Dr. Laura Brown, DDS

Dr. Saiz was first drawn to the field of dentistry in high school. His mother was working as an office manager for a local dentistry at the time and shared how every day she saw this dentist make a difference in their patient’s lives. 

‍

From then on, Dr. Saiz knew he wanted to do the same thing. He received his undergraduate in Biology at University of Nevada Las Vegas and then completed dental school in Las Vegas. 

‍

His original plan was to go into general dentistry but he soon found that with oral & maxillofacial surgery, he would have a wide scope of different treatment to help patients and decided to pursue that route.

‍

Following his schooling, he completed a surgical internship in Chicago County and his formal Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Residency in Detroit. 

‍

Why Nuvia

Dr. Saiz first discovered Nuvia through colleagues of his that had joined Nuvia in order to give patients an elevated experience. After hearing how patients were getting their permanent teeth in 24 hours, he knew he had to be part of the Nuvia team in Denver.

‍

At Nuvia Dr. Saiz is able to provide a completely different patient experience with permanent teeth in 24 hours. The traditional way of doing dental implants typically involves patients wearing a temporary acrylic denture for what could be months before getting their final teeth.

‍

Now, Dr. Saiz’ patients don’t have to wait for months to get their smiles. They can get them 24 hours after the dental implant procedure.

‍

Outside of the Clinic

When he isn’t working as an oral & maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Saiz enjoys spending time with his wife traveling, hiking, and riding bikes. They are also both training to be wine sommeliers. 

‍

When she was younger, Dr. Brown had a lot of dental work done. This early experience with dentists in addition to her interest in helping others is what initially led her to pursue a career as a restorative dentist in Denver. As an undergraduate in Psychology, she joined a pre-dental club and had her interest in dentistry reaffirmed.

‍

During her career as a restorative dentist, she encountered many patients who struggled with their dentures. She quickly saw the benefits of dental implants over dentures and began working with patients to restore their smiles. 

‍

She is excited to be part of the Nuvia team in Denver where she can now provide patients with permanent teeth in 24 hours rather than having patients struggle with temporary temporary teeth for what could be 10+ months. 

Outside of the Office

When she isn’t working as a restorative dentist, Dr. Brown is spending time with her husband and two children. Together, they love to ski, camp and hike. She also loves to swim, road trip, and visit the ocean. Her favorite place she’s vacationed is Mexico.

‍

Before becoming a restorative dentist, Dr. Ford worked as an engineer. However, his passion for dentistry finally took over as he pursued his dental education at University of California in San Francisco.

‍

After completing dental school, he did his residency at the Veterans Hospital in San Francisco and started a private practice shortly after. Now, with his 19 years of experience, Dr. Ford is one of the highly skilled restorative dentists at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Denver, CO.

‍

Why Nuvia?

Before coming to Nuvia, when Dr. Ford did full mouth dental implants, it would take months to deliver a new smile to patients. Not only did patients have to wear temporary teeth for what could be up to 10+ months, they had to return for frequent visits. At Nuvia, the experience is completely different.

‍

Dr. Ford loves that working at Nuvia, he can get patients their permanent teeth in 24 hours. 

‍

Patients of Dr. Ford’s can expect to get his full and complete attention while he is working with them. He is committed to helping his patients to feel comfortable and taken care of. 

‍

Outside of Dentistry

When he isn’t working as a restorative dentist, Dr. Ford loves to be on his bike. As a bicyclist, he participated in bike races for 20 years. Now, he loves to ride for enjoyment and see the sights of beautiful Colorado. 

‍

He also loves to garden, enjoy the fruits of his gardening, work on his car, and build things at his home.
