Services Overview
Dr. Powell and Dr. Sheh believe a trip to the dentist should be fun, lighthearted, and not something to fear. The way your child is exposed to dentistry lays the groundwork for how they view dental care and dental visits for the rest of their lives.
Dr. Powell and Dr. Sheh and their team loves caring for patients, and we work hard to make sure each child is spoken to gently, treated with respect, and cared for as if they were our own child. We use simple words to explain procedures to our patients and make sure each parent or guardian is aware of the process as well.
Infant Oral Exam
Studies have shown that the earlier a child receives their first dental exam, the less dental treatment was needed during their youth. We recommend oral exams for children when their first tooth erupts.
Cleanings & Exams
Routine cleanings and exams are necessary to make sure your child’s teeth stay healthy throughout childhood. Our doctors recommend two cleanings a year to maintain optimal oral health.
Digital X-rays
Digital x-rays allow our doctors to get a view of your child’s teeth and jaws that they can’t see with their eyes while keeping radiation exposure to a minimum.
Fluoride
Regular fluoride treatments help reduce your child’s risk of developing cavities and can remineralize areas where decay is starting.
Sealants
Sealants help protect your child’s teeth from decay by filling in the grooved biting surfaces of your child’s teeth, making them easier to clean. Our doctors apply this light-cured material in minutes, and the procedure requires no anesthesia.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a safe, noninvasive treatment that can stop decay in its tracks. Dr. Powell and Dr. Vahid offer Silver Diamine Fluoride treatment in their Atlanta, GA office.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry includes fillings, crowns, and other procedures that help restore a tooth to its original function. Newcastle Dentistry offers many restorative procedures to help your child smile with confidence!
Dental Anxiety
At our practice, we explain all procedures so that your child can know what to expect at their appointment. If your child has severe anxiety, we offer sedation options to put them at ease.
Root Canals on Baby Teeth
Root canals on baby teeth can relieve a child’s pain and preserve a tooth until it’s ready to come out on its own. Our dentists can help you decide if a baby root canal is right for your child.
Children with Special Needs
Our practice’s treatment rooms are designed to accommodate children with special needs so we can administer care in an environment that's accessible and comfortable for your child.
Sports Mouthguards
Sports mouthguards prevent dental injuries when worn during contact sports or other potentially dangerous activities. A custom-fit mouthguard can save your child’s teeth and prevent extensive dental treatment.
Tooth-colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings offer a durable, more natural looking option for your child’s restorations. Made from composite resin, they are strong, durable, and perfect for smaller teeth. Dr. Powell and Dr. Vahid can help you decide if a tooth-colored filling is right for your child.
Tooth Extractions
While we focus on helping your child keep their teeth for a lifetime, sometimes an extraction is necessary. Whether it’s extensive decay, overcrowding, or an impacted tooth, the dentists can help you and your child understand the procedure and answer any questions you have.
