Hi! I am Dr. Heather Stamm, and I believe in the power of a smile. In fact, it was the power of my own smile that inspired me to become a dentist. After braces restored my bite and enhanced my smile as a child, I was inspired to provide the power of a smile to others. I believe in treating my patients with kindness and respect. I believe it is the little things that make my patients more comfortable about coming to the dentist.
I was born in Scottsdale, Arizona, and graduated from Arizona State University with a major in nutrition in 1998. I then attended Creighton Dental School and graduated with my Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 2002.
Outside of dentistry, I enjoy taking advantage of Colorados beautiful outdoors, including snowboarding, cycling, and hiking. I love gourmet cooking and spending time with my husband Eric and our two kids.
I fell in love with chiropractic and wellness as a patient while attending University of Arizona. I was on the dance team there and injured my back and could barely walk, so I finally decided to take a chance on chiropractic. I had been told as a child never to see a chiropractor because of my scoliosis by my Pediatric Orthopedic, so I was scared to try it. I wore a spinal brace from 5th grade to 9th grade and was living with daily back pain at that point. I felt immediate relief after my first chiropractic adjustment. I became a regular patient and could not believe how much it helped my mobility, pain, sleep and even immune function. I began working at the practice as the receptionist and saw firsthand it wasnt just me getting amazing results. I was inspired and changed my career path from dentistry to chiropractic.
I think having had chronic pain gives me a unique level of understanding and compassion for my patients and what they are going through. I also realize through my own healing journey that chiropractic is just one part of my tools for wellness. Nutrition, proper exercise and stress management have all become passions of mine. I love helping people see that they have the power to make positive changes in their own lives, to add vitality, quality and length to their lives.
Hello, my name is Dr. Sarah Forsberg! I look forward to getting to know you better, so first I will share a bit about myself with you. I was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan so I was blessed to spend my childhood on the beaches of Lake Michigan. Dentistry brought me to Denver where now I play in the mountains and plan to stay.
I graduated from The University of Michigan with a bachelors degree in Neuroscience. My training continued in Cleveland, Ohio at the Case Western Reserve University where I obtained a Doctorate of Medicine in Dentistry. Throughout dental school, I served my peers as a Student Council Representative and the Student Body President. I spent my first year in Denver working towards a Certificate of General Practice Residency from Denver Health Medical Center, where I had prolific experience in trauma and emergency dentistry, oral surgery, pediatric dentistry, endodontics, and prosthodontics.
When not at the office, I will be outside working in my gardens, practicing yoga, hosting barbecues, walking dogs, or reading. I also love to see the world by traveling with my intrepid grandmother! She and my grandfather were small business owners that imparted an obligation to provide those you serve with the highest quality care and respect. I enjoy creating an environment where people feel encouraged to achieve optimal oral health and total body wellness. As your dentist, I am dedicated to providing you with a tailored experience here at Stamm Dental Wellness.
What brings me the most joy as a dentist is creating lasting, trusting relationships with my patients. I care deeply for those around me, and I strive to always treat patients and colleagues like family. You might hear me say I have the best job in the world! because I truly enjoy what I do. It is my privilege to help you achieve your health goals.
I grew up in Seattle, Washington where I received my Bachelors in Science from the University of Washington (Go Dawgs!). I then moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Michigan. After 4 years in the Midwest, I realized how much I missed the mountains. I continued my clinical education with a General Practice Residency, a rigorous post-doctoral program at the University of Colorado Anschutz. Here I received advanced training in complex oral surgery, implant dentistry, endodontics, emergency medicine and trauma. Outside of the hospital, I have enjoyed training in CAD/CAM digital dentistry and smile design.
When I am not smiling around the office, I am smiling outdoors! My favorite activities are hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, and playing volleyball. I also love to cook for friends and (not) clean. My husband and I have a sweet & hilarious dog named Jimmy who joins us on all of our adventures.

This place is not helpful. Don't fall for their fake charming introduction staff. See the reviews about their 'kind mask' by others below. They offer 'back rubs/massages' by the staff? Aside from that, I left multiple messages and talked to a couple staff members to schedule a dental surgery for a crown/cavity filling. After months of repeated calls, they never answered me back if they accept in-network insurance for military disabled veterans. They don't give back to the community at all and play favorites, despite me putting over $400 down for a $2000 filling last year. My gums are now infected and my tooth is falling out. I would not recommend this place to anyone wanting decent dental care. Just read their most recent reviews

I had been with Stamm for nearly 6 years. They used to be great, but this past year I have had the worst experience. I've had at least 5 different new dentist in my time there. Everything is like a sales pitch, I don't feel like they actually care anymore. I got two veneers and one tech put my temporary on with permanent adhesive, which caused more delays. The temporary veneers kept falling out no matter what I did. They had me go back several times and the shades didn't match. And now my permanent veneer has fallen off. I am very careful not to bite into anything and it has only been 7 months. I'm just so frustrated and wish I would have not let them talk me into veneers vs composite bonding.

Had a wonderful experience with Chitlada and Dr. Miranda Hicks. They kept me smiling the entire time and also accommodated me during my appointment which made my day! Nothing but smiles from these two when I come in for my visit. Thanks Stamm Dental for making the extra effort to put a smile on my face!

UPDATE - DO NOT COME HERE!! The doctors and hygienists are fine, but the support staff has no manners or chill. If you call to reschedule an apt they will either hang up on you or completely barate you. Then you will get spammed with email and snail mail begging you to come back. Avoid! Two visits with Stamm and they've been wonderful every time. They talk with me about my homecare (I hate flossing and brushing) and we figured out something that works! The hygienists are so kind and friendly, and the doctors are wonderful and thorough. Can't wait to come back next time!

We've been with Stamm for decades and have had great experiences from day one. I used to be terrified of going to the dentist, but these people have made that go away. My last cleaning/exam bordered on pleasurable -- I told Ana and Dr. Stamm, I'd actually come back and do it again the next day, it was so anxiety-free! Thanks everyone.

Went to this dentist for quite a while. It's a nice office, it has a lot of great staff, the hygienists and reception were always great. Cleanings and fillings were generally fine. My biggest complaint about the general practice is that after a while I started seeing a new doctor every time I visited. I never had serious problems with them until I did Invisalign. They push it like a lot. I wish I hadn't listened to them. I had Invisalign for years and my largest complaint was that my treatment plan changed quite often with out me being notified. I would arrive at the office expecting one thing to happen but they would change the plan with out warning or explanation. I had to ask people why they were doing different things than I was told to expect. Most of this revolved around Dr. Stamm directly and the relationship there got pretty toxic. I asked why they were changing my treatment plan in the office and later got a pretty passive aggressive voice mail from Dr. Stamm where she complained about the extra expense of having to consult with an Invisalign expert about my case which was apparently "challenging". I wish I had known my case would be challenging before we started because I didn't expect multiple years of aligners. Invisalign It self is painful, inconvenient, and not really worth it at all in my case. I don't feel better off than when I started, and I really disliked my interactions with Dr. Stamm. She treated me like an unpleasant expense not a patient.

I started going to Stamm in March of 2021 along with my husband. Initially I was drawn to the practice based on the recommendation of a family member and a previous co-worker. Our first few appointments went well and we ended up moving forward with Invisalign, which came with chiropractic care. At this point in time, my husband was recommended an unnecessary surgery generally only recommended to young children who have feeding or speaking issues. As the months went on, I was assigned a new dentist two or three times with no notice that my previous providers had left the practice. There were at least two appointments where I was in the waiting room for 20-30 minutes because of staffing issues. Then, a few months later we got a surprise $2000 bill. When I called I was told to ignore it. I decided to find a new dental provider yesterday after I received a very aggressive email about a "severely past due" balance. When I called the office, I was told I would get a call back and that my future appointments would canceled, per my request. No one returned my call, so I had to call again today where I was told to disregard the email. While there are many members of the staff that I found to be delightful, the constant turnover and changes to the DDS providing me with care were unnerving and did not make me feel valued as a patient. The confusion with billing left me on edge and unclear about whether my account was in good standing. I would not recommend this practice to others.

Stamm Dental is the best. Ana is a newer hygienist that I was scheduled with and she is amazing. She was thorough and gentle at the same time.

Update in June 2022 -- still a great dentist office to go to!! Original review: Been going here for 15+ years and LOVE these guys. I was born with a jaw birth defect and have terrible teeth as a result. I have had A LOT of work done over the past 45 years. Everyone at Stamm has always given me excellent care, and I'm sure I will continue to go to them as long as I live in Colorado (probably forever). Don't recall how I found them but super happy I did!!!!

Ana was absolutely wonderful. She took her time to make me comfortable and was probably the most gentle technician I've ever had clean my teeth. I have a bunch of work to be done and she explained my options before walking me up to the front for billing. Once at billing, I worked with Tori and was so pleased with my experience with her, too. Friendly, patient, and very helpful. Quite different from my last experience and I'm happy to say I'll be staying with Stamm Dental!
