Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions through surgical placement of titanium posts. Our dentists perform comprehensive evaluations to determine candidacy, followed by precise implant placement and restoration with crowns or bridges. This service addresses single or multiple missing teeth while preserving jawbone integrity.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services remove surface stains and deep discoloration using advanced bleaching techniques. We offer customized take-home trays and in-office treatments to safely enhance smile aesthetics while minimizing sensitivity through dentist-supervised protocols.
Periodontal Treatments
Our hygienists provide specialized periodontal care including scaling, root planing, and maintenance therapies. These treatments address gum disease progression while monitoring tissue health through regular soft tissue examinations and pocket depth measurements.
Orthodontic Retainers
Custom orthodontic retainers maintain proper tooth positioning following braces or clear aligner treatment. We fabricate both fixed and removable retainers using precision dental models to ensure long-term stability of corrected bites and smiles.
Oral Cancer Screening
Routine oral cancer screenings involve systematic visual and tactile examination of soft tissues including the mouth floor, tongue underside, and palate. This preventive service detects abnormalities early through comprehensive soft tissue assessments during regular checkups.

Report
My toddler son had a bad experience with a previous dentist and refused/was scared to even walk into a dentists office. Dr Trish went above and beyond even before he officially became a patient at the office, which demonstrates how much she cares about her work and her patients. My son has since, enjoyed going to the dentist and actually looks forward to his dentist appointments. This is not an easy feat, so we highly recommend coming here, especially if you have little ones!

Report
As someone who experiences anxiety and avoidance around dental appointments heading back to the dentist was tough. Dr. Burns and her team made an experience wrought with anxiety and fear painless (emotionally and physically). Dr. Burns is non-judgemental, understanding, compassion and efficient. She ensured that I was physically and emotionally comfortable during my visit and I look forward to continuing to work with her and her team of assistants and hygienists.

I lost an old crown on a Thursday evening and was concerned that I would have problems with the weekend approaching. As the clinic was not fully operational on Friday, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there was only one fully booked dentist working - not Dr. Burns. However she came into the clinic to attend to me, fixed up the tooth, and relieved my stress. Greatly appreciated.
Dr. Burns is empathetic with a great personality!
