Cosmetic dentistry
Whitening, bonding, veneers, and cosmetic crowns when the patient asks for improvement.
Implant restorations
Restoring implants after surgical placement with crowns, bridges, or implant-supported dentures.

Referral boundary
What Dunning handles in-house, and what gets referred.
Most family dental care is completed in the Johnstown office. When a case requires a specialist, the office coordinates a referral with a trusted local provider so nothing gets lost between offices.
- In-house: exams, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, crowns, bridges, extractions, cosmetic work, dentures, and the restoration of dental implants after surgical placement.
- Referred to a specialist: surgical implant placement, orthodontics, complex root canals, oral surgery beyond routine extractions, and pediatric cases outside the practice's age or complexity policy.
The choice to refer is always about what protects the patient's outcome, not about the office schedule.

Emergency
Urgent dental concern?
For active tooth pain, swelling, a broken tooth, or a lost crown, call the office. The front desk will ask a few questions and help find the earliest appropriate opening. For difficulty breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, severe facial swelling, or trauma involving more than just teeth, go to the emergency department first.
