Built to Last: Avondale Estates and Its Dental Care
Avondale Estates is a small city in DeKalb County with a story few towns can match. George Francis Willis founded it in 1924 as what the city calls "the first documented example of a planned city in the Southeast," and he named it for Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare's birthplace. The downtown was built in Tudor Revival style, and many of the homes followed suit. The city is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and you can read more on the city's history page.
The city is marking its centennial with events from August 2026 through January 2028, , the farmers market appears on the city calendar, and Lake Avondale shows off the granite that underlies the whole city. Local residents Joe Rogers Sr. and Tom Forkner also opened the first Waffle House in 1955, a short drive away on East College Avenue. It is a community that values things built to last.
Atlanta Dental Team shares that outlook. Our owner, Dr. Peter Dinh, aims to build lasting relationships rooted in trust, and the practice has served the Stone Mountain area for more than three decades. Patients from Avondale Estates come to us for care they can plan around for years, not just a quick fix.
A first visit is the natural place to start that kind of plan. New patients can book a $79.99 comprehensive exam with all standard x-rays, which covers the teeth, gums, bite and any existing dental work. You leave with a clear list of what needs attention now, what can wait and what simply deserves a closer look next time.
Avondale Estates Adults and Aging Dental Work
Established households in a historic city often bring established dental work. Crowns, bridges and root-canal-treated teeth can serve well for many years, but they eventually wear, loosen or develop decay at the edges. Catching that early keeps repairs smaller and gives you time to choose between options.
Missing teeth are a frequent next step. A gap left untreated lets nearby teeth tip and the opposite tooth drift, which changes the bite over time. Dental implants replace the root as well as the crown, and our CBCT cone beam 3D imaging shows bone and nerve positions in detail, which helps with planning complex cases like implant placement.
Some adults in Avondale Estates also want to improve how their smile looks after years of wear. Chipped edges, stains and slight crowding can make teeth look older than they are. Veneers and SureSmile® clear aligners are two ways to address that without changing what makes your smile yours.
Jaw comfort is worth a mention too. Years of clenching, often worse during stressful stretches, can leave the jaw sore in the morning, wear down enamel and crack older fillings. If you notice clicking, tight chewing muscles or headaches near the temples, an exam can check the joint, the muscles and how your teeth meet before the wear goes further.
Implants, Aligners and Restorations from a Dentist Avondale Estates, GA Residents Use
Dental Implants
Implants are a durable, long-term replacement for missing teeth. They stand on their own, so neighboring teeth do not need to be reshaped. 3D imaging supports careful placement for Avondale Estates patients replacing one tooth or several.
SureSmile® Clear Aligners
SureSmile® uses digital planning and clear, removable aligners to move teeth gradually. You take them out to eat, brush and floss, which makes them practical for adults with busy schedules.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns, bridges and dentures rebuild strength and bite function. When older dental work starts to fail, restorative care brings the tooth back to full use.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic treatment offers natural-looking smile enhancement, from whitening to reshaping worn or chipped teeth. Results are designed to look like your own teeth on their best day.
TMJ Treatment
Jaw pain, clicking, tension headaches and sore chewing muscles can all trace back to the jaw joint. TMJ care looks at the joint, the muscles and the bite together.
Meet Our Dentists
Dr. Peter Dinh is the dentist and owner, and he leads with empathy, integrity and a patient-first mindset. Dr. Arzu Malik, a 2023 graduate of the NYU College of Dentistry, and Dr. Kim, who has nearly 10 years of clinical experience, complete the team.
Insurance & Financing

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Atlanta Dental Team from Avondale Estates, and how do I get there?
The office is 4.2 miles from Avondale Estates City Hall, about 8 minutes by car. Follow US 278 east on Covington Road and Covington Highway, jog onto Mountain Drive, then take Memorial Drive east across I-285. It is an easy run for anyone wanting a dentist Avondale Estates, GA residents can reach without the interstate.
Am I a good candidate for a dental implant?
Most healthy adults with a missing tooth can be considered for an implant. The main requirements are enough jawbone to support it and healthy gums. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes and active gum disease can lower the success rate, so those are addressed first. A 3D scan and an exam confirm whether an implant is the right fit for you.
Can adults straighten their teeth with SureSmile clear aligners?
Yes, SureSmile® clear aligners work well for many adults with crowding, gaps or mild bite problems. The aligners are nearly invisible and removable, so you can eat normally and keep up with brushing and flossing. Straighter teeth are also easier to clean, which helps protect older crowns and fillings from new decay.
Do veneers damage your natural teeth?
Veneers require removing a thin layer of enamel from the front of the tooth, so the change is permanent. The rest of the tooth stays intact, and a well-made veneer protects the surface beneath it. Because the enamel does not grow back, veneers are a long-term commitment, and the tooth will always need a veneer or similar covering.
How do I know if an old crown needs to be replaced?
A crown usually needs replacing when it is cracked, loose, or has decay forming at its edge. Other signs include a dark line at the gumline, a bad taste around the tooth, or new sensitivity when you bite. X-rays at a routine exam reveal problems under a crown that cannot be seen in the mirror.
