At Peach Tree Center we offer a wide variety of services and amenities:
   

Preventive/General Care
Preventive dentistry has completely changed the treatment of disease. Our patients can live a full life without dental disease with proper dental hygiene at home and regular checkups. The new methods make treatment more comfortable and beneficial for both children and adults.

  • Regular Checkups
  • Fluoride Treatments
  • Hygiene -Continued Care
  • Natural Looking "Fillings"
  • Sealants - sealing pits that can harbor disease
  • Gum Disease Prevention - the leading cause of adult tooth loss - bleeding gums after brushing can be a symptom when caught early, we can intervene with new more comfortable procedures
  • Complete Examinations including occlusion analysis - how your bite, teeth and jaw come together
  • TMJ Treatment - relieving headaches, nausea, neck pains and earaches using therapies and tooth restoration to improve how your teeth and jaw function together. Without harmonious function, the jaw joint can cause pain and discomfort.

Porcelain Veneers
They are preferred by many of our patients because they can close spaces, increase length, create maximum whiteness, and straighten teeth. Veneers are also very durable. They can cover deep tetracycline stains. Veneers can sometimes allow patients to bypass orthodontic treatment. In as short as two visits you can have a confident and beautiful smile.

Not every smile can be straightened without orthodontic treatment, but many of our patients have gotten the smile they have always wanted with porcelain veneers alone.

Porcelain Crowns & Bridges
Missing, worn and broken teeth can be restored with a high-tech ceramic. Porcelain crowns and bridges provide a perfectly natural look because of their maximum light translucency and color. They are almost indistinguishable in strength and durability from natural teeth. Our technique, called the "WOW" crown, creates crowns that are proportioned for a full, beautiful smile.

Contouring/Bonding
This high-tech ceramic material is artistically applied layer by layer and fuses to your teeth and creates a strong and durable bond, almost like your natural enamel. Spaces in your smile can be eliminated and your teeth lengthened with this contouring material. It comes in many shades including a shade for those who want a bright white smile. Usually minimal tooth structure removal is required. In one visit you can have a wonderful new smile.

Composite "Fillings"
High-tech composites create a natural looking healthy alternative to metal fillings which can fill an otherwise bright smile with dark shadows. Conventional metal amalgam material can hide decay and weaken the natural tooth. Metal fillings are inserted (plugged in) usually after removing large parts of the healthy tooth. Over time, a crown may be needed because the tooth is weaker and can crack or break. New white composite fillings are "fused" to the tooth. Avoiding the need to remove large portions of healthy tooth can save more of your natural tooth for many years to come.

Smile Whitening
Professional whitening can enhance your smile very quickly with safe, dentist-approved methods. See your teeth brightened by at least two shades in as little as two weeks. We create whitening trays from models of your teeth which fit tighter than off-the-shelf products. Wear the trays at night or during the day. Off-the-shelf home bleaching can damage your gums and bleach unevenly.

Orthodontics - Braces
Dr. Woody's extensive experience in orthodontics and skills in restorative dentistry give patients more options than ever before. There are many new ways to approach orthodontic procedures. We will work with you to find the right one for you or your children.

Gum Contouring
Changing a gummy smile can change your outlook. Using the safe, precise, comfort-focused Lasik Laser, we can move up inconsistent gum lines that cause your teeth to look too long. Or, reduce a gum line that shortens teeth or crowds a smile. It is also performed during other more complex smile cases of severe decay or damage, where dental implants and bridges are used.

No-Drill Comfort
Now, we can spray away decay with the whisper quiet jet-spray of safe micro particles, many times without the need for numbing anesthesia. Imagine your dental experience without the noise, heat and vibrations of the dental drill. We are also able to use this device in many adult tooth restoration procedures to create more natural-looking esthetics.

Laser Treatments
We choose technology with our patients in mind. More specifically, we focus on achieving more comfort, convenience and accuracy. The laser technology we use has significant benefits in all three of these area plus other benefits. Because the laser is computer controlled it is has a high degree of accuracy. In treatment of diseased gum tissue or contouring to remove excess tissue, the laser is more comfortable and promotes faster healing than conventional methods. It also reduces bleeding.

Intraoral Camera
The intraoral camera, about the size of a pen, lets our patients see up-close, exactly how their smile looks and the condition of their teeth. The image of old restorations or damaged teeth are projected onto a screen so our patients know they're getting the care they deserve. Dr. Woody also uses it as a diagnostic tool that more closely detects smile inconsistencies and tooth structure deterioration.

Safety At All Times
Our sterilization and disinfecting methods meet or exceed government regulations. Instruments not disposed of are heat sterilized using autoclaving technology. Operatories and exam room fixtures and furnishings are continually cleaned and disinfected. We also wear masks and gloves during your treatment.

Video Presentation
Once patients understand the first step, there are usually more questions. After your smile consultation at Peach Tree, we provide education to understand our recommendations and the technology that helps us achieve the results you desire. In our reception area, you can preview other smile design or restoration possibilities.
