A whiter, brighter smile is beautiful - it can help you feel better about yourself and make a memorable impression. Your lifestyle and the aging process can stain and darken your teeth.

Gummy smile lines and shortened teeth needlessly frustrate people wanting to achieve a beautiful smile. The smile lift procedure can help people enjoy smiling and posing for photographs for the first time. The procedure combines minor plastic surgical principles and cosmetic dental restorations. Shortened teeth are elegantly lengthened and gummy smile can be shaped to a predetermined design.
An integral part of maintaining your teeth for life is the removal of plaque and tarter on a regular basis. The frequency of your visits is based upon your individual needs and oral health. During your visit we will update your medical history, perform an oral cancer screening exam, check your teeth for cavities, review oral hygiene instructions, and monitor your periodontal (gum) condition. Fluoride treatments are provided for children under the age of thirteen and for adults when appropriate.
Now you can see what the dentist sees Intraoral video imaging involves the use of a miniature camera with a fiber optic light source that fits into your mouth and takes digital photographs of the teeth and gums. The camera is attached to a computer which allows the images of your teeth to be displayed on the computer monitor, allowing patients to see just what the dentist sees. With clear, defined, enlarged images we can also see details that could be missed by the standard mirror examination. This can mean a faster and more accurate diagnosis.
Some of the conditions we can see with an intraoral camera that are difficult to see with the naked eye include various types of oral pathology and lesions, broken filings and other types of restorations, cracked teeth, a variety of gum conditions and cavities in areas that are difficult to see and reach. You will be amazed by the quality of the images and just how diagnostic they really are.
We can also save the images for your patient records, which can Be used to show treatment results as well as communications with Other specialists, laboratories or insurance companies. A picture is truly worth a thousand words.
American Dental Association recognizes only nine specialty areas. Cosmetic dentistry, TMJ, implant dentistry, Neuromuscular dentistry and Aesthetic dentistry are not part of these nine specialty areas. While Dr. Shackelford is a general dentist that has received training in these areas, since there is no ADA recognition of specialty in these areas, Georgia rules require the following statement. "Cosmetic dentistry, TMJ, implant dentistry, Neuromuscular dentistry and Aesthetic dentistry are specialty areas not recognized by the ADA that requires no specific educational training to advertise this service".
