Services
Throughout your life, you will have two sets of teeth: primary (baby) teeth and secondary (permanent) teeth. At age 6-8 months, the primary teeth appear; all 20 are usually in place by age 3. Permanent teeth will begin to grow around age 6, and except for wisdom teeth, are all present between ages 12 and 14.
Ice can be applied to any bruised areas. For bleeding, apply firm (but gentle) pressure with sterile gauze or a clean cloth. If the bleeding does not stop with pressure or continues after 15 minutes, go to an emergency room. Remove a broken appliance only if it comes out easily. If it is lodged or painful to remove, cover any protruding edges with wax, cotton balls, gauze or chewing gum.
A. The American Dental Association (ADA) guidelines recommend visiting a dentist at least twice a year for a checkup and professional cleaning. Our office also recommends a minimum of two visits per year. A. One of our staff members will compile your medical and dental history during your first visit.
Loud snorers may have a more serious case of blocked air passages, known as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). In these cases, the blockage of air is so great that no air can get through, causing repeated awakenings throughout the night.
Obstructive sleep apnea can contribute or lead to many other conditions, such as high blood pressure, stroke, heart attack and depression, so it is important to be diagnosed by a medical professional if you experience any sleep-related symptoms.

The innermost portion of each tooth is comprised of connective tissue, blood vessels and nerves. This collection of tissues is called the "pulp." If the pulp dies or becomes infected, the diseased tissue must be removed. If the patient desires to retain the tooth, endodontic therapy needs to be performed.

I recently visited Mountain View Dentistry due to a very painful tooth. Dr. Witcher, Amy and April were outstanding. April and Dr. Witcher got me in right away and took great care of me. Dr. Witcher makes sure to keep you informed on everything he is doing. Dr. Witcher is extremely gentle. The staff is very friendly and professional. On the way out they even provide an individually wrapped warm wet cloth to refresh yourself. WOW!!! This practice really knows how to treat its patients. I highly recommend Mountain View Dentistry for all your dental needs.

After a horrible experience at a corporate owned practice I was too scared to return to, I ended up here since it was close to the house and they took my insurance. I was overdue for a cleaning due to prior trauma and I was incredibly anxious and shaky. I was able to get something to relax and my pain was managed. Dr. Witcher and his hygienists completely put me at ease. They also explained my treatment options to me and I then realized my former dentist was recommending unnecessary procedures that I did not need (like periodontal scaling). I was relieved that this cleaning was very gentle… and

I have many problems with my teeth and horribly painful experiences with past dentist (including being talked into filling a tooth with no numbing aid). This office is AMAZING! Whitney was very accommodating for my cleaning which is painful normally but not with her. Dr. Witcher and the assisting tech (I hope that’s right) would completely stop if I was not comfortable and reevaluate what they were doing to keep me out of pain. They came up with a new plan for fixing my teeth and it worked far beyond my expectations. I did not feel a thing! I looked crazy leaving but I promise I do not care one

I took my eight-year-old daughter there today with a tooth emergency. I was a little worried because it's not a pediatric dentist office. I need not be worried!! Everyone from the front office staff to the hygienist, assistant, and dentist were amazing with my child! I highly recommend Mountain View Dentistry!

Went in for a broken wisdom tooth. I was afraid of it being extremely painful before Dr. Witcher extracted the tooth. He was completely calm and talked me through the procedure and assured me that everything would be alright. His staff gave me step by step instructions of how to care of my teeth going forward. They are an awesome establishment and I will highly recommend them. Thank you!

Dr. Witcher and his beautiful staff are extremely professional, kind and genuinely compassionate towards their patients. I would definitely recommend them to anyone seeking dentistry services.
Until I met Dr. Witcher, I was afraid of dentist. Now I have a new outlook on life. April rocks too! Thanks you guys.
I love Dr. Witcher and the staff at Mountain View Dentistry. They want you to be pain free and have a great smile.

They conveniently waited until after my wife got work done to tell her that our insurance didn't cover all of it, which is what I assumed based on the type of insurance that I carry. I feel it's a little deceiving to explain a change in insurance coverage AFTER services are provided. If you have an extra 20 minutes, just find a dentist in Dawsonville.

I've been without a regular dentist for quite a while. I decided to visit the Mountain View Dentistry, and I won't need to look further. Dr. Witcher takes the time to explain exactly what's happening and what you need to do about it. But, he doesn't push, he leaves the decision to you. His office staff are friendly and some of the most capable I've ever seen. And, I've been in a LOT of dentist offices. Highly recommended.

1st class group of people. Their attention to detail, care, and professionalism is second to none. I would highly recommend. I had put off some major dental work for many years and was embarrased to even go. They were very caring, placing no guilt or the usual judgmental speeches some dentists give. I was very impressed with the speed and accuracy at which they worked and honestly can't wait to go back for my next cleaning. Never again will I stress about having dental work!!!

Dr.Witcher and his staff are very professional and friendly! I'm 73 years old and have never found a better dentist than Dr. Witcher! His designation MAGD means master of dentistry! Only 1% of all dentist have that distinguished title! He also has a degree in mathematics and chemistry! He's a professor of dentistry at Emory University! The man is an absolute genius! I will highly recommend Mountain View Dentistry to my family, friends and neighbors! And lastly, his prices are very reasonable!
