When a tooth is damaged, decayed, or missing, it affects more than just your smile — it can change how you eat, speak, and feel about yourself every day. Restorative dentistry exists to address exactly these challenges. At Sopris Smiles, Dr. Golnaz Samimifar and our team restore teeth with a focus on long-term health, proper function, and results that look completely natural.
Our Englewood office is just minutes from Sheridan, and patients come to us because we combine genuine private-practice care with technology that most practices simply don’t invest in. According to the NIDCR, nearly 92% of adults aged 20 to 64 have had dental caries in their permanent teeth — restorative treatment is one of the most common needs we address. See everything our Sheridan area dental practice provides.
At Sopris Smiles, we believe restoring your smile should feel like partnering with someone who genuinely cares about your outcome. Led by Dr. Golnaz Samimifar, our team brings over 1,000 hours of continuing education and membership in five professional dental organizations to every case. We treat not just the tooth but the context around it — your bite, your bone structure, your long-term stability.
Restorative dentistry refers to any treatment designed to repair or replace damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. The goal is to restore both structure and function while preserving as much natural tooth as possible. What sets restorative care apart is the emphasis on function alongside aesthetics — a tooth that looks whole but doesn’t work properly is not a success.
What sets restorative care apart from purely cosmetic treatments is the emphasis on function alongside aesthetics. We don’t just want your smile to look whole — we want it to perform the way it’s supposed to. When teeth are missing or compromised, neighboring teeth can shift, bite alignment can suffer, and the jawbone can even begin to weaken over time. Addressing these issues promptly with the right restorative solution protects your long-term oral health.
Advanced dental technology for efficient, comfortable treatments with same-day results and faster healing.
We offer a complete range of restorative treatments, from simple fillings to complex implant-supported restorations, each planned around your specific anatomy and long-term goals.
Composite resin matched precisely to your natural tooth color. Bonds directly to tooth structure for a strong, discreet repair that blends seamlessly with your smile.
Custom ceramic crowns designed, milled, and placed in one appointment. No temporaries, no second visit. See our same-day crown page for details.
A fixed restoration filling a missing tooth gap. Dental bridges use crowns on adjacent teeth to anchor a natural-looking prosthetic, restoring bite function and preventing drift.
We collaborate with a board-certified oral surgeon for placement and complete the custom abutment and crown in-office using CBCT imaging and CEREC scanning for precise positioning.
When decay is caught early, a simple composite filling is often all that is needed. We use tooth-colored resin that bonds directly to your tooth structure — no dark metal, no drilling away healthy enamel unnecessarily. The result blends seamlessly and holds up well with normal care.
Our CEREC system allows us to design, mill, and seat a high-quality ceramic crown in a single appointment. No temporary crown, no second visit, no waiting. We take a digital scan, design the restoration on-screen, mill it in our in-office unit, and place it — typically in under two hours. This technology changes what restorative care looks like for patients who have had to schedule multiple visits in the past.
When one or more teeth are missing, a dental bridge is a time-tested option for closing the gap and restoring your bite. A bridge anchors to the teeth on either side of the space using custom-fit crowns, with a natural-looking prosthetic filling the gap. It prevents neighboring teeth from drifting and restores the function you have lost.

For patients who have had implants placed by an oral surgeon, we complete the restoration with a custom abutment and crown. We use CBCT 3D imaging in planning so the final restoration is positioned precisely for both appearance and bite function. Our fully guided approach to dental implant restorations means we work closely with the placing surgeon to ensure the implant lands exactly where the ideal crown requires it.
Modern restorative dentistry is far more precise than it was even a decade ago. Our CBCT 3D imaging evaluates teeth, roots, and surrounding bone in three dimensions — catching issues that flat X-rays miss. Our Solea® CO2 laser allows many soft-tissue procedures to be performed without anesthetic injections, which is especially valuable for patients who have anxiety around needles.

The full process — scanning, designing, milling, and placing — typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours in one appointment. You leave with a permanent ceramic crown, no temporary, no second visit.
Fillings repair smaller areas of decay within a tooth. Crowns cap the entire visible portion and are used when damage is more extensive, when a tooth has cracked significantly, or after a root canal. Dr. Golnaz always recommends the most conservative option that will hold up reliably long-term.
We handle the planning, CBCT imaging, and restoration for implant cases and work with a trusted oral surgeon for placement. Our fully guided approach ensures the implant is positioned precisely for the best possible final restoration. See our Sheridan restorative dentistry page for more.
Common signals include persistent temperature sensitivity, pain when biting, visible chips or cracks, or a loose or lost filling. Sometimes there are no obvious symptoms, which is why regular exams matter. Dr. Golnaz uses CBCT imaging and a thorough clinical evaluation to catch problems before they become urgent.
