Everything here comes from the registry data behind those listings: addresses, ZIP codes, provider type and registration dates. There are no ratings, because that is not what a provider registry records. What it does show clearly is the shape of the local supply and what it leaves out.
What is listed in Highlands Garden Village
The 33 listings span two ZIP codes, 80212 and 80211, and cluster on two avenues. W 44th Ave has 13 once you include the entry filed as W. 44th Ave, and W 38th Ave has 12. Tennyson St has 7 and Newton Street has 1. Between the two avenues sit 25 of the 33.
Eighteen listings are registered to individual practitioners and 15 to organizations, close to an even split. Some of the names are descriptive of what they do, such as Altitude Oral and Facial Surgery Center and Altitude Special Needs and Pediatric Dentistry, which is useful when you are scanning a list.
Thirteen of the 33 were registered before 2010, with the oldest dating to 2006. So a substantial minority are long established here and the majority registered more recently.

How to choose between them
For families, the pediatric coverage is the notable thing: 5 pediatric dentistry listings out of 33 is a high proportion, and there are 2 dental anesthesiology listings as well, which is relevant if a child or an anxious adult has been told they need sedation for treatment.
For routine adult care you have 23 general listings plus 3 clinics. Ask each one whether you see the same dentist every visit, how quickly they can fit in a problem appointment, and whether they will put recommended treatment in writing with a sense of what is urgent.
None of the 33 have a website or opening hours recorded in the registry, so calling is how you compare. Use the call to confirm new patient availability and network status.
If you need something Highlands Garden Village does not have
Three specialties have no listing here. Endodontics and periodontics both point to Wheat Ridge, 2.3 miles away, though the counts there are small at 2 and 3 practices. Prosthodontics points to Lakewood, 5.2 miles out, with 2 listings. In each case the nearest option is close but not deep, so it is worth asking your dentist for more than one referral.
For general care, Highlands Square is 1.2 miles away with 30 practices, nearly matching this neighborhood on its own. Mile High Vista has 11 at 2.8 miles and Lower Highland has 10 at 2.1 miles. Sloan Lake, West Colfax and East Highland each have 4, at 1.1, 2.3 and 2.4 miles.
Insurance and paying
The main variable in your bill is network status. In network means the practice has agreed rates with your plan and your share is worked out from a discounted fee. Out of network means no such agreement, and the gap between the fee charged and what the plan allows can land on you.
For anything beyond an exam and cleaning, and certainly for sedation or surgery, ask for a written estimate with procedure codes and have your plan pre authorize it. Ask specifically whether anesthesia is billed separately.
The registry behind these listings holds names, addresses, credentials and specialty codes, and no fees, no opening hours and no insurance networks. That is why claimed listings matter, since claiming is how a practice supplies what the registry cannot. None of the 33 here have been claimed so far.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a crown that has come off, or pain that is escalating, call the general dentistry listings on W 44th Ave, W 38th Ave and Tennyson St and ask directly for same day care. With no hours published anywhere in this neighborhood, the phone is the only way to find out who has room.
Go to an emergency room instead of a dental office if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down into your neck, if you are having trouble breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop after an extraction or injury.
If nothing local can help today, search by distance at dentist directory rather than by neighborhood.
