Our Practice

We are the only general dentistry practice offering the full spectrum of sedation dentistry.
At Rivers Dentistry in Carbondale, Colorado, we’ve built something truly special — a dental practice where your comfort comes first and comprehensive care is our standard. Dr. Connor Rivers established this practice with a clear vision: to provide the area’s only sedation dentistry option while delivering the highest quality dental care in a welcoming, stress-free environment.

Since taking over the practice in April 2022, Dr. Rivers has transformed it into a destination for patients seeking exceptional dental care without the anxiety. We serve families and individuals throughout Garfield, Pitkin, and Eagle Counties, offering a unique combination of advanced sedation techniques and comprehensive dentistry that sets us apart from other practices in the region.

A Different Kind of Dental Experience

What makes Rivers Dentistry unique isn’t just our location in beautiful Carbondale —it’s our commitment to changing how you think about dental care. As the only practice in our area expert in sedation dentistry, we understand that many patients have avoided necessary treatment due to fear or anxiety. Dr. Rivers personally ensures that every patient feels completely comfortable throughout their visit.

Our approach centers on comprehensive care delivered with precision and compassion. Whether you need a routine cleaning or complex dental implants, we have the expertise and technology to handle your care from start to finish. Many of our procedures can be completed in just one or two appointments under sedation, making your dental care convenient and stress-free.

Dr. Rivers brings a fresh perspective to dentistry, combining years of advanced training with genuine care for each patient’s individual needs. His philosophy is simple: provide honest treatment recommendations and deliver exceptional results while ensuring your complete comfort throughout the process.

Your Investment in Quality Care

We operate as a fee-for-service practice, which means we’re not limited by insurance company restrictions when recommending your treatment. While we do accept Aetna and Cigna dental PPO plans, we’re out-of-network for most other insurances, allowing us to focus entirely on what’s best for your oral health rather than what an insurance company will approve.

This approach ensures that you receive the highest quality materials and techniques available, with treatment plans designed around your specific needs and goals. We offer various financing options to help make quality dental care accessible, because we believe everyone deserves excellent oral health care.

Our patients consistently tell us that the quality of care, attention to detail, and comfortable experience they receive at our practice far exceeds what they’ve experienced elsewhere. We’re committed to maintaining this standard of excellence in everything we do.
