Dunwoody Dentist near meA beautiful smile is not just about healthy looking teeth.  Your gums are equally as important.  Yet one in every two American adults 30 and over has periodontal disease.[1]  2009 and 2010 estimates indicate 47% or 64.7 million American adults, have mild, moderate or severe periodontitis.[2]  In adults 65 and older, disease rates increase to 70.1 percent.[3]

A beautiful smile consists of teeth and gums living in perfect harmony with each other.  But teeth often steal the credit when it comes to beautiful smiles.  Our periodontal practice has always been on the leading edge of patient care.   With our in-house periodontist, we can specialize in treating gum disease and periodontal plastic surgery.  We have always incorporated the newest technology and technique to patient care, but with our periodontal services, we can to help patients achieve the best dental health possible in the most comfortable, relaxing environment possible – here in our own office.

With that in mind there are many new procedures we can perform in our office, including gum reshaping, grafting, perio-supervised root planing and scaling, more comprehensive pocket depth monitoring and reducing the improper brushing techniques that may have gone unsupervised when we send a patient out to a referring specialist.

If we can be of service please contact us for your complimentary consultation.

Dental Cleanings: Dunwoody

Dunwoody Dentist near meProfessional teeth cleanings performed by a certified dental hygienist are the foundation to maintaining a healthy mouth and preventing future gum disease and tooth decay.   Actively preventing periodontal disease and tooth decay starts at home, augmented with regular dental cleanings and oral exams.  Combined you should be able to maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.

In a professional dental cleaning, our hygienist will:

  • Perform perio-pocket charting
  • Remove plaque and tarter from the teeth and gum line
  • Remove calculus below the gum line with procedures that can only be performed by a professional and may even require antibiotics
  • Remove stains and polish your teeth
  • Administer x-rays where and when necessary
  • Check for signs of oral cancer

Our practice offers preventive care that includes comprehensive cleaning, fluoride treatment, sealants, oral examinations and periodontal treatments that help you maintain your smile’s health and beauty. Brushing your teeth twice-daily and regular flossing at least once a day are necessary for maintenance between office visits, but a healthy mouth and beautiful smile can only be achieved with routine general and preventive care by a dentist.

The added advantage of a multi-specialty practice is our in-house periodontal treatment.  So if you have an issue that exceeds the ability or training of our hygienists, you can still be examined and treated in our office.  If we can be of service please contact us for a complementary consult with one our team.

Dentist Dunwoody: Dental Emergency? Physician or Dentist?

by Drs. Novy and ZoAnna Bock and Hanna Orland, posted in Dental emergency, Dentist, Oral health, Root canal, tooth pulled

Dunwoody dental emergency, tooth acheIf you have ever had one, you know a toothache can be very painful.  And in some instances a toothache can be considered a dental emergency.  But there may be some symptoms of a toothache that cause you to wonder whether or you should see a physician or a dentist. Events like a knocked out tooth or other injury of the mouth can often be resolved quickly if you see an emergency dentist.

What exactly is an emergency dentist? Whether you know it or not, it most likely is your very own family dentist.  Many dentists offer emergency hours and on call services for dental emergencies.  If not, you may be able to find a clinic that specializes in emergency dentistry.  These facilities are open 24 hours a day just for emergencies. Either way, you can be assured that you can find help when you need it.

Most likely, if you visit a physician for your dental emergency, he will give you medication to help you over until you can see a dentist.  Obviously, a dentist can prescribe pain medication just like a physician.  So it may be faster and timelier as it relates to your issues if you see a dentist in the first place.  If you are in pain, you probably don’t want to waste the extra time it would take to see a physician first.  Obviously, if you have an injury that is causing your dental emergency, make sure it is not life threatening before you choose between a physician and a dentist.

If you have a toothache, abscess, root canal problems, broken or chipped tooth, knocked out tooth, swollen gums, broken dentures, decayed tooth roots, loose crowns, lost fillings, wisdom teeth problems or pain in the mouth or gums, feel free to contact an emergency dentist.  We are more than happy to assist you in evaluating these types of situations.
