We are implementing new protocols to ensure the safety and health of our patients and team. At Burke Mountain Dental we offer digital x-rays which are computer generated images. These images require up to 90% less radiation than with conventional film type x-rays.
Instead of using the traditional silver-oxide x-ray film that must be developed and then fixed in caustic and environmentally damaging solutions, the new system takes pictures via a small electronic sensor and instantaneously transmits a picture of the tooth onto the video monitor in the treatment room.Therefore, we can see your teeth and surrounding structures immediately.

Below are just some of the many procedures and services we regularly provide to our patients - with a gentle touch, and stunning results.

Dentists and dental hygienists use this information to safely and accurately detect hidden dental abnormalities and complete an accurate treatment plan.
