The hardest substance in the human body is tooth enamel. When this protective shield is broken down due to disease, trauma, or poor bite, teeth can be permanently damaged or lost. This destruction increases the risk of dental infection and can compromise the health of surrounding teeth, as well as disrupt the body's digestive processes.
Dental Implants are tiny metal cylinders that act as structural replacements for the root portion of lost teeth. They are often the preferred approach to replace a single missing tooth rather than a traditional dental bridge, which involves preparation of supporting teeth that may be otherwise healthy.
Dr. Matt Dunford went to South Gwinnett High School in Snellville, GA. He earned an undergraduate degree in Medical Biology from the University of Utah and received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree (DMD) from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. He moved back home to Georgia in 2001 and started practicing in Dawsonville.

Got my semi annual cleaning and check up today. As always, been going there several years, Erica, hygienist, did excellent job, Dr. Dunford did thorough check and put a watch on one of my teeth. He recommended
we wait to see if we will need to do anything in the future. Great to have a dentist with integrity that is not trying to sell me something now that I may not really need.

My visit today, as always, was great, it was fast and painless. They accommodate me with the time that I need so I don’t have to ask off from work, they are all so friendly and nice, I would recommend this office to anyone and for those of you that are afraid of pain, I highly recommend Dr. Cho, he is absolutely amazing, the work he does is very high quality at reasonable prices and most importantly, there is “no” pain.

Wow! I arrived fifteen minutes early, and I was called in almost immediately. That's a first for me, since usually I don't get called into an examination room until fifteen minutes into the scheduled appointment. The staff are all exceptionally friendly and courteous. Dr. Shatz is professional and thorough, and brutally honest. But he managed to make even bad news somewhat palatable because of his competent and confident manner. I'm in good hands with this team.

My whole family has been going to Georgia Smile Team’s for several years now (except our youngest). Since we love it so much I decided to ask if I could bring our 6 yr old and give it a try. He had a cleaning appointment and both the hygienist and the doctor showed so much patience and love for what they are doing, explaining and taking every opportunity to teach him throughout the session. They made him feel very comfortable and he said he had fun at the dentist!.!

I had Dr. Dunford when he was in Dawsonville. When he started his new practice in Gainesville, I traveled all the way there, (70miles RT)) because I was told he accepted Delta Dental on my medicare plan. When I got there, he said he would only do an exam and x-rays but would not clean my teeth which was covered by my plan. They lied and told me the opposite before I went! And lastly, the 5 tooth upper front bridge he did 5 years ago broke off 4 weeks ago. That was $5,000 down the drain!
