🌟🦷 Staff Spotlight: Welcome, Dr. K! 🦷🌟

We are excited to officially welcome Dr. Kierstin Shahtout to the McRae Dental family this month!

Dr. K is a skilled and compassionate dentist who is dedicated to providing exceptional, patient-centered care. She earned her DDS from the University of Iowa College of Dentistry and went on to complete a General Practice Residency at the VA Salt Lake City Health Care System. During her residency, she received advanced training in comprehensive dentistry, oral surgery, and implant dentistry, allowing her to provide a wide range of high-quality care to her patients.

And for those who may be wondering—yes, Dr. K offers IV sedation just like Dr. McRae! Whether you’re nervous about treatment or undergoing a more involved procedure, you can feel confident knowing you’re in experienced and caring hands.

Outside of the office, Dr. K enjoys spending time with her husband, Justin, hiking, and getting lost in a good book.

We are beyond thrilled to have Dr. K join our team and help continue our mission of providing our patients with nothing short of the very best care. Her knowledge, kindness, and commitment to excellence make her a perfect fit for the McRae Dental family, and we know our patients are going to love her!

✨ Please join us in giving Dr. K a warm welcome!

✈️🦷 A few members of our team recently traveled to Toronto to attend an Invisalign educational meeting and continue expanding our knowledge and skills in orthodontic treatment. We are committed to staying up to date with the latest advancements so we can provide the highest level of care for our patients.

At McRae Dental, we take a comprehensive approach to orthodontics. In addition to Invisalign treatment, we are airway-focused and evaluate how proper jaw development, breathing, and expansion can impact overall oral health and long-term treatment success.

If you’ve been considering orthodontic treatment, wanting a straighter smile, or are curious whether expansion or airway-focused care could benefit you or your child, we’d love to help! Schedule a consultation with our team to discuss your goals and explore your treatment options.

✨ We’re excited to help you achieve a healthy, confident smile that lasts a lifetime.

📞 Contact our office today to schedule your orthodontic consultation.

💙🦷 Staff Spotlight: Marjorie 🦷💙

It is with both gratitude and heavy hearts that we share that our wonderful hygienist, Marjorie, will be leaving McRae Dental in July as her family relocates for her husband’s military service.

While we are incredibly sad to see her go, we are so thankful for the many years she has dedicated to our patients, our team, and our office. Marjorie has been so much more than an exceptional hygienist—she has been a friend, a teammate, and a bright light in our practice every single day.

Her clinical skills are outstanding, and she consistently provides thorough, compassionate care while helping patients feel comfortable and cared for. She has a gift for building relationships, calming anxieties, and making everyone feel welcome the moment they sit in her chair. Whether she’s educating patients, helping a teammate, or stepping in wherever she’s needed, Marjorie always goes above and beyond.

Around our office, we affectionately think of Marjorie as our “golden retriever”—always positive, always kind, always excited to help, and always bringing joy to those around her. Her warm smile, contagious laughter, and genuine heart have left a lasting impact on our team and patients alike.

Marjorie, thank you for your dedication, your friendship, and the countless lives you’ve touched during your time with us. We will miss you more than words can express, but we are excited for this next chapter for you and your family.

Please join us in wishing Marjorie the very best as she begins this new adventure. 💙✨

You will always be part of the McRae Dental family. 🦷💕

“PIVOTTTTT!” 🛋️😂➡️🚗

Us carefully navigating our sleepy sedation patient out to the car after surgery like it’s an episode of Friends 🤍🦷

Don’t worry — we’ve got you every step of the way, from treatment to recovery. Sedation days may feel a little loopy for patients… but we make comfort and care the priority 😌✨

(And yes, sometimes that includes trying not to laugh while wheeling you to the car 😂)

Behind the scenes at McRae Dental 🎬😂
Dr. McRae practicing the deep “doctor voice” he wishes he had… meanwhile we’re all trying to keep it together behind the camera 💀🦷
Good news: the fake voice isn’t real.
Better news: the dental skills are 😌✨
We like to keep things professional for our patients… but there’s never a dull moment around here 🤍

When should you replace your toothbrush? 🪥🦷

A good rule of thumb: every 3 months — or sooner if the bristles start looking frayed.

Worn out bristles don’t clean your teeth as effectively and can be harder on your gums. If your toothbrush looks like it’s been through a battle… it’s probably time 😅

You should also replace your toothbrush:
✔️ After being sick
✔️ If the bristles are bent or flattened
✔️ After dropping it somewhere questionable 👀

And yes… your hygienist CAN tell when it’s been way too long 😂

Healthy smile starts with the basics 💕

Free samples? We’re there.
New dental gadgets? Add to cart.
Learning about products we already love and new things we want to bring back to patients? Absolutely. ✨

Nothing makes dental girls happier than shiny instruments, new technology, and enough tote bags to last the whole year 💅

Titanium vs. Zirconia implants — which is better? 🦷

At McRae Dental, we believe treatment should be customized to the patient — not based on trends.

Titanium implants have decades of research behind them and continue to be the gold standard for most implant cases due to their:
✔️ Long-term success rates
✔️ Strength and durability
✔️ Excellent bone integration
✔️ Predictable healing and stability

This is why titanium is our preferred implant material in the majority of cases.

However, zirconia implants can still be a great option in certain situations. Some patients prefer a metal-free restoration, have specific esthetic concerns, or may benefit from zirconia depending on tissue type and case selection.

The most important part of implant dentistry isn’t just the material — it’s proper diagnosis, planning, bone support, airway considerations, and long-term function.

That’s why we use advanced CT imaging and personalized treatment planning to determine what’s best for each individual patient. 🤍

No one-size-fits-all dentistry here.

One of the best parts of the California Dental Convention? Getting to meet so many amazing vendors and seeing the newest technology, products, and innovations in dentistry firsthand 🦷✨

It’s been exciting to see how many things we already use and implement at McRae Dental — because Dr. McRae is always striving to give patients the highest level of care possible. 👏

But we also love learning about what MORE we can bring back to our patients, from advanced technology to better patient comfort and treatment options. Dentistry is always evolving, and we’re committed to continuing to grow right along with it 🤍

We can’t wait to bring new ideas home!
