About Dunkling & Penney

Dunkling & Penney is a dental practice on North Prospect Street in Burlington, Vermont. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth at the root, not just the crown — a small titanium post is placed in the jaw bone and, once it has integrated over a period of months, a replacement tooth is attached to it. It is generally the most durable option for a single missing tooth or several.

A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it.

A crown covers an entire damaged tooth — used when too much structure is missing for a filling to hold reliably, whether from a large fracture, extensive decay, or after root canal treatment. It restores both the shape and the biting strength of the tooth underneath.

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to crowns placed on the teeth either side of the gap, creating a fixed replacement rather than a removable one. It is a longstanding alternative to an implant, particularly when the neighbouring teeth already need crowns.

Professional teeth whitening uses a peroxide-based gel, applied under supervision at a strength stronger than anything sold over the counter, to lift years of staining from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. It works on natural enamel only — existing crowns, veneers, and fillings keep whatever shade they were made in.

Absolutely wonderful experience at the Burlington office. Every staff member I met was very friendly. Lynae at the front desk went above and beyond to fix an issue that frankly I had caused. Dr Cooper helped ease any anxiety and would give a heads up before any potentially painful portions of the exam. She had tons of great ideas for better care that fit my specific lifestyle! Overall, they are patient-forward and will take great care of you.

I’m a relatively new patient, yet my experience has been good thus far. I got my first crown ever, they did a really good job with the final product. The process was a little more painful than I would have liked but overall it was a positive encounter. Cleanings with Jodi are always great - thanks Jodi! Dr. Greg is direct and practical. He tells you like it is and does good work. The admin staff are capable and friendly, and make their processes quick and easy. The other staff I’ve met or worked with have been friendly and helpful. I’m satisfied with their services, out of pocket prices are high but seem reasonable compared to other dentists I’ve worked with. I would recommend Penney & Dunkling.

I have been very pleased with the care I have received. I originaly started with the with the office after losing a crown. They got me right in and worked with me on the insurance, as I had recently switched companies.The experience was very smooth and during the follow up cleaning it was discovered an old filling needed to be replaced. They checked with my insurance company informed me of the co-payment, about a month after the work I received what a bill for another 27 dollars, when I went by the office to pay it,( they have free parking) the very pleasant person at the desk told me that it was a credit. I was so used to bills being higher than expected, so I had not read the letter and just assumed I owed money. That was a nice surprise not only was the co-pay less than what my insurance company said it would be, but they notified me, and offered me a refund instead of just holding on to my money.

I’ve had nothing but wonderful experiences with both dentists (although I usually see Paul). Both are thoughtful, thorough and sensitive throughout any procedures. The hygienists are wonderful. Everyone in the practice is warm & friendly as well as professional. I always leave there feeling feel well cared for. I highly recommend them!

I went to their Burlington office a few weeks ago and was very impressed! They took me ON TIME (woohoo!) and were very thorough and professional. The front desk staff, dental assistant, hygienist and doctor were so nice and always allowed time for questions or concerns. At the end of the cleaning the doctor came in and did a thorough exam including a head and neck exam which I had never had done at another dental office and was pleasantly surprised by! Overall, a great experience. I’m glad I switched to Dunkling & Penney
