Finding a dentist in Sheridan, CO who actually knows you by name, understands your family’s history, and treats your concerns like they matter is harder than it should be. Too many practices feel like assembly lines — efficient, maybe, but not the kind of place you look forward to visiting or feel confident bringing your kids. If that describes your experience so far, Sopris Smiles is a different kind of dental home. Our Englewood office is just minutes from Sheridan, and we have made it our mission to be the practice that Sheridan families genuinely want to come back to.
Dr. Golnaz Samimifar and her team bring over 1,000 hours of continuing education and membership in the AACD, AGD, CDA, and ADA to every patient they see. Her approach is grounded in one simple belief: she wants to become your new friend, not just your new dentist. Whether you are bringing a toddler in for their first visit or finally addressing something you have been putting off for years, Sopris Smiles offers the full range of dental care Sheridan residents need — from routine preventive visits to advanced cosmetic and restorative work — all in one welcoming, technology-driven practice.
Our Englewood office is just minutes from Sheridan, and once you experience our approach to dental care, the short drive feels worth it every time. We have designed our practice around what matters most to our patients: comfort, convenience, and exceptional results. Here is what sets Sopris Smiles apart for Sheridan families:
Dr. Golnaz — as our patients call her — believes in building relationships that last. Her philosophy is simple: become a new friend, not just a new dentist. This approach resonates deeply with Sheridan families who value authentic connections and personalized attention over transactional care.
Sopris Smiles serves patients across every stage of life, which means Sheridan families can consolidate care for everyone — from young children to grandparents — in one place. Our preventive exams go well beyond checking for cavities. Dr. Golnaz screens for oral cancer, evaluates bite and jaw function, and discusses how oral health connects to overall wellness. Many Sheridan patients tell us it is the most thorough dental exam they have ever had.
Parents from Sheridan appreciate our gentle approach to children’s dentistry. Our laser technology reduces or eliminates the need for injections during many pediatric procedures, and digital scanning replaces traditional putty impressions.
For Sheridan families who have had to schedule a second appointment just to get a permanent crown, our CEREC system changes that entirely. We design, mill, and place a custom ceramic crown in a single visit — no temporary crown, no waiting weeks, no extra time off work or away from the River Point shopping district errands you came to this side of town for anyway. Our Solea laser makes the prep work more comfortable too, reducing or eliminating the need for injections during many procedures. Together, these two technologies mean your visits to Sopris Smiles are more efficient and less stressful than you may be used to.
Tooth replacement has evolved significantly, and at Sopris Smiles, we utilize fully guided implant solutions that ensure optimal results. While we refer to trusted oral surgeons for implant placement, we play a crucial role in the planning phase using our CBCT 3D imaging and CEREC digital scans to create personalized surgical guides.
Many of our Sheridan patients appreciate that they can have the planning and restoration completed close to home, with only the surgical placement requiring a visit to a specialist. This approach combines specialized surgical expertise with the continuity of care you get from having Dr. Golnaz manage your overall treatment.
If you have avoided the dentist due to anxiety or fear, you are not alone — and Sopris Smiles offers solutions that can genuinely change the experience. Our Solea laser allows Dr. Golnaz to perform many procedures without anesthetic injections. The laser’s specific 9.3-micron wavelength delivers thousands of pulses per second, which has an analgesic effect on tissue that reduces the nerve stimulation that normally requires numbing. It is virtually quiet and gentle, eliminating the sounds and sensations that trigger anxiety for many people.
We have also created an environment that feels more like visiting a friend than going to a medical appointment. From our welcoming team to our thoughtfully designed office, every detail is designed to help you relax. Dr. Golnaz takes extra time with patients who feel nervous, explaining each step before proceeding and never rushing through a visit.
Located just south of Sheridan on Colorado Boulevard, our Englewood office is easy to reach via I-25 or surface streets. The short drive gives Sheridan families access to a level of dental care that combines cutting-edge technology with old-fashioned personal attention.
We’ve designed our scheduling to accommodate busy families, with appointment times that work around work and school schedules. And because we offer such a comprehensive range of services, you can often consolidate care for multiple family members in a single visit, making the most of your time.
At Sopris Smiles, we are not just looking for patients — we are looking to build lasting relationships with Sheridan families who value quality, comfort, and care that feels personal. Dr. Golnaz and our team are passionate about helping you achieve and maintain optimal oral health while making your dental visits something you actually look forward to. Her memberships in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the Academy of General Dentistry, the Colorado Dental Association, and the American Dental Association — combined with over 1,000 hours of continuing education — mean Sheridan patients receive care that is genuinely current, thoughtful, and built for your long-term health.
Whether you are new to the area, looking for a fresh start with a practice that takes the time to know you, or ready for a higher standard of care than you have had before, we would love to welcome you in.
