Traditional Braces
Metro Decatur Dental Group PC offers traditional braces as a reliable solution for correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues. Traditional braces consist of metal brackets and wires that gradually shift teeth into their proper positions over time. Our skilled orthodontists customize each treatment plan to meet the unique needs of our patients, ensuring optimal results.
With traditional braces, patients can address a wide range of dental problems, including overcrowding, gaps between teeth, and bite misalignments. Despite the emergence of alternative orthodontic treatments, traditional braces remain a popular choice due to their effectiveness and affordability.
Invisalign
For patients seeking a discreet alternative to traditional braces, Metro Decatur Dental Group PC offers Invisalign clear aligners. Invisalign utilizes a series of custom-made, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without the need for metal brackets or wires.
Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them an ideal choice for individuals who wish to maintain a natural-looking smile during treatment. The aligners are also removable, allowing patients to enjoy their favorite foods and maintain their oral hygiene routine with ease.
Our experienced orthodontists work closely with patients to create personalized Invisalign treatment plans tailored to their unique dental needs and goals. We monitor progress closely and make adjustments as needed to ensure optimal results.
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, it’s essential to maintain the results with a retainer. Metro Decatur Dental Group PC offers a variety of retainers to help patients preserve their newly aligned smiles.
Retainers are custom-made devices that hold teeth in their corrected positions, preventing them from shifting back over time. We provide both removable and fixed retainers, allowing patients to choose the option that best fits their lifestyle and preferences.
Our team educates patients on proper retainer care and usage to ensure long-term effectiveness. We emphasize the importance of wearing retainers as instructed to maintain the results of orthodontic treatment and prevent relapse.
Orthodontic Consultations
At Metro Decatur Dental Group PC, we understand that starting orthodontic treatment is a significant decision. That’s why we offer comprehensive orthodontic consultations to assess each patient’s unique needs and provide personalized treatment recommendations.
During the consultation, our experienced orthodontists conduct a thorough examination of the teeth, jaws, and bite. We discuss the patient’s concerns, goals, and expectations to develop a customized treatment plan that aligns with their individual needs and preferences.
Toco Hills, a de facto commercial center for several CDPs north of the city of Decatur, has grown from a country store in 1950, with a single gas pump and a pot-bellied stove, to multiple shopping centers, coffee houses, houses of worship and townhouses.
North Decatur primarily consists of 1950s and 1960s-era ranch homes, although condominiums are increasingly being developed in this community. Its proximity to Atlanta’s Midtown and Buckhead districts, as well as Emory University and Decatur, makes it a desirable “in-town” location for what was originally developed as a suburban community.
