Dentist Near Hiram, GA

That commitment extends to how we approach dental anxiety, which keeps many people from getting care they need. According to the CDC, about 1 in 5 adults between the ages of 20 and 64 has at least one untreated cavity, often because putting off care feels easier than confronting it. We built our approach around helping patients move forward on their own terms, at their own comfort level, rather than avoiding treatment altogether.

For patients who want additional comfort, we offer sedation in three levels so you can choose what feels right for you.

• Level 1: Nitrous Oxide offers a light, floaty calm that just eases the edge off, and you stay awake and can drive yourself home afterward.
• Level 2: Relaxation Medication is one prescribed pill taken before your visit. You remain awake and responsive, though you will need to arrange a ride home.
• Level 3: Conscious Sedation uses a stronger in-office medication for a dreamlike, deeply relaxed state, and also requires a ride home afterward.

Both Dr. Watts and Dr. Thachil have completed additional coursework to administer sedation in accordance with the Georgia Board of Dentistry’s regulations, and Dr. Watts is permitted to administer Level 3 sedation. Levels 2 and 3 can also be combined for patients who need a deeper level of comfort.

For patients who need more involved treatment, our restorative dentistry and cosmetic dentistry services cover everything from fillings and crowns to Invisalign clear aligners and teeth whitening. Our implant dentistry team, including Dr. Watts, who has experience with complex implant cases and is completing the AAID MaxiCourse on her way to becoming a fellow, handles cases ranging from single tooth replacement to full-arch solutions. If a dental emergency comes up, our emergency dental care team is also available when Hiram patients need us most.

What a First Visit Looks Like

A first visit at Esteem Dental Studio starts with a conversation, not a rushed exam. Dr. Watts and Dr. Thachil take time to review your health history and understand any concerns before moving into a complete evaluation of your teeth and gums. That evaluation includes a full 3D scan of your teeth in addition to traditional dental X-rays, giving you a clear, easy-to-understand picture of what is happening in your mouth. From there, we build a plan around your specific needs and goals, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.

That reputation shows up in the details: a hygienist who remembers your last visit, a doctor who takes an extra minute on your X-ray instead of rushing to the next room, and a team that checks in after a procedure to see how you are healing. It is the kind of consistency Hiram patients notice from their very first appointment.
