Excellence, Hospitality, and Your Smile: A Message from Dr. Thomas Gent

As the new owner of Park Hill Smile, I want to personally welcome you to a new chapter in your dental experience—one rooted in quality, trust, and genuine hospitality. My name is Dr. Thomas Gent, and after years of owning a private practice in Austin, Texas, I’m honored to carry on the legacy of care established by Dr. Angelica Seto here in Park Hill, Denver.
The Transition: A New Chapter, Same Commitment to You
Taking over a well-established and respected practice like Seto Family Dentistry is no small responsibility—and I don’t take it lightly. With over 15 years of private practice experience, I was drawn to Park Hill because of its strong sense of community, focus on wellness, and the opportunity to continue a tradition of trusted, relationship-based care. From day one, Park Hill Smile has felt like the right place to bring my philosophy of patient-first dentistry to life.

The Boutique Philosophy: What Fee-For-Service Really Means
One of the key differences you’ll experience at Park Hill Smile is our fee-for-service model. But what does that mean for you, the patient?
Unlike insurance-driven practices that prioritize volume and speed, a boutique, fee-for-service dental practice focuses on:
- More personalized time with the doctor at every visit
- Higher-grade, esthetic materials selected for long-term success
- A wellness-based approach that looks beyond quick fixes
- No rushed appointments or upsells, just honest, high-quality care
This allows us to truly treat patients like individuals—not numbers on a chart. Whether you're coming in for a routine dental exam and cleaning or exploring advanced cosmetic options, you’ll always receive attentive care, thoughtful recommendations, and a calming environment where your comfort is our priority.
Treating You Like Family
Dentistry is about relationships. I’ve always believed that how you treat people matters as much as the care you provide. That’s why I treat every patient as if they were part of my own family.
My wife and I have built our lives around community and connection. When I’m not at the office, you’ll find us mountain biking in the summer, skiing in the winter, and enjoying everything this incredible state has to offer with our children—and our two dogs, Tucker and Chloe.
This is more than just a dental office. It’s a space where clinical excellence meets real hospitality.
