Our Services
At Athens Smiles, we understand that every patient is unique, which is why we offer a wide range of services to meet your individual needs. From routine cleanings and fillings to crowns, bridges, and implants, we are equipped to handle all aspects of your oral health. Our services include:
- Bonding: A conservative way to repair slightly chipped, discolored, or crooked teeth.
- Crowns & Bridges: Used to restore and enhance teeth that are damaged, or to take the place of missing teeth.
- Extractions: We prioritize your comfort throughout the procedure.
- Implants: When a person is missing one, or several teeth, dental implants are a wonderful way to anchor replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
- Sealants: Used to fill in narrow grooves in a tooth that cannot be adequately cleaned by brushing.
- Teeth Whitening: A popular procedure to make teeth whiter and brighter, and therefore more attractive.
- Invisalign: The process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth.
Our Philosophy
At Athens Smiles, we encourage our patients to take an active role in maintaining healthy teeth and gums. We believe that education is key to preventing dental problems like cavities and gingivitis. By teaching you how to care for your teeth, we can help you prevent injuries to your teeth and gums, so you can continue to enjoy a beautiful smile for years to come.
