Meet our Doctors

Thanks for checking us out on our dental web page.  Just a note about me.  I have been practicing dentistry in Atascadero CA for almost 31 years.  I came out west in 1976 from the great state of Kansas to go to Loma Linda University School of Dentistry.  I met my wife Cheryl at LLU and we came to Atascadero in the summer of 1980 to get started and 30 years just flew by.  I've been a married guy for 32 to years.  Cheryl is a Dental Hygienist and worked in our office for 20 years before she retired.  I have two grown children, Cami Burbach who owns Academe Real Estate & Property Management here in Atascadero and George "Cody" Burbach who is the Captain of "Mas Fina" a commercial fishing boat out of Morro Bay.  My time away from the office, which seems to be very little, is spent in farming, riding around this great country on my Harley Davidson, and shooting clay targets with my shotgun.

I practice "Old School" dentistry with all the most modern dental equipment and training.  Continuing Education is a must in a dental practice in order to incorporate the great changes and improvements that are occurring in our field.  My associate Dr. Nolan Jangaard and I are in the business of quality dental work. This is not a "cosmetic dental spa" but a practice that strives to provide a quality approach to maintaining your healthy mouth and letting you "smile with confidence".  We believe that we truly work for you and have a low pressure approach to explaining the options you have for your care.  If you can tolerate "folksy stories from Kansas" I would very much like to provide your dental care.

Hey, thanks for checking out my profile.  Let me tell you a little about myself. As a local boy, raised in the north county and growing up in Templeton I could not wait to move back home to the Central Coast to practice dentistry. I attended college at the University of Southern California (Go Trojans!) and graduated with my degree in Biochemistry. I then stayed at USC for an additional four years to receive my Doctorate of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) in 2009. 

When I was eleven years old I decided I wanted to become a dentist. It was Dr. Burbach who had a huge influence on my decision as he was my family dentist growing up. I remember back in eighth grade, sitting in his chair and telling him one day I would get out of dental school, come back to town....and maybe he could work for me. Working and living in the north country has been a dream come true but it did take a lot of studying, perseverance, and many twenty hour work days while going throughout school. So far my sacrifices have turned out real well and I couldn't be happier. 

While away at USC I met my beautiful wife, Ashley, and married in April of 2009.  We are currently living in Templeton and are extremely excited for our first baby that we will greet this summer.
 
In my spare time I enjoy playing soccer and hanging out at the lake wakeboarding with my family.  I am also very passionate about missionary dental work. I have been very active throughout the years in serving in Baja California along side a variety of Christian medical and dental clinics.  Providing dentistry for those who have almost no access to dental care or education is a very rewarding part of my life.
 
I hope that I will have the chance to provide your dental care as well.  I, along with Dr. Burbach, practice a very conservative and quality guided approach to dental care and hope to be able to work with you to attain a healthy mouth, an attractive smile, and teeth that function well for chewing. Thanks for reading about me and I hope to meet you soon so I can learn a little bit about you too!
