About Start Smiling Dental

Start Smiling Dental provides dental care on Allen Road Northeast in Sandy Springs, Georgia. Implants are considered by many dentists the most durable way to replace a missing tooth, since the titanium post fuses with the jaw bone over several months and then supports a crown that functions much like a natural tooth. Enough healthy bone is the main prerequisite, and a graft can build that up first if needed.

A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.

Cosmetic treatment is generally the least invasive branch of dentistry, built around changing how teeth look rather than fixing something broken. Whitening and bonding sit at the lighter end; veneers and reshaping involve more planning. Most cosmetic dental insurance excludes this kind of work, since it is elective rather than medically necessary.

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it.

A crown covers an entire damaged tooth — used when too much structure is missing for a filling to hold reliably, whether from a large fracture, extensive decay, or after root canal treatment. It restores both the shape and the biting strength of the tooth underneath.

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to crowns placed on the teeth either side of the gap, creating a fixed replacement rather than a removable one. It is a longstanding alternative to an implant, particularly when the neighbouring teeth already need crowns. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

This experience was pristine. I have a fear of dentist like most, but Dr. Dancy was excellent. His calm demeanor, kindness and professionalism is unmatched. Mya his assistant was soft spoken and kind. She guided me through the process of getting my crowns done. Felicia's experience and expertise was welcomed and she and Mya finished the job. Christine was excellent with going over the financials. Excellent practice, I highly recommend.

I had a wonderful first visit with Dr. Patel at Start Smiling Dental! I’m new to the area and was looking for a long-term dental home, and this office really feels like the right fit. Dr. Nimmi Patel is very down-to-earth and genuinely caring. She took the time to get to know me and my dental history, explained everything clearly, and made sure I was comfortable and not in any pain throughout the visit. I really appreciated how detailed and thorough she was. The staff was also amazing—super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. The office has a great, calm ambiance, and everything felt both professional and personal. I left feeling informed, cared for, and confident about my dental plan. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Start Smiling Dental in Sandy Springs!
