Dental Examination
According to the American Cancer Society, the average age for patients to develop mouth, throat, or tongue cancer is 62. These cancers typically do not result in any pain during their early stages, making them difficult to detect with the untrained eye. During a regular dental exam, our doctors will perform a screening for oral cancer. By performing this screening, the doctors can detect signs of oral cancers in their earliest stages, when they are easier to treat.

Dental Examination
According to the American Cancer Society, the average age for patients to develop mouth, throat, or tongue cancer is 62. These cancers typically do not result in any pain during their early stages, making them difficult to detect with the untrained eye. During a regular dental exam, our doctors will perform a screening for oral cancer. By performing this screening, the doctors can detect signs of oral cancers in their earliest stages, when they are easier to treat.
X-rays
The advent of digital x-rays and 3-D imaging have made detecting hidden decay and problems with the jaw easier, and patients find them much more comfortable than traditional dental x-rays and impressions. These machines also expose patients to less radiation, making them safer than previous options.

Teeth Cleaning
In order to maintain healthy teeth and gums, it is important that you undergo routine dental cleanings every six months. When you visit Feather Touch Dental Care for a biannual cleaning, our team will first examine your periodontal tissues and teeth to look for early signs of disease or decay. Next, we will remove any plaque that has built up on the surfaces of teeth. Additionally, these appointments allow us to draw your attention to any problem areas and provide tips to help you improve them. It is also crucial for patients to care for their gums at home by brushing and flossing after every meal, or at least twice daily. Flossing is an essential part of periodontal care because it helps to remove plaque bacteria between teeth. You can also use an antibacterial mouthwash to help kill bacteria in hard-to-reach areas.
Fluoride Treatment
Tooth enamel creates an airtight seal around the rest of the tooth to protect it from decay-causing bacteria and other dangers. When enamel grows weak, we can can spot the signs of erosion, which can be curbed with fluoride treatments, therapeutic mouthwash, and an improved dental hygiene routine. If decay fully penetrates the enamel, it can infect the dentin and cause small holes, or cavities, to form.
Dental Sealants
When you receive a filling, Dr. Ross, Dr. Kim or Dr. Shah will first administer local anesthesia. Then he will clean out your tooth, removing bacteria and damaged material. Next, he will place a sealant on the inside of your tooth. To create a secure bonding surface for your filling, he will lightly etch the inside of your tooth. Then he will place the filling. If you choose a composite restoration, he will place the material in layers, and he will use a curing light to harden each level. When the entire filling is in place, your dentist will trim off any excess material to make sure that it does not interfere with your natural bite. He will make any necessary adjustments and then smooth and polish your new filling.

Fillings
Resin Composite
We offer fillings made from different kinds of materials. For many years, metal fillings, made from gold or silver amalgam, were the most common option. Metal is hard and durable, and silver amalgam is very affordable. However, over time, these dark substances can start to show through, giving your tooth a gray tint. Therefore, tooth-colored composite resin fillings are becoming a more popular choice. A tooth-colored filling will be a near-perfect match to your teeth, and, with advances in dentistry, the material is almost as strong as metal. Plus, composite has advantages for your overall dental health. The material will form a stronger bond with your tooth, and, unlike a metal filling, it will not expand and contract with temperature variations.
Veneers
Do minor imperfections in your smile make you feel self-conscious? Porcelain veneers, available through our Atlanta practice, are an excellent solution for concealing small chips and cracks, as well as slight misalignment issues. These thin shells of dental porcelain are custom-designed to the specifications of your smile, blending in among surrounding teeth to achieve a natural-looking enhancement. In just two visits to our office over the course of two to three weeks, we can help you achieve the symmetrical, charismatic smile you have always wanted. To learn more about how porcelain veneers can enhance your smile, contact us today.
Crowns
Inlays and onlays are custom restorations used to repair molars that have suffered damage or decay that is too extensive to repair with a filling, but not extensive enough to warrant a dental crown. They are fully customized in terms of shape and color to achieve a precise fit within your tooth, and provide a natural appearance. Drs. Donald H. Ross, Dr. David Kim and Neal Shah will assess your smile to determine which restorative treatment is best for your needs. Contact Feather Touch Dental Care to learn more about dental inlays and onlays placed at our Atlanta, GA, office.
Bridges
A dental crown is designed to cover the entire visible portion of a tooth. Today’s crowns provide function as well as aesthetics. We can custom-design a dental crown for you in our Atlanta office to provide support and a natural appearance if you have suffered tooth decay, dental trauma, or tooth loss. We also offer dental bridges, also known as partial dentures, to replace one or more missing teeth. To learn more, please contact our office today.
Dental Bonding
When the teeth have been sufficiently prepared, your doctor will begin to apply the bonding agent. Using only a very small amount of solution and an instrument that resembles a paintbrush, your doctor will carefully apply the solution while being careful to avoid contact with the gums or other structures of your smile. Once the solution has been applied, he will begin to gently shape the material for the greatest cosmetic effect. Dental bonding gives our doctors the ability to increase or decrease the length or width of the tooth being treated. For optimal results, your doctor may apply several layers of the bonding solution. Once the bonding material is in place and smooth, your doctor will cure the solution with a special ultraviolet (UV) dental light. This part of the procedure is very similar to the process of hardening a composite filling for a cavity. If needed, he can make adjustments to help you achieve a comfortable bite. Finally, he will polish the material so that it will feel just like your natural teeth.
Restorative Dentistry
As the name suggests, a full mouth reconstruction with your Atlanta dentist involves any combination of restorative dentistry procedures performed as a comprehensive treatment plan to rebuild your smile. Severe tooth decay, aggressive gum disease, accidental trauma, and a number of other issues can significantly compromise the functionality of your smile. After thoroughly examining your mouth to determine the extent of dental damage, one of our dentists will determine the most effective combination of treatments to reconstruct your smile.

Root Canal Treatment
The word “endodontics” stems from the Greek “endo” (inside) and “odons” (tooth). Endodontics focuses on the inner chamber that houses a tooth’s nerves and blood vessels. If your tooth requires invasive care, such as root canal therapy, Dr. Ross, Dr. Kim or Dr. Shah will repair it at Feather Touch Dental Care, or may refer you to an endodontics specialist in the Atlanta area. This procedure can salvage the outer structure of your tooth, which can then serve as an anchor for a restoration. To learn more about how endodontics can save a decayed or damaged tooth, please contact us today.

Deep Cleaning
If you are experiencing symptoms of gingivitis or minor periodontitis, we can perform a deep cleaning to help prevent gum disease from advancing. During a deep cleaning, also known as a scaling and root planing procedure, your dentist will numb the treatment area before carefully removing plaque from the surfaces of teeth both above and below the gum line. Next, we will treat any pockets of bacteria with an antibiotic. More advanced cases of gum disease can require surgical treatment. If necessary, we can refer you to a periodontal specialist in the area.

Dentures
Your teeth are a valuable asset. They help you chew, enunciate, and maintain proper balance between your jaws. If you are missing teeth, it is very important to replace them to avoid compromising these vital functions. Drs. Ross, Kim and Shah provide dentures through his Atlanta practice, using the best materials and the latest techniques to provide you with comfort, function, and a natural appearance. To learn more about how you can benefit from a set of custom dentures, please contact us today.

Dental Implants
Given their high success rate, dental implants provide ultimate stability and long-term success for many patients. Yet, they are not immune to problems here and there, particularly with the bone or gum. In turn, some implants may become loose or damaged, and trauma and disease may also affect the integrity of dental implants. The problem is that implants do not contain nerves, so patients may not know that there’s a problem. Thus, it’s important to stay on top of regular dental visits and checkups.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Dr. Ross studied at Georgia Tech and Emory University, where he earned his Bachelor’s degree in chemistry, and then continued on to earn his dental degree from the University of Alabama Dental School. He belongs to numerous organizations, including the American Dental Association, Georgia Dental Association, Northern District Dental Association, and the Hinman Dental Society. Dr. Ross also has long-standing professional relationships with talented specialists in all dental fields, including periodontics and oral surgery, to ensure comprehensive service for all his patients.After working in a private practice in Downtown Atlanta, Dr. Neal Shah joined Dr. Ross and the Feather Touch Dental staff, bringing with him impressive experience in restorative, endodontic, and surgical dentistry. Dr. Shah graduated from Georgia Tech with a B.S. in Industrial Engineering. He later earned his D.M.D. from the Medical College of Georgia.
Tooth Extractions
When an individual has advanced periodontal or gum disease, teeth may become loose. To save surrounding teeth and protect sensitive gum tissues, tooth extraction is the preferred and necessary treatment. Tooth extraction might be recommended when teeth are severely crowded in an individual that has an impaired immune system, as it may make them susceptible to oral infections.
Bone Grafting
We perform dental implant surgery to address missing teeth. Dental implants provide the ultimate support for dentures and other restorations, keeping them firmly in place as you chew and speak. Implants also preserve the integrity of the jaw bone, which is vital as you age. Patients may require bone grafting prior to undergoing dental implant surgery to provide adequate support for dental implants. We will carefully assess your teeth and gums to determine if dental implants are right for you.

Orthodontics
The joints that connect the lower jaw to the skull and allow it to move are called temporomandibular joints, or TMJs. Patients who require a full mouth reconstruction often have TMJs that are damaged or strained due to bite imbalance, lost teeth, consistent teeth-grinding, and other issues. Known as TMJ disorder, or TMD, the discomfort associated with damaged jaw joints can range from severe headaches, popping jaw, and difficulty biting and chewing. Treatments such as orthodontics and custom restorations can restore balance to your bite, reducing strain on the TMJs.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Treating TMJ is not a simple process, but we use sophisticated techniques to pinpoint the cause of disruption in your bite. An occlusal (bite) analysis helps Dr. Ross or Dr. Shah determine the extent of bite misalignment, and helps him formulate a plan to adjust it accordingly. Depending on each individual case, this adjustment may involve orthodontic treatment with Invisalign® to reposition teeth, or full mouth reconstruction to address multiple issues standing in the way of a balanced bite.
Braces
Instead of relying on brackets and wires, Invisalign® clear braces utilize a series of clear acrylic aligners that are designed to gently guide your teeth into proper alignment. Rather than periodically tightening your braces as treatment progresses, simply switch your aligners as directed (typically every two weeks) to keep making progress toward a straighter, more symmetrical smile. The advanced technology used in planning and Invisalign® treatment can actually provide you with a digital preview of how your smile will look following treatment.

Teeth Whitening
Advancements in dental technology over recent decades have increased exponentially, making it possible for our doctors to deliver stunning results that were nearly impossible in the past. Dentists can now offer their patients fillings that seamlessly match their natural teeth, and help them achieve straighter smiles without the use of metal brackets and wires. Dr. Donald Ross and Dr. Neal Shah strive to provide our patients with the latest in dental technology at our Atlanta, GA, practice. From comfortable anesthesia administration to incomparable teeth whitening treatments, our high-tech equipment can greatly improve the quality of your care.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Feather Touch Dental Care is a high quality Atlanta dental spa. We make it easy and convenient for patients to receive the cosmetic dental care they need in a comfortable environment. Dr. Ross, Dr. Shah, and our experienced dental staff strive to provide the best cosmetic dentistry in Atlanta.
General Dentistry
While tooth enamel remains the strongest tissue in the human body, there are many ways in which it can become chipped, cracked or broken. A chipped tooth can cause pain and discomfort. It can also become a cosmetic concern, depending on the location of the tooth. Fortunately, advancements in general dentistry have streamlined the process of repairing and restoring damaged teeth.
