The Family Behind the World Class Smile

Dr. Jill Morris and Dr. Burr Bakke have been in private practice for more than 30 years. They have created World Class Dentistry and Facial Esthetics® in Sarasota, Florida, a facility that offers services including surgical implants, bone grafts, smile makeovers, non-surgical facelifts, and multiple facets of dentistry and facial esthetics eliminating the need to visit multiple locations to receive care.

Lasers, Cat Scans, and important technology are on site. Non-surgical facelifts are achieved through rebuilding the collapsed and worn teeth, midface and profile development through DNA nighttime appliances, as well as Botox and dermal fillers. Patients with sleep disorders also benefit from many of the procedures that Dr. Morris and Dr. Bakke perform. Those patients suffering from gum disease benefit from their non-surgical laser treatment. All general dentistry services are performed.

Both doctors have taught dentists from around the world neuromuscular full mouth rehabilitation at the world-renowned Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI). Their practice was featured in the book, How to Create an Exceptional Aesthetic Practice. Dr. Morris is one of only 350 dentists worldwide to achieve accreditation status with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Dr. Bakke has received his fellowship from the International Congress of Oral Implantology. Both Drs. Morris and Bakke received their fellowship with the International Academy of Dental Facial Esthetics.

Dr. Cameron Johnson, their son, joined the Surgical Implant Team at World Class Dentistry in the summer of 2020.

The uniting of their training in various fields of dentistry allows them to treat patients comprehensively for a better life and health. Dr. Morris’s was encouraged by her patients to master botox and dermal fillers because of her artistic eye and attention to detail. She is known for her natural lips, cheeks, and global sculpting of the face. This treatment can be combined with hygiene appointments or other dental procedures.
