I'm an interior designer. My entire career is built on aesthetics — proportion, detail, the way things look and feel. So when my front teeth started shifting and my smile began to change, it wasn't just a cosmetic concern. It quietly affected my confidence in client meetings, in presentations, and honestly, just in how I carried myself every day.

​

The misalignment had been building for years. I'd had prior dental work — a root canal, a crown — and over time I could see and feel that something wasn't right with my front teeth. I visited several dentists who each told me the same thing: full-mouth implants. Start over. It felt extreme, and honestly, it felt wrong.

I also have significant chemical sensitivities, which makes any dental procedure more complicated. Most offices weren't prepared to work around that — or willing to try.

​

Then I found Dr. Ellis.

​

From the first consultation, he was different. He actually looked at my teeth — my specific teeth, my history, my concerns. He didn't dismiss the chemical sensitivity issue; he oversaw every aspect of my care with that in mind. His level of attentiveness was something I hadn't experienced before in a dental office.

What he did to correct my front teeth was precise and conservative. No unnecessary extractions. No starting over. He worked with what I had and made it right. The result was better than I imagined.

​

Last month, I took a family trip to Paris. We were there for two weeks — the Marais, Montmartre, long dinners, museum after museum. And in every single photo, I am genuinely smiling. Not posing. Actually smiling. My daughter even commented on it.

Dr. Ellis's skill is what saved my teeth. I'm so glad I didn't listen to the dentists who told me to tear everything out and start from scratch. I'm so glad I found someone who knew how to look deeper, think differently, and treat the actual problem.

I feel like myself again. And in Paris, that meant everything.

​"I flew from New York City to Denver for over three months to be treated by Dr. Dana Ellis. Every flight, every visit, and every moment was more than worth it. I finally have the smile I've always dreamed of."
