Fee-for-Service Practice
Finding a dental practice that can genuinely care for every member of a family — from a child’s first exam to an adult’s restorative needs to an older patient’s implant consultation — saves time, builds continuity, and creates a level of familiarity that improves care over the long term. At Alber Dental Studio, we welcome patients of all ages and provide a full range of preventive, restorative, cosmetic, and specialty services under one roof in Boulder.
Dr. Marc Alber has been practicing in Boulder for over 26 years. The depth and breadth of services we offer means families do not need to manage relationships with multiple practices for routine, restorative, and specialty dental care. Whether a patient is bringing their child for a first cleaning, needs a crown replaced, or is exploring Invisalign as an adult, the same experienced team and the same high standards apply. Our general dentistry, restorative dentistry, and cosmetic dentistry services are all available to every patient we see.
Dental Care for Every Age and Stage
Children benefit from early, consistent dental care that establishes healthy habits, monitors development, and catches problems while they are small. We see young patients for routine exams and cleanings, apply sealants to protect newly erupted permanent molars, provide fluoride treatments, and educate both children and parents on home care that actually fits their lives. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child’s first dental visit occur by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting.
Teenagers have their own dental priorities — orthodontic evaluation and treatment, wisdom tooth monitoring, and for some, the management of early decay patterns linked to diet and oral hygiene changes during adolescence. Adults and older patients bring a different set of concerns: restoring teeth that have worn or broken over decades, replacing missing teeth, addressing periodontal issues, and in many cases finally pursuing cosmetic improvements they have been putting off. Dr. Alber manages all of these phases of dental life and adjusts his approach based on each patient’s age, history, and goals. Our complete service offering spans preventive, restorative, cosmetic, and orthodontic care.
One of the practical advantages of family dentistry at a single practice is that Dr. Alber accumulates clinical context about each patient over time. He knows which teeth have been treated, which areas require monitoring, and what the patient’s history looks like — information that is lost when patients move between practices or see different providers for different needs. That clinical continuity supports better decision-making and allows small problems to be caught before they become large ones.
What to Expect as a New Family Patient
New family patients at Alber Dental Studio begin with a comprehensive examination for each family member. For adults, this includes a full oral health assessment, X-rays, periodontal evaluation, oral cancer screening, and a discussion of any active concerns, cosmetic goals, or restorative needs. For children, the exam is age-appropriate — focused on development, hygiene coaching for both the child and parent, and establishing a positive experience at the dental office. We take time to understand each patient’s history and goals before making any recommendations, and we present treatment options clearly with the clinical reasoning behind them.
We are a fee-for-service practice, which means we do not participate directly with insurance networks. Patients submit claims to their insurer for reimbursement based on their out-of-network benefits. Many patients find this model results in higher-quality care without the constraints that in-network participation can introduce. For families who want payment flexibility, we offer 0% financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and Altheon, and we accept HSA and FSA funds. Visit our financing page for complete details. Contact our Boulder office to schedule appointments for your family.
Preventive care forms the foundation of family dental health. 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 treatments add an extra layer of protection during the cavity-prone years. For adults, periodontal health monitoring becomes increasingly important as patients age. Our preventive dentistry page covers the full scope of what we offer in this area.

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.
