Michael Janda, DDS
Dr. Janda’s path to dentistry was less a decision and more a calling. While studying pre-med at Creighton University, he spent summers shadowing medical specialists, exploring where his future might lead. One conversation changed everything: a physician remarked that he might have chosen dentistry had he given it the same consideration as medicine. That insight prompted Dr. Janda to shadow his father—a longtime dentist—and step into the office as a summer assistant. It was there that dentistry came into focus as the perfect blend of hands-on skill, lifelong learning, creativity, precision, and compassion.
Growing up in a dental family, Dr. Janda witnessed firsthand both the challenges and rewards of private practice ownership. Family Sundays spent cleaning and decorating the office, paired with observing the dedication required to care for a community, left a lasting impression. Over time, he came to appreciate not only the clinical side of dentistry, but the profound impact a trusted healthcare provider can have on generations of families.
After earning his dental degree from the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine, Dr. Janda completed a General Practice Residency (GPR) in Bangor, Maine, a program designed to equip dentists to meet the complex needs of rural communities. Mentored by experienced specialists—each with decades of private practice ownership—Dr. Janda refined his diagnostic skills, learned to manage complex cases, and developed a deeper, more comprehensive approach to patient care. Just as importantly, those mentors demonstrated how dentistry, when practiced with integrity, can positively shape communities far beyond the treatment room.
Dr. Janda later returned to Sterling, Colorado, to practice alongside his father from 2018 to 2021. There, he experienced one of the most rewarding aspects of dentistry: earning the trust of entire families and caring for multiple generations under one roof. That experience reinforced his belief in relationship-based care—dentistry built on trust, consistency, and long-term commitment rather than volume-driven models.
Clinically, Dr. Janda is committed to advanced, thoughtful care. He has pursued extensive training in dental sleep medicine, is credentialed in conscious sedation, Invisalign clear aligner therapy, Botox for therapeutic and cosmetic applications, and dental implant planning, placement, and restoration. He utilizes modern technology, including CBCT imaging and minimally invasive airway evaluation, to reduce guesswork, increase precision, and help patients make informed decisions about their health.
Trust + Communication
At the heart of Dr. Janda’s philosophy is trust and communication. He understands that many patients arrive feeling anxious or vulnerable, often shaped by past experiences. His approach begins with empathy—meeting patients where they are, clearly explaining options, and guiding them through care in the most comfortable way possible. To Dr. Janda, a successful patient experience is one where the process feels clear, supportive, and designed around the patient’s goals.
Dr. Janda is proud to establish his practice in Berthoud, a community that immediately felt like home. Much like the town he grew up in, Berthoud values connection, integrity, and people who show up for one another. Dr. Janda believes strongly in giving back through community involvement, local partnerships, and outreach efforts that strengthen the town as a whole.
Outside the office, Dr. Janda enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife Ashley and their dogs, cheering on Colorado sports teams, cooking and barbecuing, gardening, and tackling home and woodworking projects. He and his wife are also enjoying the joys of parenthood after welcoming their daughter, Mila, in May 2025.
Above all, Dr. Janda’s practice reflects the values he was raised with—hard work, integrity, and genuine care for others—and his commitment to providing dentistry that supports not just healthy smiles, but healthier lives.
