Dr. Burke has merged her love of holistic health and dentistry. Her philosophy is to educate every patient in order to provide awareness of the importance of maintaining good oral health, as the immune system starts in the gut, and the gut starts in the mouth. Consequently, every material placed in the mouth will affect the overall health. Dr. Burke has a conservative approach to dentistry; she believes in not over diagnosing or doing more than necessary. She promises to treat her patients how she would her family. In addition, she is an advocate of continuing education in conventional and holistic dentistry in order to offer her patients the latest and safest materials, procedures and technology.
She currently lives in Boulder with her husband, two young children(Kevin&Alicia) and 2 dogs(Bella&Luna). Together they enjoy Colorado and all the outdoor activities it has to offer. Dr. Carmen Burke is a caring, gentle holistic and family dentist, who loves to establish strong and long lasting relationships with kids and adults.
Dr. Anna Jumtina, DDS - Biological Dentist
Hi, my name is Dr. Anna Jumtina. I was born and raised in Latvia, and lived 10 years in Alaska before moving to Colorado to attended the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine.
Growing up in Latvia I became connected to nature from a very early age. There was almost an ethos about the way we treated what we put in our bodies and the earth. My philosophy is that our bodies have innate wisdom for healing, and my goal is to guide my patients to their optimal oral health by using biocompatible materials and finding the root cause of their symptoms.
I met Dr. Burke when I was a 4th year dental student. I was looking for opportunities that align with my beliefs, and fortunately for me Dr. Burke was looking for someone to join her practice at the same time. The rest is history!
I feel that a building a two-way, trusting relationship with a patient is one of the most important aspects of dentistry. So for me it’s important for patients to get their care in an environment that’s warm, respectful, well organized, and calm. I pride myself in being empathetic, welcoming and a good listener, and have found these qualities to be vital in my dental career.
DR. ALEXIS BROWN, DDS - BIOLOGICAL DENTIST

She attended Texas A&M University and completed her Bachelors of Science Degree in Biology in 2008. She then went on to study at Baylor College of Dentistry and received her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2013. She married her high school sweetheart, Michael, and after enjoying many summer trips to Colorado together, they finally decided to move their growing family back to her native state in 2014. Together they now live in Arvada with their three children and enjoy hiking, cooking, and many sports.
“I love dentistry because of the real personal and authentic connections I get to make with people and their families every day. Developing this strong interactive relationship with patients is the foundation I strive for and what makes my job amazing. Not only do I help people transform their smile and confidence but also their general health by having a healthy mouth. What has drawn to me holistic and biological dentistry is my conservative and minimally invasive treatment philosophies, continual quest for learning, and to understand the root cause of symptoms and diseases. This is what brought me to Family Holistic Dentistry, where the entire team is dedicated to delivering this with the best care and the highest standards.”
