Meet Our Team

Aspen

Dental Assistant

I'm Aspen, a dedicated dental assistant with nearly 5 years of experience, specializing in pediatric dentistry, care for special needs patients, and oral surgery. My journey into dentistry began with a personal experience watching how compassionate dental assistants were with my mother, who needed full dentures at a young age. Witnessing the positive impact on her life inspired me to join the field.

Originally from Denver, just a stone's throw from the Broncos stadium, I started my career at Denver Health, it was there that I discovered my passion for serving the community I grew up in and I find that incredibly rewarding.

Outside of work, I cherish spending time with my family and our dogs. My husband and I are also enthusiastic foodies always on the lookout for new culinary adventures whether it be in our own kitchen or out in the community!

Outside of work, I am a proud parent to three wonderful children and a doting grandparent to three delightful grandchildren. My husband and I cherish our family time, including our beloved dog who brings you and companionship to our home. In our leisure time, we enjoy traveling and exploring new destinations, always eager to experience different cultures and cuisines.

Hear What Our Patients Are Saying

Micah Boriack

“We are so grateful we found Colorado Tongue Tie. They explained their exam findings so clearly, explained how the findings were related to my sons symptoms, and performed the exam and procedure on our 12 day old baby with skill and compassion that made us all feel so much more comfortable. Our little baby barely even cried. I cannot recommend them enough or fully express the complete value of their services.”

Elizabeth S

“Everything and everyone was so welcoming and caring from the minute I stepped into the office. I was nervous about the procedure, but I felt at ease once I started my exam with Dr Chad. The actual procedure was fairly quick and painless as Dr Chad took extra care to make sure I couldn’t feel anything. He also followed up with me later that afternoon to make sure I was doing well. The facility was clean and they are super organized.”

Danielle E

“I could not be more impressed with this office! Both doctors are incredibly knowledgeable and take the time to explain not only WHAT they are doing, but WHY. Every single person I came in contact with made me feel welcomed and cared for. I could not be more happy or impressed by the office, the entire process and most importantly- the outcome. 100% recommend this office and everyone that works there! 🥳”

Lois Kaiser

“Fantastic experience today for my adult frenectomy. Dr. Chad was super cool, explained everything with enthusiasm and made me feel really good about the choice to get my tongue tie taken care of. Everyone working in the office was friendly, loved the dental assistant as well - lots of laughs today. I’m really looking forward to how this affects chronic Lyme disease for me. Thanks to everyone!”

Jodie R.

"Brought my 11 week old son in for a tongue and lip tie release we thought had been corrected by an ENT when he was just five days old, turns out it wasn’t! This place is amazing. I would recommend it to anyone. Kind and caring staff. Clean office. Amazing follow up and they were even able to get us in quickly since we are heading to day care in a couple weeks. The doctor even provided his cell phone number in case we need him over the Christmas holiday. Incredible! This place was wonderful!"

Andrew L.

"This place is outstanding for all the important reasons. The entire staff is 100% focused on you during your time in the office. All of them!! I’ve never experience that level of service. They really listen to where you are at, have amazing fancy equipment to check your kid out, and make sure parents and children are comfortable. And most importantly, they do a great job. I was in the room for my sons tongue/lip laser procedure and they were done in 2-3 minutes tops. He recovered without much pain at all and we’ve been sleeping well ever since. Can’t recommend them enough."
