Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover damaged or weakened teeth, restoring their strength and appearance. Our definitive high-quality crowns are crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring a flawless smile. With dental crowns from Five Points Family Dental, you can enjoy improved chewing ability, enhanced aesthetics, and long-lasting durability.
Bridges
Dental bridges are an excellent option for replacing one or more missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics to your smile. Also known as fixed partial dentures, bridges are a tried and true tooth replacement solution for patients who aren’t good candidates for dental implants. Issues such as bone loss, skeletal anatomy, and improper tooth spacing may indicate additional surgical intervention for a dental implant that a dental bridge may avoid. Our bridges are designed to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, filling in gaps and preventing neighboring teeth from shifting out of place. With a dental bridge from Five Points Family Dental, you can enjoy improved chewing ability, enhanced appearance, and greater confidence in your smile.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the current gold standard for a permanent and natural-looking solution to missing teeth. Our experienced team specializes in implant dentistry, offering personalized treatment plans to meet your unique needs and goals. Whether you need to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth, dental implants will help restore your smile and prevent future tooth migration.
Tooth loss is often a domino effect that begins with losing your molars or back teeth. Molars have larger root structures designed to withstand the heavy forces of chewing while your front teeth are for biting, speaking, and smiling. Over time, as you begin to chew on your front teeth these teeth begin to migrate and break down from the intense forces. Dental implants can help prevent the need for dentures. With dental implants, you can enjoy restored function, improved oral health, and a beautiful, confident smile that lasts a lifetime.
Emergency Appointments: When You Need Care Now
Emergency Dental
At Five Points Family Dental in Athens, GA, we understand that dental emergencies happen unexpectedly and are incredibly distressing. We offer prompt and compassionate emergency dental appointments to address your urgent needs.
Urgent Situations
Whether you’re experiencing severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, a broken crown, or any other dental emergency, Dr. Nelms can help by providing immediate care and relief. Don’t hesitate to contact us for emergency dental appointments in those urgent situations.
TMJ/TMD Therapy
We offer effective TMD therapy utilizing custom nightguards to alleviate discomfort and improve your quality of life. Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) can cause significant jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty chewing or speaking. In tandem, clenching and grinding is one of the most destructive patterns in tooth wear. Our specially designed nightguards are crafted to fit comfortably over your teeth, providing cushioning and support to reduce jaw tension and protect against teeth grinding (bruxism) while you sleep. By wearing a custom-made nightguard consistently, you can experience relief from TMD symptoms and protect your teeth from unnecessary wear.
Dr. Nelms Can Help
Dr. Nelms is experienced in assessing patients with joint pain and conditions and providing medication as needed for relief. Our team is dedicated to creating personalized treatment plans that cater to your specific needs, ensuring optimal comfort and long-term relief from TMD discomfort.
