How Often Do I Need a Cleaning?
/
We recommend that our Marietta patients visit us every six months for cleanings and exams. This allows us to stay on top of any changes in your smile. Plus, you can maintain healthier teeth and gums with tips and care directly from your trusted dentist.
The Mind-Body Connection Between Oral Health and Overall Wellness
The health of your teeth and gums has a strong influence on the health of your entire body. For example, patients with TMJ problems may experience symptoms like migraines, tinnitus, and vertigo. Or, those who have lost their teeth may not be able to chew, making it hard for them to receive proper nutrition.
Attending your appointments twice a year can also prevent you from needing treatment like root canal therapy or dental crowns. That's because our dentists can notice small problems and treat them before they worsen. They can also help keep your smile healthy enough to avoid any complications at all.
Even if you're not currently struggling with dental problems, the best time to seek care is always now. Our non-judgmental team is simply grateful for the chance to help you and maintain the health of your smile. If you do currently have a concern, we offer select same-day dentistry appointments, so treatment can happen sooner than you think.
What Can I Expect at a General Dentistry Appointment?
General dentistry maintains your oral health, staving off expensive restorative procedures and enhancing the cosmetic appearance of your smile.

View on GoogleI have never enjoyed going to the dentist and it is still not one of favorite things to do. But since it is a necessity, my Dentist of Choice is Atlanta West Dentistry. Dr. Travis Watson is my favorite dentist! I love the atmosphere of the office and staff is phenomenal. Shout out to Megan, who is my hygienist, who does a fantastic job! The entire staff is kind, compassionate and they work so well together. I highly recommend Atlanta West Dentistry! Try them and you will love them too.

At our Marietta dental office, you don't have to be nervous about your procedure. We feature quick anesthetic using The Wand for select smaller procedures, so you're never in pain.
For anxious patients, we can also administer relaxing sedation, with options like oral conscious sedation and nitrous oxide. Drs. Travis Watson and Cameron Watson completed training in sedation by the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation.
Instead of struggling with anxiety before your procedure, let us walk you through our sedation suite, as we do for all new patients on their office tour. Once you see how comfortable we make dentistry, you can rest easy knowing we'll prioritize your experience every step of the way.
Save Time, Money, and Stress With Regular Exams
Think of cleanings and general exams at our practice as an investment in your long-term oral wellness. They're a crucial tool for keeping your teeth and gums healthy and beautiful. They can also prevent expensive, time-consuming treatments down the line, such as periodontal care, dentures, and dental implants.
