Mission Statement, John L. Burch DDS

Mission Statement

The mission of our dental practice is to provide first-quality dental care in a state-of-the-art environment with careful attention to detail and deep personal respect.

In addition, we take special interest in helping the fearful or sensitive patient, who may have had difficulty before, and may be avoiding dental treatment because he or she has been hurt elsewhere.

Guiding principles

We apply the following guiding principles to everything we do:

Be present.

We only see one patient at a time (No double-booking).

Be authentic.

We are an honest office and only recommend treatment for our patients that we would have for ourselves. (No over-treatment planning).

Be inclusive.

We base our measure of success on the quality of the relationship we have with each patient, not just on the quality of the dental service we provide.

Be responsible.

We use only the best materials and labs. All instruments go through a steam autoclave for sterilization. All services are rendered with the latest techniques available.

In addition...

We now offer CEREC one visit dentistry for all dental crowns, veneers, inlays and dental onlays.

Our office is Nobel Biocare Procera "Teeth-in-an-Hour" dental implant certified.

We provide a written treatment plan, showing all costs and fees in advance, so that there will be no surprises.

We offer general anesthesia where necessary.

We don't keep working if you are not 100% numb - ever.

If you need help financially, we will work with you to find a way for you to maintain your dental health.

We offer a $200 credit for all new patients who initially find our office on the Internet.

We never hesitate to assist any patient who wishes to seek a second opinion, or review any of our services or recommendations we provide.

We offer unique Audiosedation for improved patient relaxation.

Finally, we guarantee all our work and are a Value Certified Five Star office.

Financial assistance

Seniors get 10% off on all work (over age65).

We have several outside service providers who can provide financing for up to five years at very competitive rates.

And finally, we sponsor several cases each year "on the house" for families (especially children) who cannot afford the treatment they need.

Best regards,

Dr. Burch
