You deserve more than a quick, cursory inspection by a dentist or other dental professional
while you are getting your teeth cleaned. You deserve to have a comprehensive oral health examination by a dentist committed to excellence
and quality.
Think of "comprehensive dentistry" as taking sufficient time and care to thoroughly discuss your concerns, examine together the full
condition of your oral health and what has contributed to it, and to explore the options for addressing existing problems and achieving
your health and cosmetic goals.
One difference between a "tooth mechanic on roller skates" and a comprehensive dentist is the desire and ability to look beyond your
symptoms to the causes of your problems. We want to rid you of any pain and disease as quickly as possible, and then make sure we establish
a sound plan of treatment that will eliminate the root causes of the problems you experienced. Once we have established this firm foundation,
we can restore your teeth to long-term beautiful appearance, function, and comfort.
Many patients suffer from periodontal (gum) disease, tooth decay, and/or occlusal disease. Much of the general population is treated for
gum disease and tooth decay, but not their occlusal problems.
Your "occlusion" is your bite, the way your teeth come together. A poor bite causes stress that can result in worn down and cracked teeth,
painful teeth, loose teeth, jaw muscle pain, jaw joint pain, headaches and more. One of the comprehensive dentist's goals is to provide you
with a stable, well functioning bite. This stable bite will ensure that your teeth and dental restorations such as crowns, fillings, onlays,
veneers, dental implants and bridges, last years longer than they would otherwise.
Our office specializes in a multitude of cosmetic dentistry procedures that can help give you the perfect, even teeth you've always wanted.
Whether you are looking to subtly enhance your smile or are in need of more extensive work, we can help you to look and feel more beautiful
and confidant.
It's important for you to know that not all smile makeovers are done in a hurry. In fact, carefully phased treatment may result in better,
longer-lasting dentistry, and can often be achieved over time according to a planned budget. There's nothing superficial about cosmetic
changes based on optimal dentistry that comprehensively addresses your health, function, comfort and beauty. In our practice, we do not do
cosmetic makeovers that compromise your long-term best welfare. Predictable, long-lasting results are our goal. This may take a bit longer,
but you are worth it.
Our practice is highly computerized, so your visits will be smooth, convenient, and hassle-free. Dr. Burgess, our dental hygienists,
our dental assistants, and our friendly office staff are each willing to go the extra mile to ensure that your experience with us is a
positive one. We know how precious your teeth are, so we guarantee nothing but the best, most comfortable, modern care.
The caring, comprehensive approach we take to ensure your comfort also extends beyond our office to the specialists we work with. Dr.
Burgess has developed relationships with specialists who are experts in their fields and care deeply about taking the time to communicate
thoroughly with patients. If you are in need of special services by a periodontist, oral surgeon, endodontist, or orthodintist, Dr. Burgess
and his staff help coordinate your appointments and thoroughly familiarize the specialist with your condition and treatment plan so you
receive the intended optimal care.
