- Dental ExaminationWe strongly recommend that young children, senior citizens, and everyone in-between attend at least two dental examinations and cleanings each year – that means paying our Hartwell dental team a visit every six months! During your check-up, our goal will be to fully understand the scope of your oral health needs with the help of a thorough visual review and X-rays. Dr. Lee will review each tooth, your gum tissue, your bite, any current restorations, and more before recommending potential services that are a good fit for your condition and personal goals.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningYou’re surely familiar with cavities and gum disease when it comes to common dental problems – but what about oral cancer? Oral cancer causes the death of one person every hour on average, and this happens because most cases aren’t properly diagnosed until they’ve already reached advanced, destructive stages. Thankfully, Dr. Lee has made oral cancer screenings an essential part of regular check-ups for patients from Elberton, GA and beyond. Our team will review your oral tissue for tell-tale symptoms, such as...
- Teeth Cleaning
- Fluoride TreatmentBeing able to help the youngest members of your family on the right path towards lifelong oral health means the world to our team! Dr. Lee welcomes children, and our team will always treat them with the patience and warmth they need to feel right at home. Gentle check-ups will reveal any potential developmental concerns as soon as they appear, and cleanings, dental sealants, fluoride treatments, and other services will provide their growing smiles with valuable support and protection.
- Dental SealantsThe deep chewing grooves on your premolars and molars can be magnets for food particles and decay-causing bacteria. What’s worse is that these areas can be difficult for younger patients to reach, leading to a rise in cavities. Thankfully, our team can help keep teeth safe and healthy with dental sealants. This plastic material is bonded to the tooth surfaces during a quick and comfortable procedure, effectively creating a barrier that keeps out trouble and leaves your smile healthier.
- FillingsMany older patients are surely familiar with the dark-colored amalgam fillings that were once very common when it came to treating cavities; in fact, your smile may still have a few in places. Today, Dr. Lee is proud to offer a much-improved alternative with tooth-colored materials. Made from composite resin, your new filling at Lee Dental Group will be shaded to match your natural enamel and precisely sculpted into place for a seamless addition. In addition to their cosmetic qualities, tooth-colored fillings also allow our team to preserve more of your remaining tooth structure and help you avoid the significant temperature sensitivity caused by dental metals.
- Resin CompositeDr. Lee will apply composite resin to the affected tooth and contour it into place to create a seamless addition that the patient is highly satisfied with. In most cases, this process will only require a single appointment, and the results should last for several years.
- VeneersWith porcelain veneers, patients who have various cosmetic needs can correct their smile all at once instead of undergoing multiple procedures. These restorations are designed to cover only the front surface of the affected teeth, hiding years of flaws behind a brand-new, beautiful appearance that looks and feels natural. Veneers are also more resistant against gradual staining than natural tooth enamel, which means you’ll be able to enjoy the improvements our team has created even longer!
- CrownsWhen patients are told that they’ll need a dental crown to correct advanced dental decay or a significant injury, most will start rearranging their schedules in their head to accommodate multiple, time-consuming appointments. At Lee Dental Group, we’re happy to let you know that we’ve transformed this process for the better with the revolutionary power of CEREC! This advanced technology alleviates the inconvenience you once faced with the traditional crown process and replaces it with a smooth, streamlined experience that only requires a single appointment here in Hartwell, GA. Dr. Michael Lee welcomes new patients from Royston, GA and other surrounding areas – contact us today to schedule your first appointment with our team.
- BridgesDental crowns can also be vital components of dental implant and root canal therapy procedures, restoring the natural shape and strength of the treated tooth. Additionally, they’re used in conjunction with dental bridges, which replace multiple, consecutive missing teeth in a row for patients who’d like a sturdier reconstructive option than traditional dentures.
- Dental BondingDirect bonding (also known as cosmetic bonding) is a common and cost-effective solution for several minor appearance-based dental flaws, including the following...
- Restorative Dentistry
- Root Canal TreatmentPatients from Lavonia, GA and surrounding areas who are suffering from badly damaged/decayed teeth may be able to preserve their natural smile with the help of root canal therapy. This procedure involves the removal of diseased pulp from the inner portion of the suffering tooth; Dr. Lee will then replace it with a safe, biocompatible material before sealing the area and restoring its natural shape and strength with a custom dental crown. Extraction isn’t the only option!
- Deep Cleaning
- DenturesIf you’ve lost a significant number of teeth and are in need of a reliable, cost-effective replacement, a custom-made denture from Dr. Lee could be the right choice for you. Our practice offers both traditional full and partial prosthetics (designed to be removable for separate storage and cleaning) and implant-retained models for added permanence and stability. We can help you determine which option is right for your needs and budget during your initial appointment here in Hartwell.
- Dental ImplantsAfter Dr. Lee has determined that you’re a viable candidate for the dental implant process, he will refer you to a trusted oral surgeon in the area who can perform the surgical placement of your new implants. During this procedure, the “roots” of your replacement teeth are inserted into the jawbone so that they bond with your natural tissue.
- Oral Surgery
- Tooth Extractions
- OrthodonticsOur office has also partnered with CareCredit to provide patient financing. You can apply online at CareCredit or ask us about CareCredit at your next visit.

- Invisalign Orthodontics
- BracesOrthodontic treatment improves more than your beautiful smile – it can actually lead to better oral health overall.

Contact our Hartwell, GA practice today to schedule your first appointment with Dr. Michael Lee, or if you have any questions. We look forward to welcoming you!
