Having a healthy, bright, beautiful smile improves our appearance and allows us to smile with confidence. Although cosmetic procedures are usually elective, rather than essential, some treatments also provide restorative benefits. Thanks to the advances in modern cosmetic dentistry, in most cases, we are able to improve our smiles with simple, painless and surprisingly affordable treatments.
Having your teeth whitened is one of the easiest and safest ways to take years off your smile! Unsightly stains from food, beverages or tobacco use can be reduced or eliminated through our whitening process. Prior to whitening, you will receive a thorough exam to ensure that whitening alone will provide you with the results you're looking for.
Periodontal, or Gum, disease is a serious infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place and can destroy the jawbone. It is common but fairly preventable and typically caused by poor oral hygiene that allows plaque to build up on the teeth and harden, inflaming the gums which leads to tooth loss.
Scaling is a non-surgical deep cleaning around and below the gumline, all the way down to the bottom of the pocket, to remove plaque and tartar and any infection that may be developing or already present. Root Planing is the smoothing (or planing) of the roots to help the gums reattach to the teeth.

Very professional and knowledgeable staff. I never have a problem getting appointments made are being seen by the doctor even if it's an emergency case. It's more like more like family then it is a business. Very comfortable atmosphere and very friendly staff. McCracken will always be my go to when it comes to a Dentistry and Dr. Mark's work is amazing!

This is a tremendous practice in every sense of the word. The doctor (Mark) is a consultative practitioner, and is going to make me the best patient I can be. I say that in utmost seriousness. Taking the time to make sure I understand what is happening in my mouth, and telling me what I can do to optimize self-care makes me aware of the choices I have that will contribute to my long-term dental health. Thank you, Dr. Mark. Thank you McCracken staff.

Moved to the area and chose McCracken Dentistry after researching for a new dentist for our family. The office staff was obliging and friendly. The dentist was awesome, very professional, competent, and gentle. My husband was pleased with his brother. Very happy with our experience.

Love this practice. I see Dr Kirk and Krista. She does my cleanings and has never hurt me and both of them make the visit less nerve racking. That says a lot considering I used to be afraid to go to the dentist. Highly recommend them.

I love this practice! Been with them 35 years. Dr Mark is the best. He has a very gentle touch, proactive if dental problems arise, and very pleasant. Great combo for those with pain and/or sensitivity.

I highly recommend McCracken Family Dentistry. Dental work triggers my PTSD. Dr. Mark understands my condition and puts you at ease, talks you through what he is doing to make you feel safe and I never feel pain. I was getting a tooth impression for a crown and started having anxiety. The dental assistant reminded me to breathe and started tapping her foot to focus my attention so I could ground myself.

I will always remember her quick thinking and compassion for people with PTSD. Dr. Mark then cut back the next impression tray to better fit my mouth that helped me feel more comfortable. If you know someone who has dental fear issues I strongly recommend they become a patient at McCracken Family Dentistry.

I had a gum procedure yesterday at McCracken with Krista and the experience was actually enjoyable(first time ever at a dentist). She was professional, polite and personable and procedure itself went very smoothly. I am not even dreading my next appointment at the dentist (first time ever).

Dr Mark Mccracken was recommended to me by a loyal patient from the State College area of Pa. She moved from the Harrisburg area but did not want to change dentist. She said he is excellent. I totally agree. Professional kind and a superb dentist.! I give him 5 stars for his service and humanitarian kindly nature. Now to to staff.professional fun and easy to speak to. Very accommodating and efficient. I would encourage anyone friend or stranger to seek out dental care from Dr. McCracken.

My husband and I both see Dr. Kirk McCracken. He is friendly, knowledgeable, patient and very pleasant to visit with. When he couldn't find information about my last panoramic x-ray from my previous dentist, he said we would get one and write off the expense if my insurance wouldn't cover it. I also mentioned an issue with dry mouth being caused by a medication. He offered recommendations and really listened to understand what was going on. 10/10 would recommend!

I have strong anxiety about visiting the dentist and McCracken really alleviates that. The dentist is so kind and understanding as are all the staff. Also, they did my filling quickly and perfectly. I felt zero pain. Zero. They really are an excellent team! Highly recommend.
