Belvedere Park's Neighborhood Dental Office on Memorial Drive
Belvedere Park is a census-designated community in unincorporated DeKalb County, and most of its mailing addresses read Decatur. It was laid out from 1952 as a planned community, complete with schools, parks and a shopping center. Belvedere Plaza on Memorial Drive is where Rich's opened its second branch in 1959.
Memorial Drive, Columbia Drive and Glenwood Road remain the main roads through Belvedere Park, with I-285 and I-20 close by and East Lake and Candler-McAfee as neighbors. The county's Midway Recreation Center and Midway Park offer a gym, pool, playground, tennis courts and fields. Memorial Drive is the community's main corridor, and it is also the road that leads to our office.
Atlanta Dental Team has served the Stone Mountain area for more than three decades. That long presence matters in a neighborhood where many homeowners have stayed for years and want a dental office they can return to as their needs change.
The first appointment is a good time to take stock. A $79.99 comprehensive exam with all standard x-rays is open to every new patient, and it covers the teeth, gums, bite and any existing bridges, partials or dentures. For complex cases, our CBCT cone beam 3D imaging gives the dentist a detailed view of the jawbone before any implant planning begins.
Replacing Teeth and Protecting Gums: A Belvedere Park Guide
In an established neighborhood like Belvedere Park, many adults are now thinking about missing teeth, loose partials or dentures that no longer fit well. Each gap affects chewing, speech and the way neighboring teeth line up. The good news is that there are more replacement options than ever, from a single implant to a full set of dentures.
Dentures replace a full arch or several missing teeth and can be adjusted as the gums and bone change. Dental implants act as artificial roots and can replace one tooth or anchor a denture so it stays firmly in place.
Older dentures deserve a check even when they feel fine. The jaw slowly changes shape after teeth are lost, so a denture that fit well ten years ago may now rock, rub or trap food. Sore spots, clicking while you talk or a need for more adhesive are all signs it is time for an adjustment, a reline or a new set.
Gum health sits underneath all of it. Gum disease is a leading reason adults lose teeth, and it often progresses without pain. Treating inflammation and infection early protects the bone that implants and natural teeth both depend on.
Nervous patients have options too. Sedation dentistry offers levels ranging from mild relaxation to deeper, dream-like sedation, with a review of your medical history and monitoring throughout the visit. For anyone who has postponed care for years, that can make the first step much easier.
Implants, Dentures and More from a Dentist Near Belvedere Park
Dental Implants
Implants are a durable, long-term replacement for missing teeth. For Belvedere Park patients who are tired of a loose partial or denture, implants can bring back steady chewing.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns, bridges and dentures rebuild strength and restore bite function. Restorative care gives worn and damaged teeth a second life.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation options range from mild relaxation to deeper sedation, matched to your health history and comfort level. They help anxious patients get longer or more complex work done.
Periodontal Treatment
Gum care for inflammation and infection keeps the foundation of your smile healthy. It is especially important before and after implant treatment.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth cannot be preserved, extractions are carried out with careful planning and comfort in mind. Removing a failing tooth is often the first step toward an implant or denture.
Problems do not always wait for a scheduled visit. If a broken tooth, a painful abscess or a cracked denture tooth catches you off guard, the practice works to provide same-day emergency care whenever possible. New patients can start with the $59 emergency exam and x-ray to find out what is going on and what comes next.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Atlanta Dental Team from Belvedere Park, and how do I get there?
From Midway Park, our office is about 4.9 miles away, a drive of around 10 minutes. Take Midway Road and Celia Way north to Memorial Drive, then stay east on Memorial Drive across I-285. For anyone who wants a dentist near Belvedere Park without a complicated route, it is nearly one road the whole way.
Should I choose dentures or dental implants to replace missing teeth?
It depends on how many teeth are missing, your bone health and your budget. Implants feel and function most like natural teeth and do not slip, while dentures cost less upfront and replace many teeth at once. Implant-supported dentures combine both. An exam with 3D imaging helps show which option your jaw can support.
Is it normal for gums to shrink after teeth are removed?
Yes, the gums and jawbone naturally shrink after teeth are removed, most quickly during the first year. That is why a denture that fit well at first can loosen over time. Relines and adjustments help, and dental implants slow bone loss by giving the jaw something to support, which is one reason many people consider them.
Do you take Humana dental insurance?
Yes, Humana is one of the dental plans we accept. Our list also includes MetLife, Dominion National, Delta Dental and many other carriers. Coverage for implants and dentures varies from plan to plan, and Sunbit or CareCredit financing can help with any portion your insurance does not cover.
How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?
Most people feel back to normal within a few days after a simple extraction. Some swelling and soreness for the first day or two is common, and soft foods help. Avoid straws, smoking and hard rinsing for a few days so the blood clot can heal. Surgical extractions may take about a week.
