About

Dr. Matthew Burns is a Dentist practicing in Joliet, IL. I’m a general dentist with a specific interest in taking fantastic care of you and your teeth. I’m a family man and an Air Force reservist. There is no substitute for caring. It's what matters in marriage, parenthood, and profession. It's why I spent a year in a dental residency after graduating from dental school. It's why I have spent hundreds of hours on continuing education. And it's why I love being a dentist: because I care about my patients - their joys, their stories, their lives. Fixing teeth is just the icing on the cake. 

Its always been about the people.

  • How many years do partials last?

    That's a great question! For some patients, partials can last decades. I had an elderly gentleman once whose upper partial had lasted 50 years! The real determining factor is how stable the teeth are that hold the partial in place. If a partial is anchored on four teeth that end up getting cavities, crowns, or are extracted--that makes it very difficult to keep the same partial. So if the surrounding teeth stay healthy, and the patient doesn't damage their partial by dropping it--then a partial could easily last decades. READ MORE
