Elliott Higgins, DMD

The dental staff is incredible. Their front desk, Jenny, is great. She took great care explaining in detail everything that was occurring for me that day and is always friendly. The hygienist is very efficient and talks through your upcoming care plan. Dr. Higgins is a lot of fun and you can tell he really enjoys his job and patient care.

He’s good, but *really* expensive. I’ve moved to a new dentist now, and regularly pay half of what I did to support Dr. Higgins’ laser habit.
Did a great job on my wisdom teeth, though, and Vicki, the Hygienist, is incredible.

My wife and I have been going to Pearl Street Dental for several years. We are consistently pleased with the staff and level of services provided. In addition, Dr. Higgins has state-​of-​the-​art equipment, an easy, jovial manner, a particular attention to detail and is fairly priced. He stays abreast of developments in his field, and encourages a wholistic healthy lifestyle in the best interests of his patients. As a guy in his sixties who has seen many dentists in a lifetime, I have had none better than Dr. Higgins and his superb team. I couldn’t recommend them any higher.

Dr. Elliott Higgins office is unlike any dentist that I have ever been to. The only dentist office I ever liked, seriously. They don’t treat you like a number. They really care about you, and not just your dental health, but your overall health. They have some really good reading material, coffee, tea, water, etc while you wait. They are always on-​time. Dr. Higgins is super educated and VERY knowledgeable about what he is doing. I honestly look forward to my next appointment.

I love coming in to Pearl Street Dental. This may sound nuts, but I actually feel calmer, more relaxed, and more excited about life upon leaving the office. Something about the beautiful aesthetic in the office, the Flatiron views, the super sweet staff, Dr. Higgins’ philosophy being in line with mine, all has me wanting to be there. I was recommended to them by my brother, who’s been a client for years and years. I can’t imagine going to anybody else for as long as I live in Boulder. Highly, highly recommend.

Absolutely love this office! If you are looking for a holistic dentist office this is the place! They are completely flouride free and have amazing water filtration systems throughout the office. They also sell Berkey water filtration systems that you can purchase for your home! I am thrilled to be a new patient at this office. I also had a cleaning and exam by Alesia Bergan, DDS and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a new dentist. Her personality is unlike any other dentist I have met! She is kind, gentle and very informative about different ways to take care of things. Absolute delight!

I highly recommend Dr. Higgins and Pearl St Dental. Dr. Higgins did a crown for me that was amazing. He uses precision, state of the art equipment and built a tooth for me that I was barely able to tell was new when I walked out the door. He’s thorough, explains things completely and understandably, and concentrates on what really matters now. Dr Higgins will ease your anxiety and your tooth troubles. Great office.

As it happens I am a dentist who has a daughter who is going to the University up the street. She was in need of some urgent care on a front tooth. Naturally I’m quite picky about who my daughter sees but after speaking to her about her experience I am happy to say I would have no hesitation to sit in Dr. Higgins chair for treatment myself. A state of the art facility and a staff and Dr who care about the well being of the patient. It should be noted that Dr Higgins also uses a high power microscope which any dentist worth their salt knows adds incredible precision to their work. Kudos to the staff (Jenny in particular) and Dr Higgins for reminding me why I am in the same profession

Like most people I hate going to the dentist. After a particularly bad experience with a cavity where I was given 7 shots of novocaine and then told to «just deal with the pain» I was completely phobic about the dentist. Dr. Higgins was recommended to me by a friend with the lowest pain tolerance I know.
The office for starters is beautiful. They have Planet Earth playing in the waiting room and more books than brochures trying to sell you procedures. The receptionist is always super, super nice. She is chatty if you want to chat or quiet if you want to wallow in self-​pity about having your teeth done. Even when I call too early in the morning she is friendly and helpful. A+
The hygienists are great. Friendly and helpful and as pain-​free as possible. I hate having cavities searched for by pick. Here they use micoscopes! No unnecessary poking or prodding.
The best part is Dr. Higgins though. My first cavity I was a nervous wreck. I was expecting the whole shebang of painful scrapy metal thing, big rubber thing, other big rubber mouth rest, needles, drills, pain, misery. He gave me a demo of his laser tool on his finger. It’s that gentle! Makes a loud noise, but otherwise just sprays warm water. It’s so cool! He told me «open your mouth, try to hold still.» Then zapped it a few times, filled it, and I was out the door in less than 20 minutes. Didn’t hurt, no shots, and the worst «pain» I had was water hitting my mouth.
You can really tell Dr. Higgins loves what he does. He is not like most dentists who push procedures on you, he has talked me out of procedures numerous times that he thinks are unnecessary. He is passionate about his art and constantly searching for the next cool gadget to make dentistry less uncomfortable and less invasive. If all dentists were like him, no one would be scared of it anymore.

I really like Dr. Higgins, BUT he charged me $ 2,695.00 to rebuild a tooth! I could have gotten an implant for that price — and that’s why his office is so nice. He’s really, really expensive! BUT — he’s really thorough, he uses lasers to cut down on both time and anesthesia. Speaking of anesthesia, he doesn’t use «laughing gas» so if you get really nervous at the dentist, take a pass. He does take the time to explain everything, he’s kind and he’ll squeeze you in if you’re in pain. A really nice, nice guy.
