- Teeth cleanings
- Tooth-colored fillings
- Dental crowns and bridges
- Dental implants

Preventive Dentistry Maintains Healthy Smiles
Prevention in dentistry includes the services needed to help your family maintain excellent oral health and minimize your risk for cavities, gum disease, infection, or even injury. The foundation of prevention is dental exams and teeth cleanings every six months.
It typically takes less than six months for a cavity to develop, so establishing a routine of dental visits is crucial. Seeing your dentist in Watkinsville regularly allows them to identify and treat issues before they threaten your oral health and well-being.
Another part of preventive dentistry is offering custom sports mouthguards to help your family avoid injuries to the mouth and teeth. We can also prescribe a night guard to protect your teeth against damage caused by nightly teeth grinding and bruxism.
Restorative Dentistry Returns Your Smile to Full Health
Having a smile that functions comfortably and allows you to eat and chew healthy and nutritious foods without pain is crucial. Restorative dentistry focuses primarily on returning your teeth to full health and function after damage due to decay, infection, tooth loss, or injury.
At Athens Oconee Dentistry, we offer a selection of tooth restorations, including tooth-colored fillings, crowns and bridges, and dental implants. Our dentist has impeccable standards for creating high-quality, durable restorations that look natural, beautiful, and function comfortably.
Other services that fall under restorative dentistry are root canals to treat infected teeth and tooth extractions to remove unsalvageable teeth.
Cosmetic Dentistry for a Stunning Smile
You deserve a lovely, confident smile that’s a pleasure to share, and we are pleased to offer the services to help you attain it. Cosmetic dentistry includes any treatment mainly focused on improving your smile’s aesthetics. We can provide a single service like teeth whitening, or combine two or more, such as veneers, and porcelain crowns, to help you achieve your dream smile.
Are you interested in creating the perfect, youthful-looking frame for your beautiful smile? We are also pleased to offer a wide range of aesthetic facial treatments, such as BOTOX®, dermal fillers, Evoke, and Morpheus 8.
