If you’ve recently searched for a “dentist near me” in Englewood, you may have unknowingly scheduled an appointment at a corporate dental chain.
It happens more often than people realize.
Many offices look local. They may have friendly branding, smiling team photos, and strong reviews. But behind the scenes, they may be part of a large corporate dental organization where business decisions are made outside of the community.
At Sopris Smiles in Englewood, CO, we are proud to be different.
At a corporate office:
The dentist may rotate between locations.
Treatment plans may follow company-driven production models.
Patients often see different providers over time.
Business decisions are made by executives — not the treating doctor.
At Sopris Smiles, Dr. Golnaz Samimifar is not just the treating dentist — she is the owner.
That means:
Clinical decisions are made based on what is best for the patient — not quotas.
You experience consistency in care.
Treatment is collaborative and relationship-based.
You are known by name — not by chart number.
Dr. Golnaz doesn’t just work in Englewood — she lives here. In fact, she lives just half a mile from the practice.
She loves being part of the Englewood community — supporting local businesses, seeing familiar faces around town, and caring for neighbors who become long-term friends.
And Sopris Smiles truly is a family practice in every sense.
Her husband, Anthony, serves as the Office Manager. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by someone who is deeply invested in both the practice and the community. Together, they’ve built Sopris Smiles around shared values: integrity, transparency, and relationship-centered care.
When you call the office, you’re not reaching a call center.
When you walk through the door, you’re not entering a corporate system.
You’re visiting a local family business.
One of the most meaningful differences patients notice is the collaborative approach.
Dr. Golnaz believes dentistry works best when:
Patients understand their options.
Questions are welcomed.
Treatment is tailored to individual goals.
Long-term oral health matters more than short-term production.
We take time to explain, to listen, and to design treatment plans together.
Because dentistry shouldn’t feel rushed.
And it shouldn’t feel transactional.
When you choose a private practice like Sopris Smiles:
You build a long-term relationship with your dentist.
Your records stay in one place.
Your care philosophy stays consistent.
Your provider truly knows your history — clinically and personally.
In a healthcare world that can sometimes feel corporate and impersonal, we believe your dental experience should feel thoughtful, steady, and human.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re receiving care at a private practice or a corporate chain — we’re always happy to answer your questions.
At Sopris Smiles, you’re never just a number.
You’re our neighbor.
And we’re proud to serve the Englewood community we call home.
