Gentle dental care is central to our practice philosophy for every patient, but especially for kids. Everyone who aids in your dental care strives always to use the gentlest touch possible, and we make our office very kid-friendly. Our experienced hygienists are constantly praised by our patients for their skill, speed, and soft touch. We offer gentle non-surgical laser dentistry treatment for gum disease to give you quality results with a minimum of discomfort.
And of course we understand that the expense of dental care can be a drain on your budget, so we work hard to keep our costs down. Remember: quality dental care that gives years of great results is less expensive than cheap dental work that may need to be redone at regular intervals.
He attended North Carolina Central University (NCCU) in Durham, where he graduated summa cum laude with a degree in biology and a minor in chemistry. He then earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry.
After graduation, Dr. Chikwava worked as a public health dentist at Council Bluffs Community Health Center in Council Bluffs, Iowa. He was named the dental director when the facility was renamed the All Care Health Center. He also served as vice president of the Southwest Iowa Dental Association.
Dr. Chikwava prides himself in his dedication to achieving great results in all he does. He has dubbed himself a continuing education (CE) connoisseur as he takes over 100 hours of CEs a year (as opposed to the twenty required). He has taken multiple courses in orthodontics (Traditional braces and Invisalign) endodontics (Root Canals), Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry just to name a few. He loves placing implants and creating smile makeovers. His training through the Las Vegas Institute (LVI) has made him an industry leader in cosmetic dentistry and Temporomandibular (TMJ) disorder treatment. Dr. Chikwava is a member of the American Dental Association, International Association of Orthodontics, and the local Northwest Georgia Dental Study Club.
Dr. Chikwava, now a Dalton resident, has been heavily involved in the community. He sponsors a program at the Mack Gaston Community Center called Level Up. This program provides community youths access to leadership training along with keeping them educationally occupied during the summer months. He is also very active with the free dental day (Give Kids a Smile) that is run at the office annually. Beautiful Smiles is also a major sponsor of the Dalton and Calhoun High School Football Teams.

I absolutely love it here!!! My teeth always feel squeaky clean after leaving here. Wendy B. does an awesome job! She's kind and gentle on my teeth and gums. She reinforces good healthy hygiene habits but isn't too pushy about it.

I scheduled an appointment for my husband to get his wisdom teeth removed. I made sure they took our insurance and gave them all the insurance information. When he went to the appointment they claimed he did not have any insurance. They were very rough with him and the stitches they did came out the next day so he now has 2 holes in his gums

I haven't been there in 3 years. Received a bill yesterday for something from 2019 that I wasn't even told about until now. The last 2 fillings came out after 3 months and those 2 teeth broke. I had to go to another dentist to fix what he had done. I have kept quiet until I got the bill.

I first went to Aspen Dental where they tried to charge me twice what beautiful smiles quoted. They did a more thorough exam and explained what really needed to be done and what didn't.
