Same-day emergency visits, crowns, and implants for Tucker households, with sedation options for anyone who dreads the dental chair.
Tucker is a DeKalb County city of settled neighborhoods, small businesses along Main Street, and busy shopping corridors around Northlake, with I-285 cutting right through it. Reaching our office means heading southwest. Many drivers take LaVista Road, and others follow Lawrenceville Highway and North Druid Hills Road down to Ponce de Leon Avenue.
Few people go looking for a new dentist on a calm day. They call because a filling fell out over dinner, an old crown cracked, or a back tooth finally gave out. Families in Tucker and nearby Clarkston come to us when they want that problem handled quickly and then repaired properly.
Swelling, a throbbing toothache, or a tooth that snapped on something hard should not wait until next month. We offer same-day emergency appointments on weekdays, so call (404) 777-4040 as early as you can. Relief comes first. Once you are comfortable, we explain what caused the problem and what a lasting repair involves.
A tooth with a large old filling or a crack running through it often needs full coverage to keep it from splitting further. A crown wraps what remains of the tooth and takes the force of chewing. We capture the tooth with digital impressions instead of putty, and because our dental lab is in the building, your crown is shaped and shaded by technicians who can talk with your dentist directly.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention names cavities and gum disease as the leading causes of tooth loss. When a tooth cannot be saved, an implant replaces its root and supports a crown that sits beside your natural teeth without leaning on them. We check bone with digital X-rays and AI-assisted imaging before recommending placement.
Repairs hold up longer in a healthy mouth. Regular cleanings and exams help us catch a weak filling or early gum inflammation before it turns into an emergency call. If you want your smile to look better as well as feel better, we also offer cosmetic dentistry and can plan it alongside any restorative work you need.
Care at our Virginia Highland office is shared by a group of dentists who handle restorative and cosmetic dentistry every day. They include founders Dr. Frank Nia and Dr. Farid Toub, along with Dr. Shah Nia, Dr. Ronak Patel, Dr. Faith Volpe, Dr. Sam Posey, and Dr. Aashna Oberoi.
Hygienists handle cleanings and gum care, and clinical partners assist chairside. Treatment coordinators, including one who focuses on implant cases, explain your options and costs, while a lab technician works in the same building where your crowns and implant restorations are made.
That setup matters most when you arrive in pain. Everyone on the Atlanta care team works from the same records, so the person who examines you, the coordinator who explains the plan, and the lab that builds the final crown are never far apart.
We welcome patients of every race, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, and ability, and we give someone who has not seen a dentist in a long time the same patience as anyone else. Ponce Dental Studio also has offices in Buckhead and McDonough.
An emergency visit is not a sales pitch. We focus on stopping the pain, controlling any infection, and protecting the tooth. If more work is needed, you leave with a clear plan that separates what is urgent from what can wait, so the rest can be scheduled around work, school, and family.
That phrase is our practice mantra, and in everyday terms it means a calmer office and straighter answers. We explain findings in plain language, walk you through what the X-rays show, and leave room for your questions. Nobody should feel pushed into treatment, and you can always take a plan home to think it over before deciding.
Digital X-rays and AI-assisted diagnostic tools help us spot cracks, decay, and bone changes that are easy to miss. Digital impressions replace the gooey trays many people remember. Paired with our in-house lab, those scans give technicians an accurate starting point for crowns, bridges, and implant restorations.
A little preparation helps us see you sooner, especially for an urgent problem. When you call, it helps to have these details ready.
With that information, our front desk can book the right appointment length and the clinical team can prepare before you arrive.
Plenty of people put off a cracked tooth because they dread the chair. We offer nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation, and we decide together, before the appointment day, which level makes sense for the procedure and your medical history. Small comforts help too. Noise-canceling headphones, a blanket, and TV give you something to focus on besides the work happening in your mouth.
We are open Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM. Emergency visits are easier to fit in when you call early in the day. Longer restorative work, like preparing a tooth for a crown or placing an implant, can be split across appointments. We explain which steps need healing time in between, so the schedule makes sense before you start.
You should know what a crown or implant will cost before anything begins. Our published price estimates cover many common services, and we give you a clear estimate of the monthly cost before treatment. We are in network with Delta Dental, Principal, and Ameritas, and our team can review insurance and payment options, including CareCredit and Cherry. We do our best to provide financing to every patient.
A broken tooth, a crown that keeps coming loose, or a gap you keep covering with your tongue does not have to stay that way. Call (404) 777-4040 and tell us whether you are in pain right now or planning a repair, and we will book the right kind of visit. Our office sits at 892 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 101, in Virginia Highland.
Curious what a visit looks like before you come in? The Ponce Dental Studio YouTube channel shares videos about the care we provide and the people who provide it. Watching a few can make that first phone call feel a lot less daunting.
Many drivers take LaVista Road southwest, while others follow Lawrenceville Highway to North Druid Hills Road and continue to Ponce de Leon Avenue. Our office is at 892 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 101. Travel time depends heavily on traffic, so give yourself some extra room.
We offer same-day emergency appointments Monday through Friday. Call (404) 777-4040 as early in the day as you can and describe what happened. If a tooth was knocked out, keep it moist, ideally in milk, and bring it with you.
It depends on how much healthy tooth remains. A crown can protect a cracked or heavily filled tooth that still has a sound root. If the tooth cannot be saved, an implant may be the better way to replace it. After an exam and imaging, we explain what we found and go over each option with you.
We offer nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. We review your health history and the planned procedure ahead of time to choose a level that fits. Noise-canceling headphones, blankets, and TV are also available during your visit.
