A native of Colorado, Dr. Cara Mudd received her bachelors degree and D.D.S. fromCreighton Universityin Omaha, Nebraska. After three years as a general dentist in Colorado, she was Dental Director in arural community health clinicthat treated uninsured and low-income children in Washington State. Dr. Mudd then completed a two-year post-doctoral residency in Pediatric Dentistry at theUniversity of Washington, where she also served as Chief Resident. Dr. Mudd is Board Certified, American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.

As a mother of two young boys, Dr. Mudd recognizes that every child has individual needs, and she takes pride in the compassionate, personalized care that she delivers to every child. In their spare time, Dr. Mudd and her family enjoy skiing, hiking, camping, biking and watching movies.

A: Specializing in Pediatric Dentistry was a very easy decision. I had worked for several years in General Dentistry and while I enjoyed it, I found that treating children was highly rewarding.I was proud to be accepted for the Pediatric Dentistry residency program at the University of Washington and have enjoyed every moment of having my own practice back home here in Colorado. Now I get to see kids all day!

A: Having two little boys is a lot of fun, but it can be demanding too. I have a better appreciation now that even the best plans sometimes dont get realized. And when a mother of a toddler confesses that sometimes teeth just dont get brushed twice a day, I get it.We all do the best we can.

A: I would love to hear that they had fun at the dentist!I hope parents will say that he or she felt confident that their child was receiving the best possible care, and I want the child to be excited to come back!

Dr. Clay grew up in the small town of Selma, Alabama. She attendedBirmingham-Southern Collegethen graduated from theUniversity of Alabama School of Dentistryin 2007. She relocated to Denver, Colorado and completed a one-year General Practice Residency atDenver Health Hospital. For the following five years, Dr. Clay practiced general dentistry for Denver Health. Working alongside a pediatric dentist, Dr. Clay realized her passion was in pediatric dentistry so she returned to her home state of Alabama to complete a two-year residency in pediatric dentistry. During her time in Alabama, she served as the Chief Resident of the Pediatric Dentistry Program, an honor bestowed upon her by the faculty. Dr. Clay earned her Board Certification in 2017.

I love watching the kids grow and evolve. They come in as tiny tots who are often a bit apprehensive, and before you know it they are seniors in high school, ready to go out and do great things in the world!

Born and raised in rural Montana, Dr. Stormi Winter received her bachelors degree in Cell Biology and Neuroscience from Montana State University followed by her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine. Although she fell in love with Colorado, she could not pass up the opportunity to complete her two-year post-doctoral residency at The Ohio State University and Nationwide Childrens Hospital in Columbus, Ohio (Go Bucks!), where she obtained both her Master of Science and Certificate in Pediatric Dentistry. During her two years of training in Ohio at a level-one trauma center and serving as Chief Resident, she gained extensive experience in managing emergency trauma, restorative dentistry, behavior guidance, orthodontics, preventative dentistry, atraumatic restorative techniques, and treatment of patients with special healthcare needs, as well as providing care utilizing nitrous oxide, moderate sedation, and general anesthesia.

In her free time Dr. Winter enjoys traveling, hiking, skiing, scuba diving, trying new cuisine, camping, and boating. And yes, her name is real! She enjoys all of her hobbies alongside her loving husband, Nick Winter, a Denver native.

A: In the years before I applied to dental school, I worked for a program in my home state of Montana that coordinated pediatric dentists to travel to rural elementary schools to provide exams and preventative services to geographically isolated and underserved children. I was astonished to learn how many children do not have access to healthcare or specialists for many different reasons. It was during that time that I became passionate about providing care for children as well as advocating locally and nationally to break down the barriers to access quality healthcare that many families face.

I love interacting with kids, because they keep you on your toes! You never know what they are going to say and it allows us to have fun all day long at work. It is so enjoyable to watch them grow and I feel so proud learning about their accomplishments both inside and outside of the office. I love learning about each childs unique qualities and personalizing their care to maximize their strengths.

I would love to hear that they enjoyed their visit and that somehow our team had a positive impact on their childs life, no matter how small. I would love to hear that the child had fun and that the parents felt confident that they received the highest quality of care!

We also believe that kids respond best to an environment that caters to their unique needs. Thats why we take the time to make kids feel welcome from toys to play with and movies to watch, to the way we talk to them and explain our procedures.

We will gladly help you receive your benefits from your dental insurance company. As a courtesy to you we will file all claims to your dental insurance, however, you are responsible for all charges or payments due for services we provide. We strive to give you the most accurate estimates our resources allow, yet it is crucial you understand that as your childs dental care provider our relationship is with you- not your dental insurance company.

Facts about dental insurance: Most insurance companies ONLY PAY A PORTION of the fees incurred. Many patients think that their insurance pays 90%-100% of all dental fees. This is not true! Most plans only pay between 50%-80% of the average total fee. Some pay more, some pay less. The percentage paid is usually determined by how much you or your employer has paid for coverage, or the type of contract your employer has set up with the insurance company. Our office does not determine your dental benefits. We are considered an in-network provider for the majority of PPO insurance plans in our area. Our fees fall within the acceptable range for most insurance companies. Some insurance companies use a different fee schedule which does not comply with the standard and cost of care in this area and you will be responsible for any cost differences. Any necessary adjustments to our fees will be applied to services according to our office contract with each insurance company. You may notice that your dental insurer reimburses our office at a lower rate than our actual fee. Sometimes they state that the fee was reduced because ours has exceeded the UCR or usual, customary or reasonable fee. This statement can be misleading. As a preferred provided with your insurance company, we have agreed to accept your insurance companies fee, which we do not control and they determine. We are always happy to help you sort out this information and better understand your dental insurance. Please call our office if you have questions about the fees and reimbursement rates. Dont forget about your deductible and co-payments. Here is an example of how deductibles are applied:

If youd like, we can submit a dental pre-determination to your dental insurance for an estimate on your childs treatment. This may take 4-6 weeks to be returned to our office. You may also check with your insurance carrier to get any estimated benefits. Please keep in mind these too are only estimates, and are not a guarantee of payment or coverage.

Most importantly, remember that your insurance coverage is an agreement between you and the insurance carrier. We make every effort to provide you with an accurate estimate. Final responsibility for any unpaid balance will be yours.

We recognize that sometimes an account balance may be incurred. If your balance is not paid in full within 30 days after receipt of statement, an interest rate of 1.5% monthly (18% annually) will accrue.

If you have trouble making your payment, please contact our office to discuss payment options. If we have not received payment or you have not contacted our office within 90 days, further action may be taken with a collection agency and additional fees may be incurred.

We will take reasonable steps to provide free of charge language assistance services to people who speak languages we are likely to hear in our practice and who dont speak English well enough to talk to us about the dental care we are providing.

Tomaremos acciones razonables para proporcionar servicios de asistencia lingustica gratuitos a aquellas personas cuyo lenguaje escuchemos frecuentemente en nuestro consultorio y que no hablen un ingls lo suficientemente bueno como para hablar con nosotros sobre el servicio odontolgico que suministramos.
