When people meet Dr. Golnaz during their initial visit, they are immediately at ease thanks to her friendly demeanor and inviting smile. Dr. Golnaz believes that achieving your smile goals starts with a strong patient-dentist relationship. That's why she emphasizes bedside manner and takes great care in making you feel comfortable. After all, you both have the same goal - a beautiful and healthy smile!
She believes that collaborating and listening to her patients is the key to finding the solutions they need. At Sopris Smiles, she has created the ideal dental environment, one designed to give every patient the same treatment she would give to her own family.
Growing up with a mother who owned her own small business gave Dr. Golnaz a profound appreciation for the hard work and dedication it takes to run a successful business. This experience also taught her the value of treating people with kindness and how to interact with her patients at a human level.
When thinking about the most rewarding aspect of heading her own dental practice, Dr. Golnaz says: 'The sense of pride that comes along with building a place in a community where people respect you and trust you with their care captivated me.'
Dr. Golnaz was born and raised in the Bay Area in Northern California, but after one trip to Colorado, she knew it was the place for her and decided to relocate shortly after her undergraduate studies.
She then attended Dental School in sunny Florida at LECOM School of Dental Medicine. To this day, she continues to expand her knowledge and has completed over 100 hours of continuing education thus far.
Jeniffer got into the administration side of dentistry in 2015 and immediately fell in love with the job. She enjoys interacting with people daily and loves to see patients leave happy with their beautiful smiles.
She finds it rewarding to assist patients with insurance and help them understand their estimates for treatment plans. Jennifer is always looking for new ways to provide an excellent dental experience to our patients from her front desk position.
She often enjoys changing the stigma on dentistry and making people feel comfortable in any circumstance at the office. When she's not taking care of patients you can usually find her working out or hanging out with her boyfriend and her dog Odin.
Hannah completed Dental Hygiene school at Wallace State Community College in Cullman, Alabama. She relocated to Colorado in the summer of 2021. Having a gentle hand along with a kind, compassionate bedside manner is what Hannah strives to provide each patient in the dental chair. She understands how fearful a dental visit can be for some and prioritizes putting dental anxieties at ease by focusing on giving each patient the customized care that they need. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, hiking, camping, and live music.

Just like your body needs vitamins and exercise to enhance its defenses against disease and injury, your teeth need protection against decay. Accordingly, fluoride is one of the most potent means for reinforcing your teeth against cavities and other forms of dental damage. At Sopris Smiles, we want to ensure that your teeth remain healthy for years to come, and we can help you achieve this through our highly effective fluoride treatments in Englewood.
Fluoride can bind to the partially eroded minerals in your tooth enamel. When this happens, it creates a protective film over your teeth, especially in the areas left most vulnerable after a bout with tooth decay. Fluoride also attracts calcium and phosphate ions to the teeth, making them stronger and more resistant to cavities.
During the developmental years, fluoride can attach to the tooth structures and make growing teeth stronger and more resilient. Kids are more likely to develop cavities than adults, making fluoride a valuable aspect of any childs oral health routine.
The role of fluoride changes as you age. Adults have different diets, tend to consume alcohol, and are generally more exposed to variables that erode the minerals of your tooth enamel. Fluoride treatments in adulthood help reinforce your teeth and counter the effects of aging.
