About Angela K Burns, DDS
Dr. Angie followed in her father’s footsteps after growing up in his Middle TN dental practice. She always admired the care her father gave his patients, and she discovered at a young age that dentistry was her life’s calling.
After completion of dental school at the University of Tennessee Memphis College of Dentistry in 1996, Dr. Angie moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, where she completed a one year general practice residency at the University of Tennessee Medical Center. During her residency, she gained an unspeakable amount of knowledge and experience assessing and caring for medically-compromised patients, as well as those with challenging dental circumstances.
Dr. Angie is committed to pursuing continuing education to stay on top of trends and adopt new technology in order to give her patients the best possible care. She is a member of the American Society of Implant Restorative Dentistry and participates in advanced dental implant courses in pursuit of being one of East Tennessee’s leading implant dentistry experts. Dr. Angie also completed over 250 hours of classroom education at the Kois Center from 2016-2018 in Seattle, Washington. She is highly trained to help patients develop more comprehensive and predictable long-term dental health plan and provide multiple treatment options.
Dr. Angie received the Tennessee Dental Association’s Fellowship Award in 2012. This award, the highest honor the TDA bestows, recognizes dedication and outstanding service to the dental community.
Dr. Angie is a member of the TDA, American Dental Association, American Society of Implant Dentists, East Tennessee Academy of Dental Practice Administration and the Second District Dental Society. She has the distinct honor of being a fellow in both the International College of Dentists and the American College of Dentists.
Away from the office, Dr. Angie enjoys all that East Tennessee has to offer in outdoor activities. She spends time gardening, boating on Norris Lake and, of course, watching Tennessee Volunteers Athletics. Dr. Angie is an avid scuba diver, and she enjoys traveling to some of the best dive sites South Florida and the Caribbean have to offer. She has also enjoyed mission work in Honduras on the Island of Roatan.
Dr. Angie is very close to her family, and she cherishes the time she spends with them and her friends.

Dental Implant Procedures by Dr Burns
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a root-form titanium screw that is surgically placed in the jaw to create an anchor for teeth to be built upon. Dental implants are considered the best way to replace missing teeth.
Single Posterior Implant
The majority of dental implants involve the replacement of a back tooth. Referred to as a single posterior implant, this procedure is typically less complex and less costly than many people expect.
Front Tooth Implant
Dental implants are an excellent option for replacing a missing front tooth in most cases. Front tooth implants are not as common as dental implants replacing missing molars or back teeth.
Full Mouth Implants
Missing most or all of your teeth due to damage, periodontal disease, or tooth decay? Full mouth dental implants, which your dentist may call full mouth restoration or reconstruction, can be a great option.
Tooth Extractions
Sometimes referred to as “having a tooth pulled,” a tooth extraction is a very common oral surgical procedure in which a natural tooth is removed from the jaw. An implant may be placed after adequate healing time.
Bone Grafting
After teeth are extracted, bone can atrophy or shrink to the point that bone grafting is required. Bone grafting builds up bone foundations for sufficient implant stability and strength.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a cap or cover that protects the tooth and restores it to mimic natural shape, size, and function. Crowns are make of zirconia or porcelain and can be either cemented or screw-retained.
Screw Retained Crowns
A screw-retained implant crown is a single-tooth fixed restoration that is secured to a dental implant by means of a screw. Screw retained crowns are popular due to the proven long-term success they deliver.
Cemented Crowns
A cemented crown is a dental crown that is secured to a dental implant using a luting agent similar to dental crowns cemented onto natural teeth. Cemented crowns are beautiful, functional, and extremely durable.
Dental Bridges
An implant bridge or dental bridge is a permanent option that replaces multiple missing teeth. It literally bridges areas that are missing one or more teeth and fill in larger spaces with natural looking crowns.
Dentures
Often made of plastic, acrylic or hard resin, dentures are outdated replacements for missing teeth that must be removed daily for cleaning. Patients typically dislike dentures and have difficulty chewing with them.
Locator Overdentures
Also known as the LODI System, Locator overdentures use abutments (posts) and attachments (snaps) to secure a removable denture to dental implants. This system allows many patients to wear and use lower dentures.
Overdentures
Overdentures help solve many of the problems associated with wearing regular false teeth. Dental implants can anchor over dentures in place so they don’t move around when chewing, smiling, or talking.
Partial Dentures
Partial removable dentures, sometimes referred to as "partials," are removable dental appliances that replace one or more missing teeth. The replacement teeth are attached to a gum-colored acrylic base.
Implant Cosmetics
The goal of implant cosmetic dentistry is to create tooth-like restorations that are strong, mimic natural beauty and completely restore natural function. Think of cosmetic dentistry as plastic surgery for teeth.
Excellent experience with very knowledgeable professionals, certainly exceeding the capabilities from where I moved. Would highly recommend.
