Finding a dental practice that can provide comprehensive care for your entire family while emphasizing prevention can be challenging in today’s healthcare landscape. Many practices focus on treating problems after they develop rather than preventing them from occurring in the first place. What if you could find a dental home where every family member receives personalized preventive care designed to maintain optimal oral health throughout their lifetime, reducing the need for extensive treatments and creating positive dental experiences for patients of all ages?
At Sopris Smiles, we understand that Cherry Hills Village families want more than routine checkups and cleanings. Dr. Golnaz Samimifar and our team provide comprehensive family and preventive dental services that go far beyond traditional examinations, creating a foundation for lifelong oral health while building lasting relationships with patients from childhood through their golden years.
Our family-centered approach means we provide dental care tailored to the unique needs of each life stage, from pediatric patients experiencing their first dental visit to seniors managing complex oral health challenges. This continuity of care allows us to monitor your family’s oral health development over time and identify potential issues before they become problematic.
Children benefit from our gentle, patient approach that helps them develop positive associations with dental care. We use age-appropriate explanations and techniques to make dental visits educational and comfortable, building the foundation for lifelong oral health habits. Our team takes time to demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques while explaining the importance of caring for their teeth.
Adult family members receive comprehensive care that considers their busy lifestyles and changing oral health needs. We understand that adults often postpone dental care due to time constraints or previous negative experiences, which is why we focus on creating efficient, comfortable visits that respect your schedule while providing thorough care.
Advanced dental technology for efficient, comfortable treatments with same-day results and faster healing.
At Sopris Smiles, your routine checkup is anything but routine. While most people think of a dental visit as simply checking for cavities, our comprehensive exam goes far beyond basic cavity detection to assess your complete oral health picture and identify potential problems before they require extensive treatment.
Our preventive approach begins with a thorough examination that includes oral cancer screening, periodontal evaluation, bite assessment, and comprehensive review of your medical history. We use advanced diagnostic technology to detect issues not visible during visual examination, ensuring nothing is overlooked.
The examination process also includes evaluation of existing restorations, assessment of tooth wear patterns, and discussion of any concerns you may have about your oral health. This comprehensive approach allows us to create personalized prevention plans that address your specific risk factors and oral health goals.
Digital radiography allows us to detect cavities, bone loss, and other issues in their earliest stages when treatment is simpler and less expensive. Our digital X-ray system reduces radiation exposure by up to 80% compared to traditional film X-rays while providing superior image quality for accurate diagnosis.
Intraoral cameras enable us to show you exactly what we see in your mouth, making dental education more engaging and effective. When you can see potential problems for yourself, you’re more likely to understand the importance of recommended treatments and preventive measures.
These advanced diagnostic tools help us identify issues like hairline cracks, early decay, and gum disease progression that might not cause symptoms until significant damage has occurred. Early detection allows for conservative treatments that preserve more of your natural tooth structure.

Our dental hygienists provide thorough cleanings that remove plaque and tartar buildup from areas that are difficult to reach with home care alone. These professional cleanings are essential for maintaining healthy gums and preventing the progression of periodontal disease, which affects the majority of adults to some degree.
The cleaning process includes scaling to remove hardened plaque deposits, polishing to smooth tooth surfaces and remove surface stains, and fluoride treatment to strengthen tooth enamel. We customize the cleaning procedure based on your individual needs and oral health status.
For patients with a history of gum disease or those at higher risk for periodontal problems, we may recommend more frequent cleanings or specialized treatments to maintain optimal gum health. Our goal is to help you maintain your natural teeth for life through consistent preventive care.
Gum disease represents one of the most common chronic diseases affecting adults, yet it’s largely preventable with proper care and early intervention. Our comprehensive periodontal screening identifies signs of gum inflammation and infection before they progress to more serious stages.
Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) can often be reversed with improved home care and professional cleaning. However, more advanced periodontal disease requires specialized treatment to control infection and prevent tooth loss. We provide both non-surgical and surgical periodontal treatments as needed.
Regular periodontal maintenance becomes essential for patients who have experienced gum disease, as this condition tends to recur without consistent professional care. Our hygienists work closely with you to develop effective home care routines that support your periodontal health between visits.
Fluoride treatments provide additional protection against tooth decay, particularly for patients at higher risk due to factors like dry mouth, frequent snacking, or a history of cavities. Professional fluoride applications deliver higher concentrations than over-the-counter products, providing enhanced protection for tooth enamel.
Dental sealants offer excellent protection for the deep grooves and pits on the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where cavities commonly develop. These thin plastic coatings create a barrier against bacteria and food particles, significantly reducing the risk of decay in these vulnerable areas.
Both children and adults can benefit from sealants, particularly on newly erupted permanent teeth or teeth with deep grooves that are difficult to clean effectively. The sealant application process is quick and comfortable, providing years of protection against cavities.
Oral cancer screening forms an essential component of every comprehensive examination, as early detection dramatically improves treatment outcomes for this potentially serious condition. Our screening process includes visual and tactile examination of your lips, tongue, throat, and surrounding tissues.
We look for changes in tissue color, texture, or consistency that might indicate developing problems. Risk factors like tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and certain viral infections increase the importance of regular screening, though oral cancer can develop in patients without any known risk factors.
Any suspicious areas receive careful monitoring or referral for specialist evaluation as appropriate. The goal is to identify potential problems in their earliest, most treatable stages when successful treatment is most likely.
Effective preventive dentistry extends beyond professional care to include optimal home care routines tailored to your specific needs and risk factors. We provide detailed instruction on proper brushing and flossing techniques, recommending specific products and techniques based on your oral health status.
Nutritional counseling helps families make tooth-friendly food choices that support oral health while still enjoying satisfying meals and snacks. We discuss how dietary choices affect oral health and provide practical suggestions for maintaining a balanced diet that supports healthy teeth and gums.
For patients with specific challenges like orthodontic appliances, dental implants, or periodontal disease, we provide specialized home care instruction to ensure optimal results from your professional treatments.
Our preventive approach emphasizes education and empowerment, helping patients understand how their daily choices affect their oral health. When patients understand the connection between their habits and their oral health outcomes, they’re more motivated to maintain effective home care routines.
We work with board-certified orthodontist Dr. Matt Stout through BeSmyle to ensure comprehensive treatment planning when needed. This collaborative approach means you receive the highest standard of care for all your dental needs, combining preventive care with specialized treatments when necessary.
Regular preventive visits also allow us to reinforce healthy habits and address any questions or concerns that arise between appointments. This ongoing relationship helps ensure that good oral health habits become permanent parts of your family’s routine.
