Meet Dr. Michael McCleaster
A Perfectionist for Your Smile
Dr. McCleaster has been accused of being a perfectionist, and he’s okay with that! He refuses to cut corners because he understands that when you’re visiting a dentist, you’re choosing to invest in your oral health, and that’s a big deal. One that he respects by sticking to high standards, from quality materials to meticulous techniques. But these high standards don’t mean high stress. If it has been years since your last visit, you won’t find a lecture from him, only a warm welcome.

Get the Smile You’ve Always WantedTired of feeling self-conscious about your teeth? Dr. McCleaster can make noticeable imperfections disappear using a fully tailored treatment plan. From removing stains with teeth whitening to discreetly addressing misalignment with Clear Correct, we can make your dream smile a reality.
Rebuilding Strength and Confidence
Older fillings and cavities can weaken teeth over time, especially when the remaining tooth structure begins to fracture or break down. In this case, crowns were used to restore and protect the damaged teeth, while also improving the overall appearance of the smile. The result is a healthier-looking smile that feels stronger, more balanced, and naturally refreshed.
A Brighter, More Reliable Smile
An aging upper denture, darkened teeth, and older dental work can make a smile look worn and uneven. We refreshed this smile with a new upper denture in a brighter, more natural shade, along with custom crowns on the lower teeth and a partial denture to help replace missing areas. The result is a more complete smile designed to improve both appearance and everyday function.
A Straighter, Cleaner Finish
Lower front teeth can become crowded or misaligned, making the smile look uneven even when the teeth are otherwise healthy. This case used clear aligners to gently guide the teeth into a straighter position. The result is a cleaner, more aligned smile with a subtle treatment approach.
A Stable Smile After Years of Missing Teeth
After more than 20 years of living with missing teeth on the lower left side, this patient wanted to regain more than just the appearance of a complete smile. Missing teeth can affect how comfortably and efficiently you eat, especially when one side of the bite has been unsupported for so long. In this case, an implant bridge was used to replace the missing teeth and restore a stable chewing surface. The result is a more complete, functional smile designed to feel secure in everyday life.
Crowns + Veneers
Smiling had become difficult when aging crowns and uneven front teeth no longer matched the rest of the smile. With a carefully planned combination of crowns and veneers across the upper arch — paired with brightening of the lower teeth — the entire smile was rebuilt with proper symmetry, color, and proportion. If you’re living with old dentistry that no longer looks or feels right, we can restore your smile to the standard you deserve.
Six Veneers
Patchwork bonding and worn composites left the front teeth mismatched and dull, making it hard to feel confident in photos or conversation. By replacing those outdated restorations with six ceramic veneers designed for ideal shape and shade, the smile now looks natural, balanced, and dependable. If you’re frustrated with temporary fixes and want a long-lasting cosmetic solution, veneers may be the answer.
Four Veneers
Front teeth that didn’t match in size, color, or symmetry were standing in the way of a bright, polished smile. After whitening and placing four custom veneers on the upper front teeth, everything finally aligned — shade, shape, and overall harmony. If you’ve always felt something looks “off” when you smile, a small number of veneers can make a dramatic difference.
Clear Aligners + Whitening
Crowding and dark discoloration made it hard to feel comfortable showing teeth at all. With clear aligners to straighten the bite over time — followed by whitening — the transformation was striking top to bottom. If you want straighter, brighter teeth without traditional braces, aligner therapy paired with whitening can create a remarkable, natural-looking change.
