Theodore Burnett, DDS, is a dynamic dental professional with 32 years of experience in general, cosmetic, and biomimetic dentistry. At his Los Angeles practice, Los Angeles Dental Arts, Dr. Burnett uses state-of-the-art technology that allows him to quickly and effectively treat most dental concerns.

As a biomimetic dentist, Dr. Burnett believes in conserving teeth without destroying additional structures. Biomimetic dentistry is a technique that differs from traditional dentistry because it treats fractured, decayed, or weak teeth in a way that seals them and keeps them protected against bacterial infection and favors tooth structure preservation rather than rather than destruction as a measure of dental treatment.

In addition to general dentistry, Dr. Burnett has extensive training in cosmetic dentistry and uses the latest techniques to provide his patients with the smiles of their dreams.

With instant 3D imaging, specialized software, and Cerec technology, Dr. Burnett is one of the few dentists who provides same-day dentistry, including crowns, bridges, veneers, and implants.

Fred A Bubernak, DDS, is a highly skilled dentist with a passion for personalized care. Through his practice in Woodbridge, Virginia, Dr. Bubernak has had the honor of helping thousands of patients find renewed dental health. He continues to find his work exciting and rewarding, and he enjoys welcoming new patients to the practice.

Preventive dentistry is the foundation of Dr. Bubernak’s practice. By providing comprehensive dental exams, he is able to identify areas of concern in the earliest possible stages. Dental decay and gum disease that are treated early can preserve smiles. Professional cleanings keep your teeth gleaming and free of plaque and tartar.

When restorative care is necessary, Dr. Bubernak prefers to take a conservative approach, preserving as much healthy tooth tissue as possible. There is never any pressure to choose one treatment option over another, and patients are given all the details needed to make informed decisions about their care.

Crowns, fillings, and endodontic treatments, like root canal, are available. Prosthodontic options include bridges and full or partial dentures. Dental implants are also an area of specialty and offer a permanent replacement option for one or more missing teeth. Patients who experience sleep apnea can also rely on Dr. Bubernak for top-quality care.

Cosmetic dentistry treatments are also available from Dr. Bubernak. Clear aligners can straighten your smile, and dental veneers can correct many different aesthetic issues. Teeth whitening is always a favorite option and can boost the shade of your smile in just one visit. 

Residents of Woodbridge, Virginia, who are searching for a great dentist with expansive experience should book a time to sit down with Fred A Bubernak, DDS, to learn more about his approach to dental health and wellness. Visits can be scheduled online or by phone, and the practice is currently welcoming new patients.
