- Dental ExaminationRegular dental checkups and periodontal examinations are important for maintaining your health and the health of your smile. You don't have to lose teeth to periodontal disease, and by practicing good oral hygiene at home, you can significantly reduce your chances of ever getting gum disease. Remember to brush regularly, clean between your teeth, eat a balanced diet, and schedule regular dental visits to help keep your smile healthy.
- Teeth CleaningAfter your checkup and teeth cleaning is complete, the doctor will meet with you to discuss your X-rays, help you create your own individual treatment plan, and answer any questions you may have.
- Fluoride Treatment
- Dental SealantsYour child should visit the dentist every six months for regular dental cleanings and checkups. Tooth sealants are recommended because they “seal” the deep grooves in your child’s teeth, preventing decay from forming in these hard-to-reach areas. We use air abrasion to clean the deep pits and grooves before bonding. Sealants last for several years but will be monitored at your child's regular checkups.
- FillingsThe general health and safety of our patients is our greatest concern. New research has found that mercury contributes to over 100 health issues, including heart disease, autism, chronic fatigue, MS, allergies, depression, memory loss and anxiety. Dr. McGuire does not place mercury fillings and observes mercury-safe protocol when removing mercury amalgam fillings, dramatically reducing exposure to mercury vapors during dental procedures. We follow the protocol established by the International Association of Oral Medicine and Toxicology( www.iaomt.org ).
- VeneersYou no longer need to hide your smile because of gaps, chips, stains, or misshapen teeth. With veneers, you can easily correct your teeth’s imperfections to help you have a more confident, beautiful smile. Veneers are natural in appearance and are a perfect option for patients wanting to make minor adjustments to the look and feel of their smile.
- CrownsDentists can create customized fittings of crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and other dental restorations using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM). Through the CAD/CAM technology, your dentist can provide you with the most precise restorations possible.
- Bridges
- Dental BondingBonding is a conservative way to repair slightly chipped, discolored, or crooked teeth. During dental bonding, a white filling is placed onto your tooth to improve its appearance. The filling “bonds” with your teeth, and because it comes in a variety of tooth-colored shades, it closely matches the appearance of your natural teeth.
- Restorative Dentistry
- Root Canal TreatmentMedical oxygen/ozone is a mixture of pure oxygen and pure ozone. Medical ozone has highly pronounced anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties, and is thus widely used in disinfecting wounds, as well as bacterially and virally induced disease states. There are many uses for oxygen/ozone therapy in dentistry, such as treatment of TMJ/TMD, periodontal disease, root canals, and restoration of dental caries. Ask us if it’s right for you!

Our practice provides personalized denture services that meet the needs and comfort levels of our patients. All of our patients are unique and we create one-of-a-kind dentures that feel good and look natural.
- Dental ImplantsPeople are living longer than ever, and while regular brushing, flossing, and checkups allow many of us to maintain our natural smiles for a lifetime, sometimes our teeth just can't keep up. If you've lost a tooth (or a few teeth) due to injury or disease, dental implants can rejuvenate both your smile and your oral health.

- Gum Surgery
- Bone GraftingAutogenous Bone Grafting: Occasionally, the ideal areas for dental implants do not have sufficient bone quantity to support the implants. In these cases, it is often necessary to “borrow” bone from another area of your mouth and graft it into the deficient area. Often, the area of choice is from the chin or in the back of the jaw where your wisdom teeth used to be.
- Orthodontics
- BracesYes! In fact, it's even more important that patients receiving orthodontic treatment visit their dentist regularly. With braces, food may be caught in places that your toothbrush can't reach. This causes bacteria to build up and can lead to cavities, gingivitis, and gum disease. Your dentist will work closely with your orthodontist to make sure that your teeth stay clean and healthy while wearing braces.
- Teeth WhiteningThere are many products and techniques available for patients who want to achieve a brighter smile, and with so many options available, it can be difficult to choose the method that is right for you. The best way to begin any teeth-whitening regimen is to schedule an appointment and talk to your doctor about the differences between in-office professional whitening and at-home whitening.
