- Dental ExaminationYour first visit is not only about our team getting to know you, but also about you getting to know our team. In the time we spend together, we encourage you to ask questions, express your concerns, and share with us anything you want us to know to help make your care as individual as you are. Most new patients can be seen at our office in Woodstock, GA for an exam and cleaning within 48 hours.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningEvery time we provide care, we're observing many different aspects of your overall health. Most people are surprised at the large amount of surface area that lines the mouth. While this lining repairs itself quickly, it is susceptible to changes that may require monitoring or further evaluation.
- Teeth CleaningBest dentist I have been to in a long time. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Dr. Bond does a great job explaining the work that needs to be done. I have had a couple of extractions and a teeth cleaning. Both procedures went very well. I also don't have insurance. They were able to work with me on the pricing. Overall, this is the best dentist office I have been to. I can't recommend them enough!
- Dental SealantsSealants give us a tool that can dramatically reduce the number of fillings placed in permanent teeth during critical stages of growth and development. On the chewing surface of molars, deep grooves reach into the center of the teeth. Under a microscope, these crevices might look like a deep canyon. In fact, most of them are narrower than a single toothbrush bristle but wide enough for bacteria to hide. It's easy to see how cavities can form in such a perfect hideout.
- Fillings
- VeneersVeneers display the ultimate in dental art and science, handcrafted and customized to fit your smile. Like a contact lens, these paper-thin pieces of porcelain bond to the outside of your natural teeth. But don't be fooled by the thin characteristics of this material. Many unique features can be incorporated into the ceramics, replicating any look you want to create.
- CrownsModern anesthetics provide powerful numbing for gentle removal of the inflamed nerve inside the tooth. The nerve canal undergoes disinfection and careful shaping, and a sealer fills the internal space. A filling or crown over the tooth helps return the tooth to its original condition.
- BridgesWhenever you cruise across a bridge over the water, you're being supported by the same principles that hold a dental bridge. Critical stabilization on each side helps bear the load, year after year. Teeth on either side of a space support a replacement tooth engineered from durable materials and glued into place. While this often serves for many years, the load-bearing teeth may deteriorate after thousands of chewing cycles. In some cases, this leads to more missing teeth.
- Restorative DentistryWe know it's not always easy for you to sort through the complicated possibilities. Our doctors’ background in restorative dentistry allow them to develop solutions for every scenario.
- Root Canal TreatmentA deep cavity can give bacteria access to the inner nerve bundle. A crack extending into the same region can create stress that will need additional care to relieve. In some cases, a significant infection may develop in your jaw without any symptoms at all. If our doctors determine that the nerve won't recover or infection is present, then root canal treatment may be suggested.
- DenturesDentures offer an affordable way to replace any number of missing teeth in your mouth. They have a long history of success and continue to earn a place in the list of options for rebuilding your smile.
- Dental ImplantsIf bone shrinks away around your teeth, it never grows back. In some cases, bone can be encouraged to fill in with grafting materials placed by our doctors. Every situation offers a different scenario, but more options than ever exist to promote bone repair in the jaw. For example, when a tooth needs removal a large hole then exists in the bone. While it will fill in naturally, the site tends to shrink, drawing bone away from the area. Grafting materials can be placed simply at the time of tooth removal to help preserve the bone. Grafts prove especially beneficial if you'd like to consider an implant-supported replacement in the future.
- Oral SurgeryMinor surgical procedures involving the teeth, gums and jaw bone may be needed to preserve or enhance long-term health. While our philosophy rests on maintaining teeth, each situation deserves consideration of all the factors involved. So when the discussion we have together leads to a surgical correction, our doctors will take every step necessary to ensure your comfort and safety.
- Tooth ExtractionsIn 30 years this is the best dentist I have been to. All staff and doctors are top notch. I can't believe how easy and painless my wisdom tooth extraction went. I wouldn't have procrastinated so long if I knew it would be this easy. Total class establishment all around. Highly recommend.
- Bone GraftingThe bone around your teeth is highly specialized and doesn't regenerate when it's lost. Your teeth rely on this bony foundation to remain stable and functional, and even small defects can compromise your ability to maintain a tooth. Sometimes we can repair these defects by adding bone grafting materials.
- OrthodonticsA variety of tooth and jaw issues open up the door to orthodontics in a growing child. Our doctors may point out that your child's baby teeth appear crowded, or the relationship between the jaws isn't ideal. While not generally the time for treatment, it may help you prepare for the possibility of future corrective care. As permanent teeth start to appear, usually around age 6, our doctors monitor the process further and helps you decide if early orthodontic treatment makes sense.

- BracesBraces might be considered a rite of passage for young people, much like getting a first driver's license. An array of wires, brackets, and springs provide combinations for numerous treatment scenarios. Sometimes clear brackets and tooth-colored wires can help hide the hardware, leading to an ideal outcome with minimal display during the process. Our doctors will help you explore the options and timing if braces fit your treatment scenario.
- Teeth WhiteningSometimes a new smile emerges from the simplest steps. Teeth whitening removes years of dingy stains from your teeth. Coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and chocolate dull white enamel surfaces. A brilliant boost along with some gentle polishing and reshaping of chipped, uneven edges can create an easy transformation. Simple and safe, most patients don't realize how much discoloration embeds into their teeth until they see a new shine emerge.
