Over the past 31 years I have had the opportunity to help thousands of people all over Atlanta improve their lives through quality dental care.

For most people, dentistry starts with preserving their teeth and gums to keep their mouths healthy and functional. But beyond that is another facet of dentistry entirely— one devoted to building confidence in your appearance that emanates outward.

Cosmetic Dentistry includes those procedures that will re-shape, re-align, whiten or replace your teeth and gums to give you a beautiful, natural smile that you can be proud of. You could say this is the artistic side to being a dentist.

I have dedicated my practice to providing high-quality work using the best materials and most advanced technology available, and I look forward to helping you achieve the smile you deserve.

Message from Dr. Joel Benk, DDS

Message from Dr. Benk Modern Dentistry with Dr. Joel Benk

Dr. Joel Benk

Dr. Benk has helped thousands of people through his practice.

Below: Dr. Benk has treated scores of performers over the past 20 years as an on-call dentist for the renowned Fox Theatre of Atlanta, home to touring productions of Chicago, Grease, Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King and more.

Dr. Benk is an internationally recognized teacher. He has instructed over 1,000 dentists in advanced CEREC technology and is a leader in his field.

We’ve seen amazing advances in dental technology over the years,” says Dr. Benk of the

Atlanta Dental Center. “It’s a great time to be a dentist and an even greater time to be a patient.”

A rapid survey of patients will tell you just how true those words are at the Atlanta Dental Center, headed by Dr. Benk with his associates Dr. Schmidt and Dr. Choy. Now in his 31st year of prac-tice, Dr. Benk reflects on just how far the technology of dentistry has come.

STAYING ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF TECHNOLOGY“Today we have same-visit service for crowns and smile makeovers thanks to CEREC® 3D technology. We place dental implants using 3D cone beam digital x-rays. And we can do it all faster and with less pain than at any time in history,” says Dr. Benk.

Dr. Benk maintains a state-of-the-art office that boasts the latest technology, such as the CEREC 3D system for single-visit crowns and tooth restoration, intra-oral cameras, a soft-tissue laser to correct a “gummy smile” and digital x-rays to analyze your teeth and smile.

PERSONAL CARE AND COMMUNICATION Although the practice is high-tech, it remains “high-touch.” A special effort is made to help patients feel comfortable during their visits. Blankets keep patients warm and the time speeds by while they watch a favorite television program or movie during procedures.

Emphasis is also placed on patient education. “We never lecture or pre-judge,” says Dr. Benk, “but we give patients the knowledge to make informed decisions.”

Smile Makeovers: Increase your confidence

Beautiful smiles are not just for the Hollywood stars. Today people in all lines of work are taking advantage of the benefits of cosmetic dentistry.

More than twenty years ago, Taunya Lowe received a business card from the school nurse

at her college with Dr. Benk’s phone number on it. Today she enjoys the smile she always dreamed of, and more.

“In my very first visit to Dr. Benk I found out that my wisdom teeth had to come out,” said Taunya. “He made me feel comfortable with the procedure, and I’ve been a patient of his ever since.”

Since that first visit, Taunya has received cosmetic procedures to perfect her smile, including replacing her silver fillings with tooth-colored inlays, orthodontics to straighten her teeth, dental implants and veneers.

The results speak for themselves. “I always get compliments on my smile,” said Taunya. “And I don’t ever remember feeling pain at Dr. Benk’s office.”

IMPROVE YOUR SMILE, BOOST YOUR CONFIDENCEThanks to modern technology, there is almost no problem with your teeth or gums that cannot be corrected.

Some common cosmetic problems Dr. Benk encounters include stained teeth, chipped or broken-down teeth, crooked teeth, yellow teeth, gaps in teeth and more. Many of these can present health issues, but all of them affect your appearance.

At Dr. Benk’s office, the dentists have many tools at their disposal to give you

lasting and gentle cosmetic solutions to fit your schedule and budget. Moreover, they can give you the confidence to smile.

A FINAL WORD“Producing a perfect smile is an art, as unique and individual as a person’s features,” says Dr. Benk. It’s an art form the Atlanta Dental Center specializes in.

CEREC® “The Wand”

Digital X-Rays Laser Dentistry

It can require up to 18 x-rays to give a complete picture of your teeth. That’s why the Atlanta Dental Center uses digital x-rays for your safety.

These emit much less radiation than traditional x-rays and allow the doctor and patient to see small details in your teeth. It is much more accurate and will help you understand your treatment.

Before & AfterThe gap in this patient’s teeth was corrected using porcelain veneers. The result is a beautiful, natural smile she wears with confidence.

Dr. Benk uses laser treatment to address gum disease and to eliminate excess gum tissue (gummy smiles).

Using laser dentistry helps make your treatment more comfortable, quicker, minimizes post-treatment pain and bleeding, and speeds healing.

678.666.1944

CEREC is an acronym for CERamic REConstruction, which is 3D technology that allows Dr. Benk to create a custom crown or tooth restoration in minutes. No temporary crowns and no second visits.

CEREC restorations are made from high-quality ceramic, which closely approximates natural tooth material.

“The Wand” is a device that provides computer-controlled anesthetic. That means it carefully distributes just the right amount of local anesthetic in exactly the right spot.

This not only prevents you from having a huge section of your mouth numbed to handle a single tooth, but also gives you gentle injections that Dr. Benk’s patients routinely comment on.

Dental Implants: Replacements for Missing Teeth 678.666.1944

www.AtlantaDentalCenter.com

Dental Implants have been around more than two decades. Modern breakthroughs have made it possible for more people to receive the benefits of implant dentistry, with greater comfort and ease.

“I had been wanting a Hollywood smile but wasn’t sure where to go. After a friend told me Dr. Benk

was one of the best dentists in the city, I decided to try him out,” says Patrick O’Brien, owner of Malibu Utilities, an underground utility company.

A visit to Dr. Benk for some dental work convinced him that with Dr. Benk’s expertise and the modern technology in the office, he was ready to get his smile taken care of.

“I had seen a lot of work on people that didn’t look good to me, looked fake or just not right. When I saw how good Dr. Benk’s work was I decided to get my smile makeover done.”

Part of Patrick’s work included getting some old crowned teeth replaced with dental implants. Using a cone beam scanner, Dr. Benk took 360° 3D digital x-rays and designed Patrick’s implants so that they would fit precisely.

“I got veneers on the rest of my teeth and now I have an amazing smile and I get a lot of compliments,” says Patrick. “Dr. Benk was really fast and got it right the first time. There wasn’t any pain during the implant procedure and only slight pain for a short time after.

MAKING DENTAL IMPLANTS SAFE AND COMFORTABLEA dental implant is basically a replacement tooth. Consisting of a titanium post that acts as the root, and a porcelain crown on top, it looks,

feels and acts like a natural tooth. The placement of dental implants has become an increasingly precise science over the past five years. The development of computerized implant technology enables a dentist to use virtual tools for performing implant surgery to ensure the most precise and accurate placement of

the implant post in the patient’s mouth.We asked Dr. Benk why he encourages

patients to consider implant surgery above other options to replace missing teeth.

“In the past if someone had missing teeth, they would usually get a bridge to replace a single tooth, or pull out more teeth to create a partial denture,” explains Dr. Benk. “Both of these solutions are better than being toothless, but they don’t give you the freedom to eat the foods you like, or prevent against bone loss.”

“When the implant is placed, you don’t want the patient feeling anything unusual,” says Dr. Benk. “That’s why I use the Guided Implant System—it makes it possible to get the right location and angle so that the patient can chew, talk and smile without feeling a thing. I know I’ve done my job when the patient comes back and can’t remember which tooth has the implant!”.

What is Guided Implant Dentistry?

Guided Implant Dentistry is a system that makes it possible for a dentist to place implants at exactly the right angle and depth in your jaw.

It starts with 3D Imaging, a special type of low-radiation x-ray that shows images like the ones you see to the right. This system enables Dr. Benk to see every facet of your jaw and determine the exact right location for the implant, as well as the shape and size that will fit best for your mouth.

“Today’s 3D X-ray imaging technology makes it possible to do precise, guided implant dentistry.” — Dr. Joel Benk

Dental Implant EvaluationThe first step of getting your implants is a Dental Implant Evaluation and Consultation with Dr. Benk.

• Find out if you are a candidate for dental implants • Comprehensive oral exam• Necessary x-rays• Cone Beam 3D imaging • Discuss your treatment options • Get any questions answered

For only $50. (A $448 value. For implant evaluation)Call 678.666.1944 to schedule your consultation.

THE FIRST STEP IN GETTING DENTAL IMPLANTS is a consultation with Dr. Benk. He reviews x-rays and establishes whether the person is a candidate for dental implants or what might need to be done so that he or she can have them placed.

He also discusses the different treatment options available for missing teeth, and how each might work for the person’s particular case.

Dr. Benk explains very thoroughly the implant procedure and answers any questions about it.

LEFT: Dr. Benk uses the Planmeca Cone Beam imaging system to take 3D, 360° x-ray images of the mouth, jaw, neck and skull, right in his office. Being able to see any tooth or the jaw joint in a 360° view is a huge advantage and greatly improves the accuracy of the implant and the efficiency of the surgery.

RIGHT: Dr. Benk plans the surgery with every factor taken into account.

LEFT: Dr. Benk uses a revolutionary system to create surgical guides that determine the exact size, depth and angle of the titanium post placement. After surgery, Dr. Benk might recommend a temporary crown while the post integrates into the jaw bone.

RIGHT: The new tooth (crown) is designed and milled in the computerized lab using the highest quality porcelain.

Resultswith Precision Dental ImplantsDental Implants are the modern replacement for missing teeth, and with new technology they are quick and comfortable to place. Patients are generally delighted with the difference implants make to their smile and life!

“Dr. Benk has been my dentist for more than 15 years. His practice is state-of-the-art, so when I broke a tooth, I called him immediately. The thought of getting an implant made me feel quite dreadful, but I’m happy to report that it was a relatively painless process and well worth it. My tooth looks absolutely natural—from the shape to the color—and I have Drs. Benk and Schmidt to thank for that.”—Jennifer Wheelock

“After many years of dental horror sessions, I had become fairly cynical—frightened even of going to the dentist. My experience with Dr. Benk changed my entire attitude and confidence level.

“The procedure for my implants went off as if it were the perfect textbook case. Also, the time went very quickly. During the procedure Dr. Benk and his two assistants never left my side and they repeatedly asked if I was okay.

“There was zero pain, I repeat, zero pain. I was astounded at how easy it had all been. Amazingly, I drove myself home and was able to enjoy a regular lunch and resume my regular schedule of activities!

“Dr. Benk is a charismatic, confident and a successful professional. He and the staff are world-class professionals who are able to mesh state-of-the-art training skills with personal respect and support for their patients.” —Dorothy S. Blackwell, Retired Educator/Adjunct College Professor

“I have been coming to Dr. Benk for over 20 years and he has always taken good care of me. He has kept up with whatever new technology was coming out. I have the wonderful smile I have today because of him.

“Dr. Benk explained my implant surgery very thoroughly. The surgery went off beautifully and my implants are fabulous. I have had no problems with them—they fit right in with the rest of my teeth.” — Sabrina Fuller

“After Dr. Benk gave me various options for my teeth, I decided to go ahead with dental implants. The surgery itself was quick and easy. It was the best thing I ever did.

“I didn’t even need to take a Motrin afterwards. In fact I have never needed any kind of pain medication after any of the procedures I have done with Dr. Benk.

“Everyone is really friendly and the office runs like clockwork. Dr. Benk is highly skilled, meticulous and efficient. I really believe he is a genius and I always tell anyone I talk to who has dental issues, that Dr. Benk is the dentist to go to.”—Doug Corder

Natural-Looking

Today there are many options available to you if you want to improve your smile. Among the most effective and versatile of these methods are porcelain veneers.

Veneers are a simple and rapid way to improve a smile without surgery and without extracting and replacing your teeth. They are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded onto the front side of your teeth as a way to make cosmetic changes for teeth that are discolored, worn, chipped, or misaligned.

STRENGTH AND DURABILITYOnce your custom veneers have been created, they are bonded onto your teeth to create a beautiful and natural effect. They are designed to last for many years with proper oral care.

Veneers can be used to fix spaces between teeth, unsightly or stained teeth and fillings, broken or chipped teeth, crooked teeth and more.

A PIONEER IN VENEERS Dr. Benk has been placing veneers since 1982 and is in fact one of the pio- neers of this technology. Originally they were used to handle teeth stained by the antibiotic Tetracycline.

Durable, natural-looking Porcelain Veneers

Ernie works for Turner Broadcasting as Senior Director of Technical Operations for Live Events and Field Operations. He is in charge of technical operations for all live programming, sporting events and concerts. “When I was promoted to Senior Director at Turner Broadcasting and moved to the company executive offices, I knew that I would be required to attend meetings with the more senior-level executives within the company. My smile suddenly became an important factor to me.

“I spoke with Dr. Benk about my con-cern and at his suggestion had veneers placed on my front teeth. My smile

now looks like it did when I was 22. I am extremely pleased with the results. They have made a difference in my appear-ance and have given me a new-found confidence.

“Over the years I have seen how Dr. Benk has kept abreast of the latest tech-nology and procedures. Even Novocaine administration is now done by computer; I’ve never felt a thing.

“Dr. Benk promotes gentle dentistry and I have experienced it through the many procedures that he has performed on me. I have never felt uncomfortable in any way. Familiarity, comfort and the high technology keeps me coming back.”

Many dental procedures traditionally require more than one visit

to complete, but with CEREC 3D technology (see sidebar at left), Dr. Benk has been helping patients avoid that second (or third or fourth) visit for years.

“Temporary crowns can be unpredictable,” explains Dr. Benk. “Most of the time they will last until your next appoint-ment, but even so, who wants to come back if you can avoid it? That’s the magic of CEREC.”

IN-AND-OUT IN ABOUT AN HOURA man called the Atlanta Dental Center with an emer-gency request. He had just flown into town on business and had a throbbing pain in his tooth.

That very same afternoon, he arrived at the office, received a root canal and walked out with a new permanent crown in less than an hour.

“This level of service has never been possible before,” ex-plains Dr. Benk. “Especially for those who have ever been afraid of going to the dentist, CEREC makes the process fast and easy.”

GOT METAL?Another advantage to CEREC is the ability to make durable, tooth-colored replacements for old metal amalgam fillings or to restore broken-down teeth with-out the use of a crown. These are CEREC inlays and onlays. The CEREC milling machine carves out porcelain to lay inside or on top of your tooth. Best of all, it’s ready in minutes.

DURABLE & NATURAL-LOOKINGCEREC restorations are milled from a single block of high-quality porcelain (ceramic) that has the same physical

characteristics as your tooth structure, and will expand and contract like the rest of your teeth. A CEREC restoration is less prone to cracks and flaws compared to other types of

restorations because it comes from a single block.

SCHEDULE A CONSULTATIONDr. Benk offers free consultations to see if CEREC can help with your dental needs. Call 678-666-1944.

CrownsOne-Visit

Dr. Joel Benk is an internationally recognized instructor in the CEREC® 3D method. CEREC makes it possible to place a high-quality permanent crown or inlay in a single visit instead of the usual two to three visits.

What is CEREC?CEREC® is an acronym for Ceramic Reconstruction. It is an advanced dental system designed to provide crowns and other tooth restorations in minutes.

The CEREC process begins with taking an optical impression of your tooth. Using 3D imaging in a computer, the restoration is custom-designed for your mouth.

The new tooth or restoration is then milled out of a ceramic block to fit perfectly into place.

Minutes later the crown or restoration is bonded into place. No temporaries. No follow-up visits required.

Dr. Benk is one of the top CEREC dentists in the country and regularly holds courses to train others in CEREC procedures.

A digital mold is created for your new tooth.

The crown or inlay/onlay is milled out of ceramic.

Mike is a singer and producer of variety shows and concerts. He performs at the Variety Playhouse and at other venues throughout the South with his band Kingsized and The Dames Aflame Dancers. His goal is to reinvent the variety show and bring this form of entertainment back to television.

I was looking for a dentist online and found the

Atlanta Dental Center.

I had a broken tooth and discol-oration, probably from growing up with hard water and run-of-the-mill neglect. In my business my mouth is open a lot and I needed a better smile.

Whitening wasn’t doing any-thing so I decided to get veneers and replace my metal fillings.

As a singer it is very important to me to have a good smile. It is a confidence booster.

I have been a patient for a year now and it’s been wonderful! I look forward to coming. The staff make me feel at home.

I look at pictures from when I was a kid and I was smiling all the time. As I got older I smoked a lot and neglected my teeth, until I made the decision to change

my habits and redo my smile. This office gave me my

smile back and restored my confidence.

is always very friendly and Dr. Benk is very knowledgeable.

I decided to get Invisalign® after Dr. Benk explained to me how it could improve my smile. I had bottom teeth that overlaid each other, inherited from my mother’s side of the family. Invisalign was a comfortable procedure that gave me straight teeth without needing braces.

Through the years I have handled gingivitis, a root canal and even wisdom teeth extraction with Dr. Benk. The

root canal was the worst as I thought it would hurt—but it didn’t hurt at all, and it was quick!

Since technology has progressed, even the shots don’t hurt at Dr. Benk’s. My hygienist is wonderful. She is genuinely concerned about the health of my teeth. She fusses at me if I haven’t been flossing and I don’t like to disappoint her. I like my smile now and I think I smile more!

Margaret is a professional artist in acrylic and recently started sculpting.

When I met my husband, what attracted me to him

was his pretty smile. He was a patient of Dr. Benk’s, and after we married he introduced me to Dr. Benk.

Now I have been coming to Dr. Benk’s for 17 years, and I can say the dental work has always been excellent. Everyone

Ibel is currently retired and lives in Fort Pierce, Florida with her husband.

A year ago I was looking for a dentist and hap-pened to find Dr. Benk’s

magazine while I was in Atlanta on business. After some dis-appointment with my local dentist in Florida, I decided to give Dr. Benk a try.

From the first visit I have

been very satisfied with the service and quality of work I received. Dr. Benk is gentle and very meticulous. I ended up needing a full-mouth recon-struction, and Dr. Benk literally repaired every one of my teeth so that I can keep them and have a beautiful smile.

In fact, the service was so good, that my husband now also commutes from Florida just to see Dr. Benk.

John Tallent recently sold his digital x-rays distribution company and enjoys a slower life-style.

I was afraid of going to the dentist. Then I saw a maga-zine about Dr. Benk and

decided to handle my teeth and my smile.

Dr. Benk took all the metal out of my mouth and refilled with CEREC® inlays. He handled my poor bridgework and gave me porcelain veneers for all my teeth.

The best part was that it was totally painless. The experience with Dr. Benk was so good that I would do it over again.

Robert is a flight attendant on international flights.

Y ears ago I was going through the phone book looking for a new

dentist to give me a root canal. The root canal I got at the Atlanta Dental Center was perfect and painless.

Since then I have had a bridge placed and three implants, and the work was perfect.

The office is wonderful. Not only is Dr. Benk a great dentist, but his staff are great as well. I always feel welcome. It is more like going to see a family than a dentist!

Atlanta Dental Center when I was 14 years old. Dr. Benk fixed a crown that another dentist had placed for me, and I have been seeing him ever since.

I have had a lot of dental work done: cavities filled, wisdom teeth extracted, Invisalign® teeth straightening, porcelain onlays, two implants and crowns. Everything works excellently and I have never had any problems with any of the dental work.

Dr. Benk is very friendly,

Bridgette has been coming to Atlanta Dental Center for 15 years. She is an orchestra teacher and plays violin with the Macon Symphony Orchestra, Georgia’s regional orchestra.

knowledgeable and profes-sional. He is sensitive to your needs, especially about any pain. He is always concerned about my comfort level. After a tiring procedure he would let me rest in the room. He teaches me first about the procedure and tells me exactly what we are going to do.

All of the staff really mean a lot to me. They have helped me so much and they have been very understanding of my needs. I would never go anywhere else.

“I have lived my whole life in Atlanta and have been to numerous dentists. Atlanta Dental Center is the best.

“Dr. Benk is very personable and doesn’t rush; he always asks if you have any questions.

“I originally came in to whiten my teeth, but Dr. Benk suggested I do Invisalign® first as my three bottom teeth were really crowded. Not only could they look better, but they were also more susceptible to gum disease. Invisalign completely handled my crooked lower teeth. And it was easy! “Now all anyone notices is my white, straight teeth!” – S.S.
