About Blanchard & Richardson Family Dentistry

A Littleton fixture built on doing the right thing

This practice has served South Denver since the late 1970s, when Dr. Hindman opened the doors and built a reputation the old-fashioned way: one family at a time.

In 2000, Dr. Blanchard and Dr. Richardson purchased the practice and carried that same reputation forward.

The mission is unchanged

Provide quality dental care for families without over-treating or selling unnecessary dentistry. New tools. Modern comfort. The same moral north.

Founders’ note: what every decision runs through

Do what’s needed. Do it right. Make it accessible.
Dr. Blanchard
Dr. Richardson

When this practice started, the goal was simple: give families in Littleton a place where they could get honest answers, solid dentistry, and a fair bill.

That’s still the job.

Today, we use digital imaging, a CO₂ laser, modern materials, and online scheduling. But the decisions themselves get made the same way: look at the whole person, explain what we see, and recommend the care we’d want for our own families.

Sometimes that means doing less than you’ve been told somewhere else. Sometimes it means building a bigger plan so you can finally fix what’s been bothering you for years. Either way, you stay in control, and you always know why we’re suggesting each move.

We’re here to tell you the truth about your mouth, help you make wise choices, and do the work carefully when you say “yes.”

That’s Blanchard & Richardson Family Dentistry.

How we actually practice

If you want the quick version of what it feels like to be our patient, it’s this: calm, clear, conservative, and collaborative.

Conservative first

We don’t default to drilling or replacing. We start with the least invasive, long-term solution and only escalate when it makes sense.

Whole-mouth thinking

We look at teeth, gums, bite, wear patterns, and medical history. Your mouth is a system; we treat it like one.

Access without judgment

PPO insurance, Medicaid, or years away from a dentist — you get the same respect and the same level of planning.

Shared decisions

We bring the science and options. You bring your goals and boundaries. We decide the path together.

Team & Culture

A team that stays

You can tell a lot about a practice by how long people work there.

Our team has unusually low turnover. That means:

You see the same faces visit after visit

We remember your history, your kids, and your “never on that side first” preference

We communicate with each other so you don’t have to re-explain everything every time

We take the work seriously. We don’t take ourselves too seriously. That balance keeps both patients and staff around for the long haul.
