A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth. Deep within each tooth is a space called the pulp chamber, which contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When this pulp becomes infected—due to decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental work—it can cause severe pain and sensitivity. At MK&C Dental in Kettering, OH, we perform root canals with advanced technology and a gentle touch—helping you feel better fast while preserving your healthy smile.

Wisdom teeth removal is a common oral surgery that involves extracting one or more of your third molars—these are the last set of teeth to emerge, typically between the ages of 17 and 25. Because they often lack enough room to grow in properly, wisdom teeth can become impacted (trapped under the gums), partially erupted, or grow in at an angle, causing pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth. At MK&C Dental in Kettering, OH, we provide gentle, precise wisdom teeth extractions using advanced technology and sedation options to ensure a safe, stress-free experience.

Tooth extraction is the professional removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure is typically recommended when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, infected, or causing crowding. Extractions can be simple (for visible teeth) or surgical (for broken, impacted, or hard-to-reach teeth). At MK&C Dental in Kettering, we use modern techniques and gentle care to ensure your extraction is as quick and comfortable as possible—helping you avoid future complications and maintain a healthy smile.

Dental fillings are used to treat cavities caused by tooth decay. After removing the decayed portion of the tooth, the space is filled with a durable material to restore your tooth’s strength and shape. At MK&C Dental in Kettering, OH, we use natural-looking, mercury-free composite fillings that match your tooth color—so your smile stays healthy and attractive.

A night guard is a specially designed dental appliance worn while you sleep to prevent teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching. At MK&C Dental in Kettering, OH, our custom night guards act as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, reducing the pressure on your jaw joint and helping to prevent long-term damage like enamel wear, cracked teeth, and TMJ symptoms. Unlike bulky, store-bought options, our night guards are tailored for a precise fit, providing maximum comfort and protection.
