Dr. Cade Carlson
Dr. Cade was born and raised in Denver. Growing up, dentistry was always a part of his life as he watched his father (Dr. Carlson) improve his patients’ health through quality dental work.

Dr. Cade’s journey to a dental career wasn’t linear. He first graduated from Fort Lewis College with degrees in Accounting and Finance. However, after spending 5 years in the finance industry, he realized that he wanted to impact peoples’ lives in a more tangible way. After reflecting on his father’s successful, fulfilling career, Dr. Cade decided to dive headfirst into dentistry.

He was awarded his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Colorado, located at the Anschutz Medical Campus. Dr. Cade Carlson graduated with an emphasis in rural health for his contributions treating  rural communities in the far reaches of Colorado. Dr. Cade was also presented with the Colorado Prosthodontic Society Award for demonstrating  exceptional ability in providing prosthodontic treatment to his patients. Dr. Cade has obtained advance training in implantology and is a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists.

Now that he is practicing with his father, he feels honored to be a part of a family legacy and proud to provide personalized care for patients in Littleton. Ready to book an appointment with Dr. Cade? Get in touch today.

our patients say

Absolutely wonderful experience seeing Dr. Carlson. I was referred to him by a family member. As a dentist myself, I've had a hard time finding someone I trust especially since we've moved every few years. Dr. Carlson is extremely knowledgeable and has a very calming effect. His staff was also amazing! I highly recommend him as a dentist!

BERIK E.

Me and my family have been going to Dr Carlson's office for almost 20 years. His expertise is without question, he has done an outstanding job on crowns for me and my wife both and his staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Dr. Carlson to anyone.

TIM O.

Great family practice. Been here for nearly 2 years and they've been wonderful. Dr. Vance has always been great. Yesterday I had the pleasure of Dr. Cade performing my exam for the first time, and his knowledge and professionalism was greatly appreciated. I believe my dental care is in good hands with Carlson Family Dentistry.

SETH S.

Friendly, good with teeth, made sure insurance covered new x-rays before taking them, and not too patronizing :) Everything you'd want from a dentistry.

KATIE J.

Great great staff and Dr. Carlson is the best!!! He is easy going and talks to you about why your teeth care important but why it is also important over all health wise. My son who is afraid of all Dentist & Doctors did very well and it was a stress free visit.  Thank you for taking such great care of him.

MARTHA F.
