Saving Hopeless Teeth
It used to be that
when teeth had roots that became damaged or infected, the only
solution was to pull the tooth. Thankfully, we no longer have to
resort to such drastic measures. Today we can perform root canal
therapy that not only resolves the problem, but also saves the
tooth. With today’s modern technology and anesthetics, we’re
happy to report that the therapy is often simple,
straight-forward, and virtually painless!
Porcelain PROCERA™ Crowns
Now
you can have metal-free crowns that have the strength of metal
but not any of the downsides. Dr. Knutson and Dr. Rio use
PROCERA crowns, which are made from the latest generation of
dental material. In fact, this material is so strong it‘s used
to make the Space Shuttle tiles. What this means for you is that
your restoration will last longer than ever before.
Picture-Perfect Gorgeous Dentures
Dentures are a fine
replacement for missing teeth. If you choose to select this
option, we can design and fit natural-looking dentures that
won’t slip. Recent technology allows us to anchor a denture so
securely that you no longer have to worry about the foods you
eat or fear the slipping or shifting of your dentures. If you
are already a denture wearer, we invite you to ask us about this
procedure. It will make your life so much more pleasurable.

Suffering from Migraine Headaches?
We Practice What We Preach
Until you’ve suffered
from headaches, you can’t imagine how debilitating they can be.
Sometimes they are caused by stress or other medical conditions;
sometimes they are caused by the involuntary clenching or
grinding of one’s teeth (also called bruxism). The NTI™
Appliance is a removable dental appliance (similar to a
mouthguard) that prevents the clenching action that causes so
many of our headaches. If you suffer from headaches, do let us
know. It may very well be that this U.S. FDA-approved appliance
can help you. It has helped more than one member of the
Burlington Dental Health Care staff, and it may very well help
you too!
Health Through Hygiene
At Burlington Dental
Health Care, few things make us as happy as the words “Good
Check-Up.” We delight when our patients come for their regular
check-ups and cleanings and get the thumbs up. We take pride in
our state-of-the art equipment, in the thoroughness of our
exams, and in the unparalleled expertise of our hygienists. Our
hygienists will not only show you the best way to take care of
your teeth, they will thoroughly review your health history,
take your blood pressure, and clean your teeth in ways that are
impossible for you to do at home. Their trained eyes will search
for any signs of periodontal (gum) disease, and they will, when
necessary, recommend and perform “deep cleaning” procedures to
help restore the health of your gums. They will give you a
“dentist’s” view of your mouth through the aid of our Intra-Oral
Cameras, and when your appointment is finished, they will give
you the gift of a new toothbrush, dental floss, and any other
oral hygiene aids that may help you.
We Care About the Kids
Each generation tries
to the help the next, and we, at Burlington Dental Health Care,
care about the kids. We strive to make each child’s visit as
comfortable as possible so that in the future, the children will
not only look forward to going to the dentist, they’ll also be
motivated to do whatever they can to get good check-ups in the
future. This begins with our hygienist thoroughly cleaning the
child’s teeth and giving them professional fluoride treatments
to help defend against tooth decay. Then, with the use of our
Intra-Oral Cameras, we engage the kids to take ownership of the
care of their mouths, and we finish by explaining to both
children, and parents alike the benefits of dental sealants. We
believe in the children and no matter how young or old, we treat
them as individuals and seek to engage them in their oral
health.
See What the Doctor Sees
Did you ever try to
see the side or back of one of your own teeth? Pretty difficult,
isn’t it? Well, not anymore. Through the aid of a high-tech tool
called the Intra-Oral Camera, you can now see what the dentists
and the hygienists see. This amazing device is actually a
miniature video camera that displays a close-up picture of the
inside of your mouth. And it even has a little spotlight to
illuminate the darkest of areas. You can see for yourself which
teeth are doing fine and which may need a little attention.
You’ll love how this works because you’ll not only hear about
the state of your oral health – you’ll actually be able to see
it!
90% Reduction in Radiation
Patient safety and
comfort are key to the care we provide to our patients, and that
is why we chose to convert our traditional x-ray equipment to
Digital Imaging. With this new technology, we can examine the
obscured areas of a single tooth or of your entire mouth with
90% less radiation than before. And we can do it faster and in a
more environmentally friendly manner. Gone are the long waits
for x-rays to be developed. Gone is the use of chemicals to
develop x-ray film. Digital imaging is truly the triple crown of
x-rays, and we are proud to offer it to our patients!
