OUR TEAM
Carmen Burke DDS
Dr. Carmen Burke is the owner and founder of Family Holistic Dentistry. Her journey in dentistry began in her home country, Colombia, where she earned her dental degree and practiced for a decade.
In 2008, she embarked on a new chapter, moving to the United States after marrying her husband, Sean. Carmen took a four-year hiatus from her career to start a family and raise her two children, Kevin and Alicia. Her passion for dentistry never waned, and she returned to school, earning her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Loma Linda University in California. During this time, a conversation about biological dentistry piqued her interest. She furthered her knowledge by taking integrative biological dentistry classes from Dr. Phil Mollica and Dr. Judson Wall and attending an IAOMT seminar in Las Vegas. This experience solidified her decision to pursue a holistic approach to dentistry. The family relocated to Colorado in 2016, and in 2017, she founded what is now Family Holistic Dentistry.
Dr. Burke handles all of the practice's surgeries. Many people come to see her for a nonmetal solution for missing teeth. In our practice, she places CeraRoot ceramic implants at the time of extraction if the conditions are adequate. She is committed to thoroughly cleaning out any infection and removing the periodontal ligament, regardless of how long the process may take. She uses a holistic approach to achieve optimal results, including piezosurgery, ozone, laser, and PRF. If a bone graft is necessary, she chooses between beta-tricalcium phosphate and autogenous grafts from the same patient's donor site. Our practice does not use cadaver bone grafts from human or animal sources. Carmen is a certified CeraRoot instructor. She teaches one-piece implant placement and her holistic protocol with Dr. Xavi Olivia, the CEO of CeraRoot, to other dentists four times a year in our Boulder office.
Dr. Burke is a dentist deeply committed to her patients' oral health. She provides excellent care in the clinic and enjoys educating her patients about the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene. Dr. Burke is dedicated to staying up-to-date with traditional and holistic dentistry's latest techniques and materials so that her patients receive the best and safest treatments. Her commitment to continuing education is a testament to her dedication to providing her patients with the most advanced and effective dental care possible. Dr. Burke is an accredited member of the IAOMT, where she is currently on the perio committee. She is also a member of IABDM. She lives in Boulder with her husband, their two children, and two dogs.
Alexis Brown DDS
Dr. Alexis Brown was born and raised in Centennial, Colorado, but moved to Mansfield, Texas, as a teenager.
She attended Texas A&M University and completed her Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2008. She then studied at Baylor College of Dentistry and received her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2013. Dr Brown then married her high school sweetheart, Michael. After many summer trips to Colorado together, they finally moved their growing family back to her native state in 2014. Together, they live in Arvada with their three children and enjoy hiking, cooking, and many other sports.
"I love dentistry because of the tangible personal and authentic connections I make daily with people and their families. Developing this strong relationship with patients is the foundation I strive for and what makes my job unique. Not only do I help people transform their smiles and confidence, but I also help them improve their general health by having healthy mouths. What has drawn me to holistic and biological dentistry is my conservative and minimally invasive treatment philosophies, a continual quest for learning, and understanding the root cause of symptoms and diseases. All this and a great team brought me to Family Holistic Dentistry, where everyone dedicates themselves to delivering the best care and the highest standards."
Dr. Brown joined our practice in 2021 as a restorative dentist (bridges, same-day Cerec crowns, composite restorations, safe amalgam removal technique). Dr. Brown's expertise in CAD/CAM technology in dentistry is a valuable asset to our team.
“It was the best experience I’ve had at the dentist. While my oral health is not as optimal as I desired, the staff at Family Holistic Dentistry made me feel comfortable during my treatment. They delivered information with care and handled my questions with sincerity.”
