needed a great deal of dental work over a period of three years. Dr. Allen worked with a team to make sure I had the best smile after my teeth were put back together. Every person in the office is exceptional. They encouraged me. They handled the insurance which became complicated. Even when he was no longer on our plan we went to him because we TRUSTED his detailed, perfectionistic care for the best smile I could have after the accident. We wont go any where else and recommend him to everyone!

About a year ago, I found myself not only in tons of tooth pain, but also overcome with the anxiety that goes along with knowing the time is long overdue to see the dentist.My wife urged me to go see Dr Allen. She had seen him once already and thought that his dental care quality and genuine warm attitude was exactly what I needed. I reluctantly went in to see him and after the first visit, my anxiety of going to see the dentist was over. He did a great job of getting work done immediately to get me out of pain, and then calmed my nerves even more by explaining to me what his thoughts were about additional work I needed to have done. It was not only his excellent work he did, but also the positive attitude that he always had that made me comfortable to go see him. I had many visits over the past year, with the most recent being just a week ago, and always had the same great experience with him, and the entire staff.I have never had any problems with billing or appointment scheduling and the front desk staff always has a smile to greet me with :) I will certainly recommend them to family and friends.

Review №69

Dr. Allen was recommended to my by my Chiropractor for TMJ issues. I wish I would of known about Dr. Allen when I started having issues with my TMJ, because the previous doctor did not take the time nor care that Dr. Allen has from day one. I have spent hundreds of dollars to be told by my previous TMJ doctore that nothing can be done except for the extreme and then it still wasnt a fix for me. Dr. Allen has taken the time to actually find out what my issues are and the care to go along with it. He is the best dentist for TMJ issues by far in Northern CO without a doubt! His staff is totally awesome too with the same amount of care. Dr. Allen and his staff are STELLAR!!! Highly recommend! A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ all the way!!! Thanks again Dr. Allen and to your staff for taking the time and care for my TMJ issues!
