Dr. Greene has undergone years of advanced training in this treatment technique. He can fit you with a custom-designed nightguard that will open up your upper airway during the night so you can snore less and sleep soundly.

Lawyer Quinn is a longtime patient of ours who hated using a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine to treat his sleep apnea. When Dr. Greene introduced him to oral appliance therapy as an alternative to CPAP, he was elated. Thanks to his oral appliance, he now snores less and has much more energy during the day.

Dr. Greene is awesome. He is much more than a dentist. He is a trusted friend. He sat and talked with me about my upcoming retirement. He assessed my mouth sore and gave me what I needed to get a good night's sleep again. Great visit. Great people. Thank you to Allison for her help over the phone and getting me in within 24 hours.

I've been a patient for well over a decade now. This is NOT a corporately owned business, which is a major plus for me!! The staff is always friendly and professional. They are truly concerned about your needs and always have the right solutions. The equipment used is state of the art and the facility is always clean and bright. If you are looking for a dental practice, I highly recommend your joining this family.

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that affects your sleep cycle and your normal breathing routine. It causes you to literally stop breathing for 10 to 90 seconds at a time. This occurs many times during your sleep.

When you stop breathing, your oxygen levels drop and your heart rate goes up. This can happen hundreds of times per night and puts unhealthy stress on the heart. It has been medically documented that this leads to high blood pressure and several other health problems.

Central sleep apnea is very rare. With central sleep apnea, breathing ceases during the night because the brain fails to send proper signals to the muscles. Central sleep apnea is a complex neurological disorder that only highly specialized sleep doctors are qualified to treat.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is far more common. Obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which breathing is interrupted during the night because the soft tissues of the mouth and throat block the upper airway. Our dentist can treat obstructive sleep apnea with oral appliances.

A good night's sleep is essential to having enough energy to get through the day. When you work with our Stockbridge practice and receive a custom-made oral appliance, you'll be able to sleep soundly through the night. Many of our Atlanta-area patients are amazed at how much more alert they feel and how much their moods improve once they address obstructive sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea is associated with numerous health problems, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. By opening your airway during the night, you can reduce your risk of developing these conditions.

Obstructive sleep apnea doesn't only affect you. If you share your bed with a partner, or even if you just have other family members in your house, the extreme snoring caused by obstructive sleep apnea can keep them up at night as well. The oral appliances designed by Dr. Greene at our practice in Stockbridge, GA, effectively reduce snoring, so everyone in your home will enjoy more peaceful nights.

Oral appliance therapy is the preferred treatment method at our practice in Stockbridge, GA. Dr. Greene can design an oral appliance that repositions your lower jaw, tongue, soft palate, and uvula to keep the airway open during sleep. This therapy is non-invasive and can be highly effective for both sleep apnea and snoring. Also, the oral appliances we craft are very comfortable. After a few weeks, wearing the appliance at night will feel like second nature.

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is provided by a bedside machine that delivers pressurized air through a tube that connects to a mask covering the nose. CPAP is a well-known treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, and it does keep the upper airway open effectively. However, CPAP machines can be cumbersome, loud, and uncomfortable. Many patients from the Atlanta area contact Dr. Greene because they are seeking an alternative to CPAP.

Home sleep tests are becoming the standard method of testing for Medicare and most PPO medical insurance companies. We will partner with your primary care doctor to get coverage details and other required documentation. The out-of-pocket costs for an at-home sleep test are generally lower than the costs of going to a sleep center.

How do at-home sleep studies work? They're simple. All you have to do is wear a device during the night that will monitor your heart rate and breathing patterns while you sleep. The device collects data that Dr. Greene and your primary care doctor can use to determine if you have obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, or some other sleep disorder.

Sleep apnea can affect anyone, but certain populations are at higher risk of developing obstructive sleep apnea. Overweight people, older people, smokers, and men are more prone to developing obstructive sleep apnea.

According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, adults with sleep apnea are more likely to have heart disease, high blood pressure, asthma, atrial fibrillation, cancer, chronic kidney disease, eye disorders, metabolic disorders, and more.

Absolutely. Obstructive sleep apnea causes snoring because the soft tissues of the throat vibrate when they block the airway. By opening up the airway with an oral appliance, you can greatly reduce your snoring.

Cosmetic dentistry is the treatment ofconditions in the mouth for aesthetic purposes.While several cosmetic procedures may have added health benefits, they mainly focus on improving the look of your smile by treating your teeth and gums.

A cosmetic dentist has the same core training as general dentists for basic treatments such as routine cleanings. However, cosmetic dentists like Dr. Greene spend more time and effort perfecting their techniques for cosmetic treatments when compared to general dentists. For this reason, patients should seek a trained cosmetic dentist like Dr. Greene to receivethe best value and results from each treatment.

Being a good candidate for cosmeticprocedures depends on your current state of oral health. It is important for patients to have a healthy foundation in order to enjoy long-lasting results. Our dentist can include the procedures needed to improve your oral health while developing your overall treatment plan.

While cosmetic dentistry can conceal minor blemishes, it is not designed to treat major oral health concerns such as missing teeth. Patients in the Stockbridge area with gaps in their smiles due to missing teeth can address tooth loss with a bridge or denture. If you are interested in the extensive benefits of implant-supported restorations, we will work with a trusted oral surgeon to coordinate your dental implant surgery. Dr. Greene can then complete your dental implant procedure with a custom crown, bridge, or denture.

Our dentist can improve the brightness of your smile with professional whitening, treat and protect a compromised tooth with a dental crown, or replace a missing tooth with a custom-crafted implant-supported crown. No matter what care your smile needs, our cosmetic dentist can help.

I want to share my experience with Dental group South. I will start with the front staff they are so nice, cheerful, and welcoming. Dr. Greene was great as well being honest and concerned about my needs. I was so nervous about going. Courtney eased my concerns she was so gentle, sweet, and made me feel at ease. She did a wonderful job. Thank you for the great service everyone.

In the past, the only option for a single missing tooth was a traditional dental bridge. While effective and affordable, bridges cannot offer the same level of stability and oral health benefits provided by an implant-supported crown.In order to place a bridge, Dr. Greene must alter the teeth on either side of the gap in your smile.

For an implant-supported crown, a dental implant is placed into the jaw to act as an artificial tooth root. Then, Dr. Greene can attach a custom dental crown to restore the appearance and function of your smile.

While dental fillings, inlays, and onlays can treat minor cavities and trauma, they are often insufficient to address more significant issues. Worse, leaving decay or trauma untreated can cause the concern to deteriorate, requiring more extensive and costly treatment in the future.For many patients, dental crowns provide a comprehensive level of support to protect a damaged tooth and prevent further damage.

However, there is a chance that you will experience some mild sensitivity after receiving a temporary or permanent crown. This symptom typically resolves within a few days. You can minimize discomfort by avoiding very hot or cold foods and chewing on the other side of your mouth.

A porcelain veneer is a thinceramic shell that fits over the front of a tooth. A small amount of tooth enamel is removed to accommodate the dental veneer andachieve a natural appearance. Usually just 1/2 mm of enamel is removed, which is roughly the thickness of your fingernail.

Veneers offer a beautiful solution for a variety of imperfections, including chips, gaps, cracks, and misalignment. Dr. Greene can also use veneers to address stained teeth that do not respond to teeth whitening.

Dr. Greene, Lori, and his entire staff are great. I have been seeing Dr. Greene for 23 years, and, obviously, I have been very pleased. The team at Dental Group South is very professional, helpful, attentive, and friendly. I would highly recommend Dr. Greene.

Before traditional veneers are placed, a small amount of enamel must be removed to achieve a natural appearance, sopatients with very worn or thin enamel might not be eligible. Those patients can ask aboutminimal and no-prep veneers, such as Lumineers.

The clenching and grinding that characterizes bruxism can fracture porcelain. Patients can often protect their veneers with oral appliances. In other cases, your dentist might recommend resolving the issue before placing veneers.

While veneers can conceal small gaps and minor misalignment, severely crooked teeth might require orthodontic treatment for the best results. Dr. Greene can assess which treatment option is right for your needs during your visit.

Veneers require permanent modifications to your teeth. This means that any teeth treated with veneers will always require some sort of restorationin the future. Minimal-prep veneers can provide a reversible alternative for candidates that qualify.

I've moved to the are a few years ago and kept my dentist in north ATL as I couldn't find any good dentist here. But now after giving it a shot with Dr. Green - best experience ever!! Love the professionalism and personal approach. Lori did a great job with such a gentle yet thorough cleaning. We'll be sure to be back

Until recently, veneers could appear too perfect, unnatural, or bulky. However, thanks to advances in dentistry and state-of-the-art materials, today's veneers are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.

Each patient's results will vary depending on their individual goals, but you can generally expect a brighter, more balanced, and more youthful-looking smile when you work withour practice in Stockbridge, GA.

To begin the treatment process, our dentist will carefully remove a small amount of enamel from the surface of each treated tooth. This ensures the veneers can lay flat on the teeth for a natural look.

Once each treated tooth is prepped, our dentist will take impressions of your teeth to send to a trusted off-site dental lab. We will then place temporary dental veneers, which will be worn until your final restorations are ready for placement.

Dental technicians will use the impressions of your bite to create your porcelain veneers at an off-site dental lab. We have a great relationship with our lab and can ensure fully customized results for each patient.

After about two weeks, you'll return to our office for placement. Dr. Greene will remove the temporary veneers and assess your final veneers for proper fit and aesthetics. If you are happy with the appearance, Dr. Greene will permanently bond the veneers to your teeth using specialized dental cement.

You can immediately enjoy all the benefits of your new smile. We will provide maintenance instructions to help your veneers last as long as possible. You must practice good oral hygiene and stay on top of your routine dental visits for the best results.

Even though porcelain veneers are carefully cemented in place, they can become dislodged. This is often the result of trauma to the mouth, teeth grinding, or severe wear and tear. If one of your dental veneers has come loose, Dr. Greene can help secure it back in place like new.
