Meet Our Team
Dr. Elizabeth Turner,
Lakewood, CO Dentist
Balanced Dental Studio
Dentistry has been my passion from a young age after an early childhood fall contributed to countless hours spent in the dentist’s office. I understand what it is like to be both in the treatment chair and on the side of it.
Now more than ever, we are appreciating how connected the mouth is to the rest of the body, and my goal is to help you live your best life. I strive to be gentle, kind, and caring, all while diligently providing you with the highest quality dental care possible. I will take the time to listen to your unique concerns and expectations and will help you in all possible ways to maintain your health and your smile.
New England was my home
For many years
I grew up in a small town on the coast of Maine and I completed my dental education in Boston at Tufts University. My love for the mountains and the big Western skies grew after completing post-graduate studies at the University of New Mexico. Since then, I’ve completed hundreds of hours of continuing education connecting the mouth to the whole body. This includes everything from nutrition to sleep and breathing! I strive to be on the cutting edge with techniques, technology, and the latest evidence-based research.
My dedication to airway development and infant lip and tongue ties began with my own son when I was able to watch him blossom and thrive immediately following his own simple tongue tie procedure. I run our sister practice, Untethered Airway Health Centers (formerly Bloom Center for Sleep and Airway Health), where I help infants thrive, children grow, and adults manage symptoms that have plagued them their whole lives.

I love to do podcasts and routinely teach courses that educate both families and other dentists on tongue and lip ties. I am a certified Invisalign provider and hold a certificate from the American Board of Laser Surgery for Laser Dentistry and am a visiting faculty for Spear Education in Phoenix, AZ. I have additional training in cosmetic dentistry, biomimetic/minimally invasive dentistry, dental implants, family dentistry, Invisalign, occlusion and TMD, root canals, soft tissue grafting, oral surgery, and dental sleep medicine.
In my free time, I spend time with my two kiddos, my hubby, and our pug Bucky. I love to run, drink coffee, and travel with friends and family!
