Tariq Sawaqed, DDS

Master Fellow, International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI)

Dr. Tariq Sawaqed, DDS, is a Master Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) with a strong focus on dental implant and full-arch rehabilitation. He earned his Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) in Jordan in 2002, completed a master's degree in dentistry in Jordan in 2007, and received his DDS from the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine in 2009. He has practiced dentistry in the United States since 2009. After years of treating thousands of patients in Colorado and seeing the barriers that keep people from the care they need, he established Arvada Implants and Cosmetic Dentistry.

Dr. Sawaqed helps patients with missing or failing teeth, from a single implant to full-arch treatment. He uses digital implant planning, guided workflows, CBCT imaging and intraoral scanning to plan each case carefully, and the office is equipped for modern digital dentistry and full-arch treatment.

Digital dentistry and 3D printing are among his biggest passions. He believes they make dentistry easier, faster and more predictable for patients, and he spends an average of 10 to 15 hours every month on continuing education to keep learning new techniques.

His practice is built on transparency, flexibility and compassion, with every patient treated like family. Patients get a clear explanation of what to expect for both treatment and cost, and the team helps each patient find a financing option that fits their budget. Dr. Sawaqed never recommends a treatment he wouldn’t recommend to his own loved ones, and the practice stands behind its work 100%.

Outside the office, Dr. Sawaqed enjoys spending time with his family. He has been married to his wife, Yara, for 16 years, and they have three children, Andrew, Ava and Ethan. He enjoys playing with his kids in the backyard and coaching their soccer teams.
