Dr. McGrady understands that choosing the right dentist for your child is so important. Easing your child into the dental office and experience can make all the difference in trying to avoid dental anxiety that so many adults suffer from. We offer kids choices and slowly introduce new sounds and smells. We continually communicate with the parents, and when needed, consult with your pediatrician or orthodontist, to develop a plan that offers the best treatment for your child.
"But they are only baby teeth..."
Dr. McGrady hears this statement everyday. There are so many reasons to maintain your child's oral health. Primary teeth serve as guides for the eruption of permanent teeth, holding the space for the new teeth to erupt. Preserving this space can help reduce future orthodontic concerns.
Even more importantly, your child's primary teeth will be there for most of childhood, helping
History
Established in 2000.
At McGrady Dental Group, we offer many dental implant services. Dr. Spilotro has been practicing Periodontics and Implantology for more than 20 years. He and Dr. McGrady have practiced together for 15 of those years, collaborating and communicating to assure the best possible outcome for your dental implants.
Years ago, the best solution for replacing missing teeth was a partial or full denture, or to use adjacent, often healthy, teeth as anchors for bridges. Advancements in dental technology has led to the state-of-the-art treatment for missing teeth: dental implants.
Dental Implants Offer Several Benefits:
Convenient - Dental implants don't require soaking or cleaning. Just take care of them like your natural teeth.
Performance - Dental implants stay fixed in your mouth, reducing wear on other teeth. They also make eating and speaking easier.
Durable - With proper care, a dental implant can last a lifetime.
Meet the Business Owner: Dr. Jodi M.
Finishing Dental School at the University of Pittsburgh, I always planned on becoming a pediatric dentist but wanted to be a good dentist first. I wanted to improve my skills and be comfortable treating anyone, especially kids. I spent three years in Iowa studying hospital dentistry and obtaining extra training to help me treat children with special needs. I also received a Master's in Dental Public Health there, giving me a perspective on improving the oral health of a community, not just an individual.
While at Iowa, I met my husband, Michael Spilotro, who is a periodontist. Graduating from Iowa, we went looking for adventure in the wild west and settled into opportunities in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Between kids and jobs, and living in the beautiful mountains... 10 years we went by like nothing. I enjoyed my Family Practice but wanted more training to treat kids properly and to help reduce their fear and anxiety. We decided to move to San Diego and start a new practice.
