Feel Better Soon With Our Expert Care

There's no better feeling than seeing a patient walk out of our office with a smile on their face after coming through our door in pain. Those are the moments that make our work here at East Limestone Family Dental meaningful.

If your mouth is hurting, we'll do all we can to help you. Dr. Fitts has helped an untold number of patients over his dental career, so you can rely on his experience whatever your situation is.

When you come in, we'll assess your condition and give you treatment options so your mouth can feel better soon. Here are some of the restorative and oral surgical services we routinely use to help our patients who are hurting:

  • Teeth Fillings - If a cavity has you in pain, we'll remove the decay and repair the damage using a tooth-colored composite filling. It will blend in beautifully with the rest of your smile and make chewing easier again.
  • Root Canal Therapy - An infected tooth can often be saved from extraction by cleaning out the diseased inner portion of the tooth and sealing the root canals. A new crown is the perfect finishing restoration for this type of repair.
  • Same-Day Dental Crowns - If you have a cracked or broken tooth, or if your tooth has been saved by a root canal, we can make a new crown for it right in our office. Our milling system's CAD/CAM technology will make your restoration in minutes, while you wait!
  • Tooth Extraction - If we're unable to save your damaged tooth, we can eliminate your pain and protect your oral health by removing it. You'll feel better in no time.

Call us now at 256-229-3416. If you're suffering from dental pain in Athens. We'll get you in as soon as possible! You can also make an appointment online if it's more convenient.
