Painless dentistry is a means of ensuring your visit and treatment is as stress-free and pain-free as possible. We will discuss treatment options that may require no local anesthetic and whenever possible, alleviate pain by the means most comfortable to you.
If our office is closed and you have a dental (non-life threatening) emergency, please call and select the option for leaving a message for Dr. Burke. The call will be forwarded to him and he will return your call as soon as possible.
During your first visit, one of our staff members will compile your medical and dental history. Then, we will examine your teeth and gums, screen for oral cancer, take X-rays of your teeth as needed and complete a TMJ (temporomandibular or jaw joint) exam. After reviewing your dental profile, we’ll be able to discuss a diagnosis and treatment options with you and refer you to a specialist if necessary. We will also discuss your payment options and help you determine the best plan to fit your needs.
During your regular visits, we will examine your teeth and gums, screen you for oral cancer, clean your teeth and make treatment plans if needed. We will also discuss any pain or problems you may be experiencing and answer any questions you may have.
We have seen teeth in every condition imaginable and are not shocked by anything. We also do not judge AT ALL. We will treat you with compassion and give you your options to make the situation better. Quite often we will take care of the most pressing problems first, then patients return later to get a complete exam.
