General dentists in the Gainesville area are trained in a wide variety of dental procedures. However, sometimes, your general dentist will refer you to a local specialist, or include a specialist as part of your treatment team.
Following are some of the most common dental specialties found in the Gainesville area:
Endodontists
Endodontists specialize in root canal therapy and other procedures involving the root and surrounding parts of the tooth.
Periodontists
Periodontists treat the conditions affecting gum tissue and the bone surrounding the teeth. If you have gingivitis or more advanced periodontal disease, you may be referred to a periodontist in Gainesville.
Prosthodontists
Repairing damaged teeth and replacing lost teeth for Gainesville patients is called ‘restorative dentistry’. Prosthodontists have advanced training in procedures involving crowns, dental implants, bridges, veneers, inlays, and partial or complete dentures.
Pediatric Dentists
Infants, young children and teenagers have different dental needs than adults. Pediatric Dentists undergo additional training in the diagnosis and treatment of dental diseases affecting the youngest population in Gainesville.
Oral Surgeons
Oral Surgeons perform surgical procedures involving the teeth, mouth and jaw. These include dental implants, surgery to repair damage due to injury, tumor surgery, and cleft lip and palate reconstruction.
If you are interested in learning more about these specialties, or have a concern regarding your oral health, please visit us at Weber Family Dental. You will find us at 1146 South Enota Drive, in Gainesville Georgia 30501. Please give us a call at 678.928.9320.

No one in Gainesville likes to settle for less than the best, especially with something as important as your smile. Dr. Joe Weber DMD at Weber Family Dental has the solutions for your smile problems.
You don’t have to live with crooked or chipped teeth. Porcelain veneers are an affordable and non-invasive way to correct misshapen or damaged teeth that are otherwise structurally sound. If you have a tooth that is beyond repair, don’t despair. A dental implant may be the answer. Call 678.928.9320 for a tooth implant consultation in our local Gainesville office.
You don’t have to watch your teeth become duller and more discolored every year, either. Whether you are young, older or somewhere in the middle, teeth whitening works wonders to perk up your smile.
The latest restorative and cosmetic dental procedures are performed right here at Weber Family Dental in Gainesville.
I have been practicing dentistry since 1991. I have noticed that my patients who receive dental makeovers have only one regret; they wish they would have done it sooner! My clients with dazzling new smiles are surprised by how much confidence they gain. Because they love their smile, they smile more often.
Come in and see us at Weber Family Dental.
Gainesville tooth whitening treatments have advanced significantly. The team at Weber Family Dental is trained on the safest and most effective products and systems. If you need the latest dental info on teeth whitening, schedule a consultation by calling 678.928.9320.
At Weber Family Dental in Gainesville, we are excited about new light tooth whitening systems. If you are worried about tooth whitening sensitivity, light whitening systems may provide a great solution. It is important to avoid at-home whitening smile products if you are concerned about tooth whitening sensitivity. We recommend administering whitening bleach in a tightly controlled, professional environment such as our dental office in Gainesville, Georgia.
Don’t take chances with something as important as your teeth.
Orthodontia patients will appreciate the range of choices now available in braces, too. Speed braces bring teeth into alignment quicker than any previous teeth straightening systems used. If you weren’t able to get braces for crooked teeth when you were a kid, it is not too late; with the latest teeth straightening treatments in Georgia, you can finally transform your smile without bulky or inconvenient braces. Come to our Gainesville dental practice and we can show you before and after braces photos, and discuss your options.

Have you ever been eating an ice cream cone when you felt a sudden jolt of pain in one of your teeth? If the enamel is eroded, or the gums have receded, the dentin layer of the tooth is exposed. The substances that cause tooth pain travel to the pulp where the nerves of the tooth are located. Ouch!
Tooth sensitivity can be a signal that something is wrong. It may be caused by periodontal disease or bacteria build-up in a crack in a tooth.
Enamel erosion can be caused by a number of factors including acidic foods and drinks, teeth grinding, or cracked teeth. If your teeth are sensitive following a professional teeth whitening such as the ones we do here at Weber Family Dental, the sensitivity will probably be gone in a few weeks.
Surprisingly, one cause of gum recession for our Gainesville patients is brushing too hard. That’s right; it is possible to brush too hard!
If you experience constant or intermittent pain in your teeth or gums, call 678.928.9320 right away to make an appointment. Dr. Joe Weber takes tooth pain seriously.
At Weber Family Dental in Gainesville, we not only treat tooth sensitivity problems, we also perform entire smile makeovers for cosmetic dentistry patients. You’ll find us in the 30501 zip code area.
Because You Deserve a Healthy Smile.
Run your tongue along the gumline behind your lower front teeth. Do you feel a ridge? This is probably tartar or dental calculus.
Even if you brush and floss regularly, plaque and tartar can gradually accumulate. If not removed, these bacteria-breeding substances cause the gums to become irritated and swollen. Eventually, the gums become detached from the tooth, creating a ‘pocket’. This creates a new space for plaque and tartar to grow. In advanced stages of periodontal disease, the toxins created by the bacteria literally rot the gum, teeth and bone.
At Weber Family Dental in Gainesville, we perform the most thorough dental cleanings possible. Gum disease can be reversed in its early stages.
Our goal is to help our dental patients prevent gum disease before any damage occurs. Cleanings include root planing and periodontal scaling. Scaling removes the plaque and calculus above and, especially, below the gumline where your toothbrush cannot reach. Planing smoothes root surfaces so it is more difficult for plaque and tartar to accumulate and grow. It also creates a healthy surface for the gums to reattach to the root if necessary.
To schedule a deep cleaning, call 678.928.9320. We are located at 1146 South Enota Drive, Gainesville, GA. In addition to providing comprehensive dental cleanings, we create mega-watt smiles for cosmetic dentistry clients. See http://www.WeberFamilyDental.com for more information about our state-of-the-art dental practice.
Gainesville cosmetic dentistry is part science and part art.
I’m Dr. Joe Weber of Weber Family Dental and enjoy using my extensive dental training and specialized artistic skills to design treatment plans unique to each of my Gainesville cosmetic dental clients.
In order to achieve an attractive, yet natural looking result, I do much more than recommend specific procedures. I consider the shape, alignment, color and condition of the teeth. In order to create a balanced look, the facial shape and coloring is taken into account. The dentistry client’s age, health condition and lifestyle all influence the plan.
At Weber Family Dental, there is no one size fits all treatment plan.
My artistic abilities have been perfected over several years of creating smile transformations for my cosmetic dentistry clients. I am constantly receiving the latest training in new techniques and materials.
Even fairly recent cosmetic dental procedures such as teeth whitening and porcelain veneers have advanced considerably. Dental implants are a truly remarkable solution for our Georgia dental clients who have lost one or more teeth.
I would love to design a personalized smile makeover for you. When the work has been completed and you are enjoying your new look, it will only be obvious to those who see you all the time. Others will assume you have always been blessed with a naturally beautiful and healthy smile.
A great smile is essential for putting your best face forward. At Weber Family Dental, we not only restore teeth to their original condition; we make many smiles better than they ever were before!
Some patients have only a few problems they wish to correct. Perhaps one or two teeth are misshapen and seem out of alignment. If the problem teeth are only superficially crooked—meaning they do not need to be moved into place with orthodontia—porcelain veneers are the answer. Veneers are wafer-thin porcelain shells that are attached to the front of one of more teeth. They are extremely versatile and can correct shape, color, or both.
Another plus: porcelain veneers are essentially non-invasive and do not affect healthy tooth structure.
Some of our dental patients were happy with their smile in years past but now want to bring up the whiteness a notch or two. Teeth whitening is a popular procedure for our cosmetic dentistry clients. We provide a variety of teeth whitening options for every type of smile. If you are ready to brighten your smile, come on in; we’ll help you find the best tooth whitening system for your smile.
Put your best face forward with a brand new smile!
