Comprehensive Dental Checkups and Cleanings at Riverwood Dental

Having your teeth professionally cleaned and checked once or twice a year is not only beneficial to your oral health, but it can benefit the health of your entire body. Riverwood Dental in Vinings, GA, provides comprehensive dental checkups and cleanings as part of our extensive menu of dental services in the Cumberland area. Our family dental practice understands the importance ofΒ preventive dental care. Regular cleanings and checkups are the key to keeping your mouth healthy at any stage ofΒ life.

We have a caring team of dental professionals who are committed to providing a rewarding routine visit for each member of your family. These visits include a thorough cleaning of your teeth and a gentle checkup of your entire mouth. A professional teeth cleaning removes any damaging plaque or tartar that has built up on your teeth over time. Plaque is made up of thousands of bacteria that will eat away at the tooth enamel if not removed. A cleaning from your dentist is the only way to remove plaque once it has hardened on your teeth and gums. Regular cleanings and exams help you avoid decay, gum disease and other disruptive dental issues down theΒ road.

Why Regular Cleanings and Checkups Matter

  1. Plaque and Tartar Removal
    Professional teeth cleaning eliminates plaque and tartar buildup, preventing bacterial growth that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
  2. Preventive Dental Care
    Routine checkups help identify potential dental issues early, preventing more significant problems down the road.
  3. Oral Health and Overall Well-being
    We recognize the connection between oral health and overall body health, emphasizing the importance of regular dental visits for holistic well-being.

For years, I avoided going to the dentist because of a traumatic experience that left me with a lot of anxiety. Walking into Riverwood Dental for my initial evaluation was emotional I actually cried but from the moment I arrived, the entire team made me feel safe, welcomed, and cared for. The dentist took the time to listen, explain everything thoroughly, and create a personalized treatment plan to restore my dental health. Every member of the team from the front desk to the dental assistants and the dentist worked together seamlessly to make each visit a positive experience. I already had a nice smile, but thanks to Riverwood Dentists, I now have a healthy smile too. I am incredibly grateful for their compassion, professionalism, and exceptional care. I highly recommend Riverwood Dentists to anyone, especially if dental anxiety has kept you away from getting the care you deserve.

Awesome first time experience at Riverwood Dental! The folks in the building lobby will help you find the suite if you get turned around like I did! Appointment was right on time and straightforward. They were transparent with pricing upfront and promptly verified insurance prior to the appointment. Gabby and Dr. Faulkner were very gentle and thorough with the exam/imaging/etc, and the view from the office was such a plus.

My experience here was amazing. As someone who has a fear of coming to the dentist I can say I was tested so kind and with patience. I was warmly greeted by Mya and Gabby, Sharon was so pleasant making me feel comfortable during my procedure and Dr. Faulkner was so kind and patient. I definitely recommend coming for your dental needs! Amazing staff!

My first visit to Riverwood Dental was an excellent experience from start to finish. The staff was amazing, knowledgeable, patient, and welcoming. The technology was very advanced, and I truly felt like my dental health was in great hands. They completed a thorough cancer screening, an excellent healthy cleaning, and quick X-rays. The staff took their time to ensure the X-rays were captured at the perfect angle and never made me feel rushed. The office itself is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, and the view of Atlanta from the chair was an unexpected bonus, making the visit even more relaxing. My boyfriend is already ready to switch to this office as well! If you’re looking for a dental office that combines professionalism, advanced care, and a wonderful atmosphere, look no further than Riverwood Dental.
