At **Collective Health Society** in Centennial, CO, we prioritize getting you out of pain quickly. Serving the entire **Denver Metro** area, we address toothaches, broken teeth, and injuries while maintaining our biological commitment to safe, non-toxic materials and long-term wellness. ## Immediate Care ## 100% Metal-free, biocompatible materials used for all emergency repairs. ## SameDay Appointments often available to address pain and trauma immediately. ## Safe Low-radiation digital imaging to diagnose the root cause quickly. ## The Biological Difference In a dental emergency, the priority is stopping pain. But we don’t believe in “patching” a problem with toxic materials that might cause issues later. Even in urgent situations, we adhere to biological principles. This means if a tooth breaks, we use BPA-free composites. If an infection is present, we may utilize ozone therapy to disinfect the area thoroughly, potentially saving a tooth that might otherwise be extracted. We treat conditions like: - Severe toothaches and abscesses - Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth - Cracked or fractured teeth - Lost fillings or crowns - Soft tissue injuries We serve patients from across Denver, ensuring your emergency care supports your overall health journey. ## Benefits of Prompt Care ### Pain Relief We work quickly to identify the source of your pain and alleviate it using gentle, effective techniques. Our goal is to get you comfortable as fast as possible. ### Save Your Natural Tooth Time is often critical. Addressing a crack, trauma, or infection immediately greatly increases the chances of preserving your natural tooth structure and avoiding extraction. ### Prevent Systemic Spread Oral infections don’t stay in the mouth. Treating abscesses promptly prevents bacteria from entering your bloodstream and stressing your immune system or heart. ## Holistic Solutions We employ advanced technology to treat emergencies effectively and safely. ### Ozone Therapy We use ozone gas to sterilize deep decay or infections. This powerful natural disinfectant can sometimes prevent the need for more invasive root canal therapy. ### Laser Dentistry Our lasers allow for precise soft tissue treatment and disinfection with less pain and faster healing, often without the need for traditional sutures. ### Biocompatible Bonding If a tooth is chipped or broken, we restore it with BPA-free, tooth-colored composite materials that are strong, aesthetic, and safe for your body. ### Digital X-Rays & CBCT We use ultra-low dose digital imaging to instantly visualize fractures, abscesses, or bone loss, ensuring an accurate diagnosis with minimal radiation exposure. ### Safe Extractions If a tooth cannot be saved, we perform extractions biologically—removing the periodontal ligament and cleaning the socket with ozone to promote optimal healing. ### Metal-Free Crowns For severe breaks, we offer metal-free ceramic or zirconia crowns that restore full function and appearance without introducing reactive metals into your mouth. ### Comfort Menu We know emergencies are stressful. We offer noise-canceling headphones, blankets, and a calming environment to help reduce your anxiety during treatment. ### Nutritional Support We may recommend specific supplements (like Vitamin C or homeopathy) to accelerate recovery and support your immune system following an infection or procedure. ## What to ## Expect 1 ## Call Immediately Contact our office as soon as injury or pain occurs. We reserve time in our schedule specifically for emergency cases. 2 ## Diagnostic Exam Upon arrival, we will perform a focused exam and take necessary digital images to pinpoint the exact cause of your pain. 3 ## Pain Relief & Treatment Our priority is getting you out of pain. We will discuss your biological treatment options and proceed with the chosen repair or therapy. 4 ## Follow-Up Care We will provide clear instructions for home care and schedule any necessary follow-up visits to ensure complete healing. ## Structured data ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": [ "Dentist", "MedicalClinic" ], "@id": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/#organization", "name": "Collective Health Society", "url": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/", "logo": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/main_logo-600.avif", "image": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/main_logo-600.avif", "telephone": "+1-303-223-2343", "email": "patients@collectivehealthsociety.com", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "6886 S Yosemite St. Suite #100", "addressLocality": "Centennial", "addressRegion": "CO", "postalCode": "80112", "addressCountry": "US" }, "hasMap": "https://maps.app.goo.gl/nbQTQFPU5avF18s36", "openingHoursSpecification": [ { "@type": "OpeningHoursSpecification", "dayOfWeek": [ "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday" ], "opens": "08:00", "closes": "17:00" }, { "@type": "OpeningHoursSpecification", "dayOfWeek": "Friday", "opens": "07:00", "closes": "13:00" } ], "medicalSpecialty": [ "Dentistry", "DietNutrition", "Gynecologic" ], "isAcceptingNewPatients": true, "areaServed": [ "Centennial CO", "Denver Metro Area" ], "description": "Biological dentistry and functional healthcare practice in Centennial, Colorado (Denver metro): whole-body dentistry, functional wellness, sleep & airway therapy, and advanced diagnostics under one roof.", "sameAs": [ "https://www.linkedin.com/company/collective-health-society", "https://www.facebook.com/people/Collective-Health-Society/61575273032928/" ], "founder": { "@id": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/about/#person-katie-lee" }, "employee": [ { "@id": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/about/#person-katie-lee" }, { "@id": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/functional-wellness/#person-jaci-salley" }, { "@id": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/functional-wellness/womens-health-care/#person-kristina-schieferecke" }, { "@id": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/sleep-airway/myofunctional-therapy/#person-jessica-cordell" }, { "@id": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/cosmetic-dentistry/#person-jay-ohmes" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/#website", "name": "Collective Health Society", "url": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/", "publisher": { "@id": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "Person", "@id": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/about/#person-katie-lee", "name": "Dr. Katie Lee", "alternateName": "Katie Lee, DDS", "givenName": "Katie", "familyName": "Lee", "honorificSuffix": "DDS", "jobTitle": "Founder & Dentist", "description": "Dr. Katie Lee is a dentist, author, and the founder of Collective Health Society.
