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 Sandy Springs, 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 Sandy Springs, 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 Sandy Springs 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 Sandy Springs, 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:

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Sandy Springs-based UPS announced Tuesday that it is planning to cut 12,000 jobs worldwide as it tries to recover from what its CEO called a difficult and disappointing 2023.
Channel 2′s Michael Seiden has learned that the layoffs will impact some workers in metro Atlanta.
Channel 2 Consumer Advisor Clark Howard believes corporate employees who work in metro Atlanta will be the hardest hit.

“It’s brutal for these employees that are affected,” Howard said. “It’s because retailers would like to make some money, you know, online delivery. And online returns have eaten the profits of retailers, and they are doing a big shift in how they do business with you and me.”
One of those changes he said has to do with online shopping, specifically asking shoppers to make returns at stores.
“So every return that you get you to return the way they want means a package that UPS or FedEx is not sending back to the retailer,” Howard said. “And this is directly impacting both package companies because people are modifying their behavior to save themselves money because the retailer says that’s what we got to do.”
So what will this mean for the consumer going forward?
TRENDING STORIES:
“It’s just really a confirmation of how things have changed,” he said. “THIS is the trend. We’re doing more and more in-person, less and less delivery. And that affects us so much in Atlanta, with UPS being based here.”
Howard said that another reason for these layoffs is a lot of people miss the experience of shopping in person and that has caused a reduction in online shopping, which means less of a profit for companies like UPS, Amazon, and FedEx.

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — The City of Sandy Springs has rolled out Skate City Springs, a 5,000-square-foot ice rink on the City Green at 1 Galambos Way, open until Jan. 21.
Residents and visitors are invited to glide, spin, stride and laugh with friends as they skate, or just watch from the sidelines with a cup of hot cocoa.
The Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center will operate Skate City Springs and the surrounding amenities on the City Green, a 4-acre park at the City Springs complex.
The park, decked out in holiday decorations, features a large lawn, covered seating, picnic tables, free WiFiand plenty of space for gathering.
Adult tickets are $15 per hour. Tickets for children (ages 2-10) are $13 per hour. Admission includes skate rental.
There are group discounts for parties of 10-50 people.
Attendees of Skate City Springs must purchase a timed admission online and arrive a few minutes early to pick up their skates.
The city encourages folks to bundle up and check availability before arriving.
According to the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center’s team, about 1,200 people showed up to skate on opening weekend, Nov. 24-26.
A member of the operations team said they have seen everything from Olympic athletes to toddlers during the first week.
The Arts Center team provides plastic skate trainers for inexperienced skaters and folks concerned about the slippery surface.
Tracy Martin is on the food and beverage operations team at the arts center, just a few quick paces from the ice rink.
While the operations team handles scheduling and cleaning the ice rink, the food and beverage team runs concessions and the beer garden.
“A lot of departments come together and work together to put on an operation like this,” Martin said.
After each 1-hour session on the ice, the operations team cleans the surface with a miniature Zamboni, or ice resurfacing machine.
“This is our first full week, so we’re still gauging,” Martin said. “This is our first year, so we will learn a lot of things.”
Other events at City Springs during December, like the Roswell Dance Starz’s production of “The Nutcracker,” Sparkle City Springs Dec. 3 and the City Springs Production Company’s “Irving Berlin’s White Christmas,” will bring more folks out to ice skate, Martin said.
The operations and concessions teams said they hope to learn how to improve Skate City Springs in future iterations.
The attendance trend during the first week of Skate City Springs shows more people are interested in ice skating on weekends. When schools release students for holiday break, the team at Skate City Springs expects more consistent attendance.
“So far, we’ve gotten a really good response,” Martin said.
The outside lounging area, full of televisions and Christmas-themed decorations, has yet to attract Sandy Springs and Metro Atlanta residents. The operations team is working on providing outdoor heaters to make the area more comfortable.
Around 15 Metro Atlanta residents turned up to Skate City Springs Nov. 30 to enjoy the 7 p.m. time slot.
Mother and daughter Sara and Josie Panzer ran circles around others in that time slot by a wide margin.
Sara, a former Center Ice coach and professional ice-skater, spent the evening teaching her daughter some moves.
East Cobb residents Lane Rhoden and her two sons, Mack and Rollie, went to dinner at a nearby Sandy Springs restaurant and discovered the ice-skating rink on the City Green.
Liana Masih and Michael Pardo of Dunwoody said they enjoy ice skating and found out about Skate City Springs through an internet search. They said the ice rink is much more convenient than the one at Alpharetta’s Avalon.
“The last time I ice skated was on a cruise, I was telling her, and you can feel the waves,” Pardo joked. “It’s steady, it’s not moving.”

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. - If it’s true that you initially eat with your eyes, then The Select in Sandy Springs sure knows how to serve up a first course.
The popular restaurant and bar is already Insta-famous for its indoor hanging garden, with a swirl of stems hovering above the heads of bar patrons. And owner David Green says making the space a highlight of the restaurant was always in the plans.
"We knew that Sandy Springs really needed a classic, beautiful bar," says Green. "And we wanted to make it a place that was interesting to be in because there’s so many interesting people here."
But as Green began work on Damsel — his upcoming art deco restaurant and cabaret venue at The Works on the Upper Westside — he met production designer Bradley Bergeron, a partner and director of research and strategy at Thrive. And with Bergeron’s creative vision, something new began to blossom for The Select.
"He invited me to meet about Damsel in this space," Bergeron recalls. "And all the while we were talking about things that were related to Damsel, ideas just started percolating. And it was like, ‘You know, there are things you could do in here, as well, that would really make an impact.’"
Using one large screen on the ceiling and four smaller screens in frames along the wall, The Select’s bar is now an ever-changing landscape. Bergeron created high-level projections and used precise mapping to make the screens come alive, with subtly animated artwork and dreamy images from nature. The screen on the ceiling, for example, creates the illusion of a glass atrium, with views including vivid green trees swaying in the wind.
"We’re projecting, right? So, everyone’s been to a movie," explains Bergeron. "In a movie, you’re projecting from one source onto a big screen. So, that’s kind of what you get up top here. There’s one projector to one screen. But when you look over at the wall, what we’re actually doing is kind of notching out or compartmentalizing little windows within that bigger screen to map to each of these picture frames."
"He calls them, ‘Moments of Delight,’" says Green of Bergeron. "And it’s about discovery. People are sitting here, and they’re having a drink, and the next thing they know they look up and say, ‘Hey, those trees are moving!’"
The Select is located at 6405 Blue Stone Road, Suite 200, in Sandy Springs — for more information on visiting, click here.

Crews are replacing cement slabs and paving the roadway as a part of the I-285/Georgia 400 transformation
SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Commuters who have grown accustomed to change in the area of Georgia 400 and Interstate 285 will face new challenges when Georgia Department of Transportation crews limit access to the Glenridge Connector.
Beginning Friday night, drivers won’t be able to access Glenridge Connector from Georgia 400 southbound or I-285 westbound for five weeks. Crews will close the ramps to replace concrete slabs and repave portions of the roadway.
At Gruby’s New York Deli in Sandy Springs, Ed Willis is sharing the news with his customers. He said the many traffic changes in the area haven’t impacted business yet, but that might change.
“People only have a certain amount of time for lunch, and I don’t think they’ll have the time to maneuver all around the perimeter to get here,” Willis said.
GDOT is offering travelers several detours around the work.
The Georgia Department of Transportation is calling it one of the final steps in its seven-year effort to reconfigure the interchange of Georgia 400 and I-285.
It’s been an interesting few months for drivers in the area. Changes left many confused about how to access Glenridge Connector until the issue was rectified with the opening of a brand new ramp. It’s the ramp that is now temporarily closing for extra work.
“Hey it’s been happening since I was a toddler,” Willis said of the I-285/400 project. “I wish they’d put an end to it.”
For Willis and others, it’s one more challenge brought by a major road project now in its seventh year.
