About Vernon Woods Dental & Implant Center

Vernon Woods Dental & Implant Center is a dental practice on Lake Forrest Drive Northwest in Sandy Springs, Georgia. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth at the root, not just the crown — a small titanium post is placed in the jaw bone and, once it has integrated over a period of months, a replacement tooth is attached to it. It is generally the most durable option for a single missing tooth or several.

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 dentistry covers treatment aimed primarily at appearance — whitening, veneers, bonding, and reshaping among the more common options — for patients who are less concerned with a problem that hurts than with how their smile looks day to day. The right combination depends on what specifically you would like to change.

Emergency dental care covers sudden problems that will not wait for a routine appointment — severe pain, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, swelling, or a lost filling that leaves a tooth exposed. Same-day or urgent appointments are the point of an emergency service, rather than the standard multi-week booking window.

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.

Dentures replace some or all of the natural teeth in a jaw with a removable appliance, custom-fitted to the mouth. A full denture replaces every tooth; a partial fills gaps where some natural teeth remain. Because the jaw bone reshapes over time, dentures typically need adjusting or remaking periodically.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry at Vernon Woods Dental & Implant Center improves the appearance of a smile through treatments such as whitening and veneers, planned around each patient's goals.

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting rebuilds jawbone that has been lost, creating a stable foundation so a dental implant can be placed securely.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kathy, Dr. Chong, and their entire team. Dr. Chong recently performed a dental implant for me, and I have been extremely pleased with the process and results so far. Dr. Kathy is wonderful as well—kind, professional, and genuinely concerned about her patients. The entire staff is friendly, welcoming, and highly professional. The office is always clean, organized, and inviting. I live in Gwinnett County and travel all the way to Sandy Springs for my appointments. While the drive and traffic can be challenging at times, I never mind making the trip because I know I will receive outstanding care and service when I arrive. It’s rare to find a dental practice where every experience is consistently positive, but that has been my experience here. I have absolutely no complaints and would highly recommend Dr. Kathy, Dr. Chong, and their team to anyone looking for exceptional dental care.

I've been a patient of Vernon Woods dental for a couple of years now. I can confidently say that this is a wonderful dental practice. Dr. Kathy is a great doctor, she does good dental work, and is very thorough. I came in for a root canal as recommended by my previous dentist(who has retired now), and after drilling a little into my tooth, she found out it was just some tooth decay that was causing my tooth to hurt, and she just cleaned it out and put a filling on it and did not perform any unnecessary surgery. That was three years ago and I've never had any issues with my tooth since then. She also had to change my old crown on of my other tooth because the previous one cracked and she did a beautiful job. She is gentle and put you at ease when she senses that you are nervous prior to performing surgery. This office also offers a variety of other services such as implants and teeth whitening. My whole family comes here, they accept both adults and kids. The office itself is very clean and modern. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable. I would highly recommend coming here, it is such a pleasant experience.

I’ve had a really good experience here. Dr. Kathy took the time to listen to my concerns and never made me feel rushed. I recently got a retainer from her office and it fits perfectly — very comfortable and no pain at all on my lower teeth. I also want to give a special thank you to Hanna for the dental cleaning service. She was gentle, thorough, and made the whole experience much more comfortable. The team is professional, caring, and easy to communicate with. I truly appreciate the care I’ve received here.

My hygienist was very nice, very communicative, and did a great job of cleaning my job. Dr Kathy came in after. She's very personable and went over my X-rays showing some upcoming cavity issues. They are no pressure and help put me as ease.
