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 “fill†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:

Conshohocken, PA – March 28, 2024 – Today, IKEA U.S. announced plans for a new Plan & order point with Pick-up located in Alpharetta, GA, which is set to open in summer 2024. This new customer meeting point, conveniently located in the Mansell Crossing Shopping Center, brings the IKEA experience closer to metro Atlanta area customers and will focus on providing interior design planning with IKEA experts.
The IKEA Alpharetta Plan & order point with Pick-up is one of many new format stores that are part of the growth strategy for IKEA U.S.—increasing accessibility to the brand and ensuring there are more ways to meet customers where they are and how they like to shop. It is different from the traditional large-format IKEA stores as it gives customers the opportunity to meet with the IKEA store team to plan and order home furnishing solutions that require a bit more help, such as kitchens, bedrooms, and bathrooms. It will offer items for delivery and pick-up, arrangements can be made to have all items conveniently transported to a customer’s home or the option to pick-up orders on site.
“The good news keeps coming! I couldn't be more thrilled to share our latest location for an IKEA Plan and order point with Pick-up in Alpharetta. It's all about bringing the magic of IKEA closer to customers, making it easier and more affordable to access our home furnishing products and solutions,” said Javier Quiñones, CEO & Chief Sustainability Officer, IKEA U.S.
IKEA has been in the Atlanta market for nearly 20 years, since opening the first store in Midtown in 2005. IKEA Alpharetta will be located in 4,306 square feet of leased retail space in an open-air, lifestyle retail center called Mansell Crossing at 7681 North Point Pkwy, Alpharetta, GA. By introducing IKEA Alpharetta, more customers in the Atlanta metropolitan area now have access to affordability and convenience. However, for their beloved meatballs and other IKEA Food offerings, customers will still need to make a trip to IKEA Atlanta.
“I'm beyond excited to welcome customers at IKEA Alpharetta this summer. No more trekking through that notorious Atlanta traffic—now you can enjoy IKEA and our inspiring home design with less hassle. The IKEA Alpharetta Plan and order point with Pick-up brings our signature styles closer to the community—making it more accessible, more convenient, and of course, more affordable,” said Brandon Lomax, Market Manager, IKEA U.S.
In addition to opening new Plan & order points in city centers, IKEA U.S. has made significant investments to enhance its e-commerce experience and service offerings, including new IKEA Family benefits, lower priced shipping and delivery, Click & collect, and TaskRabbit assembly services.

Although Alpharetta cracked the top 10, there were two metro Atlanta cities in the top 25.
ALPHARETTA, Ga. — With a booming population and a vibrant downtown district that has been revamped over the past decade, it's no surprise that Alpharetta made the cut as one of the top rising cities, according to Southern Living.
The magazine compiled a list of 25 cities after conducting an online survey among over 20,000 Southern Living customers, asking them to rate their favorite places across the South from July to August 2023.
The city of Alpharetta ranked in at No. 9 on the top 25 of "The South's Best Cities On The Rise 2024" list.
Southern Living wrote that Alpharetta "has become a walkable, family-friendly hub filled with restaurants and shops surrounding a central greenspace." With numerous restaurants, breweries and even a rooftop bar in the downtown area, the entire city also has roughly 750 acres of green spaces to take in and enjoy.
Alpharetta also features Avalon, a sprawling mixed-use area with high-end restaurants, shops, apartments, and a movie theater, which comprises 500,000 square feet of retail space. Avalon is just about a five-minute drive from Downtown Alpharetta.
In a 2022 study, Alpharetta came in as the 13th-largest city in Georgia -- totaling over 65,000 people and still growing.

Downtown Alpharetta
Whether you stay at Hotel Avalon or the recently built Hamilton, a 119-room hotel located in the heart of downtown, you are just a short walk or drive away from many different attractions.
The city of Alpharetta is also known for its beautiful greenery, which features trails along the Big Creek Greenway. There, you can take in the fresh air and also may run into deer, ducks and other wildlife.
Although it's just a short drive north of the hustle and bustle of Downtown Atlanta, about 26 miles away, Alpharetta has its own unique feel.

"For years, Alpharetta has made regular appearances on lists of the fastest growing cities in the South, and it’s just getting started," Southern Living said.
Another Georgia city also cracked the top 25, with Gainesville, Georgia, coming in at No. 17. Gainesville was touted for it being a "resort destination," with Lake Lanier among one of its draws.

A short drive north of Atlanta, Alpharetta is the suburb that has it all. From 750 acres of green spaces and parks to a newly revamped downtown, there's never been a better time to visit Alpharetta. It has hundreds of restaurants and bustling attractions, which means there's something for everyone here. You'll find that families are just as comfortable exploring this town as, say, couples on a romantic getaway or friends looking for a fun weekend trip. When it comes to hotels, there's the recently opened Hamilton, a 119-room hotel located in downtown Alpharetta within walking distance to restaurants, shops, and the amphitheater. Or there's the Hotel at Avalon, located in a popular mixed-use development and crowned with a rooftop pool. Whether you're popping in for the day or looking to stay awhile, here are 17 things you can't miss while in Alpharetta.
A path that winds along Big Creek for about nine miles feels much further from the city than it actually is. Go for a stroll or ride your bike down the concrete path that runs parallel to North Point Parkway. When you reach the end of the path, you'll hit a mulch trail that circles around a wetland—keep your eyes open for blue herons, deer, and ducks.
Alpharetta is filled with arts and cultural experiences as well as outdoor adventure, and the Alpharetta Arts Walking Tour combines the two. The walk features may pieces of public art and sculpture that you can see with the help of this handy map, which offers information on each of the pieces.
If you're looking for room to roam, you'll find it at Wills Park. Wills Park & Arboretum has a walking trail, baseball fields, a playground, tennis courts, swimming pool, dog park, and much more. It's a great place to take the family for an afternoon of outdoor fun.
You could seriously spend a whole day at Avalon (and not regret any of it). There's a stadium-seat movie theater if you're looking to catch a flick (good to know on rainy days) and there are green spaces where children can stretch their legs. Start at one end and work your way down with stops at shops like Williams-Sonoma and Bonobos. When you get hungry, grab a bite at a restaurant like Superica, Ford Fry's Tex-Mex joint, or maybe something sweet at Cafe Intermezzo.
Support local farmers and makers by shopping the city's downtown farmer's market on Saturdays. Located on the Town Green in front of Alpharetta City Hall, you'll find plenty of fresh produce, plus flowers, baked goods, and items like soap and jelly. It's open from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. from April 6 to November 23.
Downtown Alpharetta is the heart of the city with so much to discover. In the warmer months, there's a splash pad to cool off in and a field to stretch out on. If you're looking to treat yourself, there are chic clothing boutiques like Southern Local and the day spa Natural Body. If you want to enjoy a great meal, take your pick from casual cafe fare at Never Enough Thyme or opt for something more upscale like elevated American fare at Coalition.
Souvenir t-shirt? Snooze. Souvenir vinyl record? That's the ticket. Comeback Vinyl is located in downtown Alpharetta and has a wide selection of records. Buy yourself (or someone else) to one. Keep an eye out for their sidewalk sales.
Open fire and Spanish cuisine are at the heart of this new dinner spot spearheaded by chef and restaurateur Julio Delgado, who also owns Minnie Olivia pizzeria nearby. Inspired by his grandfather who was a butcher in Puerto Rico, Fogón and Lions pays homage to Delgado's family roots with a menu that showcases Spanish, South and Central American, and Caribbean flavors. Dinner dishes range from Churrasco-style skirt steak to seafood paella to rotisserie chicken, all cooked on a 14-foot hearth.
Jekyll Island feels a bit closer when you visit Jekyll Brewing. There are two locations in Alpharetta to choose from—Marconi, not far from the Big Creek Greenway, and Alpharetta City Center. Both have refreshing beers like the Pineapple Habanero Hot Dang Diggity IPA. If you want a snack to go with that beer, there are nibbles like black bean quinoa falafel balls and heartier items such as burgers. Catch live music on the weekends.
You won't be able to resist the aroma of just-out-of-the-oven treats at this charming bakery and cafe. Hanh Nguyen realized a decades-long dream when she opened July Moon Bakery & Café at the Maxwell in Alpharetta in 2022. The bakery and café, named in honor of Nguyen’s daughters, offers Vietnamese iced coffees, boba teas, bánh mìs, specialty toasts, and classic desserts with an Asian twist. Try the Pandan Cinnamon Roll or Ube Chocolate Chip Cookie for a tasty and unexpected treat.
If you'd like to explore Alpharetta's cuisine options, catch the Food Truck Alley event, which lines up the area's best food trucks for a night of delicious eats. More than 10 food trucks are on hand each month for the family-friendly night, which takes place once a month on Old Roswell Street. Check the website for dates and times.
According to the Alpharetta travel bureau, "Nestled in downtown, Roaring Social transcends the typical speakeasy experience by curating a lineup of talented performers who grace the stage with diverse genres and captivating melodies." Depending on the night, you might hear jazz, pop, or rock, but you can be certain you'll have a memorable night of live music at this 20s-style speakeasy.
Valor is the total package. Amazing aesthetics thanks to a colorful espresso machine and disco ball hanging from the ceiling. Yes. Delicious coffee roasted in small batches? Yes. There's also a cute outdoor seating area and a snack menu if you get hungry.
Experience all the throwback joys of an old-fashioned soda counter and Andy's Frozen Custard. While you can order a float, shake, or sundae, Andy's specializes in Concretes and Jackhammers, a thick mixture of custard and custom mix-ins, like candy, cookies, and fruit.
Outdoor music performances are so of-the-moment and this amphitheater is a great place to enjoy them. Buy a ticket for a seat or plan on sitting on the grassy hill; either way, you can't go wrong. Every genre swings through so there's something for everyone.
If a night of classical music is what you're after, spend an evening with the Alpharetta Symphony, the city's resident orchestra. Their schedule of concerts spans classical and popular tunes, so check their calendar, and see what performances strike your fancy.
You don't have to be a jazz aficionado to appreciate the Velvet Note. With a beautifully designed listening room, it is obvious careful attention was paid to every detail within its confines from the seating arrangements to the type of plates used (the food is served on palm leaf plates to minimize the noise while serving and eating food). Dress sharply, order a martini, and take in the finest of tunes.
