Dr. Tiffany Manzo

Dentist

Dr. Tiffany Manzo grew up in Tucson, Arizona, where at the age of 12 she decided to become a dentist. Dr. Manzo loves the idea of watching families grow and helping keep them healthy at the same time. After many years of shadowing and assisting in the dental field, Dr. Manzo attended Arizona State University for her B.S., and then the University of Colorado for her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Dr. Manzo is an active member in the Colorado Dental Association, the American Dental Association, and the Metro Denver Dental Society.

Dr. Manzo has been living in and enjoying Colorado since 2006. In 2010, she began practicing dentistry.  She spends half of her time practicing dentistry inside of nursing homes, and the other half at Applewood Dental.

Dr. Manzo has one son (Lalo), one cat (Feather), and a wonderful husband (Jeremiah).  She loves to garden, travel, ski, read, and golf. She is excited to be a part of the Wheat Ridge community, and to be able to invite you to Applewood Dental.

Passionate about preventative and conservative dentistry, Dr. Manzo looks forward to providing the best care to your entire family.
