For as long as I can remember, I have been drawn to healthcare to help others. I realized my childhood dentist had a friendly, long-lasting relationship with me and his other patients. That combination of relationship, care, science, and art drew me to dentistry. I love healthy white smiles!

I was raised in Lexington, Kentucky, and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Once I had completed my education at the University of Kentucky, I moved down to the Atlanta area because it was growing, and I have always had family here. Soon after moving to Atlanta, I met my wife Jennifer, and am now here to stay. We have two wonderful daughters that keep us active, Alaina (15) and Reese (13). I coach Reeses lacrosse team and exercise when possible.

What drew me to the North Atlanta area was the similarity it had with Lexington: friendly people, horse farms, and a perfect combination of city and country. It has been a joy being a part of the community in Fulton, Cherokee, and Forsyth counties. I have made many amazing relationships in our 19 years of dental care.

When you visitDr. Doug WorfulsDentist Officein Alpharetta for braces, Invisalign, or tooth bonding, he creates a 3D simulation of your mouth. Using this simulation provides him with a current 3D model of your mouth from which to work and a starting point to create simulations of how your dental work will look after the dentist completes the procedures.

The process of creating this 3D model of your teeth isnt just for the dentist. While the dental previews help them plan your customized treatment, the 3D models also help you, the patient. According to patient surveys, seeing the 3D model and the ensuing dental simulations of progress can help the patient feel more confident about starting the treatment. It boosts their self-confidence about the procedure and its potential outcome.

While you receive your results quickly with teeth bonding, braces, or Invisalign, which takes a much larger time commitment, Dr. Worful creates these digital 3-D images as a map of the different stages of teeth positioning. You might be surprised to learn that with Invisalign, the dentist does not move all your teeth at one time using the aligners. Dr. Worful, a Gold-plus Invisalign provider, typically creates a plan to straighten two at a time; this process requires about one year of treatment for an adult. Teens wear the aligners longer about the same length as metal braces two to three years.

Your teeth differ from the next persons, so your treatment may not progress as quickly as the 3D models simulated. Dont worry about that because it just means it will take a little longer to straighten them. Your dentist works with you until your straightening process completes.
