Routine Check-ups
Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings are essential for removing plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. At Metro Decatur Dental Group PC, our skilled dental hygienists use advanced techniques to thoroughly clean and polish your teeth, leaving your smile looking and feeling its best. We believe in the importance of regular cleanings as part of a comprehensive oral hygiene routine and encourage our patients to schedule appointments every six months to ensure optimal oral health.
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 that allows us to see beneath the surface of your teeth and gums, identifying issues that may not be visible during a routine examination. At Metro Decatur Dental Group PC, we use state-of-the-art digital X-ray technology to minimize radiation exposure while providing detailed images of your oral structures. These images help us detect cavities, bone loss, impacted teeth, and other concerns early on, allowing us to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to your needs. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities, and we take every precaution to ensure that your X-ray experience is as safe and efficient as possible.
Fillings
When tooth decay occurs, prompt treatment is essential to prevent further damage and preserve the health of your smile. At Metro Decatur Dental Group PC, we offer tooth-colored fillings as a conservative treatment option for restoring teeth affected by cavities. Our skilled dentists use high-quality composite resin materials to fill cavities discreetly, blending seamlessly with your natural tooth enamel for a flawless finish. We believe in providing our patients with durable and aesthetically pleasing restorations that promote long-term oral health and confidence in their smiles.
Stonecrest is a city in DeKalb County, Georgia, United States. The boundaries of the city generally lie in the far southeastern corner of the county, and a smaller portion just north of Interstate 20. The city borders the existing municipality of Lithonia, as well as Rockdale and Henry counties.
Residents in the area voted in the November 2016 General Election to approve the city. In March 2017, elections were held to elect representatives for five city council districts as well as mayor. Jason Lary, a former insurance executive, concert promoter, and advocate of incorporation was elected the city’s first mayor.[3] The City Council members are District 1, Jimmy Clanton, District 2 Rob Turner, District 3 Jazzmin Cobble, District 4 George Turner and District 5 Tammy Grimes. Also the area is represented at the county level by District 5 Commissioner Mereda Davis-Johnson and Super District 7 Commissioner Lorraine Cochran- Johnson.
The city had voted a plan to deannex 345 acres of its territory so that the Georgia Legislature could create a new city, to be called Amazon, Georgia, if Stonecrest had been selected to host Amazon’s new corporate headquarters, a project which would result in billions of dollars of investment and the creation of 50,000 jobs,[7] a number equal to the estimated population of Stonecrest.[8]
