Now, more than ever, the medical and dental communities understand the significance of oral health. We take great pride in helping you and your family achieve and maintain optimal oral health through a comprehensive approach to dental care.

Services
Our mission is to help our patients maintain optimal oral health and to positively impact our patients' comfort, beauty, confidence, and general well-being. We do this by providing personalized and compassionate care, and using a long-term approach. Dr. John Gardiner bought the practice in 1973 from the previous dentist who had been in Fairhaven since the 1940's.
We have a network of highly skilled and compassionate dental specialists and dental laboratories with whom we work very closely. Dr. Burton also partners with a long-time colleague Dr. Wade who is a skilled oral surgeon specializing in placing dental implants. Dr. Wade works out of Newhaven Dental on most Mondays as well as his own office in Burlington the rest of the week.
Optimally a new patient is scheduled with our hygienists for x-rays, cleaning, and then an exam with Dr. Burton. Once we have a complete analysis of your oral health we will present you with a thorough treatment plan. However, we understand that a toothache can be a debilitating experience and are open to scheduling new patient toothaches for same day relief when our schedule permits.

Dr. Burton is hands down the best dentist. He has a very calm manor, is quick, efficient and has modern equipment. I appreciate his staff too, they are knowledgeable and work with me to help me feel comfortable. Thank you!

In the span of 4 weeks my smile has been 100% transformed! I got my teeth whitened for an incredibly reasonable price then had some forward facing fillings replaced to match my new tone. I’ve been getting compliments CONSTANTLY now! Not to mention their front desk rep Pam is an absolute gem! Thank you guys! -Reed

Dr. Burton is an excellent dentist. He doesn't push unnecessary treatments and has an attitude something like an old-time doctor of moderation and conservative care. He's a nice guy too. When something needs done he suggests it- if he thinks it can wait- he tells you. I like that.

I love Dr. Burton, he is the best dentist I've ever had. I've suffered from dental phobia most of my life and between Dr. Burton, his caring dental assistants and the technology they use (love the Isolite) they have gone a long way in making me feel more comfortable and relaxed during dental treatments. My teeth had a lot of problem and they look so much better now. Thank you!
