Services
Pearl Street Dental has a wonderful network of patients from all walks of life. It's by far, one of the best parts of the practice. Our patient interactions and consultations always start with a thorough dental examination and a current health history review. After meeting and greeting our patients, we listen carefully to their particular issue(s) as well as review their health and dental concerns in general.
Dentistry is more comfortable, affordable and enjoyable when the right steps to safeguarding your oral health have been taken. A healthy body starts with healthy teeth. The health of your teeth has a huge impact on your overall health and general well-being. Bacteria from periodontal disease can lead to serious health conditions like heart disease, stroke, low birth-weight babies, and tooth loss.
Pearl Street Dental gives you the opportunity to gain a naturally beautiful smile you may have thought impossible. Whether your smile imperfections are few or many, our team has the training and artistry needed to transform unsightly dental conditions into a smile you'll want to share every chance you get.
When modern dental therapy fails or is inappropriate, gentle laser assisted extraction is the best choice. We are always amazed at how comfortable our patients feel after we have extracted a chronic problem tooth and bio-stimulated the area as well as detoxified the site with our lasers. Lasers are used to "release" the tooth.

Transition from Dr. Higgins (who recently retired) to Dr. Moynier was smooth and greatly appreciated they could fit me in immediately to address a painful tooth issue.

I cannot say, "thank you" enough for your honesty and consideration. Thank you for listening and considering my needs as unique to me. This is truly empowering, and my (life) experience today with Dr. Moynier was just right! ~Carol Keeter

AMAZING care. My son is a student at CU and had a dental emergency that came up on a Friday night. I was able to leave a direct message for Dr. Moynier that evening and he called me first thing Saturday morning. He then shifted his day around to get my son in on a Saturday (they aren't even open on Saturday) and quickly assessed the situation and a game plan. Really lovely care, really lovely doctor.

Dr. Higgins was the reason I came to this practice. He was warm, kind and very empathic to clients who have a history of childhood dental work trauma and came very highly recommended. And while Nitrous was not available for fear and anxiety, Dr. Higgins offered a small prescription of anxiety reducing medication to take the day of the procedure. Unfortunately during the pandemic he chose to retire (well deserved of course) and even more unfortunate is that the practice is now in the hands of Dr. Moynier.

And while the details of my time with Dr. Moynier are pertinent, I will instead cut to the chase: After almost 6 hours in the chair and a very significant amount of trauma as the pain & anxiety medication wore off midway as did much of the anesthetic, I was most struck by the profound absence of warmth, kindness and empathy offered. They were very clearly in a rush to get to the next patient and as I sat shaking in the chair they simply offered me a tissue to wipe my tears instead of any real acknowledgment of my visible suffering. Afterwards nothing additional was offered with the exception of all of the work he would still need to do in the future.

And when I was told he would be adding an additional procedure and drilling a hole into a tooth it was not communicated to me that it was being drilled into a very expensive porcelain crown I had had done by a previous dentist. The very worst part for me was actually the simple fact that no one from the office (not the Dr., the assistant, or even the the of front office manager whom I happen to really like) called me the next day or in the following days to see how I was feeling after a very long and visibly traumatizing visit to their office. NO.ONE.CALLED.? What?

Even our Veterinarian calls following a significant appointment for our pets. I am truly shocked by my experience and am confused by how to proceed as I was told AFTER the appointment had completed that I had only been given a "temporary" filling in my now destroyed crown and would need to return should I wish to have a permanent filling done. The communication throughout was poor, I felt as though I was insignificant throughout, it was rushed due to the amount of time they clearly didn't anticipate that I needed despite my X-rays at the beginning of the appointment and most importantly the tremendous lack of empathy I experienced in regards to any follow up to my very long, clearly traumatizing and very expensive day in the chair.

At what point will dentists choose to recognize the significant psychological, emotional impact that having hours of sustained dental/physical trauma has on an individual? Can dentists and their staff be educated to understand how the simplest acts of kindness and even a quick telephone follow up can significantly shift the experience for the patient?

This feels like Basic Human Kindness 101 to me. And it also feels like so little to ask. P.S. Two weeks later I am still in significant pain and discomfort and still have not heard from anyone in the office. Needless to say I can no longer recommend Pearl Street Dental.

Today I had my bi-annual cleaning with Lindsay, who has been my excellent oral hygienist for the past six years. Pearl Street Dental is very lucky to have her as an employee!

I was very pleased with my initial exam at Pearl Street Dental. I believe I received the best care and evaluation possible from Laura and Dr. Higgins. Also the office was modern, up to date and CLEAN!

I love coming here because the staff is so friendly. Laura did a great job on my teeth cleaning and the new dentist Dr. Moynier was knowledgeable and kind as well. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

This is the best possible dental care on every level. Dr. Higgins and his staff provide the mostly highly skilled dental care available anywhere. His hygienists are top caliber, and his own skills are unsurpassed - you should see his crowns! Over the 20+ years I've been coming to Dr. Higgins, I've watched him continually upgrade to the most modern technology, resulting in the best possible care.

A "nervous" patient (from a bad experience as a child), I've had nothing but comfortable and reassuring visits, and my teeth are ready to take on the world. You can't do better.

Dr. Higgins and his staff are amazing! They are very knowledgeable and they get the job done right. I had my four upper front teeth crowned and he did an incredible job. I now have a beautiful smile. Having any dental work done in the past would really scare me. Now that I see Dr. Higgins I look forward to my office visits. He always explains all options and never tries to push unnecessary procedures. I have a lot of confidence in him and his staff. I highly recommend this practice.

Pearl Street Dental is amazing! Dr. Higgins is top notch with a great sense of humor to boot, and always helps explain whatever is going on with any procedure he's performing. Additionally, the hygienists are all fantastic, incredibly professional, and do a fantastic job. Going to the dentist isn't always the most fun thing to do, but the team at Pearl Street Dental makes every visit smooth, quick, and (relatively) painless!
