Traditional Braces
Metro Decatur Dental Group PC offers traditional braces as a reliable solution for correcting misaligned teeth and improving overall dental health. Our experienced orthodontists use state-of-the-art techniques and materials to ensure effective treatment with minimal discomfort. Traditional braces consist of metal brackets and wires that gradually shift teeth into their proper positions. This method is ideal for patients with more complex orthodontic issues, providing precise control and predictable results.
With traditional braces, patients can address a wide range of dental concerns, including overcrowding, spacing issues, and bite misalignments. Despite the rise of alternative orthodontic treatments, traditional braces remain a popular choice due to their affordability and proven effectiveness. Our team at Metro Decatur Dental Group PC is dedicated to customizing treatment plans to meet each patient’s unique needs, ensuring optimal results and a confident smile.
Invisalign
At Metro Decatur Dental Group PC, we proudly offer Invisalign as a discreet and convenient alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign utilizes clear aligner trays to gradually straighten teeth without the need for metal brackets or wires. These custom-made aligners are virtually invisible, allowing patients to undergo orthodontic treatment with confidence and discretion.
Invisalign aligners are removable, making it easier to maintain oral hygiene and enjoy favorite foods throughout treatment. With Invisalign, patients experience minimal discomfort compared to traditional braces, as there are no sharp wires or brackets to cause irritation. Our skilled orthodontists design personalized Invisalign treatment plans to address each patient’s unique smile goals, ensuring a comfortable and effective orthodontic experience.
Tooth Extraction
You and Dr. Gary Simms, DDS may determine that you need a tooth extraction for any number of reasons. Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease, or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.
Dental Abscess
When a tooth undergoes severe decay, or it gets chipped, or broken, bacteria can get in the openings and cause infection. This can also happened with gingivitis or gum disease sets in as well. When this infection travels to the root of the tooth, or between the gum and the tooth, a dental abscess takes place. The most common way to treat this problem is through an incision & drainage procedure.
Mouth Guard
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, effects millions of patients. Usually occurring during sleep, bruxism often can often go undiagnosed. Left untreated (no mouth guard) chronic teeth grinding can damage the jaw and teeth and cause chronic, sometimes debilitating headaches and facial pain. Decatur, GA dentist Dr. Gary Simms, DDS provides treatment for teeth grinding and clenching to prevent damage to your oral health.
Toothache
We often have patients come to our Metro Decatur Dental Group PC dental office complaining about tooth pain. Symptoms often vary widely from one individual to another. Your dentist will listen to your concerns, evaluate your condition and design a treatment plan to alleviate your tooth pain.
Retainers
After completing orthodontic treatment, Metro Decatur Dental Group PC recommends wearing retainers to maintain the results and prevent teeth from shifting back into their original positions. Retainers are custom-made appliances that hold teeth in their new alignment, allowing the surrounding tissues to adjust and stabilize.
We offer various types of retainers, including removable and fixed options, to suit each patient’s preferences and needs. Our team educates patients on proper retainer care and usage to ensure long-term success and a lasting beautiful smile. With regular retainer wear as directed by our orthodontists, patients can enjoy the benefits of their orthodontic treatment for years to come.
Orthodontic Consultations
Metro Decatur Dental Group PC provides comprehensive orthodontic consultations to assess each patient’s dental health and discuss potential treatment options. During the consultation, our experienced orthodontists conduct a thorough examination, including digital imaging and impressions, to evaluate the alignment of teeth and jaws.
We take the time to listen to our patients’ concerns and goals, tailoring treatment plans to meet their individual needs and preferences. Whether considering traditional braces, Invisalign, or other orthodontic solutions, we provide detailed information and transparent pricing to help patients make informed decisions about their oral health.
Our goal is to empower patients with knowledge and support throughout their orthodontic journey, ensuring a positive experience and exceptional results.
