Your Dental Health

Periodontal Health

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, results from bacterial overgrowth and can lead to various issues, including: 

  • Soreness
  • Bleeding gums
  • Bad breath
  • Eventual bone loss around your teeth 

Our team offers comprehensive periodontal therapy, including scaling and root planing (deep cleanings), to remove stubborn tartar deposits and promote gum reattachment. Catching and treating gum disease early is crucial for preventing irreversible damage.

Restorations/Fillings

When cavities are detected, we gently remove the decayed areas and restore the tooth with a seamless, tooth-colored filling. Unlike old-fashioned silver/amalgam fillings, our modern composite resin fillings blend beautifully with your natural tooth enamel.

Extractions

In cases where a tooth is beyond repair due to a large cavity, fracture, or infection, extractions may be necessary. Dr. McAllister uses gentle numbing techniques and proven methods to perform simple and surgical extractions with maximum comfort. 

For added convenience, we offer bone grafts to strengthen your jaw and dental implants to replace missing teeth, highlighting our commitment to preserving oral health through preventive and restorative measures.
