Dr. Michael Franquemont has coined an expression that sums up his approach to dentistry: you're never a stranger when you visit our dental office. That's because we take the time to get acquainted with you and your family so we can better understand your oral health needs.
In an age of big business, Dr. Mike, as our patients call him, has kept his practice small and family-run since 2005. He aims to build relationships that promote excellent dental health by effectively addressing your individual concerns.
Here are some more details so you may get to know Dr. Mike before your first visit, how he became interested in dentistry, and his approach to dental technology.
For Dr. Mike, Dentistry Is Personal
For many, being a dentist is a job. But for Dr. Mike, it's a calling.
As a youngster, he struggled with his jaw joint, called the temporomandibular joint, or TMJ for short. These disorders are disruptive for adults, causing headaches and interrupting sleep. But for adolescents, the consequences are even worse because young people need more sleep.
Then, Dr. Mike was fortunate to have a dentist who cured his TMJ disorder. From that point forward, he knew he would grow up to be a dentist and volunteered in numerous dental offices to begin building his approach early.
Dr. Mike intimately understands patients' struggles with chronic and debilitating dental issues and tempers his treatments with gentleness and compassion.
We Fully Appreciate Dental Technology's Evolution
While one cornerstone of Dr. Mike's practice is getting to know his patients as people, another is modern dental technology. Our team has the tools and expertise to solve dental issues more quickly and effectively. Dr. Mike can remember a day when dentistry was performed on pen and paper, so he truly appreciates how far dental treatments have come.
For example, in the past, when we needed a dental crown, patients would have to wait weeks before a dental lab could deliver the restoration. But our Centennial dentist office now uses CEREC same-day dental crown technology to design and create a finished crown on-site and in just one appointment.
Your Family Is Our Family at Michael J. Franquemont DDS
Dr. Mike is proud to have raised three boys in our Highlands Ranch community with his wonderful wife. When not treating patients, he spends time with family and Jordan, his black lab.
He is also an avid outdoor enthusiast who enjoys mountain biking, scuba, and photography. His favorite photographic subjects are his boys, who play basketball and football.
