GENERAL DENTAL CARE

Fillings & Crowns

General dental care includes restorative procedures such as tooth-colored fillings and natural looking crowns to correct cavities, cracked and chipped teeth, or worn-out and old fillings.  The dental team at McCleery Dental will determine exactly what you need to repair and strengthen your teeth through long-lasting, tooth-colored fillings and porcelain crowns to help protect sensitive teeth and discreetly fix your dental complications.

Bridges and Dentures

Bridges or dentures may be the solution, if you have permanently absent teeth. Dental bridges are cemented into place to replace one or several consecutive missing teeth; dentures, on the other hand, are removable and replace some of your teeth (partial dentures) or all of your teeth (full dentures). Bridges and dentures offered by McCleery Dental are a custom made, durable, restorative dentistry option crafted to look and function just like your real teeth.  The dental team at McCleery Dental will evaluate your unique needs to determine whether a bridge or dentures would be the right fit for you.

Air Abrasion (Drill-less Drill)

Thanks to advances in general dentistry tools you no longer need to avoid the dentist or fear the drill.  The team at McCleery Dental is pleased to provide air abrasion, also known as a “drill-less” drill.

Air abrasion technology combines air and fine sand to remove decay or cavities in their earliest stage of development found in smaller areas of the mouth, making it a great option for children.  In many cases it can also eliminate the need for anesthesia.

Root Canals

If you’ve been suffering from a toothache, sensitivity to hot and cold, oral pain that is keeping you awake you at night, swelling of the gums, or a darkening of a tooth, you may need a root canal. Root canals are used to save teeth that have become severely decayed, infected or even abscessed. The dental team at McCleery Dental performs root canals with the utmost care, using a local anesthetic and nitrous oxide to help you relax during a root canal; and is always available for any other general dental care procedure. Call McCleery Dental at 541-389-2905 today to find out if a root canal is the right treatment option for you.

Oral Surgery

Oral surgery is typically necessary if you have an enamel erosion, root tips showing, a tooth that cannot be restored with traditional procedures, or unhealthy periodontal areas. If find yourself suffering from facial pain, jaw problems or wisdom tooth pain, call our office immediately at 541-389-2905 for an evaluation to see if you need oral surgery.  Dr. McCleery has the ability to perform skilled oral surgery when it is necessary.

Sleep Apnea and Snoring

Mild to moderate sleep apnea and snoring can be relieved by using an oral appliance designed to expand the lower jaw and open the airway to reduce or  eliminate snoring. These minimally invasive oral appliances are available to Dr. McCleery’s patients, and can be very effective for the common conditions of sleep apnea and snoring.

Nitrous Oxide

The team at McCleery Dental offers nitrous oxide to provide our patients with a comfortable experience during any dental procedure. The use of nitrous oxide is a nice option for those patients who are apprehensive about dental treatment. Nitrous oxide is a safe and effective sedative agent helping you to feel calm and comfortable.  The effects begin to fade away as soon as the mask is removed and the gas is no longer being inhaled.
