Sophisticated Care for the Next Generation
At Dentistry for Children and Teens, our focus doesn’t stop after childhood. We’re one of the few boutique dental practices in Atlanta offering full-service dental care specifically for teens and young adults — including surgical, orthodontic, and cosmetic treatments all in-house.
This age group needs more than a kid-friendly approach. That’s why our team includes specialists like Dr. Paul Cho, DMD, MD — a dual-degreed oral surgeon who brings hospital-level surgical expertise to our private practice setting.
From wisdom teeth removal and aligners to college-readiness cleanings and last-minute emergencies, we help young patients take ownership of their oral health — and feel confident doing it
A Bridge to Adulthood: Clinical Dentistry for Ages 12–20
This stage of life comes with rapid changes — physically, socially, and emotionally. We understand that a 13-year-old in braces has different needs than a 20-year-old finishing whitening before graduation photos.
Our teen & young adult dental care is designed around:
- Advanced diagnostics to track shifting teeth and jaw growth
- Custom orthodontic plans to fit busy academic and athletic schedules
- Surgical support for extractions or impactions
- Aesthetic treatments like whitening and discreet fillings
- One team for cleanings, emergencies, and long-term planning
Wisdom Teeth Removal: A Key Milestone, Done In-House
For many teens, wisdom tooth evaluation and removal is a rite of passage. We handle everything from digital imaging to recovery — right here in our Atlanta office.
- Evaluations begin in the mid-teen years with panoramic imaging
- If removal is needed, it’s performed by Dr. Paul Cho, our board-certified oral surgeon
- IV sedation is offered on-site for a calm, controlled experience
- No outside referrals or surgical centers
Confidence-Driven Orthodontics & Cosmetic Care
Teens are image-conscious — and we make sure their smile treatments fit their lifestyle. Whether it’s discreet aligners or braces before senior portraits, our options are modern, efficient, and tailored to boost both health and self-esteem.
Braces for Teens & Young Adults
Our braces are designed for appearance, comfort, and control. We offer:
- Low-profile metal brackets for a sleek, modern look
- Clear ceramic braces for a more discreet option
- Digital orthodontic planning for faster, more precise results
- In-house coordination with our oral surgeon for any needed extractions
Our orthodontic process is fully integrated — no external referrals, no off-site adjustments. Treatment stays on schedule because the entire team is under one roof.
Additional Aesthetic Options
We also offer:
- Clear Aligners for responsible teens who want flexibility without brackets
- Custom Sports Guards for athletes and musicians
- Teeth Whitening to finish orthodontic treatment with a bright, photo-ready smile
Our orthodontic care is personalized, professional, and planned around school calendars, social events, and long-term results.
Diagnostic Precision with Low-Radiation Technology
Parents and teens alike want smart, data-driven care — without unnecessary exposure or guesswork.
At every stage of orthodontic, restorative, or surgical treatment, we use Advanced Imaging & Safety protocols such as:
- Digital bitewing and panoramic X-rays
- Precision mapping for growth changes and impacted teeth
- Ultra-low radiation exposure standards
This helps us detect issues early, treat only when necessary, and build more efficient treatment plans.
Emergency Dental Care for the Active Teen
Life happens — especially during the teenage years. Whether it’s a sports injury, broken bracket, or sudden pain the night before school photos, we’re here.
We offer Same-Day Emergency Appointments for:
- Toothaches or swelling
- Knocked-out or broken teeth
- Orthodontic issues (wires, brackets)
- Accidents or falls
Because our providers know your teen’s history, we can act fast without compromising care.
All Care. One Office. Built Around PPO.
We are a private, PPO-focused boutique dental practice, which allows us to:
Spend more time on each visit
Use high-grade, esthetic materials
Offer IV sedation, surgery, and braces in one location
Coordinate complex care without third-party referrals
We work with most PPO dental plans and offer monthly financing through CareCredit and Cherry.
While we do not accept Medicaid, we’re happy to walk you through how to maximize your private insurance benefits for major services like wisdom teeth removal, aligners, and cosmetic treatment.
