For nearly four decades, World Class Dentistry has set the standard for personalized care in Sarasota. Founded by accredited cosmetic dentist Dr. Jill Morris and her husband, dental surgeon Dr. Burr Bakke, the family-run practice has built its reputation on trust, artistry, and innovation—qualities that are increasingly rare in today’s world of corporate-owned dentistry. Patients come not just for beautiful, lasting results, but for the sense of continuity and care that only a dedicated, independent team can provide.
Now, that legacy of excellence continues as Dr. Morris’s children join the practice, each bringing their own expertise and passion for patient-centered care. “The power of two has become the power of family,” says Dr. Morris. “We support one another in every decision, and we’re always collaborating. Although we each have our own specialties, we’re united by the same goal: to do what’s best for every patient,” she adds.
Their son, Dr. Cameron Johnson, focuses on biological dentistry and early airway development, guiding healthy growth for children and adults alike. Dr. Sydney Johnson, a holistic dentist, explores the vital connection between oral health and whole-body wellness. Kelton Johnson oversees the on-site lab, crafting custom restorations, veneers, and crowns—often the same day.
Together with Dr. Bakke’s expertise in surgical and neuromuscular dentistry, the team offers patients the advantage of comprehensive care in one place. Every step of treatment, from consultation to lab fabrication, happens under the same roof, ensuring precision, collaboration, and accountability.
In an era when more than seventy percent of dental practices are owned by corporations, World Class Dentistry remains proudly independent. “Corporate dentistry answers to stockholders,” Dr. Morris explains. “We answer to our patients. Our recommendations are the same ones we’d make for ourselves or our loved ones.”
That philosophy, which is rooted in family values, artistry, and excellence, has earned World Class Dentistry generational trust. “I still see patients who first came to me 38 years ago,” says Dr. Morris. “That continuity matters. We get to see what works, refine what we do, and grow right alongside the people we care for.”
