Do you want a simple way to look 10 years younger?


Did you know that by updating and improving your smile you can look 10 years younger? It can be something as simple as whitening your teeth or smoothing some rough, uneven edges to orthodontics or even veneers. Having a healthy, beautiful smile can be a non-surgical facelift! Come in to our office for a Smile Analysis and we will go over your options so that your smile can look 10 years younger too!

Sensitive Teeth - Your dentist can put a stop to that


Now your dentist or hygienist can easily eliminate tooth sensitivity caused by enamel erosion. The most common cause of sensitive teeth is the exposure of the sensitive part of the tooth called the "dentin". The dentin is made up of thousands of microscopic passageways that lead to the tooth's nerve center. These passageways, known as tubules, are normally covered and protected by the tooth's enamel and the surrounding gums. But when the dentin is exposed, and your teeth come in contact with something hot, cold or sweet, the tubules carry the sensation directly to the tooth's nerves and cause pain.

There are several types of "desensitizers" that stop sensitivity. First they mimick the protective action of the tooth's enamel by plugging and protecting the tubules so that sensitivity and pain disappear. The more deeply the tubules are blocked, the deeper and longer lasting the desensitization.

The enamel where the tooth meets the gum can become worn away, either by hard brushing or by the natural effects of aging, causing exposure of dentin. which results in hypersensitivity. These "desensitizers" are specially formulated to quickly, simply and painlessly stop the sensitivity and prevent it from recurring. Ask us about it at your next dental visit.

The Wand- Computer Controlled Anesthetic Delivery


The Wand conquers the pain and anxiety of dental injections. The microprocessor inside The Wand automatically ensures a steady flow rate regardless of tissue density. Constant, slow flow is one key to virtually pain-free injections. The computer provides a flow of anesthetic directly ahead of the needle. This creates a pathway of anesthesia so you hardly feel the needle at all.


The source of discomfort for most injections, however, isn't the needle, it's the flow of the anesthetic into your tissue. The Wand delivers the anesthetic at an optimal flow rate for a comfortable injection.


We've taken the Fear, Anxiety and Pain our of Dental Anesthetic. We know that some patients get more nervous than others do at the mere site of a needle and syringe. That's why this office now performs anesthetic injections with a revolutionary system called The Wand. It doesn't look like a syringe. It doesn't feel like a syringe. The Wand allows injections that do not numb the lips, face and muscles of expression. Whether injections make you nervous or not, The Wand helps us provide a more effective anesthetic delivery and the onset of anesthesia is often faster.


A more pleasant dental experience The Wand is an excellent example of our efforts to bring you helpful dental technology, and to aid all of our patients to have a pleasant, positive visit to our office. Feel free to ask us if you'd like to know more about this remarkable system.

The New Patient Experience!


Here at Suwanee Dental Care, we try to make your dental experience something to remember. We begin a new patient appointment by giving a tour of our office. It is very nice and comforting to see where you are going to be treated. This is also a great opportunity to ask questions about our practice and the doctors and staff. After the tour, the doctor and the dental assistant will meet in our consultation room with the patient to get to know more about them. The main dental concerns of the patient are also discussed at this time. This time spent with the patient seems to give them a sense of comfort to ease their mind before they actually sit in the dental chair. We try to make the patient as comfortable as we can, since most patients fear dental treatment. After meeting the doctor, we move to the dental operatory where we do a very thorough dental examination of the patient's teeth and oral health. The next appointment for the patient will be with our treatment coordinator to review the findings and go over a treatment proposal that had been prepared by the doctor. The patient is given the opportunity to decide which treatment they want to start with and when the best time to get scheduled. If you are looking for a dental home, why don't you give Suwanee Dental Care a call.
