Our Comprehensive Dental Services

At John R McPherson Dental, we are committed to providing top-quality dental care tailored to meet the needs of each patient. Our comprehensive range of services ensures that you and your family receive the best care possible, from routine check-ups to advanced cosmetic and restorative treatments. Below, you’ll find an overview of the primary services we offer:

Cleanings

Routine dental cleanings are essential for maintaining optimal oral health. Our skilled dental hygienists perform thorough cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can’t eliminate. During your cleaning appointment, we will also polish your teeth to remove surface stains and leave your smile looking bright and fresh. We recommend scheduling a cleaning every six months to prevent dental issues and keep your teeth and gums healthy. More Information

Fillings

When cavities occur, prompt treatment is crucial to prevent further decay. We offer both composite (tooth-colored) and amalgam (silver-colored) fillings to restore your teeth’s integrity and function. Composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them ideal for visible areas, while amalgam fillings are known for their durability, making them suitable for back teeth where chewing forces are greatest. Dr. McPherson will help you choose the best filling option based on your specific needs and preferences. More Information

Extractions

While our goal is to preserve your natural teeth, there are situations where extraction is necessary. Common reasons for tooth extractions include severe decay, advanced gum disease, impacted wisdom teeth, and orthodontic concerns. Our team performs extractions with minimal discomfort, utilizing the latest techniques and sedation options to ensure your comfort. After the extraction, we provide detailed aftercare instructions and discuss options for replacing the extracted tooth if needed. More Information

Crowns, Bridges, and Veneers

Crowns: Dental crowns, or caps, are used to restore teeth that are broken, decayed, or weakened. Crowns provide strength and protection while matching the natural color of your teeth. They can also improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.

Bridges: A dental bridge is a false tooth that fills in the gap left by one or more missing teeth. Anchored by crowns on adjacent teeth, bridges restore functionality and prevent neighboring teeth from shifting, which helps maintain proper alignment and bite.

Veneers: Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They are ideal for improving the appearance of teeth that are stained, chipped, misaligned, or have gaps. Veneers provide a natural, aesthetically pleasing look and are a popular choice for smile makeovers. More Information

Teeth Whitening

Achieve a brighter, more radiant smile with our professional teeth whitening services. We offer both in-office and take-home options. Our in-office treatment uses Opalescence Boost for immediate results, perfect for special events like weddings or dates. For those who prefer at-home treatment, we provide custom-made trays with Opalescence gel and preloaded Opalescence GO trays. These options allow you to achieve noticeable results quickly and effectively, enhancing your smile’s appearance. More Information

Smile Makeover

A smile makeover involves a comprehensive approach to enhancing the overall appearance of your smile. During your free smile consultation, we will discuss your aesthetic goals and evaluate your dental health to create a personalized treatment plan. Our cosmetic options include teeth whitening, tooth-colored fillings, veneers, crowns, orthodontic considerations, and gingival sculpting. Whether you’re looking to correct minor imperfections or undergo a complete transformation, our smile makeover services are designed to give you the confident, beautiful smile you’ve always wanted.

Dental Exams and X-Rays

Regular dental exams are crucial for maintaining your oral health and detecting potential issues early. During your exam, Dr. McPherson will review your medical history, check for signs of tooth decay, cracks, or other damage, and assess your gum health. We also perform screenings for oral cancer and evaluate your bite for any signs of grinding or clenching. Existing restorations such as fillings and crowns are also checked to ensure they remain in good condition.

Diagnostic x-rays are an integral part of our dental exams, providing a detailed view of your teeth and supporting structures. We use digital radiography, which offers several benefits over traditional x-rays, including reduced radiation exposure and immediate image processing. Bitewing x-rays are taken annually to monitor for decay between the teeth, while panoramic x-rays are taken every five years to provide a comprehensive view of your entire mouth. More Information
