A smile is such a simple gesture, yet it holds so much power. It is innately human - a universal way to convey happiness, greet one another and signal that we're nice people. Smiles communicate how we're feeling and are great for breaking the ice or awkward moments. A good-natured smile moves mountains, but if you're like the average person, it may not be perfect. And that's okay. But is it healthy?
Studies from the CDC show that 1 in 4 U.S. adults from 20 to 64 have cavities. Perhaps even more surprising is that approximately 34 million school hours are lost every year due to emergency dental care. For children, missing time could mean the difference between moving forward and being held back.
If you're one of the many people who feel ashamed about their teeth, need preventative oral care, or suffer serious issues like tooth decay, it's time to protect your teeth and gums. Luckily, Merchants Walk Dental is here to serve you with the highest quality dental work in East Cobb, from preventative care to cosmetic dentistry.
At Merchants Walk Dental, your healthy teeth and gums are our passion. Our dentists and hygienists are committed to providing you with the best dental care possible in a comfortable, stress-free setting. Since opening in 2017, we have become the premier dentist in Alpharetta, GA, offering many dental services such as:
As experts, we know how important oral hygiene is for your health. We feel that it's important to go the extra mile to speak with our patients about the best practices involved with brushing, flossing, and healthy gums. We know what an impact a beautiful smile can make, which is why we are so dedicated to providing our patients with cleaner, straighter teeth than ever before.
Having served Georgia and East Cobb for years, we understand that no two patients will ever have the same needs. That's why we provide personalized services like cleanings and root canals tailored to each patient's unique needs. We also know that money doesn't grow on trees, so we accept most major dental insurance plans to ensure you can keep your teeth clean and healthy all year long.
If you're searching for an expert team of friendly dentists and hygienists, look no further than Merchants Walk Dental. We pride ourselves on the best dental care coupled with warm, engaging customer service. You can rest easy knowing you're in capable, welcoming hands whether it's your first or fortieth visit to our office.
Here at Merchants Walk Dental, we understand that getting your teeth cleaned isn't something everyone looks forward to. However, getting regular teeth cleanings performed by a trustworthy dentist is the best way to maintain a healthy smile and avoid serious oral hygiene issues. And while it's easy to avoid the dentist, doing so for too long can be bad for your overall health.
Studies have linked poor oral hygiene to serious problems like cancer, cardiovascular disease, bone loss, and strokes. If you're flossing and brushing at home twice a day, that's great. Doing so is the best way to get a leg up on critical oral hygiene problems. However, getting your teeth cleaned by a dental hygienist helps ensure your teeth are thoroughly cleaned, healthy, and protected.
It's a question we get all the time - what is periodontal treatment? This treatment focuses on your gums and preventing the common diseases that attack them. When left unchecked, plaque accumulates and hardens, forming hard-to-remove tartar. This tartar irritates your gums and will eventually lead to a litany of problems like tooth decay, tooth loss, and more.
During your teeth cleaning session at Merchants Walk Dental, we'll examine your gums closely to ensure they're healthy and functional.
Each of our teeth cleaning appointments has comprehensive check-ups, including:
The only surefire way to prevent tartar buildup and, by proxy, gum disease is by brushing and flossing diligently at home. If you have been slacking on regular brushing and have not visited a dentist recently, your gums could be suffering. If you have any of the following signs of gum disease, contact Merchants Walk Dental to schedule a dental exam in Alpharetta, GA:
If you have had a cavity filled before, you're not alone. Tooth decay affects more than 90% of adults over the age of 40 - a stunning statistic that, in many cases, is entirely preventable. At Merchants Walk Dental, we use composite resin fillings to keep our patient's teeth healthy and functional. Unlike amalgam fillings, composite fillings are more discreet, match the color of your teeth, and are free of mercury.
While fillings can have a few uses, our doctors typically use fillings to âfillâ a part of your tooth that is decaying. This hole of decay is called a cavity. Sometimes, fillings are also used to fix broken, cracked, or worn-down teeth from grinding and nail-biting. Fillings are a great way to restore decaying teeth to their normal shape and function while preventing sensitivity and inhibiting further decay.
During your dental exam at our office in East Cobb, your dental hygienist will check for signs of cavities and tooth decay to ensure your oral hygiene remains in peak condition.
Abscesses- Without professional dental treatment, infected teeth lead to dental abscesses, which can be fatal if left untreated.
Nerve Pain- When your tooth is cracked and left without treatment, it can make its way to your nerve, resulting in extreme pain and damage.
Substantial Decay- If you leave an infection to fester without having a root canal, the infection can spread to other teeth in your mouth. If you don't address the initial signs of decay, you'll have to undergo treatment for multiple teeth.
Tooth Loss- Extensive decay and trauma often cause damage to your tooth's pulp. Our root canal treatments in Alpharetta remove this infected pulp. However, if you choose to ignore the problem, the infected pulp will rot your entire tooth, causing you to lose it forever.
One mention of the word root canal can send shivers up the spine for many people. Root canals get a bad rap, but the treatment has come a long way over the last decade.
When tooth decay and infection are left to fester, it can wreak havoc on your oral hygiene. Often, root canals in cityname, GA, are the best choice for patients with extensively diseased teeth. The goal of a root canal is to save and repair teeth by removing the infection from the pulp and nerve of the tooth.
Signs of tooth decay that may require a root canal include:
When a substantial cavity threatens a person's tooth and fillings aren't working, many dentists will use crowns to fix the problem. A crown is an aesthetic cap or a tooth-shaped covering placed over another tooth or implant for stability. Typically, crowns improve appearance and strength of a patient's teeth.
Crowns are also used to restore the size and shape of damaged or chipped teeth. When used for this purpose, dental crowns are usually bonded to the tooth using dental-grade cement.
During your dental exam and cleaning, your hygienist will keep a sharp eye out for signs of tooth decay, which may require a crown. Benefits of dental crows from Merchants Walk Dental include:
Restorative dental treatments can be complicated, but dental crowns are straightforward and minimally invasive. During the process, your tooth's enamel is cleaned, and your damaged tissue is removed. Once that process is complete, we'll cast a custom crown for your tooth. While the crown is created, Dr. John Bishara or Dr. Milli Patel will provide you with a temporary crown for normal functionality.
Damaged enamel or structural damage can cause pain and sensitivity. Having a dental crown installed will help alleviate a good amount of your pain.
Our dental crowns are made with high-quality, long-lasting materials. With proper care and regular check-ups, they can withstand years of chewing, biting, and grinding.
When you lose one or more teeth, whether due to decay or another factor, it's important to fill the space where the tooth is missing. That's where dental bridges come in. Bridges are essentially fake permanent teeth used to fill holes caused by missing teeth. The false tooth is fused between two dental crowns giving it the bridge concept. Dental bridges are then typically anchored to healthy teeth using resin and cement.
The health of your teeth, their position, and the state of the surrounding bone will help our team determine if bridges are right for you. If not, dentures in Alpharetta, GA, might be a better option. Dentures come in two forms: partial and complete. Dentures are best for patients who have missing teeth but aren't able to use bridges. Complete dentures all your missing teeth, while partial dentures replace one or two teeth.
Getting cosmetic dentures can be a life-changing experience. It often requires physical and emotional preparation. At Merchants Walk Dental, our team will take as much time needed to consult with and prepare you for your denture procedure.
Whether you need dental bridges or cosmetic dentures, we're here to help make your experience as seamless and stress-free as possible.
Dental implants are needed when you have missing teeth, but you cannot or will not get crowns, bridges, or dentures. Failing to replace a lost tooth will cause a bevy of problems as time goes on. For many patients, dental implants are the best option for replacing missing teeth. With dental implants, you can replace a single tooth or multiple teeth. A dental implant serves as a permanent artificial root anchored into the jawbone.
When our team puts a dental implant in place, your jawbone grafts itself to the titanium post making it as strong as your original root and tooth. The result is a natural, beautiful, fully-functional set of teeth that lasts for years.
Establishing healthy dental habits early in life is key for long-term oral health and confidence. The best way to learn those habits is at home and in a dentist's office.
At Merchants Walk Dental, our goal is to foster long-lasting relationship with the families in our community who trust us to care for their children's dental health.
When you choose Merchants Walk Dental as your child's dentist, you can rest easy knowing we treat your loved one just like ours. Our professional hygienists and experienced doctors are trained and certified to give your kids a comfortable dental experience. We like to mix fun with education, putting your child at ease while helping them understand the importance of proper dental care.
Common habits like teeth grinding and thumb sucking can have profound effects later in life. Our doctors are keenly aware of these habits, and work hard to help you and your child develop creative solutions to halt that behavior.
Our pediatric dental services improve the health of your child's teeth and gums with:
Having served the East Cobb and Alpharetta for years, we know your dental needs are unique and different from your neighbor. That's why we offer a variety of dental services to address each patient's special circumstances, from standard cleanings to complex root canals. By using the latest innovations and techniques in dentistry, we can better serve each client on an individualized level, leading to better comprehensive dental care.

One of several office buildings in a sprawling Alpharetta office campus is scheduled for a foreclosure sale — despite remaining at full occupancy.
3750 Brookside Parkway has been declared foreclosable after a $11.9 million loan on the property has gone into default, according to a Fulton County public notice. It will go before a sale on April 4.
An affiliate of privately held real estate company OA Management, Brookside Parkway Partners, LLC, has owned the building since 2015, according to the county tax assessor records. It secured the loan that same year from The Brand Banking Co., which is now part of Renasant Bank after a merger, according to property deeds.
The original maturity date on the loan was August 2020, according to Fulton County property records. The loan was modified in 2020 to extend the maturity date by another 12 months. The borrower was responsible to pay all outstanding and unpaid principal payments, along with accrued and unpaid interest, by August 2021.
Brookside has attempted to work with the lender on extending the debt maturity, according to a statement by Brian Granath, a partner with OA Development, a sister company of OA Management. To date, the lender has been “unable and/or unwilling to work with us on this loan maturity.”
Renasant Bank did not respond to requests for comment.
The office is one of multiple buildings in the 204-acre Brookside Business Park near Georgia-400. Totaling around 105,240 square feet, 3750 Brookside Parkway was completed in 2001. The building is fully leased, Granath said in his statement to Atlanta Business Chronicle.
Several other office properties built within the same time frame make up Brookside Business Park. Brookside I and II, both five stories, are owned by Equus Capital Partners. Brookside Concourse, which comprises four buildings, is owned by Albany Road Real Estate Partners. The other buildings are not scheduled for foreclosure sales.
Last year, the Alpharetta City Council eyed the office park for a potential revitalization. There are more than 50 acres of surface-level parking lots within the development.
In November, the Alpharetta City Council approved a "small area plan" for the campus, which lays the groundwork for city staff to put together an in-depth overlay district for future Brookside development. It would set the allowable density and mix of uses for the area. Plans to improve sidewalks, add bike lanes and extend trail networks within the office campus were discussed.
The scheduled sale is an indicator of worsening economic conditions continuing to impact the commercial real estate sector in Atlanta and across the country.
Over the past 18 months, the U.S. Federal Reserve has elevated the benchmark interest rate by more than five times to curb inflation. Higher rates means that loans to finance new projects are costlier to secure, and all mortgages with floating interest rates — which is based on a financial index tied to the loan — are more expensive to pay off. Fewer investors and lenders are providing money for projects, but those who do expect their payments to arrive quickly and efficiently.
Further interest rate hikes are anticipated. Plus, the Fed’s decisions are complicated by the recent collapses of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. It must now balance adjusting rates to calm inflation while not exacerbating issues within the banking system.
Given the current economic cycle, defaults on loans are to be expected, according to a March research report from financial services company Moody’s Analytics. Many office properties in Atlanta have been put on watchlists by loan servicers in the past months for signs that an owner may not be able to stay current on their mortgage. A few have gone before foreclosure sales, including six office buildings in Downtown’s Peachtree Center portfolio and 10 acres in Downtown planned for a life sciences community.

In the spirit of March Madness, Urbanize’s first-annual Best OTP Downtown tournament is kicking off with 16 contenders vying for the prestige of being called the metro’s greatest. (Note: Seeding from 1 to 16 was determined by reader nominations this month, so no pitchforks, please.)
For each Round 1 contest, voting will be open for just 24 hours. Please, let’s keep the tourney fun and positive, as one OTP city center rises above the rest in very public fashion. The eliminations begin now!
....
ALPHARETTA (1)
Estimated city population: 66,000
Distance from downtown Atlanta: 25 miles
Secret sauce: In the opposite direction of Avalon, 120-acre Wills Park is the crème de la crème of city greenspaces, with a large dog park, public pool, 18-hole disc golf course, and an equestrian center considered among the Southeast’s best
How fitting the No. 1 seed in this quest for OTP Downtown greatness (as determined by reader nominations) is not only one of the largest cities but also has “Alpha” in its name. (Kismet?) Ask locals, and they’ll say downtown Alpharetta was sleepy—if not outright boring—not too long ago. That all changed in 2019, when the final components of Alpharetta City Center were opened on former parking lots and strip centers, lending the North Fulton city an open-container central green, dozens of new shops and restaurants, upscale apartments—and a new identity. Outward growth has only continued, with the city’s first boutique hotel, new mixed-use ventures, and now wildly expensive condos popping up on the Alpha Loop trail en route to nearby Avalon.

TRILITH (16)
Estimated city population: 1,000 (with a goal of 5,000 one day)
Distance from downtown Atlanta: 26 miles
Secret sauce: Nearby downtown Fayetteville, located just to the southeast, is small but charming in a more traditional sense. Just ask Zac Brown
It’s hard to believe that, as recently as 2017, the Town at Trilith was little more than rolling wheat fields—with a massive, growing filmmaking complex across the street. What’s sprouted from that fertile Fayetteville soil since then is a master-planned, 235-acre small town that’s leveraged Georgia’s booming TV and film industry (and tax credits) like no other, creating streets that brim with engaging residential architecture that stresses connections to greenspace and neighbors. Today, Trilith’s Town Centre counts a variety of businesses, including Amici Italian Café, Barleygarden Kitchen and Craft Bar, Hop City, Piedmont Wellness Center, and Nourish + Bloom, the South’s first autonomous grocery store. Trilith's first multifamily community, Premiere Lofts, opened in 2021. And another crucial component—the long-promised Trilith boutique hotel—broke ground last summer.

Alpharetta, GA – Tree Service Alpharetta today announced the launch of its urban reforestation program, aimed at increasing tree canopy cover by 30 percent. The initiative is part of the company’s mission to make Alpharetta greener and healthier for residents and visitors.
Tree Service Alpharetta is a locally-owned business that plants and maintains trees throughout the greater Alpharetta area. With over five years of experience, the company has become an arboriculture expert, providing tree services such as trimming, pruning, removal, and stump grinding.
The urban reforestation program will focus on increasing tree canopy cover in areas with little or no tree coverage, such as sidewalks, alleys, and parking lots. By planting more trees, the company hopes to reduce air pollution, improve water quality, reduce energy costs, and create habitats for wildlife.
“At Tree Service Alpharetta, we recognize the importance of trees in our environment and the benefits they provide to our community,” said Uwsauy Blkswe, CEO of Tree Service Alpharetta. “Our urban reforestation program is designed to help increase tree canopy cover in Alpharetta and create a healthier, greener city for all.”
To see how Tree Service Alpharetta maintains healthy trees, visit its website: https://www.treeservicesatlanta.com/alpharetta/.
To help fund the initiative, Tree Service Alpharetta is asking local businesses and individuals to donate funds or volunteer their time. All donations are tax-deductible and will go directly toward purchasing materials and plants needed for the project. In addition, volunteers can help with planting trees and caring for them in the future.
The company is also working with local schools and universities to educate students about the importance of trees and sustainability. Through educational programs, Tree Service Alpharetta hopes to inspire young people to become stewards of their environment.
“We believe education is key to environmental stewardship and conservation,” said Blkswe. “By engaging with local schools and universities, we can help spread awareness about the importance of trees in our communities and motivate the younger generation to take action.”

Tree Service Alpharetta’s reforestation program is expected to begin early next month. The company plans to plant thousands of trees in the coming year to reach its 30 percent canopy cover target by 2025. For more information about the project or how to donate or volunteer, please visit the company’s offices at 945 North Point Dr #1230, Alpharetta, GA 30022, United States.
