Our dental care team makes sure that you are left smiling.

Endodontics/Root Canals

Endodontics is a specialty branch of general dental care. Dr. McMahan pays close attention to the health of your roots and gum tissue to check for inflammation or infection. If the problem persists, he may schedule a root canal to save your tooth. This procedure generally allows patients to return to normal activity the next day and discomfort following surgery is typically mild.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Our patients often see us for dental care designed to help improve their smiles. We offer our patients the options of porcelain crowns or veneers for damaged or stained teeth. If you have a crooked smile or are wanting brighter, whiter teeth, come see our dentist to discuss all the options we have available for you.

Implant Restoration

There are situations when a dental implant is necessary to serve as a replacement tooth for a missing or decayed tooth. Our implant restoration process provides a long-term solution for patients who wish to create a more seamless smile. With our dental implants, our aim is to make sure your replacement tooth goes unnoticed and becomes a permanent part of your smile.

Non-Surgical Periodontic

We want to keep our patients healthy and dental care is an important part of our patients’ well-being. When you come in for a teeth cleaning, this gives our dentist a chance to recommend preventative care that will keep your teeth sparkling white and gums healthy. We identify and diagnose periodontal disease when it exists and provide solutions for treatment.

Family Dentistry

Dr. McMahan’s office is a family owned and operated business. We have been serving the Ocean Beach community for 30 years. Many of our patients have become like family to us and we want each patient to feel comfortable and well taken care of whenever they walk through our office door. We provide dental care for the whole family, which is beneficial to patients because we can take care of everyone’s needs. Throughout the many years of service we have seen families grow up and add new members to the family.

Surgical Dentistry

If a tooth is damaged or decayed beyond repair, we take the proper steps to extract it. Our goal is to prevent the deteriorating health of a tooth, but each situation is different and sometimes tooth removal is the best option. While we do not perform wisdom teeth extractions, we are happy to refer you to a specialist that can take care of your needs before, during, and after the procedure.
