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!
