Helping Patients Achieve a Winning Smile Since 2017
We will make you Smile!
Dentist in Marietta, GA
A smile is such a simple gesture, yet it holds so much power. It is innately human - a universal way to convey happiness, greet one another and signal that we're nice people. Smiles communicate how we're feeling and are great for breaking the ice or awkward moments. A good-natured smile moves mountains, but if you're like the average person, it may not be perfect. And that's okay. But is it healthy?
Studies from the CDC show that 1 in 4 U.S. adults from 20 to 64 have cavities. Perhaps even more surprising is that approximately 34 million school hours are lost every year due to emergency dental care. For children, missing time could mean the difference between moving forward and being held back.
If you're one of the many people who feel ashamed about their teeth, need preventative oral care, or suffer serious issues like tooth decay, it's time to protect your teeth and gums. Luckily, Merchants Walk Dental is here to serve you with the highest quality dental work in East Cobb, from preventative care to cosmetic dentistry.

Teeth Cleaning in Marietta, GA for a Happier, Healthier You
Here at Merchants Walk Dental, we understand that getting your teeth cleaned isn't something everyone looks forward to. However, getting regular teeth cleanings performed by a trustworthy dentist is the best way to maintain a healthy smile and avoid serious oral hygiene issues. And while it's easy to avoid the dentist, doing so for too long can be bad for your overall health.
Studies have linked poor oral hygiene to serious problems like cancer, cardiovascular disease, bone loss, and strokes. If you're flossing and brushing at home twice a day, that's great. Doing so is the best way to get a leg up on critical oral hygiene problems. However, getting your teeth cleaned by a dental hygienist helps ensure your teeth are thoroughly cleaned, healthy, and protected.
What is Periodontal Treatment?
It's a question we get all the time - what is periodontal treatment? This treatment focuses on your gums and preventing the common diseases that attack them. When left unchecked, plaque accumulates and hardens, forming hard-to-remove tartar. This tartar irritates your gums and will eventually lead to a litany of problems like tooth decay, tooth loss, and more.
During your teeth cleaning session at Merchants Walk Dental, we'll examine your gums closely to ensure they're healthy and functional.
Each of our teeth cleaning appointments has comprehensive check-ups, including:
- Digital X-Rays of Your Teeth & Mouth
- Oral Cancer Screening
- Fluoride Treatments to Prevent Tooth Decay
- Dental Sealants to Back Teeth, If Needed
Signs of Gum Disease
The only surefire way to prevent tartar buildup and, by proxy, gum disease is by brushing and flossing diligently at home. If you have been slacking on regular brushing and have not visited a dentist recently, your gums could be suffering. If you have any of the following signs of gum disease, contact Merchants Walk Dental to schedule a dental exam in Marietta, GA:
- Red Gums
- Swollen Gums
- Bleeding While Brushing
- Bleeding While Flossing
- Sensitive Teeth
- Receding Gumline
- Moving Teeth
- Changes to Bite or Chewing
Taking Care of Tooth Decay: Fillings in Marietta, GA
If you have had a cavity filled before, you're not alone. Tooth decay affects more than 90% of adults over the age of 40 - a stunning statistic that, in many cases, is entirely preventable. At Merchants Walk Dental, we use composite resin fillings to keep our patient's teeth healthy and functional. Unlike amalgam fillings, composite fillings are more discreet, match the color of your teeth, and are free of mercury.
While fillings can have a few uses, our doctors typically use fillings to "fill" a part of your tooth that is decaying. This hole of decay is called a cavity. Sometimes, fillings are also used to fix broken, cracked, or worn-down teeth from grinding and nail-biting. Fillings are a great way to restore decaying teeth to their normal shape and function while preventing sensitivity and inhibiting further decay.
During your dental exam at our office in East Cobb, your dental hygienist will check for signs of cavities and tooth decay to ensure your oral hygiene remains in peak condition.
Abscesses- Without professional dental treatment, infected teeth lead to dental abscesses, which can be fatal if left untreated.
Nerve Pain- When your tooth is cracked and left without treatment, it can make its way to your nerve, resulting in extreme pain and damage.
Substantial Decay- If you leave an infection to fester without having a root canal, the infection can spread to other teeth in your mouth. If you don't address the initial signs of decay, you'll have to undergo treatment for multiple teeth.
Tooth Loss- Extensive decay and trauma often cause damage to your tooth's pulp. Our root canal treatments in Marietta remove this infected pulp. However, if you choose to ignore the problem, the infected pulp will rot your entire tooth, causing you to lose it forever.
Save and Repair Your Teeth with Modern Root Canals
One mention of the word root canal can send shivers up the spine for many people. Root canals get a bad rap, but the treatment has come a long way over the last decade.
When tooth decay and infection are left to fester, it can wreak havoc on your oral hygiene. Often, root canals in cityname, GA, are the best choice for patients with extensively diseased teeth. The goal of a root canal is to save and repair teeth by removing the infection from the pulp and nerve of the tooth.
Signs of tooth decay that may require a root canal include:
- Persistent Tooth Pain
- Extreme Sensitivity to Hot and Cold Food Items
- Pain While Eating
- Swollen Gums
- Severely Discolored Teeth
- Visible Decay or Not
Cover and Restore Teeth with Dental Crowns in Marietta, GA
When a substantial cavity threatens a person's tooth and fillings aren't working, many dentists will use crowns to fix the problem. A crown is an aesthetic cap or a tooth-shaped covering placed over another tooth or implant for stability. Typically, crowns improve appearance and strength of a patient's teeth.
Crowns are also used to restore the size and shape of damaged or chipped teeth. When used for this purpose, dental crowns are usually bonded to the tooth using dental-grade cement.
During your dental exam and cleaning, your hygienist will keep a sharp eye out for signs of tooth decay, which may require a crown. Benefits of dental crows from Merchants Walk Dental include:
Easy to Apply
Restorative dental treatments can be complicated, but dental crowns are straightforward and minimally invasive. During the process, your tooth's enamel is cleaned, and your damaged tissue is removed. Once that process is complete, we'll cast a custom crown for your tooth. While the crown is created, Dr. John Bishara or Dr. Milli Patel will provide you with a temporary crown for normal functionality.
Relieve Discomfort
Damaged enamel or structural damage can cause pain and sensitivity. Having a dental crown installed will help alleviate a good amount of your pain.
Long-Lasting
Our dental crowns are made with high-quality, long-lasting materials. With proper care and regular check-ups, they can withstand years of chewing, biting, and grinding.
Replace Missing Teeth with Dental Bridges or Dentures
When you lose one or more teeth, whether due to decay or another factor, it's important to fill the space where the tooth is missing. That's where dental bridges come in. Bridges are essentially fake permanent teeth used to fill holes caused by missing teeth. The false tooth is fused between two dental crowns giving it the bridge concept. Dental bridges are then typically anchored to healthy teeth using resin and cement.
The health of your teeth, their position, and the state of the surrounding bone will help our team determine if bridges are right for you. If not, dentures in Marietta, GA, might be a better option. Dentures come in two forms: partial and complete. Dentures are best for patients who have missing teeth but aren't able to use bridges. Complete dentures all your missing teeth, while partial dentures replace one or two teeth.
Getting cosmetic dentures can be a life-changing experience. It often requires physical and emotional preparation. At Merchants Walk Dental, our team will take as much time needed to consult with and prepare you for your denture procedure.
Whether you need dental bridges or cosmetic dentures, we're here to help make your experience as seamless and stress-free as possible.
The Ultimate Security: Dental Implants
Dental implants are needed when you have missing teeth, but you cannot or will not get crowns, bridges, or dentures. Failing to replace a lost tooth will cause a bevy of problems as time goes on. For many patients, dental implants are the best option for replacing missing teeth. With dental implants, you can replace a single tooth or multiple teeth. A dental implant serves as a permanent artificial root anchored into the jawbone.
When our team puts a dental implant in place, your jawbone grafts itself to the titanium post making it as strong as your original root and tooth. The result is a natural, beautiful, fully-functional set of teeth that lasts for years.
Children's Dentistry in Marietta, GA
Establishing healthy dental habits early in life is key for long-term oral health and confidence. The best way to learn those habits is at home and in a dentist's office.
At Merchants Walk Dental, our goal is to foster long-lasting relationship with the families in our community who trust us to care for their children's dental health.
When you choose Merchants Walk Dental as your child's dentist, you can rest easy knowing we treat your loved one just like ours. Our professional hygienists and experienced doctors are trained and certified to give your kids a comfortable dental experience. We like to mix fun with education, putting your child at ease while helping them understand the importance of proper dental care.
Common habits like teeth grinding and thumb sucking can have profound effects later in life. Our doctors are keenly aware of these habits, and work hard to help you and your child develop creative solutions to halt that behavior.
Our pediatric dental services improve the health of your child's teeth and gums with:
- Dental Cleanings
- Digital X-Rays
- Preventative Dental Services
- Cosmetic Dental Services
- Sealants to Prevent Cavities
- Dental Emergencies

MARIETTA, Ga. — Marietta middle schoolers are achieving success through a mentoring program with the Chi Gamma Gamma Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated.
“This was born out of our African American advisory council. We noticed a trend with black male students coming from single parent households where only a mother was present and that’s when Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated stepped in,” said Marietta Middle School Principal Diona Brown.
Omega STEM, a program within the fraternity, meets students at Marietta Middle School twice a week.

Channel 2 Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell got an inside look at one of the visits.
From the classroom to a hands on aviation engineering experience, students learned how to build airplanes, how to operate them and more.
“Omega STEM is focused on building capacity within the youth here in Cobb County,” said Aaron Love, an engineer and a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated.
“They mentor the students, they are a male presence in their lives now and that originated out of the African American Advisory Council,” said Marietta Middle School Principal Diona Brown.
The African American Advisory Council is a group of Black individuals who monitor challenges they notice in the community of Marietta. They work collectively to solve those problems.
Principal Brown said the mentoring program started out small and quickly began to grow.
“We have roughly 40 7th and 8th grade boys that participate,” said Brown.
“We are building again confidence and capabilities with the young men to aspire,” said Love.
TRENDING STORIES:
Students see success that is attainable and realize they can be an engineer like Love or make Black history like retired Captain Tony Holder, who is an award winner and hall of famer. Captain Holder is also a member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated who mentors Marietta middle schoolers.
“One of my mentors was an original Tuskegee Airman and he always told me, ‘Tony, just like I’m helping you, I want you to reach back to others,’” said Holder.
“What’s been I think truly unique and amazing is we started with 20 and the students have actually recruited and brought in other students to join in the group,” Principal Brown said.
She says she has noticed a new attitude in her students. They are more confident and encourage other students.
“Discipline referrals have gone down significantly for our Black male students,” she said.
“We’ve had some that have expressed interest in going into law enforcement as a result of some of the mentors. We’ve had some students that have expressed interest going into engineering. We’ve have others who are thinking about pursuing a career in aviation,” said Principal Brown.
