Pediatric Dentist???

Have you wondered if you need to schedule your child at a pediatric dental office? We at Suwanee Dental Care love to see your children We are a complete "family dental care office." We offer first dental visits or "happy visits" to get your child acclimated to our office. We can/will procede with a regular preventive cleaning when your child is comfortable with us. Most of the time this is the very first visit. We make your child feel welcome by talking to them at their eye level and explaining and showing how everything works in the simplest of terms. We believe in the highest levels of preventative dentistry. Fluoride and sealents are some of our favorites. We can also reverse decay with prescription MI paste if it has not broken through the enamel.
We offer drill less and laser dentistry should your child have a cavitity. We always try to find decay at it's earliest to keep the restoration as simple and small as possible. We have a high tech laser, Diagnodent, that is 80% more accurate then our eyes or sense of touch. Many times an early cavity can be taken care of without an injection of anesthesia. We only do composite or white restorations.

Two of our doctors have advanced training in traditional othodontics and all three of our doctors are Invisalign certified. Some childre ages 10 and above may be eligible for Teen Invisalign. Teen Invisalign is decided on a case by case option taking the child's emotional age and commitment to oral health into consideration.

So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and schedule your child's dental care with us and they will be well taken care of!

New Patient Exams

We pride ourselves at Suwanee Dental Care with one of the most comprehensive new patient dental exams. We use "state of the art" diagnostics.
Our exam includes intra/extra oral digital photographs, full mouth digital x-rays, a complete hard tissue exam, a full six point periodontal exam, an oral cancer screen with a Velscope and a simple finger stick to check for oral/systemic diseases such as diabetes, C-reactive protein and cholesterol.
The digital pictures allow our dentists to make a through cosmetic evaluation. They look at color, spacing and symmetry. They can then make recommendations for traditional or Invisalign orthodontics, bleaching, bonding, veneers and replacement of missing teeth.
Digital x-rays find dental disease early; enabling our doctors to be proactive, instead of reactive to "toothache" pain.
The hard tissue exam shows previous dental conditions and treatment. Present conditions are also noted and needed treatment assessed.
The six point periodontal exam involves measuring the space between the tooth and gum tissue in six locations. The doctors also look for bleeding and recession. Measurements above 3mm and bleeding are signs of periodontal disease. Periodontal or "gum" disease has also been linked to diabetes, heart disease and low birth weight babies, among other systemic diseases. Periodontal disease requires specific treatment and management.
The oral cancer screening uses new diagnostic technology. It involves the use of a Velscope. The Velscope uses high intensity light on the soft tissue of your mouth to see down to the basal cell layer to find any signs of changes sooner then later with human eyes. Oral cancer is the sixth morbidity causing cancer. It is estimated that one person and hour dies of oral cancer in the United States.
The finger stick will give us an immediate indication of diabetes and heart disease.
All of these exams and screenings allow use to give you the most comprehensive new patient exam and best dental treatment presently available.
If you want comprehensive, complete dental care call Suwanee Dental Care to schedule a new patient exam with our dentist.
