Patient Resources

A few months ago, we came to SoCo Smiles after our Pediatric Dentist, Sean from Simply Smiles Dental (who is absolutely amazing), referred us to Johnson Orthodontics for my son’s front tooth—believe it or not, it was growing up into his nose. Unfortunately, after a week of unanswered calls from Johnson Orthodontics, we were feeling stuck and frustrated.

That’s when we reached out to SoCo Smiles—and I’m so glad we did. From the very first visit, the team has been nothing but welcoming and reassuring. They walked us through every step and even helped navigate the tricky insurance approvals, which was a huge relief.

This is going to be a long journey for my son, but I truly feel like he’s in the best hands possible. The care, compassion, and professionalism we’ve experienced at SoCo Smiles mean everything to us. We’re incredibly grateful.

We had a great experience! Everyone was so nice and informative. They were able to get my son in braces right away and at such an affordable rate. Thank you Smile Doctors!!!

It was a long journey with my braces but EVERYONE at Soco Miles made it so easy. I always felt comfortable there and the way they worked with my budget and my scheduling, it was stress free. I will ALWAYS recommend Soco smiles to anyone looking for the best orthodontist!!

Dr. Kofford and his staff are so kind and gentle. My daughter has a rare case of macroglossia and needs unique orthodontic procedures. Everyone has been patient in explaining what we need to do on our end and answered 1000 of my questions and minimized my anxiety. They worked perfect with my insurance. Very professional and always has a clean, beautiful facility. Highly recommend!

Other providers were not willing to help with our boys oral needs. SoCO Smiles had a plan in place to help our boys. So hopeful and excited for the next step. Thank you

This office is amazing!!! The doctor and all of the staff are so energetic and fun. They made my experience of getting my Invisalign on so easy and fun. They are all patient and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend Smile Doctor Orthodontics!

Both of my kids have been seeing Dr.K for orthodontic care here for the past three years. They absolutely love this place, the friendly atmosphere and helpful staff make every visit a great experience. Dr.K has always provided them with the best care and solutions. Thank you, SoCo Smile.

Never thought that I can still get that perfect smile now that I’m older. It’s only been 2 months since I’ve had my Invisalign and I can already see a big improvement with my teeth. Thanks to Smile Doctors for making my dream become a reality. Dr. Glitner is the best!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Soco Smiles Orthodontist! From the moment I stepped through the door, I felt welcomed and cared for. The entire team is incredibly kind, loving, and compassionate — they truly treat every patient like family. Their genuine concern for my comfort and well-being made my orthodontic journey so much easier and more enjoyable. It’s clear that they care deeply about each person they treat, and that makes all the difference. I highly recommend Soco Smiles Orthodontist to anyone looking for a caring, professional, and friendly team. They are truly the best!

Dr Kofford has always been very caring and thorough. His staff is punctual and kind and answers my questions. I would tell anyone to go to him if they needed orthodontic care!

Our daughter just got her braces off yesterday and she was with them for 2 years. They were amazing to work, very informative and everyone there has a positive attitude ⭐️Thank you all my daughter loves her smile!

Provided great service each visit and worked with me through additional trays of Invisalign until I was satisfied with my teeth alignment!

I loved using Smile Doctors for my Invisalign journey. They are very easy to work with, make appointments, and I loved doing the weekly scans. Highly recommend using Smile Doctors for my adult Invisalign. I even have my kids braces through Smile Doctors.

Lily was nervous about getting braces, and these guys made it super cool. They patiently explain the process, answer any questions, and provide financing for people without a credit check. They send the kiddos home with everything they need to care for braces, plus a bunch of neat stuff for school cleanings, and awesome advice. Super good experience.

The staff and Dr Jen are absolutely amazing. I have at least one more kid that will need braces and I will be back.

I have taken all 4 of my kids to SoCo Smiles for their orthodontic care. SoCo smiles has always been so wonderful to our family and have always greeted us with a smile. They are professional and extremely friendly. Thank you, SoCo smiles for giving my kids a beautiful smile! Best orthodontists in town!

my daughters braces got taken off recently and ong i gotta say the place is pretty goated when it comes to taking care of their patients, the doctors there are pretty nice and gentle with her gums. Recommend lol.

I came in with a lock jaw problem. Dr K knew what needed to be done to help my bite. He got right to work! Every single visit was always a great experience! The girls and Dr K were always so friendly and amazing! I have and would highly recommend SOCO Smiles to everyone I know that may need any orthodontic work done. I am so thankful for Dr K and all of the staff for this experience! My teeth look awesome and my jaw feels so much better!!! Thank you!!! 💕

And thank you to the assistants who were so kind and cheery every time I got to see them :) this office is very warm and welcoming. This is the place to come for braces!!!

We are beyond pleased with the entire process from beginning, to end! The staff always greeted us as soon as we entered, and always made our daughter feel incredibly comfortable! Dr. G and her team made braces fun and easy! We highly recommend Smile Doctors Orthidontics

Thank you so much for providing an amazing experience. My daughter was a bit nervous at first, and when she started to see the transformation with Invisalign, she started to get excited week after week. We are both very happy that she was a candidate for Invisalign, and we loved the process from beginning to end. Every single employee that we have worked with has been truly exceptional, And I would hands-down recommend :-) doctors orthodontics to anyone with orthodontic needs. Thank you so much for improving my daughter‘s smile, and more importantly, the functionality of my daughter’s bite.

SoCo was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable when it came to starting treatment. I felt they have my best interests at mind. Very helpful when transferring treatment and will recommend to anyone looking for treatment in Cañon City area!

What an amazing place. Both my boys have gone and they have been incredibly kind, affordable and so good with my boys. Amber is super understanding to their individual personalities.Dr Kofford always treats everyone with the upmost respect and is so knowledgeable. Absolutely top notch services, so grateful they serve Canon City!

Excellent Ortho with great rates. I've had 4 kids get braces and two were here, wish I had found it for the first two. Never a wait, you have an appointment, show up, and they get you back there. Finally, the results are excellent!!
Recap: Great rates, Great results and Great service!!!

The entire staff has been so kind to my daughter through this long process! Dr.K is always smiling and the ladies in the office are so sweet! We are so thankful for you! The work being done now, will affect the rest of her life in such a positive way!

Dr. Giltner truly cares about her patients and their results. Her and her staff are all very caring.

So glad to work with Dr. Giltner and her staff! She's positive and upbeat which is a great influence to her staff! Very happy with my teeth and not afraid to smile and NOT hide my teeth!

The team at SoCO Smiles has been great to work with. Our daughter needed braces and they have been exceptional each step of the way. I appreciated the communication and care they took during every appointment. In my daughter's words,

"They helped me feel very welcome and now I want to let other people know about them. I needed braces because I was missing a tooth. If anyone else needs tooth care, then SoCO Smiles is the place!"

Soco Smiles did a wonderful job. They were very patient, talked my son through every step, and made his teeth look beautiful. I would highly recommend!!

Everybody in the office always makes us feel so welcome, they are all so nice and always have smiles on their faces. NEVER had a bad experience!

I just had the pleasure of completing my orthodontic treatment at SOCO Smiles, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! From the moment I walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel so comfortable!

Dr. K is an exceptional orthodontist. His kindness and genuine care for his patients truly set him apart. He took the time to explain each step of the process and answered all my questions with patience and clarity. It was evident that he is extremely knowledgeable and skilled in his field, which gave me a ton of confidence in my treatment plan.

The entire team at SOCO Smiles is fantastic. They are always cheerful and attentive, making each visit enjoyable. The office is well-organized, and I appreciated how efficiently everything ran.

Overall, I highly recommend SOCO Smiles Orthodontics to anyone in need of orthodontic care. Dr. K and his amazing staff made my journey to a perfect smile a positive and rewarding experience! Thank you, SOCO Smiles!

SoCo Smiles far exceeded my expectations! I was treated with the utmost professional care demonstrating a warm concern for my orthodontic needs. The orthodontist thoroughly explained all of my treatment options, allowing me input into my care. The modern technology is unmatched leading to a stress free experience! The office staff were warm and friendly leaving you with genuine positive feeling. I will certainly be singing SoCo’s praises to anyone who needs orthodontic care!

I have had 2 kids go through SOCO, and have had zero problems. Everyone is really nice. Easy to contact and communicate with.

I had such a positive experience at SoCo Smiles compared to other offices I’ve been to in the past. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and listened to all of my questions and concerns. Would highly recommend if you’re in Pueblo.

Very happy with how quickly that they got me on the schedule to remedy a problem. Super Friendly and I really loved seeing little Molly. Office dogs are the best!

My entire experience from calling to ask for an appointment to becoming a patient was phenomenal. I’m new to the area and broke my retainer, I called the office to see what appointment availability was like and was able to be seen and fixed up the same day. I was also able to bring my daughter for a consultation along with me and she was able to start her treatment plan and left the same day with her braces on! From the moment I called until we checked out after our visit, everyone was so warm and welcoming and professional. If you’re looking for an orthodontist that stands above the rest, this is where you want to be. Thank you to the entire team at SoCo smiles!

I had been neglecting my old retainer since moving to the springs from the south, and was nervous about seeing a new orthodontist. I had planned on paying whatever I needed to correct some shifting. The team here was so comfortable to talk to. They also reassured me that I did not need to spend any of the money I had planned on getting new retainers. I came and got the all the help I needed through just a consultation. They are awesome!

SoCO Smiles has treated me wonderfully. From the first consult to getting my braces off, along with the aftercare plans; I feel I am at the best place for me! As an adult with a genetic issue affecting my teeth, it was difficult to wrap my head around braces as an option for treatment. Dr. Kofford has been amazing in making me feel comfortable with the process and all of the nuances that come up with my illness. The staff is courteous and professional. All locations are clean and soothing environments. I do not feel as if I am in an orthodontist waiting room. I highly recommend SoCO Smiles!!

The finished product, beautiful straight teeth that naturally wants to be smiling. My oldest two daughters are done with their treatment plan and through many visits we always had a kind and friendly experience. My third daughter avoided a major surgery thanks to the work they did at an early age, she is well on her way to her best smile she could have! Thanks for all your work team! I highly recommend!!

The staff is absolutely fantastic! I recommend them to anyone that is looking for a great orthodontic experience!

Dr. Kofford and staff are incredibly kind, professional and always have an accommodating schedule to meet our needs. The braces are off my teen and they look fabulous!

Niesha scheduled my sons first appointment and was the sweetest person!! She deserves recognition because it’s hard to find good customer service these days. Dr. K and his team are a delight and this is my second child coming in for dental care! If you’re looking for a place you can trust this is it. They also hold special events for the children to attend. We’ve been coming here for almost two years now and this staff deserves all 5 stars!!

The office is so friendly and patient, even when we have difficulties with schedules. We've had such a great experience and the process was much faster than expected. We highly recommend SoCo Smiles!!

This is the best and most honest orthodontist office. They are great with kids and adults of all ages. My daughter is a patient and as an observation the staff and Dr.K are so friendly and kind.

They are professional and friendly. Clean, modern environment and it was easy to get an appointment. We decided to go with Invisalign for our son and will be coming back for our other children’s braces in the future. We are doing a payment plan that was within our budget and an easy process to undergo as well. 10/10 a great place to go in Pueblo!

The most professional office and Dental staff I’ve ever encountered! The Dr was very caring and the staff from office manager down to assistants were amazing! Truly a blessing we went here. In an age where service is going downhill this rejuvenated my faith in humanity!

My son has been going here for about a year now. The office staff is always so friendly, and they are so efficient. I’ve never had to wait for my son’s appt. time! Hopefully my youngest doesn’t need braces next, but if he does, we will be coming back!

My son has had the best experience with SoCo Smiles with Dr. Kofford, Dr. Giltner, and the whole office staff. The staff from the front desk to the hygienist are always friendly annd professional annd make it a welcoming atmosphere. Dr Giltner always take the time to talk to me after my sons appointments to give me updates on his progress and answer any questions I have. I will definitely continue to bring our other children there and will be happy to recommend to friends and family!

SoCO Smiles orthodontics made my year so much better. Alexis was very helpful! I can at last live at peace with my now straight a shiny teeth. We even got a free water bottle! With braces, I feel free. Like I can fly.

Our family LOVES SoCO Smiles!! We have three of our children with braces and they always look forward to their appointments. I admire Dr. Kofford and his amazing team for always going above and beyond to make sure their smiles will end up perfect! We are very grateful for everything they do and can’t thank them enough.

We have been part of the SoCo Smiles family for over two years and I cannot say enough about this wonderful team! We would highly recommend them to anyone or any family that is looking for an orthodontist. Dr Kofford and his staff are some of the nicest people you will ever meet! We also loved that we could contact them easily for after hour emergencies. Hands down they are the best orthodontist team in pueblo. Thank you SoCo Smiles for being so great!!!
