I’ve been going to Dr. Kearney since I was about 5, I’m pretty sure my family was one of his first clients since we have been going there for 27 years now. His staff is always friendly and they are very clean I’ve never had a billing issue or service issue in the entirety of the time I’ve been going.

Our Practice's Specialties
Preventive dental care is a big part of Dr. Kearney's practice. We focus on helping you avoid issues like decay and bacterial infections that can lead to pain, the loss of teeth, and gum disease. Our comprehensive exams include oral cancer checks, thorough cleanings, and low radiation digital X-rays, all of which can keep your mouth and smile bright and healthy. Our general dentistry services also include treatments for TMJ disorder, sleep apnea, periodontal (gum) care, and root canal therapy.
Sometimes smiles need more complex treatments to reverse the effects of decay, injuries, disease, everyday wear, or other issues. Dr. Kearney is highly trained in restorative dentistry to repair or replace damaged teeth. He can create customized restorations such as crowns, bridges, and dentures to restore your full smile. These natural-looking restorations can bring back your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence if you are missing natural teeth, whether you're missing just one tooth or an entire arch.
Many parents in the Cary, NC, area bring their children to our dental practice so they can learn about the benefits of oral hygiene and experience advanced preventive care. Dr. Kearney offers customized palate expanders to our younger patients to aid in proper jaw development, as well as dental sealants to quickly and easily prevent future tooth decay. Invisalign® orthodontic treatment is available for older kids so they can have a straight-looking smile and proper bite functions.
Featured Dental Procedures
Sleep Apnea
Waking at night gasping for air is a telltale sign of sleep apnea. This condition is caused when throat muscles in your upper airway collapse during sleep. Sleep apnea can lead to headaches, snoring, daytime fatigue, mood swings, and heart disease. Dr. Kearney works closely with a local sleep specialist who can administer an at-home sleep test and diagnose sleep apnea (North Carolina requires take-home sleep tests be overseen by a sleep doctor). If sleep apnea is diagnosed, Dr. Kearney can treat mild cases with a customized mouth guard to realign the jaw and keep your airway open.
TMJ Disorder
Your temporomandibular joints (TMJs) connect your jaws to your skull. These joints, and the muscles, tendons, and nerves around them, help us chew, yawn, talk, and move our jaws from side to side. Inflammation or damage to the TMJs can cause your jaw to lock, as well as headaches, jaw, neck, and facial pain, and popping and clicking in the jaw. Dr. Kearney has 15 years of experience treating TMJ issues with nonsurgical treatments like mouth guards, injections, electrical stimulation, and laser therapy.
Invisalign
Crooked or misaligned teeth can affect the way you look, eat, and speak. Dr. Kearney offers clear plastic Invisalign® aligners to create a straight and healthy smile. This type of orthodontic treatment works by gently shifting your teeth into proper alignment. Patients switch to a new set of custom aligners every two weeks. Many of our patients prefer Invisalign aligners to traditional metal braces because they are more discreet and comfortable. And unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed when you eat and when it is time to brush and floss.
Porcelain Veneers
Even a minor flaw can mar an otherwise stunning smile. Porcelain veneers can improve the appearance of teeth that have chips, cracks, stains, gaps, and minor misalignment. Veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells that fit over the front of a tooth, concealing imperfections to create a stunning smile. Your veneers will be custom-designed out of high-quality porcelain that has been color-matched to your smile for a lifelike, natural appearance. Porcelain veneer treatment can be completed in just two visits to our Cary, NC, dental practice.
