Paul Schauwecker, DDS
Family and Cosmetic Dentist in Downtown Denver
Dr. Paul Schauwecker, DDS, provides family and cosmetic dental care at Espire Dental Riverfront in downtown Denver. He brings advanced clinical training and a genuinely calm chairside manner to every appointment, with a focus on restorative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and digital dentistry for patients across the greater Denver area.
Inspired by his father’s career in dentistry, Dr. Paul understood early on how much a healthy smile can shape someone’s confidence. That belief still drives his practice today.
Education and advanced dental training
Dr. Paul earned his Bachelor of Arts in Biology cum laude from Colorado College, where he was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society. He then earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from Creighton University School of Dentistry, building a strong foundation across all areas of comprehensive dental care.
Following graduation, he completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency at NYU Lutheran Medical Center in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. There, he treated a wide spectrum of complex cases in a community health setting, an experience that sharpened his clinical range and deepened his commitment to accessible, patient-first care.
After several years practicing in Boulder, CO, Dr. Paul joined Espire Dental Riverfront.
Dental services and clinical expertise
At Espire Dental Riverfront, Dr. Paul’s clinical expertise spans:
- Restorative dentistry: crowns, bridges, implant restorations, and root canal therapy
- Cosmetic dentistry: veneers, bonding, and smile makeovers
- Oral health: extractions and periodontal treatments
- Digital dentistry: CAD/CAM technology and same-day CEREC restorations
His use of digital dentistry tools means fewer appointments and more precise, lasting results for Denver patients.
A calm, unhurried patient experience
Dr. Paul believes great dental care starts before the drill ever turns on. He takes time to explain your options clearly, answer your questions honestly, and make sure you feel genuinely comfortable. Patients consistently describe him as calm, thorough, and easy to talk to.
He finds particular satisfaction in restorative and cosmetic work: the moment a patient sees their repaired smile for the first time, or finally gets relief from pain they have been living with. That outcome, patients feeling better and smiling more freely, is what keeps him engaged in dentistry every day.

What kinds of dental care does Dr. Paul Schauwecker provide?
Dr. Paul provides family and cosmetic dental care with a focus on restorative dentistry, including crowns, bridges, implant restorations, and root canal therapy. He also offers cosmetic treatment such as veneers, bonding, and smile makeovers, along with extractions and periodontal treatments.
What is a same-day CEREC restoration?
CEREC uses CAD/CAM technology to design and mill a restoration, such as a crown, in the office rather than sending it to an outside lab. For many patients this means fewer appointments and no temporary crown, with a precise, lasting result. Dr. Paul uses these digital tools regularly at Espire Dental Riverfront.
Can Dr. Paul help with a chipped, cracked, or damaged tooth?
Yes. Repairing damaged teeth is a core part of his practice. Depending on the tooth and your goals, that might mean bonding, a veneer, a crown, a bridge, or root canal therapy. He will walk you through the options and what each one involves before anything is scheduled.
What is an AEGD residency, and why does it matter?
An Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency is additional hospital-based training completed after dental school. Dr. Paul finished his AEGD at NYU Lutheran Medical Center in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, where he treated a wide spectrum of complex cases in a community health setting. That training broadened his clinical range and shaped his patient-first approach to care.
What can I expect at a first appointment with Dr. Paul?
Expect an unhurried conversation before any treatment begins. Dr. Paul takes time to explain your options clearly, answer questions honestly, and make sure you feel comfortable with the plan. Patients often describe him as calm, thorough, and easy to talk to.
Is Dr. Paul accepting new patients at Espire Dental Riverfront?
Yes. Espire Dental Riverfront is welcoming new patients from across the greater Denver area. You can book an appointment online or call the office to schedule a visit with Dr. Paul.
