Root Canal | Atlanta, GA

June 6, 2016

First, let’s start with the most important issue regarding root canals: Root canals are not painful – infected teeth are painful! A root canal is done in order to repair and save a tooth that has been severely damaged by injury or decay. Every tooth contains an innermost layer, called the pulp chamber, that is composed of blood vessels and nerve fibers. When the pulp chamber of a tooth becomes infected or damaged, the tooth will feel intense pain and extreme sensitivity. The pain that is associated with a root canal is actually the pain from the infected or damaged tooth, and a root canal is done to relieve this pain and restore the health of the tooth.

It is incredibly important that patients not put off having a necessary root canal because of the aggressive damage that can occur. Any time there is an infection in one tooth of the mouth, the entire mouth is vulnerable to the same fate. Any oral infection can quickly and easily spread throughout the mouth via the blood supply and living tissues that connect all the teeth together. Having a root canal removes the infection from a tooth in order to restore the health of a tooth, and will in turn restore the health of the entire mouth.

Dr. Suway and his team are absolutely incredible. I always feel comfortable and informed with every step of the process that I've had in general routine cleanings and also fixing cracked teeth, etc. Just recently went during these COVID times and I've never seen a place so clean, well maintained, and at the forefront of leveraging new technology and tools to keep me safe. Special masks, machines to pull and filter air, etc. It was truly amazing! Super recommend this practice to anyone and everyone, but especially those that are concerned with seeing a dentist during COVID.

Dr. Suway has been a part of my family for years dating back to when my grandparents started going to him many moons ago. Now as the third generation, I love that he is my dentist and I enjoy going to my appointments! Can you believe I actually look forward to them?! He's pleasant, he's knowledgeable and he sings! I have a great experience every time I visit from the exceptional customer service to the comfort that I feel when I'm in the chair. I recommend Dr. Suway and his team to anyone searching for a great dentist! You will be glad that you did!

After more than a decade of horrible dental service experience, Dr. Suway is a breath of fresh air! He takes his time to ensure thorough work in a comfortable setting. His team is above-par in customer service and truly cares about their clients. By far the best dentist I've ever been to! And the initial consultation and exam is complimentary for new patients! I'm most definitely a lifelong client from this point forward

Don’t put your needed dental work off anymore! If you are afraid of the novacaine injection,as I was, do not fear...Dr Suway does it perfectly! I would never go to the dentist before now, but my fears have been put to rest....they also give nitrous which makes the whole event tolerable. BEST experience ever....Thanks Dr Suway! I wish I had come to you years before!

I called the office last week and they told me they were booked till next year. However, they said they would call me if they could accommodate earlier. I was considering elsewhere when I got a call from Tameisha to come in the same day. What a incredible experience. They got me in a few minutes to my appointment. My dentist was very polite, funny and was done in no time. I wish I stayed a little longer. Dr Suway came out for a final walk around to make sure that I was ok. I live in Florida and I would fly in for next appointment. I left with a smile. I would definitely recommend this place to all. Give it a try.

I have been a patient of Dr.Suway for over 20 years and he is a exceptional dentist. He takes great care and professionalism in all his dental work and has never suggested a procedure that was not necessary for dental health. He cares about the comfort of his patients and his work is top notch. The office staff is also wonderful and everyone makes you feel at home. I highly recommend Dr. Suway"s office for excellent dental care.
