Why Specialty Patients in East Ellijay Choose Our Practice

Comprehensive Care, Local Convenience

Many practices send patients elsewhere for root canals, surgical extractions and oral appliances. Our three-dentist team, partners Dr. Settel and Dr. Hall Sosebee, along with Dr. Dillard, performs the majority of these procedures in-office, saving patients from extra appointments and longer drives. For complex oral surgery, we coordinate with trusted regional specialists per AAOMS guidelines.

We use digital imaging, rotary endodontic instruments and custom-milled night guards and sleep appliances. As Delta Dental in-network providers, we accept most major plans and offer CareCredit and Cherry financing. Have a painful tooth or are you concerned about snoring and sleep apnea? Call (706) 635-2218 to be seen quickly.

Specialty Dental Services FAQ

Common Questions

01 What specialty dental services do you offer?

We provide root canal therapy, simple and surgical tooth extractions, custom night guards for grinding and TMJ, and oral appliances for snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea. Most procedures are completed in our East Ellijay office without an outside referral.

02 Do you perform root canals in-office?

Yes. Our dentists perform routine and many complex root canals using rotary endodontic instrumentation and digital imaging. For unusually curved canals or retreatment cases, we may refer to an endodontist to ensure the best long-term outcome for your tooth.

03 Do you treat sleep apnea?

We treat snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea with custom oral appliances that reposition the lower jaw to keep the airway open. We work with your physician or sleep specialist to coordinate diagnosis, sleep study results and appliance follow-up.

04 Are tooth extractions painful?

Modern extractions are well-tolerated. We use local anesthetic to numb the area, and many patients report only pressure during the procedure. For anxious patients or surgical extractions, we discuss additional comfort options at consultation. Post-op pain is usually mild.

05 How do I know if I need a night guard?

Signs include morning jaw soreness, headaches, worn or chipped teeth and a partner reporting grinding sounds at night. We can examine wear patterns at your visit and fabricate a custom night guard that protects your teeth and reduces strain on the jaw.

06 How quickly can I be seen for a dental emergency?

We make every effort to see patients with severe pain, swelling, trauma or knocked-out teeth the same day they call. Call (706) 635-2218 during business hours, Monday through Friday 8 to 5, and our team will coordinate the soonest available visit.
