Get 50% Off Sedation Dentistry in Marietta, GA with Dr. Ruth Clemans

December 19, 2014

stk85221corGetting the dental care you need is a vital component of a healthy lifestyle. It is a well-known fact that oral health contributes to overall wellness, and the best way to ensure the continued health of your smile is to visit the dentist regularly for checkups and biannual cleanings. For many people, however, even something as simple as a hygiene visit inspires a feeling of nervous dread. More extensive procedures — including root canal therapy and extractions — may prompt even more negative feelings, including intense anxiety. Fortunately, Dr. Ruth Clemans offers a variety of sedation dentistry options, each providing a different level of calming comfort for patients who experience fear or apprehension in the dental chair.

Special Pricing on IV Sedation at Elite Dentistry

We believe that each and every patient deserves to enjoy a calm, relaxing, and pain-free dental experience. That is why we offer a full range of sedation dentistry options to patients who find it difficult to overcome dental anxiety and fear. IV sedation, in particular, is especially popular due to its completely calming effect. When the medication is administered, the patient is lulled into a serene state of “twilight” sleep; that is, you won’t necessarily be truly asleep, but you will most likely be unaware of the treatment being performed.

There are a variety of ways that sedation dentistry helps our patients find relief in the dental chair. This proven-effective, completely safe method is especially useful in the following cases:

  • Feelings of anxiety and nervousness regarding dental treatment
  • An overactive gag reflex
  • Negative associations with dental care due to previous experiences
  • Difficulty becoming or staying numb with local anesthetic
  • Discomfort when sitting still or lying down for extended periods of time
  • Children and adults with special needs

At the office of Dr. Ruth Clemans, your comfort and safety are our top priorities. Dr. Clemans is one of only a few general dentists in the state of Georgia who has been certified to administer IV sedation, and her advanced training in the field means that you can rest assured that you are in capable, experienced hands. Allow us to show you what a dental visit should be at Elite Dentistry with 50 percent off on IV sedation (a $550 value).

Restorative Dentistry in Marietta, GA: Dr. Clemans Rescues a Referee’s Smile

October 22, 2014

3 weeks post accident 1-30-09 011 seat date 1-18-10 008Bob is a referee for hockey leagues in his community, so it’s safe to say that he sees plenty of excitement and action on the weekends. In January of 2009, however, Bob experienced a kind of commotion he couldn’t have seen coming. During one of his games, an errant hockey puck struck his face at high velocity, instantly knocking out two of his top teeth and severely damaging others. The doctors in the emergency room hurriedly attempted to return the two front teeth to their sockets. Unfortunately, the ER doctors were trying to put the teeth into the wrong places, so they wouldn’t fit and could not be re-implanted. Bob called Elite Dentistry the next day, and Dr. Clemans was more than happy to help. Today, we’d like to share his story.

Rebuilding Bob’s Smile with Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry

Bob’s front two teeth were completely avulsed from his upper jaw. This means that the entire tooth, including the root, had been forcibly removed. In an emergency situation such as this, it is vital to act quickly; if a tooth can be placed back into its appropriate socket within 30 minutes, there is a chance that it might be saved. The tooth should be stored in a container of milk until you can reach your dentist’s office or carefully reinserted if possible. In Bob’s case, his injury was addressed by a medical doctor rather than a dentist, and his teeth were not viable for re-implantation. Fortunately, he called Dr. Clemans and the team at Elite Dentistry.

The first action Dr. Clemans took involved the stabilization of her patient’s mouth, taking into account the trauma that he had sustained and customizing a treatment plan to rebuild his dentition. She replaced his teeth with temporary restorations and saved three other teeth – all of which had suffered nerve damage – with root canal therapy and all-ceramic crowns. The missing incisors were then permanently replaced with dental implants and custom crowns as well. Chips and cracks in the lower teeth were repaired with bonding, and misalignment was quickly amended with ClearCorrect invisible braces. To complete Bob’s treatment, Dr. Clemans crafted a custom athletic mouthguard for use when he is refereeing in any sports arena. He loves his new smile, and is committed to keeping it whole and healthy with help from the team at Elite Dentistry.

Patient Case Study: How Dr. Clemans Helped LaFonda Smile on Her Wedding Day

September 20, 2014

_MG_6007 LaFonda Harrison final uppers 6-6-12Every bride wants to look her absolute best on her big day. From her beautiful dress to the most exquisite bouquet, every last detail must be perfect. For LaFonda, a bride-to-be in Marietta, GA, the one aspect of her appearance that concerned her most was her smile. Her teeth had become dull and damaged over time, and she was anxious to make sure that her wedding album photos reflected her natural beauty rather than a lackluster smile. Today, we’re honored to share the inspiring story of how Dr. Clemans and the team at Elite Dentistry helped this blushing bride look and feel amazing on her wedding day.

Overcoming Fear & Revealing a Beautiful Smile

Like many men and women with a fear of dental treatment, LaFonda had avoided seeking the care she needed due to a negative experience in her past. For more than 10 years, she had endured discomfort and aesthetic concerns related to her oral health and her smile. As her wedding day approached, however, LaFonda realized that something had to be done. She reached out to the experienced team at Elite Dentistry after reading some patient testimonials online; she knew that the dentist she chose would have to be understanding, compassionate, and genuinely caring in order to help her overcome her misgivings. Fortunately, that is exactly what she found with Dr. Clemans and her team.

LaFonda’s primary concern surrounded the condition of her front teeth. While she was experiencing multiple issues by this point, the appearance of her smile on her wedding day was constantly in the forefront of her mind. She worried about how her cracked front tooth and the general uneven appearance of her smile would look in the photos taken on her special day. After sitting down to talk with Dr. Clemans, LaFonda found herself feeling considerably more comfortable and optimistic. It turned out that the process required to transform and rejuvenate her smile wasn’t nearly as daunting or intimidating as she had expected. After a consultation with the team at Elite Dentistry, LaFonda’s treatment plan was coordinated and she was ready to see her new smile shine.

A Happy Ending and a New Beginning

Utilizing the latest in cosmetic and restorative dentistry technology, Dr. Clemans provided LaFonda with lifelike, all-ceramic crowns for her damaged front teeth. The difference was truly remarkable. The ceramic crowns were custom-crafted to promote an even, balanced, and natural appearance, allowing LaFonda to stand out on her wedding day for all of the right reasons.
