Restoring good health and beauty to the mouth can be accomplished using the of state-of-the-art cosmetic and restorative techniques we offer. Some of the many services offered at our practice are:

Cosmetic Dentistry
Teeth whitening or straightening, filling gaps, lengthening worn or short teeth, replacing dark fillings. We make all of these transformations possible with the latest cosmetic solutions, using tooth colored fillings, crowns and veneers. Many of these procedures can be done in only one or two appointments!

Teeth whitening
Brite Smile treatment allows you to have beautiful whiter teeth in about an hour in our office, without shots, drilling or any dental work. It's safe and it's a permanent change, not just a surface coating.

Implants
These artificial tooth roots are incredible! They allow replacement of missing teeth without dentures or bridges attached to natural teeth. They actually support replacement teeth better than natural roots because they can't get cavities and are very solid in the jaw.

Drill-less Dentistry and Sealants to Prevent Tooth Decay
Cavities often start in grooves of back teeth and most can now be prevented with good oral hygiene and sealants. We use a LASER Cavity Detector to accurately check tooth grooves for decay. A mild stream of air and powder cleans out the stain and decay before a thin layer of tough white resin filling material is flowed into the grooves to seal them. Adults and children can now often avoid the cycle of filled, refilled and crowned teeth if early stains and decay are treated with this conservative method.

Family Dentistry
A child's first visit (and every visit) to the dentist should be a happy experience, beginning a lifetime of great dental health. With regular checkups and motivated parents, modern preventive methods can help avoid cavities, drilling, gum infection and bite problems that previous generations thought were unavoidable.

Single-Visit CEREC Crowns and White Fillings
Silver fillings are obsolete and you can have natural-looking, stronger replacements that look better, feel better and work better than the old ones. For most crowns, one visit is all you need to have a CEREC crown or inlay that looks and feels natural. It's made in our office from a block of tooth-colored ceramic material with the help of CAD-CAM computer technology.

Veneers
These thin ceramic shells make front teeth whiter and straighter where they are worn, cracked, stained or crooked.

Prevention and Detection of Gum Disease
Gum disease is one of the most widespread and undetected diseases in the United States and has been proven to contribute to heart disease and many other infections. Infected gums allow millions of bacteria to enter your bloodstream and travel all through your body. A thorough gum exam is the only way to accurately evaluate gum health. This includes measurement of the spaces between gums and teeth, where infection starts, and noting where they bleed (a sure sign of infection).

Clenching/Grinding Management
The Silicon Valley high-pressure lifestyle has caused an epidemic of destructive tooth grinding and clenching. At as early an age as 20 or 30, worn, cracked teeth and painful gums can make you look and feel much older and shorten the life of your teeth. If you have teeth visibly worn or cracked, or sensitive to cold, biting, heat, sweet, or touch, you are probably clenching or grinding your teeth without knowing it. There is simple preventive treatment for this that can reduce pain and future dental repairs!

Oral Cancer Screening can be done in minutes during your visit to Dr. McBirney using ViziLite, the latest technology for spotting mouth cancer using a simple mouth rinse and special light source. Check it out at
