Why dentistry

Dr. Freund chose dentistry because it gives her the opportunity to build real connections with patients while improving their health, comfort, and confidence. She enjoys the combination of hands-on clinical work, problem-solving, and one-on-one relationships that dentistry requires every day. For patients with damaged teeth, missing teeth, dental anxiety, or more complex needs, she focuses on helping them understand what is happening, what their options are, and how to move forward with confidence.

Dental services and clinical focus

At Espire Dental Longmont, Dr. Freund provides preventive, restorative, surgical, and implant dentistry for adults, along with care for children when general dental treatment is the right fit.

• Preventive dental care: routine exams, dental cleanings, digital X-rays, periodontal screening, and oral cancer screening
• Same-day CEREC crowns: ceramic crowns designed to restore damaged, weakened, cracked, or worn teeth
• Dental implant placement: surgical placement of implants for patients replacing missing teeth
• Dental implant restoration: implant crowns and restorative planning after implant placement
• Tooth extractions: removal of teeth that cannot be predictably restored or that compromise oral health
• Root canal treatment: care for infected or inflamed teeth with the goal of preserving the natural tooth
• Dental surgery: surgical dental care for patients with more involved treatment needs
• Full-mouth rehabilitation: comprehensive restorative planning for patients with complex bite, wear, missing tooth, or breakdown concerns

Dr. Freund is especially excited to provide more implant dentistry and full-mouth rehabilitation for patients with more complex and involved treatment needs. Her background with crowns, extractions, root canals, surgery, and implants allows her to look at the full picture rather than one tooth in isolation.

A friendly, efficient approach to care

Dr. Freund’s care style is rooted in clear communication, comfort, and trust. She enjoys interacting with people and works to make each visit feel personal, organized, and manageable. Patients who feel nervous about dentistry value her approachable personality and her ability to explain treatment without pressure.

Outside the office

Outside the dental office, Dr. Freund enjoys staying active and spending time outdoors. Her interests include hiking, running, yoga, indoor cycling, lifting, and skiing.
