Meet Your Family Dentist & Our Team
At Elizabeth Family Dental, Dr. Terry, our family dentist, and our team of dental hygienists and dental assistants
work hard to keep you smiling.
Meet Dr. R. Boone Terry
Dr. R. Boone Terry is a graduate of the Case Western Reserve University School of Dentistry in Cleveland, OH. After earning his DMD degree, Dr. Terry completed a two-year residency in comprehensive dentistry at Fort Hood, TX. During residency, he received extensive training in oral surgery, endodontics, prosthodontics, periodontics, pediatric dentistry, and orthodontics. Dr. Terry graduated as the top resident in 2006 and was awarded Board Certification the same year — a distinction only 1% of general dentists nationwide can claim.
Following his residency, Dr. Terry was named Chief of Restorative Dentistry at Ft. Gordon, GA, where he served as a Captain in the United States Army. After six years of active duty service and numerous commendation awards, he separated from the army to pursue his dream of private practice in the beautiful state of Colorado.
Since arriving in Colorado, Dr. Terry has enjoyed serving the Elizabeth community in a number of ways — whether sponsoring our local school teams, donating protective mouthguards, or providing dental care to underprivileged children, Dr. Terry and our staff strive to make a positive difference in the communities we serve.
Dr. Terry is trained in sedation dentistry, allowing him to provide comfortable treatment options for children and adults who might need a little extra help relaxing in the dental chair. All of this specialized training allows him to perform most dental procedures in our office instead of having to refer patients to other providers.
Dr. Terry is affiliated with and an active member of the American Board of General Dentistry (ABGD), Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), American Dental Association (ADA), Colorado Dental Association (CDA), and the Metropolitan Denver Dental Society (MDDS). He was recognized as a Top Dentist in Denver’s 5280 magazine in his first year of practice.
Dr. Terry and his wife, Nicole, have three children and enjoy spending time together in the mountains, at sporting events, and in their kitchen with family and friends.
