The Denver Dentists and Implant Center

What The Denver Dentists and Implant Center does

The Denver Dentists and Implant Center is a privately held, single-location dental practice operating in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Central Denver, Colorado. Founded by Dr. Kenneth Burson in 2009 and supported by a team of approximately 25 clinical and administrative staff, the practice delivers preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry with a particular emphasis on dental implants and same-day crowns. Service lines span routine hygiene and preventive care, restorative procedures (fillings, bridges, root canals, extractions, dentures, bone grafting), cosmetic treatments (whitening, veneers, clear aligners, Botox, smile makeovers), and emergency dental care. The practice is in-network with more than a dozen major PPO insurance carriers including Anthem BCBS, Delta Dental, MetLife, Cigna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare.

The practice is differentiated by a digitally enabled clinical workflow built on CEREC CAD/CAM same-day crown fabrication, SprintRay in-office 3D printing for night guards and surgical guides, CBCT cone-beam imaging for implant planning, intraoral digital scanning, digital smile design, and soft-tissue laser therapy. Patient experience is positioned around comfort amenities such as overhead TVs with streaming, noise-canceling headphones, weighted blankets, warm towels, and a therapy dog. Revenue is generated primarily through fee-for-service dentistry, supplemented by in-house Wellness Plan ($399/year) and Wellness Plus+ ($599/year) subscription memberships, a $99 new-patient promotional offer, and third-party patient financing partnerships with Sunbit and CareCredit. Patient acquisition occurs through the practice website, online scheduling via patientsreach.com, social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Yelp), patient referrals, and local community engagement including international humanitarian dental missions.

The business is independently owned by Dr. Burson (MS, DDS, FAGD), who holds AACD accreditation and advanced training from the Kois Center and Spear Institute, with practice management led by Melodi Wheeler and operational support from Carrie H. overseeing a planned second location in Arvada. The practice accepts no Medicaid or Medicare, has no disclosed external investors, and operates without public revenue disclosure.
