From the initial welcome at our front desk to your comprehensive examination in Dr. Smiths dental chair, you will encounter true, caring professionals when you visit our office. Our entire team is passionate about ensuring that our patients have an excellent experience during their time with us and that they continue to see remarkable results after they leave our Swainsboro office.
Our team is highly trained, with decades of experience in dentistry and patient service. We specialize in a variety of treatments, ranging from cosmetic procedures to restorative dentistry. We work regularly with people requiring reconstructive implants or dentures, as well as those who need more routine care like cleanings or take-home whitening kits. Patients come to us from across the region, trusting Dr. Smith and our team to keep their teeth looking and feeling healthy. We take that responsibility seriously. It is why we keep patient health and satisfaction at the core of our efforts.
We want you to have the smile you deserve, and even more, we want to be certain you understand how to keep that smile in ideal condition. Education is an essential aspect of patient care in our office. We take the time to explain each dental treatment in detail, so you will always know exactly whats happening inside your mouth and how you should proceed with proper self-care at home. If you have any questions about brushing and flossing, or if you are unclear about what a specific procedure entails, just ask Dr. Smith or one of our hygienists. We are always happy to help.

Before coming to Dr. Smiths office, she worked in the US Navy in London, as well as private and group practices both in the US and abroad.

We want to help you successfully accomplish your personal and professional goals and a happy smile can go a long way toward making that happen!
Give us a call today and well get started, beginning with a comprehensive dental examination. You will also have the opportunity to consult one-on-one with Dr. Smith, so you can let us know all about the smile you always wanted.
Everyone wants a movie star smile. Bright, white teeth can really make you stand out, look approachable, and project poise. We offer Opalescence teeth bleaching trays, which you can take with you to use in the comfort of your own home. You can whiten your smile at a time and location convenient to you. No extra dental visits required!
Dental veneers take the art of the perfect smile one step further. Hollywood glamour is possible, right here in Georgia! If you want a smile that shines, these thin layers of natural-looking porcelain will create exactly the look you want: a gorgeous, pearly white smile with an even tone and beautiful luminescence. The smile of your dreams is within reach!
Certain procedures may require the exposure of more tooth below the gum line. This gives Dr. Smith additional room to perform restorative and cosmetic dentistry techniques, such as the placement of crowns or porcelain veneers. Crown lengthening is a minor procedure that involves removing some of the gum tissue around one or more teeth. We are able to offer this treatment in our office, so you wont need to hop around from specialist to specialist.
Dental bonding is another wonderful, non-invasive way to adjust the aesthetics of your smile. We use composite resin that matches the color of your natural enamel. It can be used to fill in cracked or broken teeth, and when applied in thin layers, may even be used to cover severe stains on a tooths surface. We also use this simple procedure to gently alter the shape of a tooth when desired, and to fill in gaps between teeth.

Highly recommended! Everyone from the desk clerk to the dentist was polite and kind, it made a trip to the dentist much less nerve wracking. I was helped by Teresa and she explained the processes she was doing and answered every question that popped in my head. Dr. Smith was very pleasant and very clear in his explanations as well. Update- they are even better than I originally thought! I'm a nervous dental patient and when I went to get cavities filled they were a dream. They allowed me to listen to music with headphones to relax and told me what they were doing every step of the way. Seriously the most polite and professional dentist I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with.

My name is Terry Blount and I am a new patient of Dr. Smith. I first visited him four months ago and returned yesterday to have a tooth removed. From the first visit I really enjoyed the experience I had. But the visit yesterday with the extractions just put the icing on the cake for me. Dr. Smith and all of his staff are friendly and helpful. They all take the time to listen to me and explain everything. He removed the tooth yesterday and I felt no pain when he extracted it. I had to ask "Are you done already?". I recommend Dr. Smith and his GREAT staff to anyone needing a SUPER dentist. THANK YOU DR. SMITH AND ALL OF THE STAFF.

I go in to get my regular cleanings every six months and I don't leave without scheduling my next one. They make planned things very easy for me, but when I have an emergency I know that all I need to do is call and they will most likely be able to see me that very same day.

My husband, my kids, and I have been visiting Mark D. Smith DMD for over a decade. I love it there. It's more than just the work they do, it's the fact that they know me. It's personal to them and to me.
