Meet the Shipley's Dental Care Dentists
Michelle Perez, DDS
Clayton McCarl, Jr., DDS
Jay McCarl, DDS, FAGD
You could say that Dr. Clayton has dentistry in his blood, but he learned to love it in his own way by watching his father and grandfather help people on a daily basis. And while Dr. Perez didn’t grow up in the profession, seeing how dentists connect with their patients and how dental care could improve a person’s health and appearance at the same time instantly drew her in. Together, they are more than happy to carry on our legacy of serving local families.





Transform Your Smile
If you’ve been hiding your smile due to chips, gaps, discoloration, or uneven teeth, a smile makeover may be exactly what you need. At Shipley's Dental Care in Millersville, MD, we combine cosmetic dentistry techniques like porcelain veneers, professional teeth whitening, and Invisalign®, to design a smile that enhances your appearance and reflects your personality.
A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth
Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance, they can also impact your bite, jaw health, and self-esteem. Dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement, offering the look, feel, and function of natural teeth.
Straighten Your Smile Without Braces
Looking for a discreet way to achieve a straighter smile? Invisalign® clear aligners are a modern alternative to metal braces that gently and effectively straighten teeth—without wires, brackets, or dietary restrictions.
Our experienced Invisalign® providers in Millersville, MD will assess your bite, discuss your goals, and design a customized plan using 3D imaging technology.
Protect Your Smile
Early signs of gum disease often go unnoticed—but SimplyPERIO® makes detection simple. This non-invasive saliva test screens for 16 key oral pathogens in under 30 seconds, helping connect oral health to whole-body wellness. Whether at home or in the office, SimplyPERIO® empowers proactive care with fast, accurate insights.
Care Beyond the Smile
At Shipley’s Dental Care in Millersville, MD, we believe oral health is a window to your overall wellness. Our whole health approach considers how conditions like gum disease, sleep apnea, and bite imbalances can impact heart health, diabetes, and even cognitive function. Through personalized diagnostics and preventive care, we help you achieve a healthier smile—and a healthier life.

A Little Love from Our Patients
The wonderful staff waited for me, stayed late, and took care of me in the best way possible, not just a temporary fix. I am forever grateful! Is it any wonder I’ve been a patient for 30 years? Thanks, Dr. Clayton, Sarah and other staff who went above and beyond. You are truly compassionate, caring professionals!”
