We understand that oral health is essential to overall well-being. Our dental services in Clayton are designed to address all aspects of dental care for patients of all ages. From routine cleanings and exams to advanced restorative work, we tailor each treatment plan to the individual needs of our patients. Explore our wide range of services and see how Mooring Dental can help you achieve and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.
Routine dental exams and cleanings are the foundation of good oral health. At Mooring Dental, in most cases we recommend visiting us every six months for a professional cleaning and comprehensive exam. Regular dental cleanings help remove plaque and tartar, which can lead to cavities and gum disease if left untreated. During your check-up, Dr. Mooring will examine your teeth and gums using advanced diagnostic tools, ensuring that any potential issues are caught early.
Our preventive care includes:
+ Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), an advanced, minimally invasive dental cleaning technique that uses airflow, gentle polishing, and ultrasonic scaling to remove plaque and bacteria in hard-to-reach places.
+ Thorough dental cleanings by experienced dental hygienists.
+ Full oral exams to detect any early signs of cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, or other issues.
+ Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel and protect against decay.
+ Patient education to help maintain oral health between visits.
Gum disease is a common but serious condition that affects many adults. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and other complications. We offer periodontal deep cleanings, also known as scaling and root planing, to remove bacteria and plaque from below the gumline and promote healing. This essential treatment can help prevent gum disease from progressing, and we’ll work with you to maintain healthy gums through ongoing care.
Dental sealants offer a protective shield over the grooves of your back teeth, preventing decay by keeping out plaque and food. This quick and painless procedure is an effective preventive measure for children and adults alike.
Early detection is key to the successful treatment of oral cancer. During your routine check-up, we’ll perform a thorough screening for any signs of oral cancer. This quick, non-invasive procedure is an important part of maintaining your overall health.
No more waiting for weeks to get a crown! At Mooring Dental, we use CEREC technology to create custom-fitted ceramic crowns in just one visit. CEREC allows us to take precise digital impressions of your tooth, design a crown, and place it all in the same appointment. This means less time in the dental chair and a beautifully restored smile that’s durable and natural-looking.
Benefits of CEREC crowns:
+ Completed in a single visit.
+ No temporary crowns needed.
+ Perfectly matches your natural teeth.
+ Long-lasting and durable material.
Missing teeth can impact both your appearance and oral health. Dental implants offer a permanent solution, providing the stability and appearance of natural teeth. Implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they fuse with the bone to create a secure foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Dr. Mooring uses advanced 3D imaging to precisely plan the placement of each implant, ensuring optimal results.
Why choose dental implants?
+ Permanent replacement for missing teeth.
+ Restores natural function and appearance.
+ Helps preserve bone structure.
+ Supports crowns, bridges, or dentures.
When cavities need to be treated, we use tooth-colored, mercury-free composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Composite fillings are a durable and aesthetically pleasing option, providing strength while maintaining the natural look of your smile.
If you are missing teeth, dentures or partial dentures can restore your smile and improve your ability to eat and speak. Full dentures replace all the teeth in your upper or lower arch, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. At Mooring Dental, we customize each set of dentures to fit comfortably and look natural, helping you regain confidence in your smile.
When the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected or damaged, a root canal may be necessary to save the tooth. Root canal therapy involves removing the damaged pulp, cleaning the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further infection. This procedure can alleviate pain and help you avoid the need for an extraction.
Porcelain veneers are custom-made, thin shells that cover the front surface of your teeth. Veneers are an excellent solution for teeth that are chipped, stained, misaligned, or have gaps. With veneers, you can achieve a brighter, more uniform smile in just a few visits. Dr. Mooring will carefully craft each veneer to blend perfectly with your natural teeth, giving you a stunning smile makeover. Benefits of porcelain veneers: Corrects a wide range of cosmetic imperfections. Natural-looking and durable. Stain-resistant and long-lasting.
Cosmetic bonding is a simple and cost-effective way to repair minor imperfections in your smile, such as chips, gaps, or discoloration. During the bonding process, Dr. Mooring applies a tooth-colored resin to the affected area, which is then sculpted and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. This quick, minimally invasive procedure can dramatically enhance the appearance of your smile in just one visit, making it an ideal option for those looking to make subtle yet impactful improvements.
If your teeth are stained or discolored, our professional teeth whitening treatments can help restore your smile’s brightness. Unlike over-the-counter products, our in-office whitening provides faster, more noticeable results. In just one visit, you can enjoy a significantly whiter smile that looks natural and radiant.

Our digital X-rays reduce radiation exposure by up to 80% compared to traditional X-rays. They provide clear, detailed images, allowing for quicker and more accurate diagnoses.
With 3D digital scanning, we can create highly accurate digital impressions without the need for messy molds. This technology improves comfort and ensures a perfect fit for crowns, implants, and other dental restorations.
Our CEREC technology allows us to design, create, and place dental crowns on the same day — eliminating the need for temporary crowns and multiple visits.
