OUR DENTIST is the heart of our practice. Dr. Helderman loves being a dentist and working with children. She aims to please and wants every experience to be amazing!
OUR FACILITY is designed for children, not adults. Most dental offices look like…dental offices. When you come through our front door, you will know right away that this is not your typical dental office. This is a place kids want to come to because it’s a fun place to visit! Our waiting area has a fun and interactive play area for little ones, along with video games for the bigger kids. Check out our facility.
OUR COMMITMENT to you is to provide your child with the highest quality dental care. We trust you will find the atmosphere child-oriented, the staff friendly, and our service exceptional.
OUR TEAM is amazing! We specifically choose each of our staff members for their friendliness and ability to build relationships with children. Not every person was born to interact with children all day – but we were!

The couple dated super long distance for two years, and then married. Once she moved to the states, Dr. Bella didn’t want to give up her dream of being a dentist so she restarted her dental education at University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine.
