DENTIST NEAR GLENPOOL

Dr. Mu Salayta

The founder of Elwood Avenue Dental, Dr. Mu Salayta opened the clinic in 2019 and has been making smiles brighter ever since. Between his warm personality and positive energy, he puts patients at ease from the moment they walk in the door. The son of a dentist, he learned the impact of excellent oral hygiene while watching his dad care for his own patients.

Dr. Salayta earned his bachelor’s degree at the University of Texas, and his master’s in biotechnology at Johns Hopkins University. He then earned his dental degree at the University of Southern California.

A regular student at Spear Education, Dr. Salayta has completed advanced studies in things like sedation and sleep dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, and Invisalign. He is a proud, active member of the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine just to name a few.

When not providing compassionate and gentle dental care to his patients, Dr. Salayta can be found with his wife Brigette and their daughter, Maya. He loves traveling to new places, and both playing and watching soccer!

Dr. Schuyler Pracht

Dr. Schuyler Pracht was raised with excellent oral health, thanks to her parents. However, although her dad is a dentist, and her mom a hygienist, it wasn’t until a dental mission trip where she got to assist her father that she knew she belonged in dentistry, too!

Dr. Pracht earned her bachelor's degree at Oklahoma State University, and her dental degree at the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry. Following graduation, she completed a one-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency, focusing on topics like sinus lifts, gingival grafts, and dental implant surgery. She is also a proud provider of BOTOX and dermal fillers, and an active member of the American Dental Association and Oklahoma Dental Association.

When she’s not treating patients, Dr. Pracht and her husband (a fellow dentist) enjoy spending time with their daughter and their dogs. Whenever they can, the family of avid outdoor enthusiasts’ head out into nature to go backpacking, hiking, wakeboarding, and when the weather permits, skiing.

Dr. Demi Renfro

It’s safe to say that Dr. Demi Renfro had an excellent example of how to be a good dentist growing up. After all, her own mother was a dentist, and as a child she spent many days observing her mom with patients, seeing firsthand how excellent oral health can improve one’s quality of life.

Dr. Renfro earned her undergraduate degree at Texas Christian University and her dental doctorate at the University of Oklahoma. Following graduation, she has taken numerous continuing education courses at prestigious organizations including the Engle Institute, where she focused on single implant placement. She also maintains memberships in the American Dental Association and the Oklahoma Dental Association.

When not protecting her patients’ smiles, Dr. Renfro enjoys spending time with her husband, a radiology resident at OSU, and their family. She has also discovered a newer interest, landscaping her yard!

I Need a Checkup & Cleaning

Biannual dental visits are crucial for several reasons, starting with the fact that they help us catch (and treat!) cavities in the early stages. So, if it has been more than six months since your last visit, it’s time to get your next appointment on the calendar! With convenient appointment times and our comfort menu, we aim to make each visit a pleasant one.

I Want to Enhance My Smile

Have you recently noticed that your pearly whites aren’t quite living up to their name? Maybe you’ve always wanted to fix a gap between your two front teeth. The good news is that we can create the straight, bright, and symmetrical smile that you’ve always wanted since we offer take-home teeth whitening, custom veneers, BOTOX®, and several other cosmetic dental treatments at our office.

I Have a Cavity/Broken Tooth

If you suspect that something is wrong because you’re experiencing dental sensitivity or discomfort, don’t wait – call our dental team near Glenpool right away. The sooner you do, the sooner we can complete a comprehensive oral exam, determine the root of the problem, and discuss your treatment options. Since our office is outfitted with the latest dental technology, like CEREC®, we can restore your healthy, pain-free smile quickly, too!

I Am Missing One or More Teeth

In addition to taking a toll on your oral health, tooth loss can make it difficult to smile confidently, chew properly, and enunciate clearly. Fortunately, we have a solution. In fact, we have three: dental bridges, dentures, and dental implants. So, whether you’re missing one tooth or an entire arch, you can trust us to restore your complete and confident smile.

I Want to Straighten My Smile

For decades, patients struggling with overcrowding, overbites, and other common bite problems had one choice: metal braces. Now, there is another option: Invisalign. Not only are the aligners discreet, but they are comfortable, they don’t come with dietary restrictions, and they often deliver the desired results in just 12-18 months. Want to learn more? Schedule a consultation at our dental office near Glenpool!

I Am Worried About Bleeding Gums

There are a lot of misconceptions about oral health, including that it’s normal for gums to bleed while flossing. The truth is that this is a common warning sign of gum disease, which is an oral health problem that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. So, don’t take the “wait and see” approach. Instead, call our dental team near Glenpool right away if you begin to experience anything abnormal.

I Am Nervous/Scared of the Dentist

Oftentimes, patients who struggle with dental-related anxiety assume there are only two options: white-knuckle their way through their appointments or avoid going to the dentist altogether. Fortunately, there is another one: sedation dentistry. We’re proud to offer both nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation, which ensures our patients in Glenpool don’t experience any nerves, stress, or worry in the treatment chair.

I Am in Pain & Needs Help

Whether you’re experiencing a dull, persistent ache or a sharp, stabbing pain when you chew, the next step is the same: call us. Over the phone, we will ask you a few questions about your symptoms in order to assess the urgency of the situation. Then, we will schedule an appointment accordingly and walk you through what to do in the meantime.
