Arapahoe Dental

Arapahoe Dental is a dentist in Boulder, Colorado. The practice is a single-doctor office led by Dr. Luciano Retana, who plans and completes every case himself, from routine cleanings to implants, so care stays consistent from start to finish. Services include general dentistry such as cleanings, exams, fillings, and preventive treatments; cosmetic dentistry including porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding, Zoom whitening, and full smile design; restorative work such as dental crowns, porcelain fixed bridges, CEREC same-day restorations, and full mouth reconstruction; prosthodontist-led dental implants from a single tooth to a full arch, including implant-supported dentures and All-on-4; gum disease treatment and deep cleanings; and oral and maxillofacial surgery covering wisdom teeth extractions and bone grafting. Sedation dentistry is available in three forms: oral sedation, nitrous oxide, and IV sedation delivered by a certified registered nurse anesthetist. The practice holds a rating of 4.90.

Dr. Retana is a third-generation dentist, prosthodontist, and certified dental technician. His training includes the University of Buenos Aires, Louisiana State University, and NYU, and he lectures internationally on implant and esthetic dentistry. Each implant case is designed from the final restoration backward, with surgery, healing, and the final tooth coordinated under one roof. Restorations are designed and built in one set of hands, with no outside lab. The practice treats TMJ dysfunction and tooth wear as part of a comprehensive bite plan, and offers care for patients with dental anxiety, sensitive gag reflexes, or complex treatment needs.

Arapahoe Dental is located on Arapahoe Avenue, about a tenth of a mile from Folsom Street and roughly the same distance from Boulder Creek. A post office and a clinic sit within a tenth of a mile of the office.

The practice is known for a positive rating from the customers who have reviewed it, and it welcomes new patients.
