Michele has been a valued member of Dr. Slaybaugh’s team since 2001 and brings over 30 years of dental experience to the practice. Known for her skill and knowledge as a dental assistant, Michele finds the greatest joy in seeing patients regain confidence through their restored smiles.

At Slaybaugh Dental Care, we’re not just focused on treating teeth. We’re here to take care of people. With decades of experience, advanced technology, and a compassionate team, we deliver personalized care that leads to lasting results. Whether you’re visiting for a routine checkup or a full smile restoration, your comfort and confidence are always our top priorities.
From routine checkups to advanced restorative treatments, we deliver gentle, high-quality care tailored to your unique needs. So you can smile brighter, feel confident, and enjoy lasting oral health.
Bonding is a quick, cost-effective procedure that uses tooth-colored resin to repair chipped, cracked, discolored, or misshapen teeth. It can also close small gaps and make teeth appear longer. This cosmetic solution is often completed in just one visit, restoring both function and natural beauty to your smile.
Crowns and bridges are fixed dental restorations used to replace or cover damaged or missing teeth. Crowns cap individual teeth, while bridges fill gaps between teeth using adjacent support. Unlike dentures, they are cemented in place and provide long-lasting strength, stability, and a natural look you can count on.
Cosmetic dentistry includes a range of treatments that enhance the appearance of your teeth and smile. Whether it’s whitening, reshaping, straightening, or repairing teeth, these procedures are tailored to improve color, symmetry, and alignment, boosting your confidence and helping you achieve a more radiant, youthful look.
Cosmetic fillings are tooth-colored restorations used to repair decayed or damaged teeth. Unlike silver fillings, they blend seamlessly with your natural tooth structure, offering both durability and aesthetic appeal. They’re a preferred choice for patients who want effective treatment without compromising the look of their smile.
Dentures and partials are removable dental appliances that replace missing teeth and restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently. Full dentures replace all teeth, while partials fill gaps around natural teeth. They are customized for comfort, support facial structure, and improve quality of life.
Tooth extraction is a procedure to remove a tooth that’s damaged beyond repair due to decay, trauma, or overcrowding. While it’s typically a last resort, extractions are sometimes necessary to protect oral health. We prioritize comfort and care to ensure your experience is as smooth and pain-free as possible.
Dental implant restorations involve placing a crown, bridge, or denture onto a titanium post that replaces a missing tooth root. Working closely with implant specialists, we complete your smile with lifelike restorations that look, feel, and function like natural teeth, restoring both confidence and oral health.
Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical deep cleaning procedure that treats gum disease. It removes plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline and smooths the tooth roots, helping gums reattach and reducing inflammation. This treatment prevents further damage to bone and supporting tissues of your teeth.
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. They seal deep grooves where food and bacteria collect, preventing cavities. Especially recommended for children and teens, sealants are a simple and effective way to keep teeth healthy for years.
Veneers are custom-made, wafer-thin shells crafted from porcelain or resin that are bonded to the front of teeth. They instantly improve tooth color, shape, size, and alignment, making them an ideal solution for enhancing your smile. Veneers offer natural-looking, long-lasting results with minimal tooth preparation.
Professional teeth whitening removes stains and discoloration from your teeth, brightening your smile by several shades. Our treatments are safe, effective, and tailored to your needs, whether done in-office or through custom take-home trays. Whitening is perfect for those with healthy teeth seeking a more radiant look.
Root canal therapy treats infected or damaged tooth pulp to save the natural tooth and relieve pain. The procedure involves cleaning, disinfecting, and sealing the root canals. With modern techniques, root canals are comfortable and highly successful, helping preserve your tooth’s function and structure for years.
We make dental care simple and stress-free with a clear, personalized process focused on your comfort and long-term wellness.

Based on 101 reviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my first visit. I like the way they care. j sheets2025-04-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Slaybaugh’s office team is efficient and friendly. Andi, the dental hygienist was gentle and thorough while cleaning my teeth. Dr. Slaybaugh suggested two crowns in the near future. I didn’t feel pressured by him and will get them after I save up, because my dental insurance covers very little. I highly recommend Dr.Slaybaugh for your dental care.

I was particularly impressed with Dr. Slaybaugh's ability to think outside the box when repairing a tooth that was part of a complex five-part bridge. Instead of opting for a more traditional, potentially invasive solution, he devised a clever, less disruptive approach. Michele's helpfulness and professionalism made the entire experience comfortable and stress-free. I highly recommend them both!
