Am working in the area but will be leaving at the end of the month. Have a toothache that will require either filling or extraction, and won't be able to return to my home dentist soon enough to deal with this. Any recommendations?

I am not in Colorado, but I can offer some pointers.
Any dentist near a city will try to accommodate stranded travelers with a dental emergency, especially if they offer cash. Ask local people at work - you'll get some good suggestions.
If you're there for a limited amount of time, a dentist would typically do their best to get you out of pain and temporize the tooth until your regular dentist can treat you. If it really can't be saved, an extraction might be necessary.
I once worked at an office near several extended stay hotels. We got walk-ins from all over the world and we always tried to help (including finding health-forms in a variety of languages). Keep in mind that the best dentists are busy and they won't want to make their scheduled people wait, but if you're patient, you can probably be worked in.

Call the local emergency room. they should have the names of all emergency dentists somewhere.
