I became a patient of Dr. McCracken's when I was 6 months pregnant. Although I had always had dental care, my teeth kept breaking during the end of my pregnancy and I ended up seeing her every other week until I delivered. She was great about fitting me in around my schedule so that I could get everything taken care of before my baby was born. She is super friendly and extremely professional and I have referred all my family and friends to her. I have never liked going to the dentist, as most people do not, but having a dentist with a great attitude and extremely personable makes it much more enjoyable!

Dental Examination
In every operatory and patient exam room there are two mounted monitors. With our fully digital patient record management system, digital x-ray system
X-rays
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends a checkup and cleaning every six months. Many times, this is often covered at 100% by a patient’s insurance benefit. This is a routine visit that is scheduled for approximately 45-50 minutes. Once per year we will perform gum measurements to detect any potential deep periodontal pockets that may lead to periodontal disease, or infection. Also once per year we will update your records with bitewing x-rays (four x-rays) to diagnose any cavities or decay that hides between teeth. We use digital technology which reduces your exposure to radiation by 50-75% over traditional film, according to manufacturers. You may always elect to decline dental x-rays and we at Amazing Smiles will only use them when necessary for your health and evaluation. A dental cleaning is provided by a professional and should be performed every six months to prevent periodontal disease. If you have periodontal disease, you may be recommended for more frequent visits. Plaque left untreated can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay. A routine dental cleaning should include scaling, root planning and polishing. Cleanings were traditionally performed by scaling (the scratching noise you typically hear) by hand. However, new and advanced technology has led to more modern methods such as electric scalers or ultrasonics. This sophisticated tool allows dental cleanings to be performed more efficiently and in less time. To achieve best results, we MAY use both electric and manual scaling methods for your dental cleanings. Many times, since we are spending so much time looking at your teeth, we have some recommendations for your home care. Please understand that this is never a “lecture,” we just want to make sure you are educated to take care of your own mouth between visits. We encourage questions and open dialogue. Dr. McCracken will spend time with you checking over each tooth, existing fillings, crowns, dentures or other restorations in addition to an oral cancer screening. It is important that you mention any problems you may have had since your last visit. A tooth that persistently catches food, causes cold or “sweets” sensitivity or is painful when flossing may be an area that needs to be addressed. Also recurring ulcers, new bumps or a burning sensation may be a sign of a vitamin deficiency or an atypical reaction. We hope that you’ll let us know so we can best help you. Catching problems when they are small is much easier (and cheaper!) than when serious toothaches or lesions occur. We do all of these things; x-rays, photos, full diagnosis, to give you a total picture of your oral health. Many times the first visit is the longest between paperwork, x-rays and full evaluation. We will often try to give you options for dental restorations that first, give you the best long-term solution and will prevent future problems. However, we understand that budgets can be tight and we are eager to w
Oral Cancer Screening

Teeth Cleaning
Dr. Kelly McCracken and our highly trained staff can provide for simple dental needs like teeth cleaning to the most complex dental needs like oral surgery. We make your visit convenient, friendly, and comfortable by using the latest technology and methods in the field of dentistry.
Fluoride Treatment
Many insurance companies cover child preventative procedures like fluoride treatment <link> and sealants <link> at 100% coverage depending on your plan.
Dental Sealants
TeamSmile is another free dental event focused on the oral health of children. Dr. McCracken and her assistant, Jessica, have been to Arrowhead Stadium to treat children from urban areas who were bussed in for a fun day meeting Chiefs players and having comprehensive dental care including extractions, fillings and sealants. This one-day event helped 239 children and provided $124,449 worth of dental care.

Fillings
Resin Composite
The direct technique usually involves placing composite resin on the outside of the tooth using bonding. This method is usually referred to as bonding.
Veneers
Veneers are a dental procedure in which a covering is placed over the outside (visible area) of the tooth. Veneers are usually only done to the part of the teeth that are visible when talking or smiling. The procedure can be direct or indirect.
Crowns
We understand that toothaches pop up and they can be extremely painful! We want to help you as quickly as we can. Many times if you call before noon we can see you the same day. Sometimes toothaches occur from deep decay, cracked teeth, gum boils/abscesses, loose fillings/crowns or broken teeth.
Bridges
Crowns and bridges are used to restore and enhance teeth that are damaged, or to take the place of missing teeth. A crown, also referred to as a cap, is used to entirely cover a damaged tooth. A crown not only strengthens a tooth, but it can dramatically improve a tooth’s appearance, shape and alignment.
Dental Bonding
We can help smooth those rough edges, usually without any numbing or anesthetic. Enamel shaping recontours the outer “shell” of enamel giving a more youthful and smooth appearance. We can shave micrometers off; and we will advise you if we need to reduce (enamel shaping) or add to your teeth with composite bonding

Root Canal Treatment
A bridge is an ideal method to fill the space created by missing teeth. A bridge is one or more artificial teeth that are cemented into place using the teeth on either side for support, hence the name. This is an option for filling the space created by a missing tooth. A bridge replaces the missing tooth, both functionally and cosmetically. Bridge work is as much an art as it is an exact science. The materials used may be gold alloys, porcelain bonded to metal alloy, or all ceramic material made to match your natural tooth color.

Deep Cleaning
The gums, ligaments, and bone around the teeth form the foundation for one’s teeth. All structures are also referred to as the periodontium. When the periodontium is not healthy, it jeopardizes the teeth just as a bad foundation would threaten the stability of a house. Signs of unhealthy periodontium include: gums that are red and bleed easily, persistent bad breath, gums that are pulled away from the tooth, loose teeth, and changes in the position or bite of the teeth. Any of these may be a sign of a problem. With proper gum treatments, however, it may be possible to return gum tissue to a healthy state. If you’re having a problem, come in and see us so we may treat it right away. The treatment usually involves a deep cleaning or root planing done under a local anesthetic, along with local antibiotic agents. If the gum disease gets too severe it may need to be treated through surgery or extraction. This is why it is important to have it treated at the first sign of a problem.

Dentures

Dental Implants
A dental implant is an ideal tooth restoration for people who are missing one or more teeth as a result of injury, periodontal disease, or any other reason. A dental implant is a metal post that a periodontist or oral surgeon surgically positions into the jaw. Once in place and bone surrounding the implant has had time to heal, a replacement tooth is attached to the post. While implants are typically more expensive than other methods of tooth replacement, they provide superior benefits. Implants are stronger than natural teeth and generally last 10-20 years. They are also a more favorable approach than bridgework since they do not depend on neighboring teeth for support.

Orthodontics
Invisalign Orthodontics
The Invisalign System works begins by first creating a series of trays that will each moving your teeth gradually until the end result is achieved. At the end of each two-week period, you will switch trays. Throughout the process, you will visit your dentist every six weeks to ensure treatment is progressing as planned. Once your treatment is complete, you will likely wear a clear retainer to ensure your new smile stays in place.
Braces
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry encourages children to have their first dental visit at age one (12 months). While your infant may not have many teeth, we can assess if the number of teeth and jaw development is on track and coach you on the proper bedtime procedures and nutrition to protect your child’s oral health. Only a bottle with water should be given at bedtime and thumb sucking should cease by age three or an expensive orthodontic (braces) expense may be in the near future.

Teeth Whitening
Tooth whitening is a popular procedure to make teeth whiter and brighter, and therefore more attractive. Bleaching can be used to whitening stained and discolored teeth, or simply to enhance a dull smile. Tooth whitening is a safe and relatively painless procedure ideal for most patients. Our office offers two methods of whitening: in-office whitening and tray whitening.
