Traditional Braces
Metro Decatur Dental Group PC offers traditional braces as a reliable solution for correcting dental misalignments. These braces consist of metal brackets and wires that gradually move the teeth into proper alignment. Despite the emergence of newer orthodontic technologies, traditional braces remain a popular choice due to their effectiveness in treating a wide range of orthodontic issues.
Our skilled orthodontists customize traditional braces to suit each patient’s unique needs, ensuring optimal results. With regular adjustments, patients can expect gradual but significant improvements in their smile and bite alignment. Additionally, traditional braces are often more cost-effective compared to alternative treatments, making them accessible to a broader range of individuals seeking orthodontic care.
Invisalign
For those seeking a more discreet orthodontic treatment option, Metro Decatur Dental Group PC proudly offers Invisalign clear aligners. These virtually invisible aligners are made from smooth, comfortable plastic and are custom-designed to fit snugly over the teeth. Invisalign gradually shifts the teeth into their desired positions without the need for metal brackets or wires.
Patients appreciate the convenience and aesthetics of Invisalign, as the aligners are removable for eating, brushing, and flossing. Treatment with Invisalign typically involves a series of aligners that are changed every few weeks to advance the teeth’s movement. With Invisalign, patients can achieve a straighter smile with minimal disruption to their daily lives.
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
Following orthodontic treatment, Metro Decatur Dental Group PC emphasizes the importance of wearing retainers to maintain the results achieved. Retainers are custom-made appliances that help prevent teeth from shifting back into their original positions after braces or Invisalign treatment.
Our orthodontic team provides patients with detailed instructions on how to care for their retainers and incorporate them into their daily routine. By wearing retainers as directed, patients can preserve their newly aligned smile for years to come. Regular check-ups with our orthodontists ensure that retainers fit properly and continue to effectively maintain the desired results.

The area that would later become Chamblee was originally dairy farms. During the late nineteenth century, an intersection of two railroads was constructed in Chamblee; one carried passengers from Atlanta to Charlotte, North Carolina, while the other ferried workers and goods back and forth from a factory in Roswell to Atlanta. A settlement known as Roswell Junction emerged at the intersection, and the United States Postal Service decided to establish a post office there. However, feeling the name of the settlement was too similar to nearby Roswell, they randomly selected Chamblee from a list of petitioners for the new post office name.[5] Chamblee was incorporated in 1907.[6]
During World War I and World War II, Chamblee served as the site of U.S. military operations. During World War I, the U.S. operated Camp Gordon, home to 40,000 servicemen. This influx of new people created a building boom in the town. Camp Gordon was closed after the war and then re-opened as Navy Flight Training Center at the advent of World War II.[6]
