Meet Dr. Dana Ellis
Welcome. I'm Dr. Dana Ellis, and I believe every truly beautiful smile begins with healthy teeth, healthy gums, and exceptional cosmetic dentistry—not simply making teeth look whiter. My philosophy is to create a Healthy Hollywood Smile that combines natural beauty, facial harmony, and long-term oral health. Every treatment is personalized to complement your unique facial features while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
Whether you're considering porcelain veneers, a complete smile makeover, dental implants, gum contouring, or full-mouth rehabilitation, my goal is to create a smile that is naturally beautiful, healthy, functional, and built to last. By combining advanced cosmetic dentistry, precise treatment planning, and meticulous attention to detail, I help patients achieve confident smiles that look exceptional in every stage of life.
Patients throughout Denver, CO, Cherry Creek, and across the country choose Dana Ellis DDS because exceptional cosmetic dentistry is about more than appearance—it's about confidence, comfort, and lifelong oral health. Using state-of-the-art technology, premium materials, and evidence-based techniques, every smile is crafted with precision, artistry, and lasting function.
If you're searching for the best cosmetic dentist in Denver, CO, a trusted provider of a Healthy Hollywood Smile, or personalized smile aesthetics with uncompromising quality, I look forward to helping you achieve the healthy, naturally beautiful smile you deserve.
"Pretty Teeth Won't Save Your Life.
Healthy Ones Will."
Which Would You Choose? A Healthy Life. Or A Fake Smile.
At Dr. Ellis's office — you don't have to choose. You get both.
Patients come to me from New York. From Hollywood. From across the world.
And the first thing I always say is the same thing:
Before we talk about beautiful — let's talk about healthy.
Every saved tooth represents more than function. It’s a patient who keeps their own smile, their own bite, their confidence. It’s a mouth that stays stable for decades instead of entering the cycle of extractions and implants. LANAP has made that outcome achievable for people who once thought it was too late.
She Came to Me Dying. She Left Living.
A woman came to my office years ago. Athletic her whole life. Strong. Driven. The kind of person who pushes through pain because that's just what she does.
But something was wrong. Every month — like clockwork — just before a full moon, her upper gums became unbearably sensitive. Swelling. Pain. Over and over again.
She had already seen dentists. In New York, one told her the quick path to a beautiful smile was simple — pull the root canals. Get crowns. Done.
She did it. And her body never recovered.
What nobody told her was that her root canals were failing. Infected. Quietly destroying her from the inside. She had three root canals retreated — by dentists who left the work unfinished. Each failed attempt compounded the last. The infection kept returning. Every single month.
She was taking painkillers just to get through her days.
When she finally came to me I ran a CT scan. What I found stopped me cold. Nearly ten teeth were on the verge of being lost. The infection wasn't just in her mouth anymore — it was affecting her sinuses. She had been referred to an ENT for surgery.
She may not have needed that surgery at all.
The sinus infection and the failing root canals were connected. Her mouth was telling her body a story nobody had bothered to read.
I read it.
One by one, I retreated every failing root canal. Cleaned out twenty years of damage. Saved every tooth. Stopped the infection that had been poisoning her health — and her life — for years.
That was three years ago.
Today? No infection. No pain. No painkillers. Ten teeth standing strong. A new smile she's proud of.
She came to me barely living. She left thriving.

Why Dr. Ellis?
This Is Why I Do What I Do. A beautiful smile means nothing if your body is suffering underneath it.
I see this especially in female athletes. Women with strong bodies but compromised bone density. Women who were handed a quick cosmetic fix — and paid for it with their health.
I don't offer quick fixes.
I offer the real fix. The whole picture. Root cause. Whole mouth. Whole body.
Are you living with unexplained pain? Recurring infections? A smile that was "fixed" — but never felt right?
Come see me.
Your mouth is trying to tell you something. Let's listen to it together.
"Think Before You Cosmetic."
- Dr.Ellis
Cosmetic dentistry is easy. Your body is not replaceable.
Cosmetic dentistry is easy. Your body is not replaceable.
In nearly four decades, I have seen thousands of patients walk through my door after someone else made it easy for them.
Easy veneers. Easy crowns. Easy smiles — built on infected roots, failing bone, and dentists who saw a wallet before they saw a person.
And every single time, the story is the same. The pain comes back. The infection spreads. The "fixed" tooth fails. And now what was once a simple problem has become a crisis — inside your mouth, inside your body, inside your life.
Here is what nobody tells you in that consultation chair:
Your teeth are not accessories. They are part of you. Connected to your sinuses, your jawbone, your immune system, your heart. There is no cosmetic procedure on earth worth what your body pays when it goes wrong.
I have retreated root canals abandoned by three different dentists. I have saved teeth that were days away from taking the patient's health down with them. I have watched strong, beautiful, accomplished people suffer for years — because someone chose their commission over their patient's future.
You can still have the smile. You can still be stunning.
But let's make sure your body agrees first.
Because beauty built on a healthy foundation? That lasts a lifetime.
Beauty built on shortcuts? That costs you one.
The entire process takes about two hours per side. No cutting. No sutures. Most patients return to work the same day, often surprised by how effortless recovery feels. What once required invasive surgery and weeks of healing now happens in silence and light — a gentle recalibration of the body’s own repair system.
