Welcome to
McGrath Dental Caring

At the beginning of my dental career, I focused on improving the techniques and skills acquired in dental school. Over time, I noticed that many of my patients, including my wife, were experiencing problems connected with their dental visits. The odors and materials associated with dentistry were making them "sick." Reports of being "sick" ranged from a few annoying hours to weeks in bed.

In searching for an answer to these problems, I developed a new approach to dental materials. With the recent advances in dental materials, it is now possible for you to have fillings, inlays/onlays, crowns and bridges that are both nickel and mercury free. Natural, life-like porcelains can be used to avoid the appearance of metal showing at the gumline. The cosmetic result is exceptional.

As a senior researcher with the National Institute of Dental Research in the 1960s, Dr. Paul Keyes developed the concept of anti-infective gum therapy. This basic philosophy assumes that since periodontal diseases are bacterial infections, the best results will be obtained from treating them as such.

I advocate microscopic identification of pathogens, non-surgical gum treatments, and an aggressive home care program as necessary components of your wellness plan.

As a member of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, I subscribe to standards of care defined by evidence-based research and clinical studies. I have treated patients with multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS) and heavy-metal toxicity for many years. More importantly, I am committed to providing the same quality of dental care to all of my patients, including those with special sensitivities.
