At Joe Burns DDS, we offer a wide range of dental services to ensure your smile is healthy and looks how you want it to. Whether you need a little fix or something more, we’ve got your back. Here’s a closer look at what we do:
Dental Bonding: This is like a quick fix for minor imperfections on your teeth. If you’ve got a small chip, crack, or gap, dental bonding uses a tooth-colored material to cover it up. It’s like using putty to fill a small hole in the wall, making it look smooth again.
Porcelain Veneers: Veneers are thin, strong shells designed to cover the front of your teeth. They’re great for fixing uneven teeth, chips, stains, or gaps. It’s similar to putting on a new front cover to make a book look brand new.
Teeth Whitening: If your teeth look dull or yellow, whitening can brighten them. It’s a simple way to boost your smile, like washing your car until it shines.
Periodontal Cleaning: This special cleaning focuses on your gums to keep them healthy and prevent gum disease. It’s like deep cleaning your room, not just where everyone sees it but getting into every corner to ensure it’s clean.
TMJ Disorder Treatment: If your jaw hurts or makes noises when you open and close your mouth, you might have a TMJ disorder. We can help ease the pain and make your jaw work smoothly again, like fixing a squeaky hinge on a door.
Tooth Extractions: Sometimes, a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be saved. We do this carefully to ensure you ensure and help your mouth quickly. It’s like removing a weak link from a chain to ensure the rest of it stays strong.
Emergency Dentist: If you have a sudden toothache, injury, or another urgent dental issue, we’re here to help immediately. It’s essential to have someone you can count on in an emergency, just like having a good friend who’s always there when you need them.
Dental Crowns: Crowns are used to cover and protect a damaged tooth. They’re custom-made to look and feel like natural teeth, providing strength and improving appearance. It’s akin to putting a protective case on a valuable item to keep it safe.
Dental Implants: If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental implants are a robust and lasting way to replace them. They’re like new tooth roots that provide a foundation for replacement teeth, making your smile complete again.
Implant-Supported Dentures: These are not your ordinary dentures. They’re supported by and attached to dental implants, which means they stay in place better than traditional dentures. It’s like upgrading from regular shoes to ones with the best grip for your feet.
