- Dental ExaminationYour initial dental exam will take about an hour. The expert team at Twiss Dental will ask you questions, get to know your oral hygiene routine, and listen to your health concerns. We believe in educating patients and empowering them to make good choices to improve their oral health. We will demonstrate how to properly care for your teeth, making additional suggestions as needed. One of our dental hygienists will clean your teeth, then the doctor will examine your teeth and, if needed, make recommendations for further dental treatment.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningTwiss Dental can care for your unique smile, from root canals to mouthguards to oral cancer screenings and tooth extraction. If your smile needs a rebuild, we can engineer full mouth reconstruction; if old metal fillings need to go, we can help. We get your gums healthy and balanced with LANAP® lasers and gum contouring. Get ready to shine!
- Teeth CleaningRather than sharp tools that remove plaque and tartar by scraping it from teeth, lasers can locate and disintegrate that buildup from your teeth and around the gum line. Traditional dental cleaning tools can irritate gum tissue—causing swelling, bleeding, and discomfort—but laser cleanings have the capability to bypass healthy tissue altogether for precise, no-fuss cleaning.
- Dental Sealants
- FillingsThe biggest advantages of composite vs. amalgam fillings is composite tooth-colored fillings do not stand out. If you have a cavity and need a filling, you can have a filling made to match the natural shade of your tooth. Tooth-colored fillings are comparably durable to amalgam. However, it depends on how well you care for your teeth. It’s important to stick to a regular home hygiene routine and be careful not to chew excessively hard or sticky foods or use your teeth as tools. You can care for your composite filling just like the rest of your teeth. Fillings are meant to restore your tooth structure both in appearance and in functionality, they are long-lasting, and you should be back to living your normal life the same day you have a filling placed! If you have questions about tooth-colored fillings, please give us a call at (720) 710-0629 to schedule an appointment.
- VeneersYou are the heart of our practice. We believe in collaborative treatment and always prioritize your goals and comfort above all else. With a comprehensive array of general, cosmetic, orthodontic, and preventive dental treatments available we strive to be the only dental office you need for all your oral health needs. Dr. Twiss and the rest of our team are dedicated to improving the lives of their patients, one smile at a time. We treat patients of all ages with all kinds of dental needs. Whether you have a chipped tooth, are curious about dental veneers, or are looking for a Highlands Ranch dentist for your kids, we’ve got you covered.
- CrownsLaser gum contouring, also called laser gum resurfacing, is a method of reshaping the teeth. Very similar to crown lengthening, gum contouring is performed to make teeth appear more even or to repair tooth chips and worn biting surfaces. Twiss Dental uses a laser to “polish” the tooth enamel, which is the only part of the tooth that is touched. Any cuts in the tissue made by a laser are cauterized immediately and there is usually no need for pain medication during the procedure.
- BridgesAt Twiss Dental, we provide dental crowns and bridges for patients throughout the Highlands Ranch area. These procedures are effective for restoring a tooth that has become infected, damaged, or has fallen out. We can complete these procedures in a way that looks natural while resolving oral health issues. Crowns and bridges help you regain the functionality of your tooth without giving away the secret that you’ve had dental work.
- Dental BondingIf you damage your tooth and are searching for a natural-looking restoration, consider restorative bonding. For this procedure, your Highlands Ranch dentists will apply tooth-colored resin material, shaping the resin until it looks exactly like your natural tooth or teeth did. The resin is then set with a special dental light that bonds it to the tooth. If you have chipped teeth, gaps between teeth, cracked teeth, or misshapen teeth, dental bonding is a simple and affordable cosmetic procedure with enormous positive cosmetic impact.
- Restorative DentistryTwiss Dental offers same-day crowns thanks to CEREC® technology, a revolutionary advancement in the field of restorative dentistry. We are excited to bring our patients same-day restorations right here in Highlands Ranch.
- Root Canal TreatmentA root canal removes an infection from an adult tooth, while a frenectomy is the dental terminology for a pediatric root canal. Lasers can be used for conservative, careful removal of infection from damaged teeth in need of these treatments, allowing Twiss Dental to save the tooth with less downtime and discomfort than root canal and frenectomy procedures performed with the more traditional tools and methods of the past.
- DenturesPatients who have lost all their teeth from one or both arches are often worried they will need to replace each individual tooth with an implant, but this is not the case! Even if you are edentulous (without teeth), Twiss Dental can strategically place a few dental implants that secure a permanent or semi-permanent denture. This means you can get a durable implant-supported smile supported by 4 to 6 implant posts per arch.
- Dental ImplantsHighland Ranch patients trust us to replace missing teeth in a way that looks and feels natural. The #1 choice of dentists and patients alike for tooth replacement, implants are loved for their strength and security. Ask the Twiss Dental team about implants today!

- OrthodonticsThe Invisalign system is one of the most popular teeth straightening procedures, and with good reason! 7.5 million smiles are straighter thanks to the revolutionary orthodontics of the Invisalign system, which works by using a series of clear aligners that slowly shift and straighten the teeth. Aligners are removed to eat, drink, brush, and floss. If you are interested in Invisalign, give us a call and schedule a complimentary consultation with Twiss Dental today! Schedule Now
- Invisalign OrthodonticsThe Invisalign process begins with impressions of your teeth being made so your aligners can be created in a dental lab. The aligners are made of a thermoplastic material that is virtually invisible as well as being strong and flexible to maximize comfort and durability. Aligners need to be worn for 22 hours each day–and every few weeks, wearers will transition to the next set of aligners in the series. Over a period of months, the aligners gradually shift specific teeth. We recommend patients remove their aligners and rinse them with warm water daily. They can also be carefully brushed with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
- BracesTraditional braces are a tried-and-true method to correct and resolve for the most challenging orthodontic issues. Traditional braces are composed of square metal brackets adhered to the smiling surfaces of the teeth and wires that are attached to metal bands around the molars. Over time, Twiss Dental will adjust the wires to slowly shift teeth into their correct position, for a healthy bite position and a strong, straight smile.
- Teeth WhiteningLasers create energy in the form of light, but their specific purpose varies with each dental procedure that uses them. They function as a surgical tool, enhance the effects of the bleaching agents, vaporize diseased or decayed tissue, remove infection, assist with diagnostics, and much more. Their quiet operation alleviates patient anxiety, and without traditional incisions, healing times are usually much faster, often with longer-lasting effects and increased patient comfort.
- Cosmetic DentistryCosmetic dentistry includes a wide array of services. At Twiss Dental in Highlands Ranch, we want all our patients to smile with confidence, and we believe we have the tools to make it happen. No matter if you have slight staining you’d like to take care of, or a more extensive case of missing or misshapen teeth—there are many options available to handle any imperfection, within any budget. If you have something you’d like to change about your smile, we’re glad you’re here. We take smiles seriously and can’t wait to make yours shine.
