Dental Implants
Metro Decatur Dental Group PC offers state-of-the-art dental implant services in Pine Lake, GA. Dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement, providing a permanent solution for missing teeth. Our experienced team of dental professionals utilizes advanced techniques and technology to ensure successful implant placement and restoration. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or multiple teeth, dental implants can restore your smile’s function and aesthetics.

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.

Root Canal Therapy
Metro Decatur Dental Group PC provides expert root canal therapy services to patients in Pine Lake, GA. Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, is a procedure used to treat infected or damaged tooth pulp and save a severely decayed or injured tooth.
During a root canal procedure, our experienced dentists carefully remove the infected or inflamed pulp from the tooth’s interior, clean and disinfect the root canal system, and seal it to prevent further infection. This process alleviates pain, preserves the tooth’s structure, and allows you to retain your natural tooth.
Pine Lake was established as a city in December 1937,[4] after a short life as a summer retreat run by the Pine Woods Corporation. The corporation sold lots around a small fishing lake to Atlantans who lived in (then) faraway areas like Buckhead for use as a weekend retreat. The 20′ x 100′ lots sold for $69, and the advertisement for lots directed people “from Decatur down the [unpaved] Rockbridge Road East.” Many homeowners continued to use their property as a weekend getaway long after the city incorporated. Prior to development, Pine Lake was a portion of a farm. The lake was formerly a widened region of Snapfinger Creek, and the valley that encompasses much of the town was where corn was grown. The lake was dammed by the Army Corps of Engineers as erosion and flood control, prior to the official FDR lake projects.
Pine Lake is located at 33°47′29″N 84°12′23″W / 33.79139°N 84.20639°W / 33.79139; -84.20639 (33.791505, -84.206428).[5] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.2 square miles (0.52 km2), of which 0.2 square miles (0.52 km2) is land and 5.00% is water.
