Cosmetic Dentistry

Denver and Lakewood, Colorado

We have a trained, experienced staff who are eager to care for you.

MOMI – Office Manager

"I have been with Dr. Greenhalgh for eight years and this office is different because it has a soul. There is an energy here that is so caring you can feel the connection right away. There are bonds with other team members that make me feel grounded and comfortable, like you do in your home.

Patients comment that they have never experienced a dental office that genuinely takes care of the patients and gives the level of service we do. They are amazed that we remember personal things about them, call them by name, smile, and truly have a desire to do the best we can for them.

I like my job because Dr. Greenhalgh allows me to do the things I am strong at and he empowers me to make decisions on my own. He is fair, honest and a good person to be around. I am proud of his dentistry and the way he treats his staff and his patients. The gals on my team are like my sisters and we are a close family who look out for one another. I have never worked in a place where everyone had so much respect for each other. This makes the stress level low and we all leave at the end of day without having to think about problems at work.

I have been in management since I was 18 years old and that gives me the confidence to lead people and handle situations with staff or patients that may be difficult or uncomfortable. I am detail oriented and have the ability to see the whole picture, noticing what needs to be attended to. I can talk with patients easily and I feel I act in Dr. Greenhalgh's best behalf, knowing he will back me up on decisions I make. I am a good problem solver and love challenges, so even when things seem all shaken up... I function well."

RANA – Treatment Coordinator

"We set the bar for how to treat patients. When I go to stores or receive services at other locations, even doctor’s offices, I always compare that to what we offer and it rarely measures up!

We strive to make sure that patients feel important and have a great visit. We really care about them! I think it’s important that they have their questions answered (as far as cosmetic dentistry treatment or insurance). I always tell patients that they can call me about any question that pops up after they leave and I’ll help clarify it for them.

Patients notice all this – how we care about them and treat them like family. One patient told us she just passed her bar exam – at her next visit we congratulated her with champagne and a card. She was happy and shocked that we remembered! We just think it’s important to acknowledge the big events in our patient’s lives.

I love that everyone on our team recognizes my efforts. That appreciation is huge. Dr. Greenhalgh always expects my best, wants me to be happy in my job, and always gives me challenging projects – I love that. And everyone always asks me what I’m smiling about!"

Rana appreciates the family feel of Dr. Greenhalgh’s dental team and is proud of the level of patient service we offer. Her upbeat attitude and sunny personality give energy to everyone in the office. Her other interests include Kempo, a martial art form, and going to the gym. Her college degree is in Communication Design and she loves to sculpt, draw and do anything involved with art.

Rana was raised in Colorado and lives in downtown Denver, not minding her commute one bit.

MARY ANN – Dental Assistant/EFDA (Expanded Function Dental Assistant)

"What we do best is provide constant empathy, support and communication to our patients and team members. The sense of belonging in our team is amazing. Our patients notice this. Many were never aware of what was going on their mouths. We always explain things to them; let them know why a treatment is necessary, and how to prevent dental problems. They tell us "I’ve never had anyone explain that to me before!"

We develop trust with our patients because we are honest and straightforward with them. The level and quality of dental care we provide and the communication we offer is outstanding. If we didn’t provide these things, I wouldn’t be here! The best thing I bring to our patients is listening to them.

Our team is like a family. I come from a great family with very strong values. My core values can be lived out when I’m at work and that’s vital for me."

Mary Ann’s dad was a high-end dental lab technician and she grew up always interested in dentistry and informed about it, which shows in her work. She grew up in the mountain town of Glenwood Springs, CO and has lived in Denver for the past 10 years.

Mary Ann has two grown daughters and will become a first-time grandmother in the summer of 2009. Her interests include spending time with family and friends, maintaining overall health through yoga and meditation and spending time outdoors – hiking, skiing, cycling. She’s also an avid artist, specializing in stained glass.

Her calm and caring demeanor makes a big difference to everyone here.

ALAINA – Dental Hygienist

"We go out of our way to anticipate our patients’ needs even before they realize them. It’s the little things that make a great visit and we want them to have a perfect one. I also love that Dr. Greenhalgh is meticulous and thorough.

I have a gift for being entertaining and funny and I love to offer that to our patients, especially when I can see that they’re nervous. I just want to make them comfortable. What I love about our practice is that everyone goes above and beyond to treat our patients well. This makes our work more fun."

Alaina grew up in the Poconos in Pennsylvania and loves sport biking, snowboarding, motorcycle riding, and most recently Yoga and Pilates, with which one of her patients got her involved.

The personal patient/team relationship is what Alaina deems the best part about Dr. Greenhalgh’s practice. She wants to make patients comfortable and according to what they say, she always hits the mark.

KIMBERLY – Dental Hygienist

"This is a great team and Dr. Greenhalgh is a great leader. Everyone has a great sense of humor and they care about each other and for the patients. Our patients love that things are personalized for them, they love our paraffin wax and the pampering, and they appreciate our follow-through. Dr. Greenhalgh has many long-standing patients and that says a lot about him.

I appreciate that Dr. Greenhalgh trusts us as his staff to do our job well. I love what I do and I love people. I think I add a really positive attitude to our team and to our patients."

In college, Kimberly got her B.A. in social work and worked with seniors and patients with Alzheimer’s for many years. When she made the leap into dentistry, she took the lead from her mother, who was a dental assistant. Kimberly has brought her compassion and understanding of people with her into her Dental Hygiene position.

Kimberly’s interests include the outdoors and she’s an avid walker and skier. As someone who loves being around people, she also enjoys participating in Supper Clubs and spending time with her husband and friends.

BERNADETTE - Dental Assistant/EFDA (Expanded Function Dental Assistant)

Bernadette has a natural way with people. She emphasizes that "I can really help make our patients feel comfortable and confident about their treatment. I can relate to the procedures they're having done, because I've been there myself." When she was in college, Bernadette's family dentist realized that she had an eating disorder because of serious damage on her tooth enamel. Her beautiful smile was restored after many hours of extensive dental treatment. Her dentist also offered her a job filing and assisting while she was finishing school. Her interest in dentistry led her to obtain an EDDA, expanded duty dental assisting certification.

"I love getting to know and helping our patients. A smile is part of a person's outlook on life. If your smile isn't great, it's really hard to have self-confidence. It really warms my heart to see our patients' happy smiles." Because she knows what it's like to sit where our patients sit, she wants to offer them everything they need for a great visit.

"We do a lot to make our patients feel comfortable and at home. I love that we provide a coffee bar and paraffin hand waxes - our patients really appreciate these services. I like to offer our patients amenities like heated hand towels when they're experiencing sore, painful jaw muscles - it's really soothing." "I've definitely gotten to another level in dentistry since working with Dr. Greenhalgh. He's very particular in his work and he's been a wonderful teacher, showing me how to do every procedure perfectly."

"Our patients tell me they really enjoy the comfort and care we provide. The treatment they receive here is over-and-above what they've experienced at other dental offices. We also like to let our patients be in control of their care and dental experience - we work for them."

Outside the dental office, Bernadette leads a busy life as the mom of four kids aged seven and under. A cheerleader herself in high school, she coaches competitive cheerleading. She's also a baseball team mom and PTO member. She's even competing for the title of Mrs. Colorado in the spring of 2011. "I was shoe shopping one day and a woman approached me about participating in the Mrs. Colorado program!" Part of Bernadette's preparation for the competition is community service involvement, so she spends time helping families each week in downtown Denver at Sacred Heart Women's Shelter.

"I want to be a positive influence in children’s lives. Giving myself away to my community is a wonderful way to do that."

We'll keep you posted on Bernadette's success!
