Get to know Dentist Dr. Patrick T. Prendergast, who serves patients in Centennial, Colorado.

A skilled dentist, Dr. Prendergast is the President/Dental Director of Advanced Dental Health in Centennial, Colorado. His practice of dentistry is governed by that simple concept of treating your patients as you would treat your family.

Skilled in advanced cosmetic procedures, he has the expertise to treat a broad range of oral health conditions. Ultimately, his goal is to provide the highest quality care in a comfortable and caring environment. 

Dr. Prendergast grew up in the Sandhills of Nebraska, vacationing each summer in the land that would be his eventual home. After attending the University of Notre Dame, he completed his education at Creighton University School of Dentistry, graduating with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1982. He and his spouse Janie soon moved to Denver and began their private practice career. 

For his entire career, Dr. Prendergast has been a member of the local, state, and national dental societies. He has served the public by working on various committees, councils, special projects within those societies. His longest service was in the area of Public Relations/Peer Review, where he chaired the state level council for this important service to consumers. He has also presented table clinics, demonstrations, and been a spokesperson for Biolase Technologies, teaching the use and incorporation of laser technology into dental practices in the Rocky Mountain region. 

Remaining committed to sharing his knowledge, talents, and resources with the community and world, Dr. Prendergast has participated in dental mission trips to Juarez, Mexico, and remains actively involved with many charities providing pro bono dental care to patients, including the Colorado Mission of Mercy, Foundation for Dentistry for the Handicapped, Stout Street Program, and Smile Again Program. He is currently a board member for the Metropolitan Denver Dental Foundation, the sponsor of the Smile Again Program which restores healthy smiles to victims of domestic abuse.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.

On a more personal note, Dr. Prendergast and his wife have enjoyed the Rocky Mountain region in many ways while raising a family and making this area their home. They remain actively involved in constant education to improve their skills, many charities and their church. 

His life away from dentistry centers on family, friends, fishing, learning, and traveling.
