Night guards are essential appliances for patients who suffer from bruxism, a condition involving teeth grinding and jaw clenching during sleep. At Elegant Smiles, our custom-made night guards fit comfortably over your upper or lower teeth, forming a protective barrier that prevents contact between the teeth. This helps relieve tension in the jaw and prevents damage. Let our expert Atlanta dentist help you protect your smile while you sleep.

Athletic Mouthguards: Safety for Active Patients from Your Dentist in Atlanta

Designed to absorb impact and protect the teeth, gums, jawbone, and facial tissues, these mouthguards are constructed for durability and maximum protection. At Atlanta dentistry, we help ensure your safety on the field with custom-fitted athletic mouthguards.

Tooth Extractions: Safe and Comfortable Procedures at Atlanta Dentistry

A tooth extraction is a procedure that is reserved only for situations in which it is deemed necessary for the patient’s health. As we recognize that keeping a tooth intact is preferable in most cases, there are many situations in which tooth removal is truly the best option – this may include:

  • Wisdom teeth impaction
  • Severely decayed tooth
  • Extensive tooth damage
  • Overcrowding

In either of the above cases, our team will carefully craft an extraction plan to remove the tooth or teeth. This may be performed employing either simple or surgical techniques.

  • Simple extractions are performed on teeth that are easily accessible within the oral cavity.
  • Surgical extractions are used to access and remove teeth that have not yet emerged from the gum tissue.

Either extraction plan will be supported by our advanced 3D imaging system – ensuring we remove these teeth as gently as possible while minimizing tissue trauma. This allows for a smooth procedure with a quick recovery.

TMJ Treatment: Relief for Jaw Pain and Discomfort at Elegant Smiles

TMJ treatment is a service offered to patients experiencing pain, discomfort, or tension in the temporomandibular joint. This joint is a crucial anatomical element that allows the mouth to open and close, serving as a hinge between the upper and lower jaw. When the joint becomes inflamed, patients may experience jaw tenderness, headaches, locked jaw, or a popping sensation upon opening the mouth; this is known as temporomandibular joint dysfunction, or TMD. TMD may also cause patients to exhibit the symptoms of bruxism – teeth grinding and jaw clenching.

Our team is skilled in the ability to identify and treat TMD by first turning our focus to the source of the inflammation. With proper diagnosis, we can ensure that the patient is met with the proper course of treatment.

Oral Cancer Screening: Early Detection at Elegant Smiles

Oral cancer is a malignant growth of cells that may target any area of the mouth; this includes the tongue, cheeks, gums, lips, or the surface/floor of the oral cavity. Symptoms of oral cancer include red or white patches inside the mouth, persistent sores or lumps in the mouth or along the lips, and pain or swelling in the face or mouth.

At Elegant Smiles, we take oral cancer seriously, and we perform an oral cancer screening as a part of every routine visit. During the screening, we may ask questions, thoroughly inspect your oral tissues, and examine your neck to detect enlarged lymph nodes. By taking these steps, we are able to identify and treat oral cancer early, thereby increasing the likelihood of a successful recovery.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry

Absolutely, the general dentistry practice centers can provide preventive care through regular dental exams, professional cleanings, cancer screenings, and protective dental devices. This allows our dentists to recognize and diagnose potential dental concerns early on.

Tooth extraction should be carried out when a patient's tooth is decayed, damaged, or impacted. The dental practitioner assesses each situation with care and only extracts a tooth if it is necessary.

The night guard shields your teeth from clenching and grinding while sleeping. It thus minimizes tooth wear and protects you against jaw joint pain and associated symptoms in the long run.

Mouth guards act as cushions for the mouth and jaw. They ensure that the teeth will not break, the lips are protected from getting cuts, and the jaws are protected against any harm during the playing of the sport.

Signs of TMJ disorder include pain in the jaw joint, jaw clicking, headaches, jaw joint problems while eating, and stiffness in the jaw joint. Detecting these symptoms early can save you from long-term discomfort with proper dental care.

Best dental experience I’ve ever had! I’m so glad I gave Elegant a try and didn’t let the dental fear stop me because this is what it’s supposed to be like. Many people would come and do their cleanings more often if this is where they went. Daisy was incredible and brilliant. Personable is an understatement. She made every step of my appointment lighthearted. And Dr. Kimi had a gentle hand and she was incredibly kind. She was knowledgeable and efficient. Both of them never made me feel judged which was my biggest fear. I’m glad I have somewhere to go that won’t put my anxiety in turbo-mode.

As a new patient with this dental practice, i am thoroughly impressed with the staff, their quality of service, and my overall experience. I moved into the area not long ago and have had the hardest time finding a dentist that takes my Humana Medicare plan. So i was excited when i learned Elegant Smiles was an in-network provider (1st star) and i didn't have to wait long for an appointment (2nd star). I scheduled an appt for a basic cleaning but ended up needing a deep cleaning. Well I did miss a few cleanings over the last 2 years so i braced for the situation and proceeded knowing it may be a bit more painful. But i was so wrong and pleasantly pleased. From the start, the warm welcome from Lauren, the dental assistant, was delightful. Her smile and joyful personality is infectious. She's attentive, very good at helping patients relax, and seems to enjoy her work (3rd star). Upon meeting Dr. McKie, i was immediately comfortable with his demeanor and appreciated his recommendations as well as the attention he gives to his patients. But the highlight was the care and gentleness of the cleaning. I've been there twice now to complete the deep cleaning and it truly has been the best dental experience i've had. Dr. McKie's efficiency, quality of service, and professionalism is praiseworthy.

Very amiable staff. They are nice and very professional! I was helped by Hygienist Shewantai and Dr. To and they were the best! They were very gentle and took great care with my teeth. I’ve had many dentists in the past that were very cold and unforgiving with drilling into my teeth, so they were a breath of fresh air the first time I came here over a year ago. I definitely recommend this practice to anyone who is sensitive to dental work, they will take their time and be gentle with you!

I had an amazing experience at Elegant Smiles. I loved the hygienist Lauren. She was very friendly and informative which helped make me feel comfortable as a first time patient. Dr. Mckie is amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable. He not only educated me, but helped me feel relieved about the concerns I had. I’m very pleased with the treatment I received as well as the customer service. There wasn’t a long wait & their X-Ray process is also super cool and quick! 10/10
