October is National Dental Hygiene Month & National Orthodontic Health Month!

Not all superheroes wear capes… some wear scrubs, masks, and loupes!

Behind every healthy, confident smile is a team of dental superheroes, each bringing their own unique superpowers to the mission of exceptional patient care!

🪥 Dental Hygienists: The Defenders of Healthy Smiles!

Armed with the powers of prevention, education, and early detection, our hygiene heroes are on the front lines protecting patients against gum disease and other oral health challenges.

😁 Orthodontists: The Masters of Alignment!

With the power to transform smiles and improve bite function, our orthodontic heroes tackle complex alignment challenges, guide dental development, and help create healthy, functional smiles.

🦷 Oral Surgeons: The Surgical Superheroes!

When impacted teeth, complex extractions, or surgical challenges arise, oral surgeons bring specialized skills to the rescue! From exposing impacted teeth for orthodontic treatment to addressing complex surgical needs, they're ready to support the mission.

Together, We're an Unstoppable Team!

Every superhero has a special power, but the real magic happens when those powers unite!

At Pikes Peak Oral Surgery, we're proud to join forces with our incredible dental hygiene and orthodontic partners to provide coordinated, comprehensive care for our patients.

This October, we're celebrating the superheroes behind the smiles and thanking our referring dental teams for the trust, collaboration, and dedication they bring to every patient!

Happy Birthday, Kaylee!

Please join us in wishing our wonderful Patient Scheduler, Kaylee, a very Happy Birthday!

Although Kaylee is one of the newest members of our PPOS family, it feels like she's been with us forever! From day one, her positive mindset, cheerful personality, and warm spirit made her someone we all naturally gravitated toward. She immediately felt like family, and we know our patients feel that same warmth and kindness!

Kaylee, we are so grateful for the joy and positivity you bring to our team each day. We hope you have a fabulous birthday weekend filled with laughter, love, and all the things that make you smile!

We are so thankful you're part of the PPOS family!

🦷 Serving Colorado, One Smile at a Time!

Last weekend, dental professionals and volunteers came together in Cripple Creek for the 2026 Colorado Mission of Mercy (COMOM)—two days dedicated to providing dental care at no cost to people in need.

For two days, Cripple Creek–Victor High School was transformed into a large-scale dental clinic where patients could receive services including cleanings, fillings, root canals, extractions and other essential dental care.

COMOM is a powerful reminder of what can happen when the dental community comes together with one shared purpose: helping people.

Since 2007, COMOM has served more than 21,000 patients and provided over $19 million in donated dental services throughout Colorado.

At Pikes Peak Oral Surgery, we believe strongly in supporting the communities we serve and in working alongside our fellow dental professionals to improve access to care.

To every dentist, oral surgeon, hygienist, assistant, healthcare professional and community volunteer who gave their time and talents this weekend—thank you for making a difference.

We are proud to be part of a dental community that shows up for Colorado. ❤️🦷

Happy Birthday to our Practice Administrator, Marci!

Marci has been part of the Pikes Peak Oral Surgery team for just over a year, and let’s just say—she came in and whipped us into shape! 😄

Her leadership, organization, insight, and ability to keep all the moving pieces moving have helped make our practice more efficient, more organized, and all-around better. We are incredibly grateful for everything she brings to our team and for the positive impact she has made in such a short time.

Marci is celebrating her birthday in Italy this year, and we hope she is soaking up every minute—sightseeing, enjoying the opera, making memories with her family, and of course, eating plenty of amazing Italian food!

Marci, thank you for your leadership, your dedication, and for always keeping us on track.

Happy Birthday from your entire PPOS family! We hope Italy is giving you a birthday to remember!

September is Gum Care Month—and healthy gums matter in oral surgery, too.

When we think about oral surgery, we often think about teeth and bone. But healthy gum tissue plays an important role in protecting the structures beneath it and supporting healing after a procedure.

For patients receiving dental implants, healthy gums are especially important. The tissue surrounding an implant helps create a protective barrier, while good oral hygiene helps reduce the risk of inflammation and infection around the implant.

Gum health also matters before and after procedures such as tooth extractions, bone grafting, and implant placement. Following post-operative instructions, keeping the mouth clean as directed, avoiding to***co, and maintaining routine care with your general dentist all help support the healing process.

And sometimes, changes in the gums can signal that something deeper is happening. Persistent swelling, drainage, tenderness, recession, or changes around a tooth or implant deserve attention.

At Pikes Peak Oral Surgery, we’re proud to partner with our referring dentists and dental specialists because long-term oral health is a team effort—from the gums to the bone and everything in between.

This September, give your gums some love. A healthy smile needs a healthy foundation.

Learning, collaboration, and a little fun! 🦷🍻

Our Save vs. Extract CE event, sponsored by Pikes Peak Oral Surgery and Endodontic Specialists of Colorado, brought the dental community together at Goat Patch Brewing Company for an evening of education, conversation, and connection.

When it comes to saving the tooth or extracting the tooth, the best patient outcomes happen when we work together. Endodontists, oral surgeons, and general dentists each bring a unique perspective—and collaboration helps us determine the right path forward for every patient.

Events like this are about more than CE. They’re about strengthening relationships, sharing knowledge, and supporting the dentists we have the privilege of working alongside.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We look forward to bringing our dental community together again at future events!

Happy Birthday, Jess!

Fun, lively, quirky, creative—and completely one of a kind. Jess brings an energy all her own to Pikes Peak Oral Surgery, along with fresh ideas, plenty of laughs, and a little bit of unexpectedness that keeps us all on our toes. 💕

She may have left us for a little while, but some people are simply meant to find their way back home. And we’re SO glad she did! ❤️

Jess is a big part of what makes the PPOS family what it is, and today we get to celebrate everything that makes her, HER.

Happy Birthday, Jess! We’re so lucky you found your way back to us—and PPOS just wouldn’t be the same without you!
