Services
Bioclear Treatment
Bioclear treatment addresses black triangles and minor dental imperfections using a minimally invasive, wrap-around composite technique. This method preserves natural tooth structure while enhancing aesthetics and function. Ideal for gaps, chipped teeth, or uneven surfaces, Bioclear offers durable, stain-resistant results in a single visit. South Lakewood Dental utilizes specialized matrices and composite materials to reshape teeth, ensuring a seamless, natural appearance without the need for veneers or crowns.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, combining titanium or zirconium posts with custom crowns for natural function and appearance. South Lakewood Dental offers traditional and metal-free implant options, ensuring biocompatibility for patients with sensitivities. Implants prevent adjacent teeth from shifting and restore chewing efficiency, promoting long-term oral and systemic health through stable, durable replacements.
Holistic Dentistry
Holistic dentistry at South Lakewood Dental integrates whole-body wellness with oral health, avoiding mercury-based materials and emphasizing non-toxic, biocompatible treatments. Services include mercury-safe amalgam removal, ozone therapy, and laser dentistry to address gum disease and infections. This approach aligns with systemic health goals, focusing on preventive care and minimizing environmental impact through safe material disposal and patient education.
Dentures
Custom dentures restore function and aesthetics for patients with missing teeth, including advanced options like implant-supported and Fountain of Youth dentures. South Lakewood Dental crafts dentures to fit securely, preventing discomfort and enhancing facial structure. Techniques like Geneva AutoCentric technology ensure natural-looking results, while implant retention improves stability and chewing efficiency for long-term satisfaction.
Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry offers precise, minimally invasive treatment for gum disease, cavity detection, and soft-tissue procedures. South Lakewood Dental uses laser technology to remove diseased tissue, reshape gums, and disinfect areas affected by infection. This method reduces bleeding, accelerates healing, and preserves healthy tissue, enhancing outcomes for periodontal therapy and restorative procedures while improving patient comfort.

Holistic dentistry - everyone needs to try this! Dr. Stewart gave me the most thorough and unique intake appointment. He takes a scrape of your plaque and you look at it under the microscope on a monitor. You can see the complete health and condition of the micro-biome in your mouth. From beneficial organisms to pathogenic invaders, this helps the Doc to determine how you can take care of your mouth to create HEALTH and BALANCE instead of just trying to kill everything with mouthwash and fluoride which is also very acidic. and we all know that disease thrives in acidity - that's not balance.
He also did the most complete exam with pictures that he also shows you and reviews so you can see everything that he is talking about and really understand what needs to be fixed. Amazing approach to dentistry. Don't stay in the stone age with a dentist who doesn't understand the holistic approach to your body, this is the future of medicine and dentistry.

Everyone was wonderful and caring. Their office was very cozy and I appreciated that they weren't all flashy like so many offices these days. I felt like a real patient and not just a $. I went in for an exam and Dr. Stewart was extremely through and checked everything. He have me hope that we could heal my gums/bone loss on our own naturally and not do the surgery prior two dentists said was my only option. Truly a great dentist and actually looking forward to going back!

Great Dentist visit, probably the only time I have had a great experience with the Dentist. Everyone in the office is very nice and very informative. Scott Stewart is very thorough and knowledgeable in his craft. I wont go into details about why I decided to try this Dentist office, but I would like to say if your looking for an honest opinion on Dental Care, this is the place to go. I have finally found a dentist office that cares more about the well being of the patient, than the money. I was amazed at the time spent explaining the good and bad practices.

I really appreciate how thoughtful they are regarding my autoimmune sensitivities and have an unique awareness that fluoride is not a good thing for me with my condition. I don't know how many dentists have forced me to suffer through fluoride treatments with really bad reactions... Dr. Stewart is also the nicest man alive who did the most amazing work on my bridge reconstruction using porcelain instead of metal (again, autoimmune sensitivities).
He even came in on a Saturday for an emergency repair for which he charged nothing. They are also really considerate and will try to work with insurance companies as best they can. Always a pleasure to go to this dentist -- when there is still a bad reputation around going to any dentist!

Have been going here for a few years now and Dr. Stewart is great, sees the big picture of health. He is very friendly, professional, and allows plenty of time for questions. His dental hygienist Missy is very knowledgeable, professional, and skilled. She performs her work gently and effectively. I so appreciate having a holistic dentist in the Denver area.

I love south Lakewood dental!! I searched and searched for a good dentist that didnt leave me with pain. The staff is very thorough, very good customer service and did an excellent job taking my silver fillings out. The precautions that they take to keep their customers safe is amazing! I will keep coming back to this dentist for sure.

Staff is friendly and very helpful. Dr Stewart was knowledgeable and explained all procedures or other options thoroughly. I particularly appreciated getting bio-mimetic crowns that saved several teeth. The work done is high quality and I've had no problems at all-a long term fix.

I have been to many dentists and receive great care from Dr. Stewart and staff. I had half my amalgam fillings removed and replaced with less toxic fillings. I had the other half done one year before at a different office and that office was expensive and took a long time. Dr. Stewart did a better job in 1/3 of the time and for much less money. Dr. Stewart also created my crown for my implant and I am very happy with that too.

I've been very happy with the treatment I've received here. I chose this practice for their holistic approach to dentistry. I switched practices after my previous dentist wanted to do a bunch of fillings and wanted a second opinion. There were teeth he wanted to watch but several years on no fillings have been required. I also love the emphasis on proactive dental health.

Dr. Stewart and his staff are amazing. When I was searching for a wholistic dentist 10 years ago. I so lucked out in finding Dr. Stewart. He removed all removed my amalgam fillings, took all precautions, repaired some other teeth that were worn, and has kept my mouth in great shape for years. I moved from the area for two years and traveled back for all my dental care. My only hesitation in recommending is the fear they will get too busy.

I think this dental office is great. They have done a great and professional job on both of the visits I've had so far. I really like the fact that they take samples of your plaque and look at it under a microscope which you can see on an overhead tv monitor. They note and explain everything you see. They give helpful advice on how to improve the microbiome in your mouth and you can measure the improvements from one visit to the next.
They explain what needs to be done in your mouth but don't pressure you like some doctors do. I will definitely be going back. Also, I used Delta Dental and didn't experience any issues with billing or pricing. Everything was straightforward and what you would expect at any dental office.
