Lafayette is one of the closest communities to Boulder on the Front Range, connected by US-287 and a network of roads that put most Lafayette neighborhoods within 10 to 16 minutes of Alber Dental Studio. That proximity means Lafayette residents have access to one of Boulder County’s most established dental practices without the commute that patients in Erie or Longmont face. For families in Coal Creek Village, Centaur Village, and the neighborhoods along Baseline Road, the practice is effectively a local option — with a level of clinical care that the local market does not replicate.
Dr. Marc Alber has practiced in Boulder for over 26 years. Dr. Lauren Llorente trained at the University of Colorado and completed an advanced residency at LSU. Together, they lead a family dentistry practice built around restorative, cosmetic, and preventive care for patients of all ages. With 735+ five-star reviews on Google, the practice has earned the trust of patients from Lafayette, Louisville, Erie, and across Boulder County.
What Lafayette Patients Find at Our Boulder Practice
Lafayette residents arrive at a practice that prioritizes time and thoroughness over volume. Our office is equipped with a digital iTero scanner, intraoral cameras, and digital X-rays. Same-day CEREC crowns are designed, milled, and placed in a single visit. The fee-for-service model means every recommendation is driven by clinical need — not by what a network agreement incentivizes. For Lafayette patients who have grown frustrated with rushed appointments or rotating providers, this is a materially different experience.
Dr. Llorente’s bilingual capability is particularly relevant for Lafayette, which has a significant Spanish-speaking population. Three additional team members are fully bilingual, and every service is available in Spanish from scheduling through treatment.
One of the practical advantages of a single practice for a Superior family is that Dr. Alber builds clinical context over time. He knows which teeth have been restored, which areas need monitoring, and what the patient’s full dental history looks like — information that is lost when patients cycle through different providers. That continuity supports better decisions and catches small problems before they require major intervention.
What to Expect as a New Lafayette Patient
New Lafayette patients begin with a comprehensive exam — full oral health assessment, X-rays, periodontal evaluation, oral cancer screening, and an open conversation about concerns, cosmetic goals, or restorative needs. Dr. Alber presents findings clearly and explains what is urgent, what can be monitored, and what your options are. We do not participate in dental insurance networks. Patients submit claims for out-of-network reimbursement. We offer 0% financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and Altheon, accept HSA and FSA funds, and provide an in-office membership plan for patients without coverage. Contact our Boulder office to schedule.
Preventive care is the foundation that keeps larger problems from developing. Regular exams, professional cleanings, X-rays at appropriate intervals, and oral cancer screenings are the tools that keep small issues from becoming significant ones. For children, sealants and fluoride add extra protection during the cavity-prone years. For adults, periodontal health monitoring becomes increasingly important over time. Our preventive dentistry page covers the full scope of what we offer in this area.
Why Lafayette Patients Choose Alber Dental Studio
- Lafayette residents who want fee-for-service boutique care without the longer drive that Erie or Longmont patients face

- Patients with dental anxiety who need sedation options backed by a conscious sedation permit
- Anyone frustrated with rotating providers or insurance-limited treatment plans
Lafayette has dental practices, but the combination of fee-for-service model, AACD cosmetic training, bilingual staff, and CEREC same-day crowns is not available locally. For Lafayette residents who want that level of care 10 to 16 minutes away, Alber Dental Studio is the answer.
What to Expect as a New Patient
Comprehensive New Patient Exam
Each family member receives a full clinical exam appropriate to their age and history. For adults this includes X-rays, periodontal evaluation, and oral cancer screening. For children the focus is development, hygiene coaching, and establishing comfort at the dental office.
Treatment Planning & Prioritization
Dr. Alber presents findings clearly and explains which issues are urgent, which can be monitored, and what options are available. For new family patients, we build a treatment plan that fits each member’s timeline and priorities without pressure.
Ongoing Care & Clinical Continuity
One of the core advantages of a single-practice family dental home is that Dr. Alber accumulates clinical context over time. He knows each patient’s history, which areas need monitoring, and what the long-term trajectory looks like — information that is lost when families use multiple practices.
Scheduling & Coordination
We make scheduling appointments for multiple family members straightforward. Our team coordinates timing efficiently so families can get care without excessive back-and-forth.
