Dr. David J. Dear, DDS, MAGD

Among general-practice clinicians in Monroe County, Dr. David J. Dear, DDS, MAGD provides a focused alternative to multi-specialty clinics. Routine exams blend with interceptive orthodontics and minor oral surgery, all coordinated from a single suite. Patients needing a root canal, a simple extraction, or a child’s first fluoride treatment can schedule without leaving the building.

At 130 N Monroe St—a quiet stretch just off the square in Versailles—you’ll find the practice tucked between the town’s mid-century storefronts and newer bank buildings. Evening commuters on Highway 50 pass within a minute, while downtown residents walking dogs cut across the diagonal crosswalk. Parking gaps on the east side usually fill by 10 a.m., so circling the block once yields a spot.

Inside the white-brick storefront, digital panoramic imaging and intraoral cameras update every operatory. CEREC crowns can be designed and milled the same day, bypassing temporary restorations for busy professionals. Sleep-apnea appliances, mouthguards for nighttime clenchers, and whitening trays round out the restorative catalog.
