About James Burden, DMD
As a kid, I loved science, and I was always taking something apart or putting something back together. My grandfather was a dentist, and at a young age, I began to like the idea of being a dentist because it allowed me to create and fix things with my hands. I completed my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at Temple University in 1999, where I learned traditional dentistry techniques. I finished my hospital-based general practice residency at the Virtua Health System in New Jersey in 2000. While taking a two-day course entitled Air Abrasive MicroDentistry, my approach to dentistry completely changed. I then began diagnosing and treating dental disease and opened my first solo microdentistry practice, New Paradigm Dentistry, in 2001.
