Featured Services

Crowns

A crown is a dental cap that completely covers a severely damaged tooth and restores your tooth's appearance and functionality. Crowns come in a variety of materials to suit your particular needs. This restorative dental procedure not only improves your teeth's aesthetic appearance, but also helps prevent bone loss and improves the overall health of your smile.

Endodontics procedures are focused on the care and treatment of the inner tissue of the tooth known as the dental pulp. Services may be aimed at preserving the health of the pulp or the removal of inflamed tissue that has been damaged due to infection, severe decay, or physical trauma. Endodontic therapy is a further treatment to clean and repair the pulp chamber and root canal.

The Dental Services We Provide at Panola Family Dental

Professional Teeth Cleaning

We recommend that you visit us at Panola Family Dental at least twice a year for a regular check-up and professional teeth cleaning. A professional teeth cleaning will remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing at home just can't handle. Professionally eliminating this build-up of plaque and tartar helps to prevent bad breath, tooth decay, and periodontal disease. The best dental care we can provide is preventative care. Regular check-ups and professional teeth cleaning prevent small problems from becoming more complex and difficult to treat. Call Panola Family Dental today at 770-322-8040 to begin the dental care regimen that saves you time, money, and stress.

Teeth Whitening

Over time, your teeth's natural whiteness can fade or become discolored as the result of diet, personal habits, or simply getting older. However, the teeth whitening procedures we offer here at Panola Family Dental can restore the brilliance of your smile. Depending on your needs and preferences, our dental team will help you choose whether to receive this treatment in our office or apply it yourself in the comfort and convenience of your own home.

Corrective Dental Services

You may be unhappy about the spacing or misalignment of your teeth, but you would like to know more about the options available to you. We encourage you to call us at 770-322-8040 and talk to our friendly, highly trained staff about our corrective dental procedures -- from reliably effective and affordable metal braces to the latest innovative orthodontic methods like Invisalign® aligners. Invisalign treatment is a wonderful option for working adults because it produces similar results to traditional metal braces, but utilizes a series of custom-made, clear aligners that are virtually invisible. You are able to maintain your professional appearance and enjoy the dramatic improvement of properly aligned teeth without feeling self-conscious.

Restorative Dentistry

Regardless of how meticulous we are about our oral health care, unforeseen situations can result in damaged enamel, cavities, gum disease, or even bone loss. Whether the cause is physical trauma or untreated decay, Panola Family Dental provides comprehensive dental service for all ages and we will work with you to find the dental treatment option that is perfectly suited to your individual oral health needs.

We want you to be well informed about your dental treatment options so that, in the event that you need a restorative dental procedure for damaged or lost teeth, you will be satisfied with your choice of crowns, a bridge, dental implants, or dentures. Panola Family Dental is dedicated to providing the people of Lithonia, Georgia with dental services that are effective, affordable, and convenient.

Innovative Dental Care Technology

We utilize the most advanced technology and state-of-the-art equipment in order to provide our patients with the highest quality of dental care. Our Panola Family Dental dental team uses the iTero Element scanner to produce high-resolution 3D images of your upper and lower dental structures. The iTero's virtual model of your teeth is created without the time and discomfort required by the use of traditional x-ray photos and the dreaded dental impression goo necessary for making a physical model. In only seconds, your dental team will be able to show you a model of your teeth's current condition as well as a side-by-side simulation of your smile with its ideal spacing and alignment. The unprecedented resolution capable with the iTero Element allows your hygienists and dentist to provide you with a higher quality of oral health care by identifying dental problems such as early decay or microscopic fractures in a fraction of the time required by old-fashioned methods. This means that we can give you a diagnosis with greater accuracy while also decreasing the amount of time for your examination.
