Dr. Michael Barnes was born and raised in Phoenix Arizona, graduating from Paradise Valley High School in 1987 and Arizona State University in 1991. Dr. Barnes only applied to one Dental School and graduated from the University of Colorado School of Dentistry in 1996. Immediately after graduating he participated to completion a General Practice Residency at Denver General Hospital.
Dr. Barnes is considered old fashioned relative to providing great customer service, scheduling in order to not only seat his patients on time, but to see them on time and being 100% honest about the work you need.
That is the only “old fashioned” part of him. He otherwise continually educates himself, evaluates new technologies, incorporatating those technologies into his practice that actually improve his patients’ care. If Dr. Barnes feels a new technology is just “bells and whistles” in order to charge more for the same or a more inferior product, he won’t offer it.
Dr. Barnes’ office focuses on family dentistry, providing white fillings, teeth cleaning, crowns/bridges and dentures. We are fantastic on the aesthetic front, from rebuilding amazing smiles, and/or straightening them with “invisible braces” to merely whitening teeth, based on the patient’s desires.
