Porcelain Crowns & Bridges
ELLEN - Patient Since 2004
Ellen sustained a traumatic blow to her front teeth years ago requiring root canal therapy and crowns. When she and her family became patients, we discussed many new options and advances in cosmetic dentistry. Even the best porcelain fused to metal crowns of yesterday create dark lines by the gum and are no match for the newer all porcelain crowns of today. Our treatment plan included removal of old metal crowns, replacing them with advanced porcelain crowns that are translucent like natural teeth. We also chose to bleach the natural teeth and matched them with the new crowns for an overall bright and decidedly natural restoration completing a dazzling new smile that she loves!
"I appreciate the amazing customer service at McCarl Dental Group - it exceeds all expectations. It is an impeccably run office!! Love that I never have to wait. I love that if I have any emergency, I have complete confidence it will be handled promptly and personally! Can't beat that! I love that I can bring my kids and we can all have our appointments at the same time, no worries there, the kids LOVE it- this is especially great for the mother on the go!"
SHIRLEY - Patient Since 1960
Shirley is a third generation patient with the McCarl family. When Dr. James W. McCarl became the town dentist in Greenbelt in 1937, Shirley’s mother (7 years old at the time) was one of his first patients.
Shirley always wanted perfectly straight, white, beautiful teeth. After a smile analysis and smile make-over, minor crowding was corrected, the shapes of her teeth were improved and cracked teeth were strengthened. She got the "Hollywood smile" she dreamed of with porcelain crowns and veneers.
"I have plenty of good things to say about my dentist. I would tell someone that he has always taken me on emergencies, he listens, he is gentle, compassionate, patient and meticulous, and he is always in a good MOOD! I don't how he manages that part! He is a perfectionist as well as a very caring person. I would also say that when he did my teeth, he encouraged me to have a natural, yet, good, look. I do not look done or overdone. At our age, we should not look like we have HAD work; we should just look radiant and great. Also, because when our teeth are healthy, we feel good, are in better general health, and we just sparkle! I realize that as we age, the care that we have taken of our teeth becomes more and more paramount."
"Of course, I would say good things about all the dentists there as well as the most tremendous staff and hygienists ever!!"
SONJA - Patient Since 1960
Sonja’s parents were patients of the first generation Dr. McCarl, our grandfather. Her husband, sons, daughters, and grandsons were treated by a second generation Dr. McCarl, our father. Now she is with us in a third generation of McCarl dentistry. Treatment options and dental technology have really advanced in her lifetime. Her teeth were heavily filled and others were worn in the front. While improving her smile with porcelain crown technology we were also able to preserve and strengthen her teeth. Our families have laughed and smiled together for generations!
"I have been going to the McCarl Dental Group since around 1959 with the late Dr. McCarl Sr. When I came back to the area I think one of my brothers said, "You must go to Clayton McCarl". So I did and have been going ever since. My entire family goes to the McCarls. Now retired, I still make the trip from Western Howard County. I always recommended employees and friends."
"When I talk I am usually smiling. I can't say enough about how important my smile is to me. I even have strangers ask who takes care of my teeth. I always tell them about my wonderful dentist family - yes they are like family - so caring - the entire staff included."
CLAYTON
Dr. Clayton sustained a traumatic blow to his front teeth years ago requiring root canal therapy and crowns. Clayton’s brother, Dr. Jay replaced his "perfectly good" porcelain fused to metal crowns on his front teeth with all porcelain crowns and lightened the shade of Clayton’s smile. Even dentists need and deserve beautiful smiles.
"Even dentists need and deserve beautiful smiles."
NORM - Patient Since 2009
Norman came to McCarl Dental Group with many dental concerns, one of which was that he might have to lose his teeth and get dentures. We were able to restore Norman’s smile, and his facial profile to a more youthful and healthy place. He is a great guy, and extremely appreciative of the changes. Norman is the type of patient that makes dentistry so rewarding!
"I was having toothache after toothache, when a teacher suggested I go to McCarl Dentists. There I met an excellent group of people who all were a major part in one way or another, in helping me to get my toothache taken care of by finding the problem, fixing it and giving my teeth a makeover (if you will). Today I smile more. I am very pleased with McCarl Dentistry. Special thanks to Dr. J. McCarl."
Joani - Patient Since 2010
Joani’s career has taken her from helping people one on one, to small groups, to over a dozen television appearances. Her natural teeth were gray and did not respond to professional whitening. When an accident to her front teeth necessitated crowns, a previous dentist commented that the crowns matching her natural teeth were the greyest he had ever made. Joani’s smile was also set back in her mouth and hidden in a shadow cast by her face making her teeth appear even darker.
Joani chose McCarl Dental Group to help give her a smile appropriate for her career with the public. After in-depth review and consultation, Dr. McCarl recommended using a combination of porcelain crowns and veneers to whiten the color of her teeth and give them a fuller shape to bring them out of the shadows where they can be seen and appreciated by everyone she meets. Joani’s new smile is beautiful and natural and conveys warmth, confidence and success.
Joani Gammill RN and Board Certified Alcohol and Drug Interventionist, “My smile became increasingly important to me as I started to speak publically and appear on national TV shows. It was not just a matter a vanity; it became a necessity for career advancement. After doing the Dr. Phil Show over a dozen times, I had some of my own material pitched to different networks. I was flat out told, my work was great, but my teeth and smile were not up to their standard. Lucky for me the McCarl group and specifically Dr. Clayton McCarl, and his wife Lisa were much kinder when suggesting what I needed to improve my smile! After consulting with three dentists I choose the McCarl group to do my complete mouth restoration. My decision was based largely on Dr. McCarl. His knowledge and confidence about the process was evident from the beginning. Also his wife Lisa expertly informed me of the lab that they use for making the crowns. You can have a great dentist, but if the product they are using is inferior you are not getting the best result. Another factor in choosing the McCarl group was based on the price for the work. It was a fair and realistic price for the work to be done. I could not be happier with my smile. I get compliments all the time. My favorite and most heard compliment is “They look like your teeth.” That is exactly what I wanted, beautiful teeth that did not look fake. Thank you Dr. McCarl, Lisa McCarl and the great staff.”
