Our story, our dentists
About Comfort Dental
Dental care should be accessible to everyone.
Comfort Dental started in 1991 on a simple but uncommon idea:
Quality dental care should be affordable and available to everyone.
35 years later, that founding belief still drives the way the business operates and grows, from our pricing and our hours to the communities Comfort Dental teams show up for.
Since 1991
The Comfort Dental Story
Dr. Rick Kushner graduated from Marquette University School of Dentistry in 1977, opening the first Comfort Dental practice in Lakewood, Colorado, that same year.
His core belief — that everyone should have access to high-quality dental care — informed the business' core practices, from its fee scale to operating hours.
Dr. Kushner's flagship practice has since grown into a thriving network of independent offices reaching across 10 states, each connected by an aptly chosen name, a trusted history, and a shared belief system.
Why should you choose Comfort Dental?
Comfort Dental grew into one of the largest dental franchise organizations in the United States by approaching the industry differently.
We built our business on a commitment to real community dental care, making high-quality dentistry more convenient and more affordable for people in more communities. It's not the norm in dentistry, but we believe it's better — and we know it's needed.
