Atlanta, GA Dentist services   

From routine cleanings and fillings to bruxism devices, Intown Dental Center is equipped to handle all your dental needs. To help you understand your options, we've included descriptions of some of our leading services on this page.

Initial Oral Examination
Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We will also take x-rays, which includes the panoramic x-ray for proper diagnosis of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth as well as the bite-wing x-ray series for proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth.

Implants
Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures.

Veneers
Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain or plastic cemented over the front of your teeth to change their color or shape. Veneers are used on teeth with uneven surfaces or are chipped, discolored, oddly shaped, unevenly spaced or crooked. Read More...

Crowns and Bridges
Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth. Crowns are typically used to restore a tooth's function and appearance following a restorative procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a tooth has become so advanced that large portions of the tooth must be removed, crowns are often used to restore the tooth. Read More...

Teeth Whitening
Whitening procedures have effectively restored the smile of people with stained, dull, or discolored teeth. The darker tissue of your teeth, the dentin, can become exposed as the outer layer of enamel is worn away by the effects of aging or things like caffeine and tobacco. Read More...

Invisalign®
Invisalign's® invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners will give you the beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted. And best of all, no one can tell you're wearing them. Invisalign is great for adults and teenagers. Read More...

Root Canal Therapy
Root canals are tiny passageways that branch off from beneath the top of the tooth, coursing their way vertically downward, until they reach the tip of the root. Read More...

Toothaches
Simple toothaches can often be relieved by rinsing the mouth to clear it of debris and other matter. Sometimes, a toothache can be caused or aggravated by a piece of debris lodged between the tooth and another tooth. Avoid placing an aspirin between your tooth and gum to relieve pain, because the dissolving aspirin can actually harm your gum tissue. Read More...

Dental Emergencies 
Our goal is to help you to minimize the risk of emergency treatment. This is why we commit a generous amont of time designing a Lifetime Treatment Plan that will help you to offset the possibility of unforseen pain or tooth breakage. Read More...

Services Offered

Customized Hygiene Therapy

We believe each patient should be evaluated individually for personalized dental cleanings. Based on your level of plaque accumulation, staining, inflammation, and bone loss, we will tailor a cleaning schedule to ensure optimal health. We offer three types of cleanings depending on your needs:

• Healthy Mouth Prophylaxis

  Routine cleaning for patients without bone loss or gum disease. Ideal for those maintaining regular cleanings and seeking to preserve oral health.

• Scaling and Root Planing

  Recommended for patients who have missed regular visits and show significant tartar buildup, bone loss, and inflammation. Numbing is provided for comfort. A modified version (scaling in the presence of gingivitis) is available for those without bone loss. Includes an antimicrobial flush to help remove inflammatory products.

• Periodontal Maintenance Cleanings

  For patients who have undergone scaling and root planing. A deeper cleaning than routine prophylaxis due to history of bone loss. Performed quarterly to prevent biofilm and plaque buildup.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

We exclusively use resin-bonded, tooth-colored fillings, avoiding silver amalgams. We use specialized suction to safely remove old amalgam fillings. Resin-bonded fillings are color-matched to your teeth and have an average clinical lifespan of 7-10 years, depending on home care, diet, and bruxism.

Cosmetic Services

• Bonding: Composite resin used to fill and repair teeth.
• Veneers: Composite resin or thin porcelain applied to change the shape, color, size, or length of teeth.
• Diastema Closure: Using composite resin or veneers to close gaps between teeth.
• Cosmetic Reshaping: Smoothing and reshaping chipped or sharp teeth for improved appearance.
• Whitening: In-office and take-home options available with professional strength and desensitizers.
• Cosmetic Temporary Dentures or Retainers: Temporary esthetic solutions while waiting for a permanent implant, bridge, or denture.

Implants

A permanent, non-removable option to replace missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth. Implants help preserve jawbone integrity and resist decay.

Laser Dentistry

We use soft tissue diode lasers for treatments including healing cold sores, ulcers, laser gingivectomies, frenectomies, and conservative biopsies.

Extractions

Routine extractions can be performed in-office. Complex cases requiring sedation are referred to an oral surgeon. Socket grafting may be done to prepare for future restorations.

Root Canal Therapy

When the tooth's nerve is damaged by decay or trauma, root canal therapy removes the nerve and disinfects the tooth, preserving it from extraction. Most root canal-treated teeth require a crown due to brittleness post-treatment.

Crowns, Onlays, and Bridges

Crowns or onlays are recommended for large restorations or broken cusps. A bridge is a unit of three connected crowns to replace a missing tooth.

Dentures and Partials

Removable appliances are available to replace missing teeth, including options with implant support for improved retention.

Orthodontics

We offer traditional braces and clear aligners to improve bite function, esthetics, and airway health.

TMJ Appliance Therapy

Custom-fit appliances help alleviate jaw pain and tooth wear from clenching and grinding. Bite analysis ensures optimal protection.

Sleep Apnea Therapy

We offer at-home sleep apnea testing with results analyzed by a sleep physician. Oral appliances are available for those diagnosed with apnea who prefer not to use CPAP machines.

Botox

Botox injections are available for both cosmetic purposes and to relax muscles affected by clenching. Results typically last 3-4 months.

Pediatric Dental Treatments

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentists recommends that children see a dentist by age 1. We offer cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and conservative treatment of cavities using silver diamine fluoride (SDF) without drilling.
