Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  The earliest stages of gum disease can be conquered during a regular dental cleaning with Dr. McCartney and our Adel, GA, team. We'll gently remove plaque and tartar buildup along the base of your teeth before polishing them clean with a special rotary device.

Restorative

• Fillings
  Dental fillings can have both cosmetic and restorative benefits. Many patients have their old silver amalgam or gold fillings replaced with more discreet tooth-colored fillings. Once they have been placed, you can benefit from...
• Resin Composite
  A contouring procedure can also prevent the need for more invasive cosmetic treatments. Dental crowns and veneers address small teeth, but those treatments require removal of natural tooth structure. While less invasive treatments like dental bonding can lengthen the appearance of your teeth, the composite resin needs to be replaced every few years. Consequently, gum contouring is a longer-lasting solution.
• Veneers
  For patients suffering from minor imperfections such as chipped or cracked teeth, significant discoloration, or dental misalignment, Lumineers® offer a conservative solution to enhance your smile. At Adel Dental Associates in Adel, GA, Dr. Michael McCartney provides these ultra-thin, custom-made veneers to patients who are not ideal candidates for traditional veneers or who wish to avoid a more extensive procedure. This advanced technique requires less modification to your teeth than a porcelain veneer procedure, helping you to achieve a beautiful, natural-looking smile with reduced discomfort and treatment time.
• Crowns
  A traditional bridge is a cost-effective and minimally invasive approach to replacing one or more consecutive missing teeth. A traditional bridge is a popular choice for patients with natural teeth on both sides of the gap resulting from a missing tooth. Designed from durable, realistic-looking porcelain, this type of restoration consists of at least one pontic, or artificial tooth, nestled in between two dental crowns.
• Bridges
  At Adel Dental Associates, we can provide patients with a dental bridge to maintain the health of the teeth and gums.
• Dental Bonding
  Dental bonding may sound complex, but it is a relatively simple cosmetic procedure that Michael McCartney, Jr., DMD, FAGD can perform in just one visit to our Adel, GA, practice. Also referred to as composite bonding, it repairs the structure and appearance of teeth using the same resin material that is often used to fill cavities. This commonly performed procedure offers cosmetic solutions that can last anywhere from five to 10 years with proper care and maintenance.
• Restorative Dentistry
  If you have multiple smile concerns that concern your oral health, your bite, or the overall function of your mouth, consider full mouth reconstruction instead. This is the restorative dentistry equivalent of a smile makeover. We'll help determine which is the right approach to your needs.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Sometimes, a dental filling is not enough to repair the damage to your tooth. If you need more comprehensive restoration for your tooth after decay, trauma, or a root canal, Dr. Michael McCartney can design and place dental crowns at his office in Adel, GA. Made of porcelain or metal, these restorations completely cover the visible area of the tooth and provide both support and strength to a vulnerable tooth.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  In this procedure, also called a deep cleaning, a periodontist or dentist performs a deep cleaning below the gumline (scaling) to clear tartar from the roots of the teeth. They then smooth the tooth roots (root planing) to make it easier for healthy gum tissue to reattach.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  If you are missing most or all of your teeth, you could be a candidate for custom-made dentures at Adel Dental Associates. Dentures are removable dental appliances that restore the health, function, and beauty of your smile. At our practice in Adel, GA, Dr. Michael McCartney has over 20 years of experience placing dentures, and can create a fully personalized treatment plan to meet your specific needs.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Using just four dental implants placed at an angle to support a fixed full-arch replacement, Dr. Michael McCartney can rebuild your smile with the All-on-4® dental implants treatment concept. An excellent option for patients who do not qualify for traditional dental implants due to bone loss, the All-on-4 method has been gaining popularity since its first use in 1998. Skilled and knowledgeable in dental implant treatment, Dr. McCartney can help you determine if All-on-4 dental implants are right for you during a consultation at Adel Dental Associates in Adel, GA.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  The main benefit of gum contouring is a cosmetic one: Dr. McCartney can create a more symmetrical and attractive smile simply by removing small amounts of gum tissue. Although gum contouring is a form of oral surgery, it is considered a minor surgical procedure. Patients are often able to return to work the day after treatment. Furthermore, complications related to gum contouring are very rare.
• Tooth Extractions
  Patients with mild to moderate levels of decay are generally good candidates for dental fillings. A seriously infected tooth may need a more involved treatment or even tooth extraction.
• Bone Grafting
  Bone grafting material can be harvested from your own tissue, from a donor, or made from synthetic materials. Oftentimes, the type of bone necessary will depend on your specific situation.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Orthodontics is traditionally used to correct misalignment concerns, but this can be a long and uncomfortable process. If you have minor misalignment, veneers, Lumineers, or other aesthetic dentistry treatments can conceal your cosmetic concerns.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  A bright smile can help to create a confident first impression. However, over time, the food you eat can take a toll on the appearance of your teeth. Food and beverages such as coffee, colas, red wine, chocolate, and dark berries can stain the top layer of your teeth. In addition, tobacco use and smoking can cause discoloration. This type of staining is called extrinsic dental staining and can be reversed with dental whitening treatments.
• Cosmetic Dentistry
  Dr. McCartney combines his expertise in cosmetic dentistry with the advanced Lumineers solution to deliver superior results. If you suffer from minor dental imperfections and are ready to transform your smile, contact our office by calling (229) 896-7679 or filling out our online form.
