That place is Fabulous Smiles of Atlanta, led by Dr. Danielle Greene, a visionary dentist whose purpose extends far beyond perfecting teeth. Her work is about transformation—helping people rediscover their health, beauty, and joy. Dr. Greene’s journey began with a childhood dream and a deep love of science. She earned her Physics degree from Morgan State University before graduating from the University of Maryland Dental School, combining keen insight with compassion at every step. As a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Waikato in New Zealand, she gained global perspective on how wellness, culture, and community intertwine—an understanding that still guides her approach to care. More than two decades later, Dr. Greene has turned that vision into a practice that merges precision with purpose. Every smile she shapes reflects her belief that dentistry should be personal, empowering, and deeply human. Walk into Fabulous Smiles of Atlanta, and the difference is immediate. The modern, welcoming space feels more like a wellness retreat than a clinic. Patients are greeted by a warm team that listens and takes time to understand each individual’s needs. From the technology to the tone, everything is designed to make people feel safe, valued, and seen. Dr. Greene views a beautiful smile as a reflection of overall health, not just cosmetic appeal. Her holistic philosophy links oral wellness to the body’s full vitality. She looks beyond the surface, addressing underlying issues so that each transformation is lasting and true. Whether restoring function, easing pain, or refining aesthetics, she treats the whole person behind the smile. Her office offers a complete range of services—from preventive cleanings and advanced digital diagnostics to whitening, veneers, and full restorative care. Each procedure is customized, blending the science of dentistry with the artistry of design. The result is not simply a brighter smile but a renewed sense of confidence and self-expression. Yet Dr. Greene’s reach extends well beyond her practice walls. Believing that access to care is a right, not a privilege, she founded a grant-funded initiative providing dental services for seniors who might otherwise go without treatment. Through this program, she restores more than oral health—she restores dignity, comfort, and connection for elders across Atlanta. Ask her what inspires her most, and she’ll describe the moment a patient looks in the mirror and sees themselves anew—the joy, the tears, the laughter that follow. For Dr. Greene, that moment is proof that dentistry can heal both body and spirit. Today, Fabulous Smiles of Atlanta stands as a testament to dedication, compassion, and excellence. Guided by Dr. Greene’s belief that transformation begins with care, the practice continues to shape not only radiant smiles but stronger, healthier lives. In the hands of Dr. Danielle Greene, a smile is never just a smile—it’s confidence restored, wellness renewed, and a reminder that true beauty begins from within.

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions patients have about dentistry and oral health issues. If you have any other questions, or would like to schedule an appointment, we would love to hear from you. Several reasons can cause bad breath. Some of them include: Keeping a record of what you eat may help identify the cause of bad breath. Also, review your current medications, recent surgeries, or illnesses with you dentist. Bad breath (halitosis) can be an unpleasant and embarrassing condition. Many of us may not realize that we have bad breath, but everyone has it from time to time, especially in the morning. There are various reasons one may have bad breath, but in healthy people, the major reason is due to microbial deposits on the tongue, especially the back of the tongue. Some studies have shown that simply brushing the tongue reduced bad breath by as much as 70 percent. In most cases, your dentist can treat the cause of bad breath. If it is determined that your mouth is healthy, but bad breath is persistent, your dentist may refer you to your physician to determine the cause of the odor and an appropriate treatment plan. Brushing and flossing help control the plaque and bacteria that cause dental disease. Plaque is a film of food debris, bacteria, and saliva that sticks to the teeth and gums. The bacteria in plaque convert certain food particles into acids that cause tooth decay. Also, if plaque is not removed, it turns into calculus (tartar). If plaque and calculus are not removed, they begin to destroy the gums and bone, causing periodontal (gum) disease. Plaque formation and growth is continuous and can only be controlled by regular brushing, flossing, and the use of other dental aids. Over the years there has been some concern as to the safety of amalgam (silver) fillings. An amalgam is a blend of copper, silver, tin and zinc, bound by elemental mercury. Dentists have used this blended metal to fill teeth for more than 100 years. The controversy is due to claims that the exposure to the vapor and minute particles from the mercury can cause a variety of health problems.According to the American Dental Association (ADA), up to 76% of dentists use silver containing mercury to fill teeth. The ADA also states that silver fillings are safe and that studies have failed to find any link between silver containing mercury and any medical disorder.The general consensus is that amalgam (silver) fillings are safe. Along with the ADA’s position, the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization, the FDA, and others support the use of silver fillings as safe, durable, and cost effective. The U.S. Public Health Service says that the only reason not to use silver fillings is when a patient has an allergy to any component of this type of filling. The ADA has had fewer than 100 reported incidents of an allergy to components of silver fillings, and this is out of countless millions of silver fillings over the decades.Although studies indicate that there are no measurable health risks to patients who have silver fillings, we do know that mercury is a toxic material when we are exposed at high, unsafe levels. For instance, we have been warned to limit the consumption of certain types of fish that carry high levels of mercury in them. However, with respect to amalgam fillings, the ADA maintains that when the mercury combines with the other components of the filling, it becomes an inactive substance that is safe.There are numerous options to silver fillings, including composite (tooth-colored), porcelain, and gold fillings. We encourage you to discuss these options with your dentist so you can determine which is the best option for you. You should have your teeth checked and cleaned at least twice a year, though your dentist or dental hygienist may recommend more frequent visits. Regular dental exams and cleaning visits are essential in preventing dental problems and maintaining the health of your teeth and gums. At these visits, your teeth are cleaned and checked for cavities. Four out of five people have periodontal disease and don’t know it! Most people are not aware of it because the disease is usually painless in the early stages. Unlike tooth decay, which often causes discomfort, it is possible to have periodontal disease without noticeable symptoms. Having regular dental check-ups and periodontal examinations are very important and will help detect if periodontal problems exist. Brushing our teeth removes food particles, plaque, and bacteria from all tooth surfaces, except in between the teeth. Unfortunately, our toothbrush can’t reach these areas that are highly susceptible to decay and periodontal (gum) disease.Daily flossing is the best way to clean between the teeth and under the gumline. Flossing not only helps clean these spaces, it disrupts plaque colonies from building up, preventing damage to the gums, teeth, and bone. If you’re feeling somewhat self-conscious about your teeth, or just want to improve your smile, cosmetic dental treatments may be the answer to a more beautiful, confident smile.Cosmetic dentistry has become very popular in the last several years, not only due to the many advances in cosmetic dental procedures and materials available today, but also because patients are becoming more and more focused on improving their overall health. This includes dental prevention and having a healthier, whiter, more radiant smile.There are many cosmetic dental procedures available to improve your teeth and enhance your smile. Depending on your particular needs, cosmetic dental treatments can change your smile dramatically, from restoring a single tooth to having a full mouth make-over. Ask your dentist how you can improve the health and beauty of your smile with cosmetic dentistry.Thanks to the advances in modern dentistry, cosmetic treatments can make a difference in making your smile shine! Porcelain veneers are very thin shells of tooth-shaped porcelain that are individually crafted to cover the fronts of teeth. They are very durable and will not stain, making them a very popular solution for those seeking to restore or enhance the beauty of their smile.With little or no anesthesia, teeth are prepared by lightly buffing and shaping the front surface of the teeth to allow for the small thickness of veneers. The veneers are carefully fitted and bonded onto the tooth surface with special bonding cements and occasionally a specialized light may be used to harden and set the bond.Veneers are an excellent dental treatment that can dramatically improve your teeth and give you a natural, beautiful smile. Since teeth whitening has now become the number one aesthetic concern of many patients, there are many products and methods available to achieve a brighter smile.Professional teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel, and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile. Over-the-counter products are also available, but they are much less effective than professional treatments and may not be approved by the American Dental Association (ADA).It’s important to have your teeth evaluated by your dentist to determine if you’re a good candidate for bleaching. Occasionally, tetracycline and fluorosis stains are difficult to bleach and your dentist may offer other options, such as veneers or crowns to cover up such stains. Since teeth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is also important to evaluate replacement of any old fillings, crowns, etc. before bleaching begins. Once the bleaching is done, your dentist can match the new restorations to the shade of the newly whitened teeth.Since teeth whitening is not permanent, a touch-up may be needed every several years to keep your smile looking bright.

they are transferred to the lungs, where they are exhaled. - Poor oral hygiene habits – Food particles remaining in the mouth promote bacterial growth. - Periodontal (gum) disease – Colonies of bacteria and food debris residing under inflamed gums. - Dental cavities and improperly fitted dental appliances – May also contribute to bad breath. - Dry mouth (Xerostomia) – May be caused by certain medications, salivary gland problems, or continuous mouth breathing. - Tobacco products – Dry the mouth, causing bad breath. - Dieting – Certain chemicals called ketones are released in the breath as the body burns fat. - Dehydration, hunger, and missed meals – Drinking water and chewing food increases saliva flow and washes bacteria away. - Certain medical conditions and illnesses – Diabetes, liver and kidney problems, chronic sinus infections, bronchitis, and pneumonia are several conditions that may contribute to bad breath. - Practice good oral hygiene – Brush at least twice a day with an ADA approved fluoride toothpaste and toothbrush. Floss daily to remove food debris and plaque from in between the teeth and under the gumline. Brush or use a tongue scraper to clean the tongue and reach the back areas. Replace your toothbrush every 2 to 3 months. If you wear dentures or removable bridges, clean them thoroughly and place them back in your mouth in the morning. - See your dentist regularly – Get a check-up and cleaning at least twice a year. If you have or have had periodontal disease, your dentist will recommend more frequent visits. - Stop smoking/chewing tobacco – Ask your dentist what they recommend to help break the habit. - Drink water frequently – Water will help keep your mouth moist and wash away bacteria. - Use mouthwash/rinses – Some over-the-counter products only provide a temporary solution to mask unpleasant mouth odor. - Ask your dentist about antiseptic rinses that not only alleviate bad breath, but also kill the germs that cause the problem. --- ## URL: https://www.moderndentalatlanta.com/protected-collection-item ### Title: Protected Page ### Page ID: 8734342 ### Content: ###### [office@moderndentalga.com](mailto:office@moderndentalga.com) ###### [(404) 589-0900](tel:\(404\) 589-0900) ###### We are available for evening hours ###### Mon 8AM - 4PM ###### Tues & Wed 8AM - 5PM ###### Thurs 9AM - 5PM ###### Friday 8AM - 2PM ###### Sat Closed In order to view the page, please enter the password below: Modern Dental Atlanta, 545 Edgewood Avenue Atlanta, GA 30312 Copyright 2026 - Modern Dental Atlanta.

It fully encases the visible portion of your tooth or [dental implant](https://web.archive.org/web/20200202103719/http://www.moderndentalatlanta.com/implants). Once it is permanently bonded in place, only a Dentist or Specialist can remove it. With proper care and [good oral hygiene](https://web.archive.org/web/20200202103719/http://www.moderndentalatlanta.com/dental-hygiene), the life of a crown can range from 5 to 15 years. If a natural tooth-colored [porcelain crown](https://web.archive.org/web/20200202103719/http://www.moderndentalatlanta.com/crowns) is chosen, our CEREC® CAD/CAMtreatment gives patients a completed permanent crown in just one office visit. Other types of crowns require two office visits. Your Dentist will recommend the best type of crown for your dental restoration needs based on the chewing placement and structure of the tooth or implant that requires protection. There are three types of crowns. Each type has its own characteristics and qualities: Porcelain is attractive, strong, stable, and highly resistant to wear. It offers a high level of biocompatibility because it does not contain metal. A porcelain crown provides the best natural color match to the rest of your teeth and is an excellent choice for front teeth. The aesthetic quality of a porcelain crown requires that the Dentist be highly skilled in the use of CEREC® CAD/CAM technology. Metal offers strength and endurance. A metal crown may be recommended for back teeth where the forces of biting and chewing are the greatest. A metal crown rarely chips or breaks. In addition, it requires minimal removal of tooth structure. A gold or other high-noble metal crown offers biocompatibility. A base metal crown is often the least expensive treatment options; however, it lacks biocompatibility and may cause allergic reactions or gumline discoloration. Porcelain-fused-to-metal offers the benefits of a natural surface color that resembles the rest of your teeth and the strength of a metal substructure. While there are several advantages to selecting this type of crown, it requires the removal of more tooth structure than other types of crowns. This means that there is greater potential for patient discomfort during the treatment procedure. After a thorough exam of your teeth, gums and supporting bone structure, your Dentist will discuss treatment options with you and answer your questions. If the agreed upon-treatment is a dental crown, your Dentist will apply a local anesthetic to prepare your tooth or [dental implant](https://web.archive.org/web/20200202103719/http://www.moderndentalatlanta.com/implants). If the treatment of choice is a porcelain crown many treatment methods are available: After your tooth or dental implant has been prepared and shaped for a crown: We look forward to helping you achieve the smile of your dreams!

Full dentures replace most or all of your teeth, and partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth. Both types of dentures support facial muscles and lips, and keep them from sagging and receding which will make you look younger, improve speech, and improve your health by enabling you to eat properly Dentures are custom made in a dental laboratory from impressions taken of your mouth. With proper care and good oral hygiene, full dentures can last 5-10 years. Over a period of time as your mouth naturally changes shape, dentures need to be relined, remade, or rebased. (Rebasing a denture means a new base is created utilizing the teeth on your current denture). Full dentures may be prescribed by your Dentist if you have lost, or are about to lose, all of your teeth as a result of disease, decay, injury, or surgery. There are two main types of full dentures, conventional and immediate: After a thorough exam of your teeth, gums and supporting bone structure, your Dentist will discuss treatment options with you and answer your questions. If the agreed-upon treatment includes dentures, here's what to expect: Dentures and oral tissues must be checked annually. Damage to oral tissue can occur without any pain or other symptoms.

(If tooth extraction is required, several months of healing must take place before conventional dentures can be provided.) Conventional dentures can replace: - All of your teeth on your upper arch, lower arch, or both. - Most of your teeth. In this case, an over denture is fabricated to fit over one or more natural teeth or dental implants for support. - Immediate dentures are inserted in the patient's mouth as soon as any remaining teeth are removed. With immediate dentures, the wearer has teeth to use during the healing period. Oftentimes, denture wearers switch to conventional dentures when their gums have shrunk after the healing period. - It is common that some oral surgery may be required to prepare your mouth for full dentures. Sometimes teeth must be extracted or the bony ridge of your gum must be improved to provide your dentures with optimum stability. - A putty-like material is used to make an impression of your arch. Your dentures will be fabricated based on this impression. Sometimes a try-in appointment is required to fine tune the tooth color, shape, and to customize the fit. --- ## URL: https://www.moderndentalatlanta.com/gum-disease ### Title: Gum Disease ### Page ID: 8806660 ### Content: ## Gum Disease Overview ## People At-Risk ## About Periodontists ## Warning Signs ### CHANGES TO TEETH, BITE, OR DENTAL WORK ### CHANGES TO GUMS ### BAD MOUTH ODORS OR TASTES ### MOUTH SORES ## Periodontal Treatments ### NON-SURGICAL ### SURGICAL ### POCKET REDUCTION ### BONE REGENERATION ###### [office@moderndentalga.com](mailto:office@moderndentalga.com) ###### [(404) 589-0900](tel:\(404\) 589-0900) ###### We are available for evening hours ###### Mon 8AM - 4PM ###### Tues & Wed 8AM - 5PM ###### Thurs 9AM - 5PM ###### Friday 8AM - 2PM ###### Sat Closed Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection of the gums and tissues that support your teeth. It is caused most often by the build-up of plaque and tartar when teeth are not routinely brushed and flossed. Other contributors to this disease include medical issues such as diabetes and consuming too much sugary food or drinks. There are two major stages of periodontal disease: gingivitis and periodontis. Gingivitis affects only the gums. It is a mild form of periodontal disease, and if properly treated may be reversed. Left untreated, gingivitis turns into periodontis. During this more destructive disease stage, bacteria penetrate into the deeper pockets of tissue where bone and membrane support your teeth. Periodontis can lead to tooth loss and serious health problems. Research shows that 75% of Americans over the age of 40 have some type of gum disease which is the leading cause of adult tooth loss. It is possible to have periodontal disease and not know it because its symptoms are often painless. The best way to avoid or manage periodontal disease is by having good oral hygiene, and seeing your dentist for your routine dental checkups. In addition, the following types of prescription drugs may also increase the risk of periodontal disease. Talk with your Dentist if you are taking: Periodontists are qualified Dentists who have an additional three years of education and specialized training in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease. They also perform dental implant surgery and cosmetic periodontal procedures to help improve a smile. Your Periodontist will work closely with your Dentist to manage your oral health. Periodontal disease is considered "silent" because pain does not always accompany its warning signs. See your Dentist if you experience: There are many patient-specific variables involved with treating periodontal disease. Much depends upon the stage of infection and the amount of deterioration involving your gums, teeth, supporting tissues, and bone. After reviewing your x-rays and performing a thorough periodontal exam, your Periodontist will discuss non-surgical or surgical treatment options to you, answer your questions, and explain what to expect: The most well known type of non-surgical treatment is scaling and root planing. This under-the-gum procedure involves a careful removal of plaque and tarter from the tooth roots. During this procedure your roots are smoothed to expose and remove harmful bacteria. Root smoothing along with the practice of good oral hygiene can help prevent plaque from accumulating again. Periodontal surgery may be needed to eliminate bone infections or to regenerate lost bone. The most common surgical treatments include: During this procedure, a local anesthetic is applied The gum tissue is folded back to expose deeper tissues. Then, harmful bacteria are removed. Irregular surfaces of the damaged bone may need to be smoothed to expose otherwise hidden areas of bacteria before it is removed. Gum tissue is then closed and sutured in place. During this procedure, a local anesthetic is applied. gum tissue is folded back to expose deeper tissues. Then disease-causing bacteria are removed. Membranes, bone grafts, or tissue-stimulating proteins are used to encourage your body's natural ability to regenerate bone and tissue and reverse some of the damage of periodontal disease. Excess gum and bone tissues are then reshaped to expose more of the natural tooth. This can be done to one tooth to even out the gumline, or to several teeth to expose a natural, broad smile. Gum tissue is then closed and sutured in place. We look forward to helping you achieve the smile of your dreams!

For example, to: Oral Surgeons, also known as Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, are qualified Dentists who have completed an additional 4-6 years of surgical residencies. Their advanced education and training includes anesthesiology and the diagnosis and surgical treatment of defects, injuries, and diseases of the mouth, jaw, teeth, neck, gums, and other soft tissues of the head. An Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon will work closely with your Dentist to improve your oral health. Based on an examination or a dental treatment plan, your Dentist or Orthodontist may refer you to an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon for a consultation. Your Dentist may recommend that you or your child see an Oral Surgeon when: Your Orthodontist may recommend that you or your child have a consultative exam by an Oral Surgeon related to an orthodontic procedure if there is: After the application of anesthetic to the area, special tools are inserted between the tooth and gum that surrounds the tooth. The tooth is moved back and forth within its socket (the bone that encases the tooth's root) until it separates from the ligament that holds the tooth in place. Sometimes a tooth is cut into small pieces (sectioned) before it is removed. The method for removing an impacted tooth will depend on how many roots it has and its location under your gum. Patient sedation is often used in addition to the application of an anesthetic to the impacted area. A gum tissue flap is created to access bone tissue, and a small opening is made in the bone that covers the impacted tooth. The impacted tooth is then cut into small pieces (sectioned) and removed through the opening. The gum tissue flap is then repositioned and sutured in place. Third molars, also called wisdom teeth, are the last set of permanent teeth to erupt in a person's mouth and are the ones least needed for good dental health. Wisdom teeth can endanger a patient's dental health when: When your jaw is too small to accommodate normal wisdom teeth, gum or jaw discomfort and swelling often occur. In addition, there is a greater risk of developing [gum disease](https://web.archive.org/web/20200202103759/http://www.moderndentalatlanta.com/periodontics). Surgery to remove wisdom teeth is typically the best course of action. If a wisdom tooth has fully erupted through the gum, a standard tooth extraction is performed. If the tooth has not erupted through the gum, an impacted tooth extraction method is used. We look forward to helping you achieve the smile of your dreams!

Discuss it with your Dentist before you take action, especially if you have: The lifespan of whitened teeth can range from 4-12 months, depending on the type of treatment used and your consumption of food and drink that can easily stain teeth (such as blueberries, coffee, and tea). To keep your teeth their whitest without undergoing tooth whitening treatment, practice good oral hygiene. If your Dentist agrees that you are a candidate for tooth whitening, you can choose either an over-the-counter tooth whitening kit or a Dentist-supervised treatment. If using an over-the-counter whitening kit, choose one approved by the American Dental Association and follow the directions on its package. Store-bought kits require 7-30 days of consistent use for full effect. Individual results can vary. Dentist-supervised treatments provide greater tooth whitening results faster than store bought kits. Two types of treatment are available: After a thorough exam of your teeth, gums and supporting bone structure, your Dentist will tell you whether tooth whitening is a safe option for your smile. If the agreed-upon treatment is an in-office, Dentist-supervised treatment, your Clinician will: Your total tooth whitening treatment time is 45 minutes.

At Modern Dental Atlanta, she is recognized for her ability to combine gentle hands with a deeply intuitive approach to patient care. For Dr. Kelley, dentistry has never been simply a profession; it’s the pathway through which she fulfills her life’s purpose. She believes the smile is the truest reflection of health and steps to strengthen the norm with each patient, for life from the start for good. Dr. Kelley often shares that her greatest goal is to bring comfort, clarity, and confidence to the people she serves. She views the oral cavity as a gateway to overall health—a place where signs of systemic disease, infection, or imbalance can be detected and treated before they can impact the rest of the body. Her clinical focus includes health issues that address tooth structure, function, helping her patients understand how dental treatments can have a bigger role in their total health. Her caring nature and focus on details have made her a trusted figure for patients who require both aesthetic enhancement and truly supportive dental experience. A proud graduate of top institutions in Georgia, Dr. Kelley earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2012. Her academic background laid the groundwork for her interest in the biological and systemic aspects of oral health. After graduating, she began her journey in dentistry as a chairside assistant in a private practice in Metro Atlanta. Under seasoned mentorship, she developed strong technical skills and an early understanding of how exceptional patient care looks like in real time. Eager to broaden her perspective, Dr. Kelley spent the next year working as a highly motivated temporary assistant, supporting dental and surgical practices throughout Atlanta area. This exposure provided invaluable perspective, influenced her treatment philosophies, clinical standards, and patient care. She values the varied experiences she gained throughout her early career in dentistry—one she grounded in empathy, attention, thoughtful communication, and professional growth. With four years of hands-on experience under her belt as an assistant, Dr. Kelley then received her professional journey: she matriculated for her Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the prestigious Howard University College of Dentistry in Washington DC. Her training, steeped in medical clinical skills, strengthened her view of how dental care and good health are truly linked, and deepened her desire to return to Atlanta and provide care to the people who shaped her earliest experiences. She believes that dental care is most effective when doctors genuinely listen, encourage collaboration, and honor the individuality of each patient. Dr. Kelley takes time to understand each person's concerns, goals, lifestyle, and comfort level. Her patients describe her as attentive, reassuring, and exceptionally thorough—a dentist who always explains the “why” behind every recommendation and makes sure her patients feel empowered throughout their treatment. Whether you’re looking for preventive care, restorative treatment, or a provider who simply takes the time to truly care, Dr. Ahna Kelley is ready to welcome you. Schedule your appointment today—your smile, health, and peace of mind are in excellent hands. Modern Dental Atlanta, 545 Edgewood Avenue Atlanta, GA 30312 Copyright 2026 - Modern Dental Atlanta.

Artificial teeth are attached to gum-colored plastic bases. The bases are attached to a framework supported by abutments. There are two types of bridges: removable and fixed. Both can be constructed from gold alloys, non-precious alloys, porcelain, or a combination of materials. Porcelain bridges are often bonded to precious or non-precious metal. With proper care, the life of a bridge is 10-20 years. Typically, two office visits are required to prepare, complete, and fit a permanent bridge. Visit your Dentist if you have one or more missing teeth and experience any of these symptoms: Whether removable or fixed, a bridge is anchored in place by abutments. A removable bridge is detached by its wearer for daily cleaning and at bedtime. It is prescribed when: A fixed bridge provides greater stability than a removable bridge because it is permanently anchored to abutments by use of bonding or a [crown](https://web.archive.org/web/20200202103704/http://www.moderndentalatlanta.com/crowns). Only a Dentist or Specialist can remove it. Fixed bridges must be cleaned daily using dental floss and a specially made aid. After a thorough exam of your teeth, gums and supporting bone structure, your Dentist will discuss treatment options and answer your questions. If the agreed-upon treatment is a dental bridge, here's what to expect: We look forward to helping you achieve the smile of your dreams!

Early detection and treatment saves unnecessary discomfort, time, and money. The Academy of General Dentistry recommends checkups twice a year. Oral needs change with age and the condition of your teeth and gums. Your Dentist may recommend a checkup schedule that is more or less frequent than twice a year. During a visual exam, your Dentist will use an intraoral camera with sophisticated magnification and lighting to see all surface areas inside your mouth. You will be able to watch the real-time, tooth-by-tooth video exam on your chairside monitor. Your Dentist looks not only for cracked and decayed teeth, but also for growths and sores on the roof and floor of your mouth, tongue, lips, gums, and the mucous membranes that line your cheeks and gums. Then your Dentist will check the lymph nodes of your head, jaw, and neck for pain, tenderness, and flexibility. Healthy teeth require healthy gums. A gingival pocket exam determines the presence or risk of gum disease. Your teeth are cleaned using special instruments to remove plaque from above and below the gumline. Afterwards, your teeth are polished. Tooth polishing makes your teeth look and feel great. It also smoothes tooth surfaces so plaque is less likely to accumulate. The records of our patients' dental checkups, diagnostics, and treatments are kept electronically. Our patients benefit because our Dentist and Specialists have immediate, comprehensive access to medical histories as well as the results of previous and current exams, diagnostics, treatment plans, and progress reports. Electronic dental records improve patient safety and create clinical efficiencies that help reduce patient waiting time before and during appointments. The key to healthy teeth and gums is keeping plaque and food decay from building up in your mouth. Plaque and food decay attract harmful bacteria that cause [cavities](https://web.archive.org/web/20200202103724/http://www.moderndentalatlanta.com/fillings), [gum disease](https://web.archive.org/web/20200202103724/http://www.moderndentalatlanta.com/periodontics), and persistent bad breath. Your tongue attracts bacteria, too. During the normal process of eating, tiny fragments of food collect on your tongue. As these fragments decay, bacteria create a filmy white coating on the top of your tongue. Practice the four-step routine to keep plaque and harmful bacteria from building up in your mouth. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that a child's first visit to the Dentist be around age three unless any of these dental health risk factors exist: When your child's teeth begin to erupt, wipe them daily with a moist washcloth to remove tooth plaque. As s/he grows more teeth, use a soft child's toothbrush with non-fluoride toothpaste (like Baby OraGel) until s/he is able to spit out the toothpaste. When your child is ready to use fluoridated toothpaste, use only a small pea-size amount on the toothbrush. Swallowing too much fluoridated toothpaste can lead to staining of children's teeth(dental fluorosis). It's never too early to learn how to care for your teeth and gums.

We use digital x-rays that provide instant results and emit 90% less radiation. Your Dentist determines how often you need to have x-rays. - 3-D Imaging: Three-dimensional imaging technology determines the precise position and shape of each tooth. Your Dentist will determine whether the use of this technology is appropriate to aid the development of a dental treatment plan or to follow the progress of your dental treatment. - Gingival Pocket Exam: Healthy teeth require healthy gums. A gingival pocket exam determines the presence or risk of gum disease. - Each tooth sits inside a gingival pocket of gum tissue. Food debris and plaque naturally collect inside this pocket. - Daily tooth brushing and flossing remove food debris and plaque from the gingival pocket. If not removed, harmful bacteria penetrate the gumline and deepen the pocket. - As the depth of a gingival pocket increases, so does the risk of tooth damage and infection that leads to gum disease. - During your exam, a hand-held instrument is gently placed between gums and teeth (sulcus) to measure the depth of each pocket. - In its earliest stage, gum disease may be reversible.

If it is not treated promptly, pain or a tooth abscess results. Endodontic treatment is also known as a "root canal." Root canal treatment is completed in one or two office visits, depending on the presence of infection and the required treatment plan. After restoration, the tooth continues to function like any other tooth. With good oral hygiene, the restored tooth has the potential to last a lifetime. Endodontists are root canal specialists. They are qualified Dentists who have two additional years of education and specialized training in the care and treatment of tooth pulp and the inner parts of the tooth. If a root canal is required, a Dentist often refers the patient to an Endodontist for treatment. Your Endodontist will work closely with your Dentist to improve your oral health and restore your natural teeth. See your Dentist if you experience any of these symptoms: Sometimes an endodontic problem can exist without warning signs. In these cases, an x-ray taken during a routine dental checkup will reveal the tooth damage. Root canal treatment involves the removal of the diseased pulp along with the tooth's nerve (located within a tooth's root canal). The pulp chamber and root canal(s) of your tooth are then cleaned, medicated and sealed. A dental crown or other restorative treatment is used to protect and strengthen the tooth. After reviewing an x-ray of your tooth, your Endodontist will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums and supporting bone structure, recommend a treatment plan, discuss it with you, and answer your questions.

A dental filling strengthens the tooth. If tooth decay is not repaired at its early stages, it will worsen and additional or alternative dental treatments may be necessary. With proper care and routine oral hygiene, a filling has a lifespan of 5-12 years, depending upon the type of filling material used.

4PM ###### Tues & Wed 8AM - 5PM ###### Thurs 9AM - 5PM ###### Friday 8AM - 2PM ###### Sat Closed For over 40 years Dental Professionals from around the world have placed Dental Implants in patients to restore their oral function. Dental Implants are made from surgical grade Titanium, and in most cases offer a permanent solution for one or more missing teeth. Titanium is not only used for Dental Implants, it is the material used for many other types of medical devices, such as Knee and Hip replacements. The properties of Titanium allow the human bodies bone to actually integrate into the metals surface. This process is known as “Osseointergration.” This amazing discovery was made by Dr. PI Branemark in the mid to late 1960’s and was funded by the Nobel Research Institute in Stockholm Sweden. Since then Millions of people have enjoyed an improved quality of life. Like many modern medical and dental technologies, Dental Implants have been dramatically improved over the last few decades. From the actual physical design, to the surface, these devices are more predictable then ever. This has allowed Dentists to offer their patients \*“Immediate Function” in many cases. Immediate Function enables the patient to leave the office the day of surgery with a Temporary Tooth in place. In as little as eight weeks from that date, the patient can receive their final crown. Modern Dental utilizes these advancements along with “State of the Art” CAT scan technology, and sophisticated surgical planning software to create an optimal patient experience. While a tooth supported bridge is a reasonable choice, it does have some significant disadvantages over a Dental Implant. For example with a three unit bridge the Dentist must grind off the enamel of the two adjacent teeth in order to cement the bridge in place. This process can lead to decay of those teeth. In addition, human bone needs force applied against it in order to stay healthy and in place. With a three unit bridge the missing tooth is replaced with a “floating” tooth suspended between two crowns. This is called a Pontic. Because the Pontic does not apply force on the bone, the bone melts away over time. This can lead to destabilization of the adjacent teeth, hygiene issues, and cosmetic challenges. In contrast, an implant recreates the natural anatomy and applies force to the bone. This keeps the bone healthy and in place. It also allows the Dentist the ability to leave the adjacent teeth alone. Lastly, research indicates that most tooth supported bridges fail with in fifteen years, often even sooner then that. While most implants, when integrated, last a lifetime. When you consider the “Lifetime Value”, lack of bone loss, cosmetic look, and not having to grind down healthy adjacent teeth, the choice most people make is to have the Dental Implant. There are two other choices a patient can make. One is a removable bridge this is not a very attractive choice. Most Dentists only use it for temporary reasons. The only advantage it has is price. Two is a Maryland Bridge or Resin Bonded. This solution does leave the adjacent teeth alone, but these often fail and have to be re-bonded over and over again. They also do not address the bone loss problem. We look forward to helping you achieve the smile of your dreams!

If it is not treated promptly, pain or a tooth abscess results. Endodontic treatment is also known as a "root canal." Root canal treatment is completed in one or two office visits, depending on the presence of infection and the required treatment plan. After restoration, the tooth continues to function like any other tooth. With good oral hygiene, the restored tooth has the potential to last a lifetime. Endodontists are root canal specialists. They are qualified Dentists who have two additional years of education and specialized training in the care and treatment of tooth pulp and the inner parts of the tooth. If a root canal is required, a Dentist often refers the patient to an Endodontist for treatment. Your Endodontist will work closely with your Dentist to improve your oral health and restore your natural teeth. See your Dentist if you experience any of these symptoms: Sometimes an endodontic problem can exist without warning signs. In these cases, an x-ray taken during a routine dental checkup will reveal the tooth damage. Root canal treatment involves the removal of the diseased pulp along with the tooth's nerve (located within a tooth's root canal). The pulp chamber and root canal(s) of your tooth are then cleaned, medicated and sealed. A dental crown or other restorative treatment is used to protect and strengthen the tooth. After reviewing an x-ray of your tooth, your Endodontist will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums and supporting bone structure, recommend a treatment plan, discuss it with you, and answer your questions.
