About Lafayette Dental Excellence

Lafayette Dental Excellence is a dental practice on Crossing Drive in Lafayette, Colorado. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth at the root, not just the crown — a small titanium post is placed in the jaw bone and, once it has integrated over a period of months, a replacement tooth is attached to it. It is generally the most durable option for a single missing tooth or several.

A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.

Cosmetic dentistry covers treatment aimed primarily at appearance — whitening, veneers, bonding, and reshaping among the more common options — for patients who are less concerned with a problem that hurts than with how their smile looks day to day. The right combination depends on what specifically you would like to change.

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it.

A crown covers an entire damaged tooth — used when too much structure is missing for a filling to hold reliably, whether from a large fracture, extensive decay, or after root canal treatment. It restores both the shape and the biting strength of the tooth underneath.

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to crowns placed on the teeth either side of the gap, creating a fixed replacement rather than a removable one. It is a longstanding alternative to an implant, particularly when the neighbouring teeth already need crowns.

Wow! If I could give 10 stars…I would. What a great experience! I’m on vacation in Lafayette and had an emergency. They brought me in same day, were super nice, and extremely efficient. I was out and on my way in less than one hour with major relief. I recommend Dr. Leo and staff to anybody and everybody…well done! 👍

I whole-heartedly appreciate Dr. Leo and his knowledgeable, professional, and outstanding staff at Lafayette Dental Excellence. I've held onto unhealthy "fears" of the dental profession for far too long, so it feels good to let that all go. I'm excited to say I now look forward to my dental visits! The office and atmosphere is fresh & clean, organized, friendly and calm. I love the music they play as it spans all genres, and there's no denying the genuine positivity that radiates from everyone, especially Dr. Leo. I'm extremely satisfied with all three of my crowns, one filling, and bonding of a single tooth which needed some care. I'm so pleased with Dr. Leo's precision, gentleness, eye for detail, and unmatched technical skills. He truly is exceptional. I've always felt a little embarrassed to smile, but I can honestly say I LOVE my smile now! Although the dental work I had done was for teeth in the back there's something to be said for having quality care as this makes me feel my best! Restored confidence and the gift of happiness and hope is PRICELESS. Thank you Dr. Leo!!! You and your staff are so amazing, and appreciated!

Second visit to Lafayette Dental Excellence, both visits now have been wonderful, so much so, I just had to write a second review! Dr. Leo has fantastic skills and a gentle touch. The equipment is progressive, and impressive, at least to me. I've had some interesting dental experiences since the early 1970's up till now. I found myself relaxed the entire procedure. Jane, the assisting Dental Technician/Hygienist, is superb. She is very adept at her craft- I am grateful for her talents and kindness. Also thank you Mary! On many occasions she continues to answer all of my billing and booking questions, assists with my understandings of insurance & coverage, and what's on tap for upcoming procedures. Finally, thank you Brisa! So helpful and courteous every time I call! Cheers!

I came in for a cleaning and was very impressed with the kindness and professionalism of everyone in the office. My hygienist, Rebecca, was fun to chat with and did a great job on my cleaning. I was grateful to Dr. Leo for doing a thorough exam, taking the time to explain everything, and recommending treatment options without pushing anything. Everyone here seems to genuinely enjoy what they do, and it shows. Happy to have found this office!

New to town and was recommended Dr. Leo’s practice. He is an amazing dentist, takes time to explain all options and getting to understand his patients. I have a lot of complications in my mouth, so it’s so comforting to know that he has all my best interest at hand. Every single Hygienist is super lovely, kind and efficient, true professionals.

First time patient visit, received thorough X-rays and teeth cleaning session from Heather, who is INCREDIBLE! She offered me numbing gel for the process because I’ve always had very sensitive teeth since childhood. I’ve never been to a dentist office for a regular cleaning where numbing gel was an option! The most pleasurable cleaning I’ve ever had. I’m thrilled :-) Brie (apologies if I misspell your name) was amazing too. She took a type of 3D imaging of my upper & lower teeth so that I could understand areas that need care, why it is essential, and what requires attention. Dr. Leo was very knowledgeable, kind and considerate, clear, and answered all of my questions. He was adept at educating me on misconceptions about my own oral health. I never felt rushed, I felt heard, and was offered attainable goals. Additionally, there is a great sense of calm in the office which is terrific. Highly recommend Lafayette Dental Excellence! Cheers!
