Dr. Tom Hardenbergh

Originally from Michigan, Dr. Hardenbergh has lived across the Midwest and Southeast, and is excited to make Colorado his new home. Prior to enrolling at the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine, he worked as an actuary. This background gives him a unique perspective and understanding of the business side of dentistry.

Dr. Hardenbergh comes from a family of dentists, with three generations of experience in the field. He is passionate about providing personalized, high quality care to all patients and is committed to continuing the tradition of excellence that Meadow Hills Dental is known for.

When he’s not in the office, Dr. Hardenbergh enjoys golfing and spending time with his growing family.

Please join me in welcoming Dr. Hardenbergh to the Meadow Hills Dental team. We are confident that he will be a valuable asset to our practice and we look forward to introducing him to you at your next visit.

Your First Visit

A Warm Welcome

Dr. Tom Hardenbergh and our team have designed Meadow Hills Dental to be a welcoming place. When you arrive, you will be offered coffee and bottled water. Our state-of-the-art office features Hulu and XfinityTV for your comfort and enjoyment. We are committed to providing expert dental care while maintaining the comfort and satisfaction of our patients.

Your First Visit

When you arrive for your first visit, our staff will take a new set of x-rays to aid Dr. Hardenbergh in his examination. We use digital x-rays that reduce radiation exposure by nearly 90 percent, as compared to traditional x-rays. Dr. Hardenbergh will then conduct his examination, looking for areas of tooth decay and other oral issues. Dr. Hardenbergh also practices cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics in Aurora, CO, so please let us know if there are any improvements you would like to make to your smile. Many patients are able to receive dental cleanings with our hygienist immediately following their exam.

Had an awesome experience last week as a new patient and with my cleaning with DaVette! Honestly one of the best cleanings I’ve ever had! Great office!

Today I had a few small cavities filled and Dr. Tom and Nayeli were wonderful!! Quick, clean, and painless. They really know what they are doing!!!

Everyone is friendly and helpful from start (Margaryta at the front desk) to the whole team. They go over pricing in advance and make sure you feel comfortable.

Your Children’s Dentist in Aurora

Our dentistry for children in Aurora is dedicated to providing exceptional dental care for children of all ages. We understand the unique needs of young patients and strive to create a friendly, comfortable environment where children feel at ease. Whether you’re looking for a kids dentist in Aurora, our practice is here to ensure your child’s oral health is in great hands.

What is Pediatric Dentistry?

Pediatric dentistry focuses on the dental health of children from infancy through the teenage years. We are specially trained to care for a child’s teeth, gums, and mouth throughout the various stages of childhood. Early dental care is crucial for preventing dental issues and establishing good oral hygiene habits that can last a lifetime.

Benefits of Choosing Our Dental Office

  • Child-Friendly Environment: Our office is designed to be welcoming and comfortable for children, helping to reduce anxiety and make dental visits a positive experience.
  • Specialized Training: Our children’s dentist has advanced training in child psychology and behavior management, ensuring gentle and effective care.
  • Preventive Focus: We emphasize preventive care to help your child avoid dental problems and maintain a healthy smile.
  • Parental Involvement: We encourage parents to be involved in their child’s dental care and provide guidance on how to support good oral health at home.
  • Early Intervention: Identifying and addressing dental issues early can prevent more serious problems and reduce the need for extensive treatments in the future.

Our Healthy Start™ Program is a long-term preventive solution that teaches children good oral habits and gives them a lifetime supply of healthy smiles. Don’t worry—our pediatric dentistry is safe and natural.

Pediatric Dentistry in Aurora and Centennial!

All of us at Meadow Hills Dental love teaching kids about good oral hygiene habits and setting them up for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Experienced in pediatric dentistry, Dr. Tom Hardenbergh knows the importance of giving every child a chance with a Healthy Start™. The Healthy Start ™ System is a revolutionary method to naturally straighten teeth without using invasive metal brackets and wires.

What Is the Healthy Start™ Program?

The younger the treatment begins, the easier the treatment becomes in yielding a lifetime of permanently beautiful, straight teeth. With our younger patients (ages four to seven), the Healthy Start™ System uses the natural forces of the teeth as they erupt to guide incoming teeth into their natural positions while also allowing for proper growth of the lower jaw. Through pediatric dentistry, proper alignment of your child’s teeth and jaw not only solves bite issues, but it improves facial esthetics, interruptive sleeping habits, speech problems, behavioral concerns, and other childhood disorders.

Comprehensive Dentistry

We offer a full range of dentistry for the whole family. Some of our most popular procedures include:
