Specialized Pediatric & Teen Dentistry in Atlanta

A Boutique Dental Experience Built for Growing Smiles

A Practice Built Around Your Child’s Health — and Your Peace of Mind

At Dentistry for Children and Teens, we believe excellent dentistry begins with long-term relationships — not one-size-fits-all treatment plans. Our Atlanta-based practice is privately owned and led by board-certified specialists in pediatric dentistry, oral surgery, orthodontics, and anesthesia, offering complete care for ages 1.5 through young adulthood — all under one roof.

We’re not a franchise. We don’t rush families through appointments. And we don’t refer patients out for services we believe are best handled in the comfort of a familiar space. Our approach is conservative, evidence-based, and centered on the long-term wellbeing of your child.

Meet Your Team of Board-Certified Specialists

Many dental offices see children — but few are fully staffed by specialists with decades of additional training. At our practice, your child’s care is handled by professionals who have chosen to dedicate their careers exclusively to pediatric and teen dentistry.

Meet Our Providers:

Dr. Colton Fowlkes, D.M.D.

Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist

Dr. Wesley Powell, DDS, MS, PC

Pediatric Dentist & Orthodontic Provider

Dr. Paul Cho, D.M.D., M.D

Dual-Degree Oral Surgeon

This depth of clinical expertise allows us to provide preventive, restorative, orthodontic, and surgical care in one location, while adapting treatment to each child’s developmental stage, behavior, and health history.

Technology That Supports Safety, Precision & Comfort

Because we treat children and teens — not adults — our technology is selected to minimize anxiety and maximize diagnostic precision.

In our Advanced Imaging & Safety suite, we use:

Digital and panoramic X-rays with ultra-low radiation

Nomad handheld X-rays so assistants can stay next to younger patients

Treatment planning tools that support orthodontics and oral surgery without unnecessary exposure

Whether your child is here for a cleaning, braces, or wisdom tooth evaluation, our tools support safer, more accurate care — in less time.

In-House Sedation & Surgical Dentistry

We understand that some children require more than routine care. Whether your child has dental anxiety, complex treatment needs, or is preparing for wisdom teeth removal, our team is equipped to provide advanced care — in a familiar setting.

We offer a full range of Sedation Dentistry options, including:

Nitrous oxide (laughing gas)

Oral conscious sedation

IV sedation with a board-certified pediatric anesthesiologist

All surgical care — including Tooth Extractions, Wisdom Teeth Removal, and exposure of impacted teeth — is handled in-office by Dr. Paul Cho, our dual-degreed oral and maxillofacial surgeon (DMD, MD).

Preventive to Orthodontic: One Team for Every Stage

Families love that they don’t need to search for a new provider as their child grows. Our care model supports continuity from:

Through Cavity Prevention and monitoring of growth

To customized Orthodontics with clear aligners or braces

We work with your family long-term — not just until your child “ages out.”

Why Families Choose Our PPO-Focused Practice

We are a private-pay, PPO-only practice. That means:

No Medicaid or corporate quotas

More time for each appointment

The ability to use biocompatible, high-grade materials

A team empowered to prioritize conservative treatment over high-volume intervention

Visit our Insurance & Financing page to learn how we help you maximize your PPO benefits and use financing options like Cherry or CareCredit if needed.
