Michelle Burson, DDS, MS

PROSTHODONTIST

I’m Dr. Michelle Burson. I am Iowan through and through. I grew up in Red Oak, IA in the southwest corner of the state. I attended the University of Northern Iowa and majored in Biology. After considering a few other professions, I realized that I wanted to work with people and loved science, so I pursued a career in dentistry. 

I attended the University of Iowa College of Dentistry and during this time found a love for treating complex dental issues. I also had my own implant complication where my original implant on my front tooth needed to be completely replaced. My dentist and surgeon taught me the importance of planning and attention to detail. I had a wonderful outcome, and I knew I wanted to do this for other people as well. All of these experiences lead me to Prosthodontics! 

I did my residency at the University of Iowa in Prosthodontics and honed my skills to help those that have been struggling with their teeth. I’m excited to be in the Iowa City community and ready to serve you! 

In my free time I like to play piano, exercise, watch tv and movies (I am always up for recommendations!), cook and more importantly eat! My husband and I enjoy traveling, walks, and trying new restaurants. We adopted our pup, Murphy, from the Muscatine Humane Society and we enjoy taking him on walks, hikes and swimming. 

I can’t wait to get to know you!
