Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants restore missing teeth with titanium posts that integrate into the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for crowns or dentures. This solution preserves jaw health and prevents facial sagging. Custom restorations match natural teeth in appearance and function, lasting decades with proper care. Southwest Family Dentistry offers consultations to determine candidacy and guides patients through the process.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation options like nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation help patients relax during dental procedures. These methods reduce anxiety and discomfort, making complex or lengthy treatments more manageable. The team tailors sedation levels to individual needs, ensuring safety and comfort while maintaining responsiveness during appointments.
Dental Cleanings
Professional cleanings use Cavitron ultrasonic scalers to remove plaque and tartar efficiently. This technology gently cleans below the gumline, reducing sensitivity compared to traditional tools. Regular cleanings prevent gum disease and maintain oral health, with appointments designed to be stress-free and educational for patients.
Dentures and Partials
Custom dentures and partials restore function and aesthetics for missing teeth. Full dentures replace entire arches, while partials fit around existing teeth. High-quality materials mimic natural teeth and gums, offering durability and comfort. The practice supports patients through fittings and adjustments for long-term satisfaction.
Emergency Dental Care
Emergency services address sudden dental trauma, infections, or severe pain. The team prioritizes same-day appointments for acute issues like broken teeth or abscesses. Care focuses on pain relief, infection control, and stabilizing conditions to prevent further complications, ensuring prompt and compassionate care.

I've been going to SW Family Dentistry for many years. Recently, Dr. Pat (Patricia Holmes) took over. She and her crew are friendly, professional and all-around-awesome. While in the chair, as Dr. Pat is working, you can fall asleep while saying "ah". Ken.

I went in for an exam and cleaning. Dr Holmes performed an extensive exam. She told me things no other dentist shared with me. She is very informative and explains in detail the procedures to fix and enhance my teeth. The hygienist was very good. Best cleaning I've had in years. Highly recommend.

Southwest Family Dentistry is a great dental office in southwest Denver. Patricia Holmes is an awesome dentist who cares for her patients, has a great bedside manner, professional and takes time for her patients and also hires great staff who have similar values. Professional and personable. Highly recommended! I moved to north Denver but still make the drive to Littleton for excellent dental care!

I went in to get a filling replaced, they fit me in promptly because I was in pain. When the Novocain wore off, I immediately went back in because the pain was 10 times worse than before. They sent me home, saying the filling was flawless and I must just have sensitive teeth. I was in pain for 2 months before it subsided only for the filling to fall out under a year later. Now I am paying out of pocket for the same filling because my insurance won't cover a filling on the same tooth in that time frame, likely assuming a dentist would stand behind their work, but I will never go back here. Save yourself the trouble.

I can't be more appreciative of this fantastic practice! I needed 2 teeth added to my partial since the anesthesiologist knocked them out during surgery. I am going out of town and they got this done for me in 3 days. The entire staff is awesome. The Dr knew what questions to ask that nobody has asked before and solved a big problem I'd been having. You will not be disappointed if you decide to check them out.
