“I had neglected my teeth and gums for several years and needed extensive work. Before coming to Dr. Burden I hated the pain, cleanings and entire experience of the dentist’s office. Now my teeth and gums are in the best condition ever. Originally Dr. Burden thought I needed more periodontal work. However, through his hard work and my persistence, he got my gums healthy without the periodontal work. Dr. Burden has been awesome. I have not experienced any pain from any procedure. I never thought that would be possible. I love the office atmosphere and personnel. Nicole does my cleanings and is just great!”
“I needed braces because I didn’t have enough room in my mouth for all my teeth and had a slight overbite. I wanted to have my teeth straightened without headgear or having any teeth removed. I went to two other places for braces first but they wanted to remove permanent teeth or have me wear headgear and I wanted neither. I can see a big difference in my teeth and they feel like they straightened up pretty quickly. Dr. Burden makes me laugh and feel comfortable. I especially liked the treasure box in the office, and the fact that everyone is so nice and always seems to be in a good mood.”
Judith had periodontal treatment and veneers
“It was worth trying and I needed a dentist since I was new in town. I hated my front teeth for many years. My prior experience with dentistry was awful! As a result, I neglected regular checkups. Now I love my smile and I’m not afraid to show my teeth. I have greater self-confidence. Everyone is genuinely caring and friendly.”
Taru received fillings, crowns, cleanings and teeth whitening
“What interested us in coming here was the courteous staff, Dr. Burden’s reputation for great dental work, and the total family environment. Prior to coming here our experience with dentistry had a lack of continuity, a lack of sincerity and lack of family environment. The benefits of coming to Dr. Burden is overall better well being, brighter smile and professional appearance. I liked that he was professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. I have an overall positive, pleasant and healthy feeling when I leave the dental office after each appointment.”
