Sandy Springs: Complete Dentistry without Warm Towels

Quality oral health care with unprecedented patient service.

Dentist near meWe’re a multi-specialty practice which means we can treat a lot of your oral health issues and cosmetic dentistry under one roof.  But we are not all things to all people.  And we aren’t trying to be all things to all people.

We focus on your oral health as it relates to your global health, but we are not your dietitian or physician and we shouldn’t be.  We can work with these specialists as a support team to what you eat and how your oral indicators might lead to other gateway issues.  While we are intimately involved in your wellness by keeping your oral health issues at a minimum, if not completely eliminated, we don’t tell you to eat more avocados and fewer bananas.  We do tell you to drink less soda because that directly relates to your oral health.  So it’s a balanced approach.

We recognize that a lot of things have changed in oral health care.  And we have been conservative leaders in the process.  We were one of the early practices that treated general patient pools with prosthodontic expertise.  We’ve been restoring dental implants for over 30 years.  We were one of the first to use digital x-rays 10 years ago.  But, we haven’t introduced warm damp towels into our practice and we don’t do massages.[1]  Nor do we douse you with laughing gas.  We can’t be all things to everyone, because it’s a distraction from what we need to do and that’s creating the right smile for you and your loved ones.

Occasionally,  we offer in-house endodontics, but refer out if we see the need.  We also offer in-house periodontics and implant placement to complement our restorative and cosmetic practice.  Whether you’re in for routine maintenance or full mouth reconstruction, you will enjoy unprecedented oral health care from a group of experienced dentists.  We are focused on your oral health and quality of life as it relates to your oral health.  Our team is devoted to changing your lives with the right smile that’s both beautiful and functional, all within your life style.  We’re a lot of old school experience operating with new techniques and technology.

So if you’re looking for quality care from a group of professionals that really care about you, gives us a call or check out our reviews and see what other patients have said about their experience with the Right Smile Center.

Sandy Springs: How to Choose the Right ‘Cosmetic’ Dentist

Top Prosthodontist near meOver the past decade there has been a dramatic appearance of ‘cosmetic dentists’ to the degree that almost every dentist is now a cosmetic dentist. Why? Because there is no such thing as a cosmetic dentist and therefore it is unregulated.  Because the term ‘cosmetic’ is unregulated there is no shortage of dentists pressing the envelope of ethics.

So how do choose the right dentist?

  1. Make sure your ‘cosmetic’ dentist is accredited by the American Dental Association and not just a member.  This would be a prosthodontic trained dentist, which is a 3 year post-doctoral dental degree specializing in aesthetic and functional dentistry.
  2. Don’t be fooled by all of the organizations that provide unaccredited certifications.  The only accredited specialties are those approved by the American Dental Association and cosmetic dentistry is not an approved credential.
  3. Select a prosthodontist who performs cosmetic dentistry every day.  Creating the right smile is more of an art than a science.
  4. Look for real reviews and a history of longevity within the field of prosthodontics.
  5. Request a consult and ask to see before and after results.
  6. Finally, trust your instincts.

A prosthodontist will have a significant amount of experience in complex cases.  According to Forbes Magazine the prosthodontist is the rarest dental specialty in the United States, making up less than 2% of the dentists.

So for the right smile make sure you have the right dentist, a prosthodontist.

Buckhead: Need a Cosmetic Dentist?

Visit an ADA approved Prosthodontist.

Cosmetic dentist near me

If you are in need of tooth restoration, or if you are unhappy with the way your smile looks, your first inclination may be to head to a cosmetic dentist. Technically, there is no such thing.  Instead, it may be wiser to head to a prosthodontic dentist.

Most patients, in fact, almost all patients have never heard of a prosthodontic dentist. However, these dentists are highly regarded and certified by the American Dental Association (ADA) as what you might term “a cosmetic dentist”.

Cosmetic dentistry is NOT a recognized ADA specialty.

This means that dental schools instruct dentists in techniques, methods, and specialized training in prosthodontics—not in cosmetic dentistry.

Prosthodontic dentists  are post-graduate, university trained in certain types of procedures that are used in cosmetic dentistry.

What’s more, prosthodontic dentists receive an additional three years of post-dental school training.  Of the 200,000 dentists in the United States, less than 2% are trained prosthodontists.  According to Forbes Magazine, prosthodontics is the rarest dental specialty in the country. There are only 560 of these dental specialists who are devoted to restoring and replacing teeth.

During their extra three years of training, prosthodontic dentists study anatomy of the head, neck, and mouth as well as esthetics (the cosmetic part of performing procedures). These dentists are trained to be experts in the field of aesthetic dentistry.  They are commonly considered the quarterbacks of implant dentistry.

Many prosthodontic dentists also help patients with maxillofacial procedures. Maxillofacial procedures are ones in which acquired and congenital defects are treated. These can be any defects of the head and neck due to trauma or injury, or they could be defects that were present at birth. However, in order to be licensed to practice maxillofacial procedures, a dentist must complete an additional year of training. This is an extra year after the three extra years required for becoming a prosthodontic dentist.

If you’re in need of cosmetic dentistry, go with a pro, a prosthodontic dentist.
