There are many causes of stains on teeth. Over time, foods and beverages such as berries, sauces, coffee, and tea can stain the teeth. Smoking can not only wreak havoc on the body but can also leave yellow or brown looking teeth. These are just a couple of reasons patients in Monroe and the surrounding areas visit Social Circle to give their smiles an aesthetic boost. They can find safe and gentle teeth whitening treatment with Dr. Jones.


Dr. Jones is a general, cosmetic, preventive, and restorative dentist who is mindful of the effects dental treatments can have on the entire body. As a biological dentist, he knows the impact oral conditions and diseases can have on overall health and wellbeing. Dr. Jones believes in providing conservative, yet effective treatment. Therefore, he provides teeth whitening that is as safe, comfortable, and convenient as possible.


Dr. Jones recognizes the value of whitening the teeth in the comfort of your home. During a consultation, we will examine the health of the mouth, teeth, and gums. If you are a candidate for teeth whitening, we will devise a treatment plan. 


During the procedure, we take impressions of the dental arches. We use these molds to create customized whitening trays. We have several types of gentle professional grade whitening gel available. We will choose the right one for you and provide the trays as well instructions for whitening teeth at home. After a couple of weeks, you can embrace a smile up to eight shades brighter.
​

According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, a teeth whitening treatment can provide results for a year or two. To maximize results, we recommend brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing before bedtime. To maintain the longevity of your pearly whites schedule dental check-ups with Dr. Jones at least biannually. If you consume beverages such as tea, red wine, or cola, we recommend drinking through a straw to avoid tooth discoloration. Afterwards, we recommend brushing or rinsing your teeth. 


Do you want a more beautiful smile? Teeth whitening is one of the many treatments available at our Social Circle office to help you achieve that goal. Call 770-464-1900 today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Jones.

Finding safe and conservative dental care is often a top priority for patients in Social Circle and the surrounding areas. They can find this type of care as well as a welcoming dental team in their hometown at Brookstone Place. Dr. Jones and the team do all they can to ensure every patient will have a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable dental experience. We will explain how we ensure safe and conservative treatments.


Practicing Mercury Safe Dentistry 

Dr. Jones has created an office environment that is mercury free. This means he does not provide amalgam fillings, which are composed of about half mercury and other metals. Since amalgam can pose a danger to patients, he keeps it out of his office. Instead, he provides composite resin fillings. The dental material matches the natural teeth and is quite versatile. As a mercury safe dental practice, Dr. Jones has the training to safely remove and dispose of amalgam fillings. He can replace worn down amalgam fillings with composite resin, restoring health and natural beauty to the smile.

Exploring the Most Conservative Treatment


As a biologic and holistic dentist, Dr. Jones is concerned about the effects techniques, procedures, and dental materials can have on the overall body. When it comes to brightening a dull smile, Dr. Jones will recommend the most conservative treatment. He provides teeth whitening treatment that allows the brightness to return to the smile gradually. He chooses this alternative over a power bleaching session that uses strong chemicals that can irritate the gums. He will work with you to attain the smile of your dreams by providing an at-home whitening program. For treatment, Dr. Jones will take impressions of your mouth and use them to customize your whitening trays. Then he couples the trays with a professional grade whitening gel. We will encourage you to wear the trays daily to achieve optimal results. After a few weeks, you can embrace a smile up to eight shades lighter. 

Medications such as tetracycline may leave permanent tooth stains. When teeth whitening treatment may not be effective, Dr. Jones will consider dental veneers. He provides veneers that require minimal preparation, depending on the situation. When choosing the most conservative treatment, Dr. Jones considers the overall health of the teeth. Veneers are thin porcelain shells that are placed on the surface of the teeth. Porcelain looks like tooth enamel and blends well with the natural tooth color. If there is no tooth preparation necessary, you can walk away with the restorations after a single appointment. In other cases, the veneers may need to be fabricated at a dental laboratory. Once the veneers arrive, you can embrace beautiful results. 


These are examples of treatments of which Dr. Jones takes a conservative approach to dental care. To learn more about how Dr. Jones can help you attain a beautiful and healthy smile with the most conservative treatment, call 770-464-1900 to schedule a consultation appointment.

At our dental practice, Dr. Jones and our team provide cosmetic treatments that can improve your health and wellbeing.


Protecting Teeth

Porcelain dental crowns can be the ideal way to restore a tooth damaged from decay or trauma. We place these "caps" on the teeth, improving the health and beauty of the smile. We offer state of the art technology, to accommodate the individual needs of the patient. Utilizing CEREC technology, Dr. Jones can create your crown in our office during one appointment.  Dr. Jones will ensures a precise fit and deliver the desired result – a healthy and beautiful smile.

Brightening Teeth

Some patients are unhappy with the appearance of their smiles. After years of drinking tea and coffee, they may have stained teeth. They seek a solution that can deliver a beautiful, sparkling smile in a matter of weeks. Our at-home whitening treatment can deliver desired results as well as ensure the utmost convenience. 

During the procedure, Dr. Jones takes impressions of the dental arches and uses them to customize whitening trays. He will provide a bleaching agent best suited to your needs. You take the trays home, apply gel to them, and wear them daily when it is convenient for you. The brightness of your smile ultimately lies in your hands.


Restoring Teeth

Tooth loss affects patients of all ages. We offer several treatments that can restore missing teeth, including dental bridges, dental implants, and dentures. Dental bridges contain an artificial tooth to fill the gap left from a missing one. Dr. Jones places the crowns onto adjacent teeth to hold the bridge in place. Dental bridges can be ideal for missing one or two teeth. Another treatment for tooth loss is dental implants. Dr. Jones works with a specialist who performs the oral surgery, involving gently placing a titanium rod into the jawbone. After a few months of healing, Dr. Jones will add abutments and porcelain dental crowns to the implants to complete the procedure. Dentures can be an ideal solution for partial to complete tooth loss.


Your health is important to us. Protect your mouth, teeth, and gums as well as you entire wellbeing by considering dental treatment. Call 770-464-1900 today to schedule a consultation appointment with Dr. Jones.

To determine the most appropriate treatments for the smile, Dr. Jones will start with a full examination. Dr. Jones may take a series of x-rays and discuss with patients what displeases them about the appearance of their smile. He can then make suggestions based on this information to help patients feel attractive and stop hiding their smiles behind their hands. 

Full mouth reconstruction, or a smile makeover, is typically achieved by combining two or more of these procedures. Patients may want to work out a custom treatment plan if they intend to make dramatic changes to their smiles and address several issues at once. Our practice also offers sedation dentistry to make extensive treatments more manageable and comfortable for our patients.

The benefits of esthetic dentistry
Although esthetic dentistry, often called cosmetic dentistry, focuses on how attractive your smile can be, it can offer several benefits to your overall health and well-being. We notice confidence increases when a patient has his or her teeth whitened or walks out of our office with a beautiful porcelain veneer. A person with an attractive smile reaps several benefits. According to studies, the smile is one of the first features a person notices when meeting someone. Smiling releases endorphins, which boosts the mood. A confident smile might help you secure a job. By keeping the smile healthy, you can prevent oral conditions such as tooth decay. You also can prevent gum disease, the leading cause of tooth loss among adults ages 65 and older. 


Exploring the options
Esthetic procedures include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, crowns, inlays, onlays, dental implants, and bridges. We offer at-home teeth whitening treatment that allows you to gradually whiten your teeth and attain the smile of your dreams. Porcelain veneers are wafer thin shells placed on teeth that are discolored, misshapen, misaligned, or gapped. Crowns, inlays, and onlays can be fabricated in a single appointment by utilizing CEREC (Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic) technology and are used to treat decayed or damaged teeth. Dental implants are titanium rods placed into the jawbone during surgery that are eventually paired with porcelain crowns to restore beauty to the smile. Bridges contain artificial teeth and crowns to restore missing teeth. 

Do you think one of our esthetic dental treatments may be ideal for you? We would love to talk with you about the health and beauty of your smile. Schedule a consultation by calling 770-464-1900 today.

When a tooth is lost
You may believe that with 31 other teeth in your mouth, the loss of just one isn’t important. That is not true. A single missing tooth leaves more than a flaw in the cosmetic appearance of your smile. Your teeth rely on one another for structural support. When a tooth is missing, its neighbors gradually shift out of alignment. Now, in addition to a gap, you have crooked teeth. They create food traps that can lead to decay and gum disease, and make it more difficult to brush and floss efficiently. A full set of teeth also helps to maintain the balance of the bite. Depending on its position, a missing tooth may force you to chew on one side, causing usual wear, and possibly triggering TMJ disorders.

Bridging a divided smile
A dental bridge is a non-removable restoration that anchors an artificial tooth into place at the site of one that is missing. Teeth on either side of the gap are shaped and prepared. Then, Dr. Jones takes digital impressions of your mouth. A robust software application uses this information to design the crowns and attached pontic (artificial tooth). The bridge is fabricated from strong, lustrous ceramic, and cemented into place. In many cases, Dr. Jones can complete a dental bridge in one visit, using CEREC technology. The ceramic material looks very natural, and the bridge is metal-free and biocompatible. Dr. Jones provides instructions on home hygiene to keep your bridge sparkling clean and your mouth healthy. With good care, the bridge will last many years.


The sooner you have a missing tooth replaced, the better for your appearance, oral health, and whole-body wellness. However, please don’t hesitate to call Dr. Jones, even if it has been awhile since you lost the tooth. He will work with you to determine if a tooth bridge is your best option. Call Social Circle Dental at 770-464-1900 to schedule a consultation.

Watch what you eat – Sugar is in many of the beverages we drink and foods we eat, and too much sugar can lead to tooth decay. When you do consume foods or drinks with a high quantity of sugar, such as hard candy, cupcakes, soda, and fruit juice try to brush your teeth afterwards or rinse your mouth with water.


Proper care at home – Be sure that you're brushing and flossing, and be sure that you're doing it with the correct technique. Find a soft toothbrush and a brand of toothpaste that you like and use short, circular, and gentle motions to get rid of surface bacteria without damaging the gum line. Use floss to remove plaque that settles between the teeth. In addition, when was the last time that you replaced your toothbrush? If it's been more than two or three months, it's time to get a new one.


Cut the tobacco habits – Smoking and chewing tobacco are not just harmful to your overall health; they damage your mouth as well. The nicotine and tar can not only discolor your teeth, they also eat away at your gums, creating the perfect environment for plaque and bacteria to develop and grow.


Use your teeth properly – While your teeth are strong, they can break. Protect your teeth with a mouth guard when playing sports where you could be hit in the mouth. Also, don't use your teeth to open packaging or bottles and avoid chewing on hard items such as candy, pens, or ice.
​

Visit the dentist – Brushing, avoiding sugar and tobacco, and protecting your teeth at home are all essential to having a healthy mouth. Keeping up with your dental checkups is also critical. Dentists can catch potential problems before they cause bigger issues, they can provide tips for improving your at-home care, and you receive a professional cleaning that can't be replicated at home.


Dr. Jones believes that a healthy mouth is essential in having a healthy body and sense of wellbeing. He treats every patient with gentle care, a friendly nature, and in the least-invasive manner possible. Call today to schedule an appointment.
