General Dentistry
When you visit our dentists regularly, we can catch small problems before they snowball—or even prevent them entirely.
From cleanings and exams to night guards, you can trust our dentists to provide you with effective care, while treating you with kindness and respect.
Our Marietta, GA, team at Atlanta West Dentistry offers comprehensive general dentistry for the whole family.
How Often Do I Need a Cleaning?
/
We recommend that our Marietta patients visit us every six months for cleanings and exams. This allows us to stay on top of any changes in your smile. Plus, you can maintain healthier teeth and gums with tips and care directly from your trusted dentist.
The Mind-Body Connection Between Oral Health and Overall Wellness
The health of your teeth and gums has a strong influence on the health of your entire body. For example, patients with TMJ problems may experience symptoms like migraines, tinnitus, and vertigo. Or, those who have lost their teeth may not be able to chew, making it hard for them to receive proper nutrition.
Attending your appointments twice a year can also prevent you from needing treatment like root canal therapy or dental crowns. That's because our dentists can notice small problems and treat them before they worsen. They can also help keep your smile healthy enough to avoid any complications at all.
Even if you're not currently struggling with dental problems, the best time to seek care is always now. Our non-judgmental team is simply grateful for the chance to help you and maintain the health of your smile. If you do currently have a concern, we offer select same-day dentistry appointments, so treatment can happen sooner than you think.
What Can I Expect at a General Dentistry Appointment?
We don't just look at your smile and send you home. Our Marietta, GA, dentists have a strategic approach to treatment:
General dentistry maintains your oral health, staving off expensive restorative procedures and enhancing the cosmetic appearance of your smile.

I have never enjoyed going to the dentist and it is still not one of favorite things to do. But since it is a necessity, my Dentist of Choice is Atlanta West Dentistry. Dr. Travis Watson is my favorite dentist! I love the atmosphere of the office and staff is phenomenal. Shout out to Megan, who is my hygienist, who does a fantastic job! The entire staff is kind, compassionate and they work so well together. I highly recommend Atlanta West Dentistry! Try them and you will love them too.
