Dental services

Keep your smile healthy, bright and beautiful with dental cleanings at Burgin Dentistry. Burgin Dentistry strives to create and maintain stunning, healthy smiles. Our highly skilled dental team, consists of six amazing hygienists , will work with you to improve your oral and overall health using state of the art tools and technology. We will remove built up plaque and tartar and then we will polish your enamel for a bright, healthy smile. During your appointment, one of our hygienists will provide you with education on how to care for your teeth at home and discuss any areas that need special attention. 

A professional dental cleaning is considered a preventative procedure, so it is usually covered by dental insurance. We will contact your insurance company to determine your specific coverage and then calculate any out-of-pocket expenses. If you do not have dental insurance, please speak with a member of our team and we can discuss your out-of-pocket expenses with you.  Or ask us about our Burgin Membership Plan. 

Not only are professional cleanings an important part of a proactive dental care plan, but they can also save you and your family from a lot of trouble and expensive treatments later on. Contact our front office to schedule an appointment for yourself and your family today. 

The key to a healthy smile is being proactive about your dental needs. Dr. Burgin recommends getting two dental exams every year along with your bi-annual cleanings. Dr. Burgin will also do an evaluation of your overall health and hygiene, including any cavities, root decay, oral cancer, as well as your risk for bone and gum disease. One of our qualified assistants will assess your need for treatment using state of the art technology, including digital x-rays and Cone Beam X-Rays. 

We recommend that everyone, starting at 2 years of age, should start getting annual dental exams. We offer dental care to every member of the family and we can help address concerns at all different stages of life with proven techniques and advanced technology. We focus on not only providing a positive experience to younger patients, so that it is easier to keep them coming back for a lifetime of good oral hygiene, but we also like to give our adult patients, who have had a negative experience at another dental office feel safe and comfortable during their time with us. 

Kid's teeth are so important too! Our goal at Burgin Dentistry is to give each child a fun and stress-free dental experience. We encourage parents to schedule their child's visits at least twice a year for a dental cleaning and an exam with Dr. Burgin. During the visit, Dr. Burgin will assess the development of your child's teeth, look for areas of concern, and one of our amazing hygienists will educate your child on how to care for their mouth. Start your child off with a great smile by scheduling an appointment for them at Burgin Dentistry.

We recommend scheduling your child for their first dental visit at age 2. Your child may have their baby teeth for several years, so it is important they remain in good health until their permanent teeth have grown in. This means scheduling appointments twice a year for exams and cleanings.

Regularly scheduled pediatric dental exams and cleanings are usually covered by your dental insurance provider. If a treatment or procedure is necessary, our team will contact your provider to determine any additional costs. If you do not have dental insurance, we accept many payment methods to help make your child's dental care easier to afford. 

At Burgin Dentistry, we believe in the importance of using modern technology for a comprehensive diagnosis. This is why we use Digital X-Rays, Paperless Charting, and CBCT Technology so that we can give you the newest and the best. Digital X-rays allow our team to diagnose problems that are invisible to the naked eye, so that we can fully understand the health of your teeth, gums and bone. There are numerous dental and oral problems that can be discovered with digital x-rays, such as tooth decay, cavities, cysts, abscesses, bone loss and tooth impaction. When these problems are found early, you will likely have more treatment options that are less invasive and more effective. 

Typically, a dental insurance plan will cover the costs of digital x-rays as part of a routine dental exam. Our office will contact your insurance provider to determine any out-of-pocket expenses. 

Our goal at Burgin Dentistry is to stay one step ahead of dental conditions with regular dental cleanings and exams, but if you have symptoms of gum disease, a standard prophylaxis cleaning may not be enough. Burgin Dentistry utilizes advanced techniques to treat the earliest stage of gum disease (gingivitis) with scaling and root planing. Also called SRP. This nonsurgical procedure is performed by one of our hygienists to help eliminate gum disease by removing plaque and tartar that has built up under the gum line. This procedure cleans out the pockets in the gums and then soothes the tooth to prevent future buildup. 

During your dental exam, one of our skilled dental professionals will check the depth of your gum pockets. If the pockets are greater than 3 millimeters, a scaling and root planing treatment may be recommended. SRP helps reduce the size of your gum pockets so plaque and bacteria cannot collect in this area, which leads to the first stages of gum disease. 

Scaling and root planing is a common procedure for the treatment of gum disease that is usually covered in part by dental insurance. Our team will contact your insurance provider and determine any out-of-pocket expenses. 

While Burgin Dentistry is well-known for our smile transformations, we are also focused on protecting your teeth from damage. Teeth grinding at night is a common problem that causes damage to your teeth, gums and jaw. While the most visible sign of damage is wear or damage to the surface of the teeth, teeth grinding can also cause headaches, tooth pain, inflammation, and pain in your jaw and neck. We offer custom night guards that protect your mouth while you sleep. We make these from high-quality materials using state-of-the-art technology to fit you comfortably and prevent damage from teeth grinding and jaw clenching. You may be a candidate for a night guard if you often wake up with a headache in addition to pain, tightness, or swelling in your jaw. Other signs that may suggest the need for a night guard include loose teeth or fillings, worn-down enamel on the tops of your back teeth, tooth sensitivity, or a receding gum line. Teeth grinding at night is typically caused by stress, but it could also be the result of misaligned teeth, allergies, a sleep disorder, or temporomandibular joint disorder. We will also try to determine the cause of the condition, so we can create a comprehensive treatment plan. To diagnose if you would benefit from a night guard, we will perform a thorough dental examination. If we determine you could benefit from a night guard, we will take impressions and digital x-rays so your custom night guard can be made. We send this information to a dental laboratory where your night guard will be make out of high-quality materials and advanced technology. When your night guard is sent back to our office, you will be scheduled for a fitting. We may make minor adjustments to your night guard to ensure it fits comfortably and properly. Our team will also give you instructions on how to care for your night guard so it remains in great condition!

If a single tooth is damaged or worn down, it can be protected and strengthened with a high-quality dental crown. Also known as a cap, crowns are custom made to fit over your tooth and match the color of your surrounding teeth for a seamless and natural appearance. At Burgin Dentistry, we offer dental crowns to treat large cavities, protect weak teeth, restore cracked teeth, and even cover discolored teeth. Dental crowns may be needed in a variety of situations. During your appointment, we will take impressions of your teeth so your crown can be custom made. If needed, a temporary crown can be placed over your tooth while your custom crown is in production. Once your crown is ready, we will schedule an appointment for placement. The area to be treated will be numbed with a local anesthetic. We offer other sedation options to make sure you are comfortable during this time. Dr. Burgin will remove any areas of decay, then file down the tooth to make room for the crown so it will fit snugly. The crown will be cemented onto the tooth or attached to the dental implant. After the crown is set, we will adjust the fit of the crown so your bite is correct. You should be able to leave once your crown is placed and continue your daily activities. We will go over care for your crown and instructions with you. If you experience any problems with your crown, please contact our office! 

When you have one or more of your teeth missing, it is more than just a cosmetic issue. Missing teeth can cause your teeth to shift, pain when biting or chewing, your appearance can begin to change, or can cause speech impairments. A dental bridge will restore the appearance and health of your mouth by covering the space with a crown and/or bridge, supported by either your natural teeth, dental implants, or a combination of both. After your teeth are prepped for your bridge, we will take x-rays and impressions of your teeth so your custom bridge can be made. If needed, a temporary bridge can be placed while your custom bridge is being made. The bridge will either be cemented in place, attached to dental implants, or attached to your natural teeth depending on the circumstance. We will carefully adjust the fit of the bridge so it feels right in your mouth and remains in place. We will also show you how to maintain and care for your bridge. 

Dental restorations, like crowns and bridges, are typically covered, at least in part by dental insurance. Our front office staff will work with your insurance company to calculate your coverage and any out-of-pocket expenses. 

Dentures are a great option if you need a replacement for missing teeth. Removable dentures can renew the appearance of your smile and make it easier to speak and eat with confidence. Burgin Dentistry can provide either full or partial dentures for patients to help them get a natural-looking smile. Full dentures can replace all the teeth in your upper arch, lower arch, or both. Partial dentures leave some of your natural teeth to act as support. We will help you decide whether full or partial dentures are best for your needs and then we will have them custom-made to look natural. You may be an ideal candidate for dentures if you have suffered the loss of many teeth. Dr. Burgin will examine your mouth and teeth and discuss your options. At your appointment we may extract teeth before taking oral impressions that will be used to make your custom dentures. Partial dentures will be shaded to match your natural teeth. Once your dentures are crafted, they will be inserted and adjusted so they are comfortable, secure and look natural. We will also go over the best ways to care and clean your new dentures. If you have dental insurance, part of the cost of your dentures will typically be covered. We will contact your insurance company to determine your exact coverage and any out-of-pocket expenses. We are here to help you restore confidence in your smile! 

Root canals are recommended for the treatment of severely decayed teeth in situations where dental composite fillings are not an option. A root canal will treat the infected tooth and prevents decay from spreading and in most cases preventing the need for a tooth extraction. At times, patients will become nervous when a root canal is mentioned, however after it is over, they realize it really was not that difficult. For those that are extremely nervous, we do offer sedation dentistry to help ease your fears and anxiety and help you to relax. Some of the most common signs that you have an infected tooth, and will most likely need a root canal is tooth and/or jaw pain, swelling of the gums and/or tooth, and changes in the color of the tooth. If the root of the tooth is not removed, it will become increasingly painful as the infection spreads to other parts of your mouth. A root canal will stop the infection and stop it from spreading to other teeth or to your blood stream. During your appointment, Dr. Burgin will assess the inner chamber of your tooth and then will carefully remove the infected pulp. Then the inside of the empty chamber will be thoroughly sterilized to remove anything lingering. Once the tooth is cleaned, it will be filled with a special material to seal and protect the tooth. In most cases, a crown will be placed over the tooth to protect it. Your mouth may feel swollen and sensitive. We will give you all post op instructions and will answer any questions you may have! A root canal can be a fast and easy process to treat an infected tooth. If you have dental insurance, we will contact your insurance carrier and determine your coverage and any out-of-pocket expenses. 

Veneers are a great choice if you want to transform your smile quickly! Veneers are a thin shell of high-quality porcelain that are bonded directly to the front of your teeth. Veneers can hide a wide range of flaws, masking chipped, crooked or stained teeth. Dr. Burgin will determine if you are a good candidate for veneers. Since veneers are considered a cosmetic procedure, they are typically not covered by dental insurance. We recognize that veneers are a luxury item, but we feel like they are worth every penny!

Here at Burgin Dentistry, we love smile makeovers! A smile makeover may include teeth whitening (at-home or in-office treatments), veneers, teeth straightening, restorative procedures and more! Dr. Burgin will customize your smile makeover treatment plan to match your goals. Prior to beginning your treatments, we will contact your dental insurance provider to determine your benefits and let you know your out-of-pocket expenses. Although your smile makeover will likely be considered primarily cosmetic, certain treatment such as dental restorations may be covered in part by insurance. We are committed to help each and every patient achieve your smile goals! 

We have a few  different options for whitening teeth for our patients.   The first option is: 

In-office teeth whitening offers excellent results.  This procedure is performed in the office, by one of our assistants  and can be done quickly, usually less than 30 minutes.  After your trays are ready, you will receive syringes that you can use at home. These trays can be worn a couple of hours a day, or overnight and can take anywhere from one use to a couple of weeks before the desired results are noticed. A benefit of these trays are that they are custom made and fit your teeth exactly. 

Whitening To Go 

We also offer a Whitening To Go option for our patients and is also a great option for those patients  who don't have the time to wait for a nightguard, or want to get your smile ready for a last minute trip or vacation. Just call us and we can have it ready for you! 

We are proud to offer numerous solutions to help you relax and stop all your nervousness and dental phobias and anxiety, so that you can obtain the gorgeous smile you want with minimal discomfort. If anxiety is holding you back from achieving your smile goals, we can help. 

CONSCIOUS SEDATION

We are so excited to offer you a alternative to Nitrous Oxide for those patients who  have anxiety and fear about going to the dentist. There are several different options for oral-conscious sedation that Dr. Burgin could use, and we will recommend a type depending on your level of anxiety, your physical health, what procedure is being performed, and how long your appointment should take. At this type of sedation appointment, you will need a ride to and from the scheduled appointment. With light oral-conscious sedation, you will remain relaxed, but still be awake and alert. With moderate sedation, you will stay conscious, but you will be extremely relaxed, in a sleep-like state, and your memory of the procedure will be gone shortly after the appointment. In other words, you will go into  light sleep and wake up with your dental treatment completed and you will be heading home. 

NITROUS OXIDE GAS

Nitrous Oxide gas is an effective sedation method that can help you to safety relax without feeling groggy afterwards. This is sometimes known as laughing gas, and it can help make you feel more comfortable, but still awake. Nitrous Oxide can be used on adults and children, and can be used for all different kinds of appointments, and is combined with local anesthesia to maximize comfort. 

Recovery from Nitrous sedation is usually immediate and you are back to normal within 3 - 5 minutes. You should have no problem being able to drive and resume your normal day to day activities when you leave our office. 

This is a long form text area designed for your content that you can fill up with as many words as your heart desires. You can write articles, long mission statements, company policies, executive profiles, company awards/distinctions, office locations, shareholder reports, whitepapers, media mentions and other pieces of content that don’t fit into a shorter, more succinct space.

Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.

Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.

Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.

Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
