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.
X-rays
X-rays are a valuable diagnostic tool used by dentists to assess the health of your teeth and underlying bone structure. At Metro Decatur Dental Group PC, we utilize digital X-ray technology to obtain high-quality images with minimal radiation exposure.
During your dental visit, our skilled technicians will take X-rays as needed to evaluate the condition of your teeth, detect cavities, and identify any potential issues below the surface. These images provide valuable insights that enable our dentists to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs.
Digital X-rays offer numerous benefits, including enhanced image clarity, reduced radiation exposure, and faster processing times. By incorporating this advanced technology into our practice, we can provide you with the highest standard of care while prioritizing your safety and comfort.
Fillings
Dental fillings are a common treatment used to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay or cavities. At Metro Decatur Dental Group PC, we offer comprehensive filling services to help preserve the health and integrity of your smile.
During a filling procedure, our experienced dentists will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and clean the affected area to prevent further damage. We then carefully fill the cavity with a durable and aesthetically pleasing material, such as composite resin or amalgam, to restore the tooth’s function and appearance.
Our goal is to provide you with long-lasting results that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. We take pride in our meticulous attention to detail and commitment to delivering exceptional care to every patient we serve.

Lithonia (/lɪˈθoʊniə/, lith-OH-nee-ə; AAVE: /laɪ-/) is a city in eastern DeKalb County, Georgia, United States. The city’s population was 2,662 at the 2020 census. Lithonia is in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
“Lithonia” means “city/town of stone”. Lithonia is in the heart of the Georgian granite-quarrying and viewing region, hence the name of the town, from the Greek lithos, for “stone”.[4] The huge nearby Stone Mountain is composed of granite, while the Lithonia gneiss is a form of metamorphic rock. The Stone Mountain granite is younger than, and has intruded the Lithonia gneiss. The area has a history of rock quarries. The mines were served by the Georgia Railroad and Atlanta, Stone Mountain & Lithonia Railway. Some of the rock quarries have been converted to parkland, and the rail lines to rail-trail.
