Emergencies
"I had used the same dentist for 25 years. When he retired, I went through 4 dental offices, and was not comfortable with any of them. Finally, in February of 2009, I found McCalla Dental.
"They are so professional, and always concerned for their patients' comfort and making sure we are happy with the way our smile looks.
"You never have to wait long for an appointment. As a matter of fact, two of the doctors even met me at the office on a Saturday afternoon to repair a broken tooth.
"Not only are they all wonderful dentists, they also give back in amazing ways to our community by donating services to help make money to restore historic sites. They give away dental services to people in the community from time to time. They care about their patients, their staff and their community.
"I love my dentists! And their dentistry is painfree."
– Vicki Kes
Mature Adult Dentistry
Dr. Wendy understands that your dental needs change as you grow older.
Expert, gentle dental care for the 55+
At McCalla Dental, we understand that as you get older, you may find that your teeth require extra care to maintain their health and viability. What is happening in your mouth can also have effects on your overall health.
Dr. Wendy enjoys helping mature patients with thorough, gentle dental treatment.
Dr. Wendy Poczatek enjoys working with our mature patients, to help them keep their teeth and bodies healthy and strong. She was trusted by not one but two retiring dentists to take over an established practice, and her patients are very appreciative of her knowledgeable care and calm demeanor.
Patient and understanding, Dr. Wendy is excellent when it comes to working with patients who find going to the dentist frightening or hard to face.
Complete dental care in a single, convenient office
Our dentists are also very experienced in dealing with the unique dental conditions that occur in a mature adult, and are especially able to cater to adults with complex dental problems. With four excellent dentists available, you can be sure that you will be able to get gentle, caring and ideal treatment, whatever your situation. We have helped thousands of patients with dental implants, crowns, dentures and full-mouth reconstruction so that they can live better lives with good oral health.
Come in for a Complimentary Consultation
Dr. Wendy will answer all of your questions about what dental treatment you need.
If you haven't been to the dentist in a while, or aren't certain what dental care you need, come in for a Complimentary Consultation with Dr. Wendy.
Losing your teeth is not necessarily "part of growing old." It is not natural for your teeth and gums to become diseased and unhealthy. Through excellent and thoughtful dental care this can be avoided.
If you would like to learn about preserving your smile or how we can restore your mouth to beauty and health, call us to schedule a complimentary consultation.

Do you have complex or major dental needs?
Many mature patients are in need of extensive dental work. Our office provides state-of-the-art treatment at affordable rates, all with the goal of helping you to preserve or restore your teeth and smile to full health and function.
In addition to Dr. Wendy, Dr. John and Dr. Ted, all of whom are highly trained and experienced general dentists, our office includes prosthodontist Dr. Holt Gray. A prosthodontist is a specialist who designs, constructs and fits crowns, bridges and complete and partial dentures to replace missing teeth and restore oral structure.
With over 30 years of combined experience, our dentists are very well-qualified to replace your missing teeth and repair your broken-down teeth. Some of the services that we provide especially for our mature patients are:
Helping you to keep your healthy smile
Dr. Wendy will check your blood pressure, and find out about your general health.
Our digital x-rays are comfortable, safe and thorough
Our cancer screening is done with a special light, and just takes a few minutes.
At McCalla Dental, we believe that keeping your teeth, and having a healthy smile, are very important. Losing your teeth doesn't have to be part of growing older - and Dr. Wendy will help you keep your teeth longer by keeping them healthy.
In your initial examination, we will take a complete medical history, check your blood pressure, and make sure that you aren't taking any medications that could interfere with your dental treatment.
Your initial examination will also include comfortable digital x-rays, so that we can see what is happening with your mouth.
We will also do a painless screening for oral cancer.
Once we've collected all of the necessary information, your dentist will meet with you and explain what treatment you need.
We'll be sure to fully explain all of your treatment options, and we will help you decide on a plan that meets your health and budgetary needs, as well as your lifestyle.

Patient Testimonials
"I have been a patient of Dr. Wendy's since she first took over the practices of retiring doctors Phillips and Pate. I admit, I was nervous about a young new dentist since I had been with Dr. Phillips since I was 16. He had been my dentist for 46 years!
"After he retired and I met Dr. Wendy, she won my confidence immediately with her warm smile, confident ways and her consideration and compassion for her patients. Her office staff as well as co-dentists are all friendly, competent and professional.
"With the birth of her second child, I often saw Dr. Gray. He was every bit all the traits I have attributed to Dr. Wendy.
"My mentally challenged cousin (I am her caregiver) loves to come here. Several other family members come here on my recommendation and have been very pleased!"
– Ruby Cheeks
"I used to be afraid of going to the dentist.
"I never used to smile for pictures because I was so self-conscious about my teeth. However, because I was so scared of the dentist, I never got them fixed.
"The staff at McCalla Dental changed my life. They made me feel comfortable and showed me what they could do to give me a great smile.
"I had eight veneers placed on my front teeth and whitened the rest of my teeth to match. The result is fantastic – and the procedure was completely painless.
"Now I smile all the time, and more importantly, I look forward to coming in for my next checkup."
– Janice Rosser
"My wife and I became patients of Dr. Gray when he was practicing in Leeds, and we've followed him to McCalla. My earlier dentist retired, and I was very happy to find Dr. Gray.
"We hit it off right away. He's very thorough, efficient, and personable. He helped me with implants. I was a patient for over a year, and it's great to have someone that you have complete confidence in.
"My teeth were loose before, and I couldn't eat many things. Now I have 7 implants, and I can eat everything, even corn on the cob and apples."
John Courson

Before and after photos
Case 1: Lower implant prosthesis
This patient's lower teeth were too compromised to save. To correct his situation, all the lower teeth were removed, and he had five implants placed. On top of his implants, we fabricated a "hybrid prosthesis" that screws tight and chews like natural teeth.

After
Case 2: Front implants
Sometimes a comprehensive treatment involves selective removal of teeth that are not worth the investment of repair. In this patient, we removed several front teeth and replaced them with implants.

After
Case 3: Severely Compromised Function – Full Mouth Rehabilitation
This patient presented with a variety of problems. Issues included broken crowns, worn teeth, cavities, periodontal disease, dental abscess, and missing teeth. After a full mouth reconstruction, he regained confidence in smiling and chewing. Additionally, the stabilized bite took pressure off his TMJ.
