Preventative Care & Dental Hygiene in Atlanta, GA

At Heart of Vinings Dentistry, we prioritize educating you about how your oral health impacts your overall well-being. Our complete health dentistry goes beyond just bi-annual visits; we work with you to establish a tailored home care routine. During each appointment, you’ll receive a revitalizing cleaning, a thorough dental exam, and digital X-rays when needed. 

Regular visits help reduce the risk of serious dental issues, saving you from more costly treatments. Our main goal is to prevent disease and keep your smile healthy and stunning for years to come with general dentistry.

The Dental Exam

During your first visit, a full set of digital X-rays will be taken, followed by a comprehensive examination by Dr. Patel. This exam is essential for accurately diagnosing any gum disease and identifying any teeth that may require additional care. 

Research has shown that gum disease can negatively affect overall health, contributing to conditions such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and respiratory disease. Therefore, routine dental exams are crucial for maintaining both oral and overall health.

The Cleaning

Dr. Patel will thoroughly discuss his findings with you, using visual aids to help you better understand your oral health. He will also recommend the most appropriate type of cleaning based on your needs. 

While brushing and flossing remove most buildup, some tartar will inevitably form over time. Our hygienists are specially trained to remove this hardened tartar using advanced instruments, ensuring a clean foundation—especially if you're considering enhancements like teeth whitening.

Dental Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)

When tartar isn’t removed, it can lead to periodontitis, affecting your gums and bone health. Dr. Patel will evaluate the condition and recommend next steps, including a deep cleaning if needed. This process removes tartar and smooths tooth surfaces, promoting healthier gums—essential for further treatments like clear aligners. Our hygienists ensure a thorough and effective cleaning to support your oral health.

Prevention is Key

Dental sealants protect your molars by blocking bacteria from hard-to-clean grooves. They’re painless and easy to apply, and Dr. Patel will assess if you need them. Fluoride treatments strengthen teeth, making them more resistant to cavities from plaque, bacteria, and acids. 

Routine care is especially vital after treatments, such as a tooth extraction, to prevent future issues and maintain oral health.
