Skill and compassion go hand in hand when providing exceptional patient care. As a dental professional, I stay up to date on the latest advancements in dentistry in order to provide the most current treatment options for my patients. As a doctor, I recognize that my patients are unique individuals who have placed a great deal of trust in me and my team. That is just one reason why I value each and every patient relationship.
I was born and raised in Trotwood, Ohio, and I attended Wright State University in Fairborn. There, I earned my bachelor's degree in accounting and finance back in 1998. I decided to enter dental school and finished my DDS at The Ohio State University, College of Dentistry, in 2004. Dental school allowed me the opportunity to explore many aspects of the profession, including pedodontics (working with children) and geriatrics (working with senior citizens). My commitment to education is ongoing. I take many CEs every year because dentistry constantly evolves, clinically and technologically. I earned my master's degree in public health from Benedictine University.
After graduation, I learned some invaluable skills and had a wonderful experience as a resident at Veteran's Administration in Dayton. During my residency, I worked with minor to complex dental cases and developed an interest in public health dentistry. Shortly thereafter, I moved to Lima and began working at Allen County Health Partners, where I stayed on staff until 2007.
I went into private practice, Burns Dental, in 2007 and have thoroughly enjoyed becoming a part of this community. The dear people who are my patients give me so many reasons to smile! I also like supporting local youth groups and community events.
At the core of our dental practice is a friendly team of professionals that are dedicated to your utmost comfort and optimal oral health. We view each patient as a unique individual, and tailor each treatment to your specific needs. As part of our commitment to providing close, personalized attention to every patient, we want to encourage patient communication. Please know that we are here to provide outstanding patient care, and that we value the trust you have placed in us.
In 2002, I went to Hondros Business College in Fairborn, Oh and obtained a real estate certificate. In 2004, I attended the Upper Valley JVS in Piqua, OH and took dental assistant classes and in 2007 I obtained my radiography license. I also obtained my phlebotomy certification at Apollo Career Center. What I love about being a dental assistant is meeting each patient and furthering my education in the field.
I attended James A. Rhodes State College for dental hygiene and graduated in 2008. I started working for Dr. Amerson that year. I then attended Sinclair Community College to become certified to place fillings in 2012.
I am a graduate of Elida High School. After graduating from Elida, I attended Lima Technical College, currently known as Rhodes State, and graduated with an Associate Degree in Dental Hygiene. I enjoy working as a hygienist. I am able to meet so many people and help them with their dental health.
I was born and raised in a small farm town in Indiana. After working in a manufacturing office for 10 years, I chose to return to college. I explored several different medical fields and eventually decided on dental hygiene and I have loved it ever since! I graduated from James A. Rhodes State College with an Associates Degree in Applied Sciences, with a major in Dental Hygiene. I enjoy providing my patients with oral hygiene instruction and giving them the necessary tools to regain a healthy smile and continued oral health. Along with working as a hygienist, I love the outdoors and enjoy spending time with family.

They told me I could no longer be a patient there because I missed 2 appointments. I have been a patient there for 11 years, obviously they don't have any loyalty to any of their patients. I was told by the rude receptionist that they can't make profit if I don't come to my appointment. I told her to do the math that they would make more profit if they wasn't about to lose a family of 4 for kicking me out for missing 2 appointments in 11 years. Probably a good thing she isn't the accountant.

Horrible.... receptionist rude and not very knowledgeable. I try to support my kind but how can I if the service is horrible. Called another dentist they knew exactly what I needed and set up my appointment asap. I contacted Burns Dental 3x and could never get any answers to my concerns

Burns dental is one of the most pathetic excuses for a dental office you can imagine. The main dentist is always in a huge rush and will give you maybe a cursory exam if you're lucky. Also, she told me I could let an abscess remain untreated while I saved up for a root canal. This is potentially life threatening. Avoid this place if you can.

Don't have words for as poorly run this place is. Made an apt showed up and no one was even at the office. Come to find out their was a death in the family but I guess phones don't work and my job isn't as important as theirs. Made a 2nd apt cuz this place can't be that bad right? Wrong left work once again to go to my apt that supposedly wasn't on their schedule and they did not even try to fit me in or say sorry just told me it was my fault. This place is not worth your time or effort and those who do not own up to their mistakes will never improve. Stay far far away.
