Why Atlanta Patients Trust Simpson Smile Studio
A Different Kind of Dental Checkup

Gentle, Thorough Cleaning
Your visit usually starts with a gentle cleaning. We remove plaque and tartar you cannot reach at home, smooth the tooth surfaces, and polish away surface stains. If you feel anxious or sensitive, tell us. We can slow down, take breaks, and offer a comfort menu so you can relax while we work.
Digital X-rays When Needed
These images use low radiation and give a clear view of what is happening between teeth and below the gums, where we cannot see directly. X-rays help us spot cavities, infections, and bone changes early, often before you feel anything. We only recommend them when they add real value to your care and explain why they are needed before we begin.


Exam with Clear Explanations
Dr. Simpson then performs a careful exam of your teeth, gums, and bite. He looks for cavities, cracks, signs of gum disease, wear from grinding, and any problems with existing dental work. Using an intraoral camera, he can show you what he sees on a nearby screen. Rather than just telling you, he walks through each area in clear everyday language so you understand what is healthy, what needs watching, and what may need treatment.
Oral Cancer Screening
Every checkup includes a quick but important oral cancer screening. Dr. Simpson checks your tongue, lips, cheeks, and the back of your throat for any unusual spots or changes. This screening is painless and takes only a moment, but it can help catch issues earlier when they are easier to treat. It is part of our commitment to care for your whole health, not just your teeth.

We Take Your Insurance

If You’re Overdue or Nervous
If you have not seen a dentist in years, you are not alone. Many of our patients started in that same place.
You will not be scolded or shamed here. We focus on where you are now and what you want going forward. We start with a conversation, a gentle exam, and then build a phased plan that feels realistic instead of trying to “fix everything” at once.
If you have dental anxiety, let us know when you schedule or when you arrive. We can use extra-numbing techniques, laughing gas, or oral sedation when appropriate, and we go at your pace.

How Often Should You See the Dentist?
Most people do well with a dental checkup and cleaning about every six months. Those regular visits give us a chance to clean what you can’t reach at home, spot small issues before they grow, and keep your gums and teeth healthy over time.
That said, there’s no one schedule that fits everyone. If you have gum concerns, a history of frequent cavities, medical conditions, or a lot of past dental work, we may suggest coming in a bit more often. If your mouth is very stable, we may recommend a slightly longer interval.

How to Find the Best Dentist Near You
What to Look For in a Dentist
- They listen first: You should feel like the dentist is actually hearing your concerns, not just moving you through a checklist.
- They explain things clearly: Treatment, options, and costs should be broken down in simple language so you’re never left guessing.
- They respect your comfort and anxiety: A good office makes space for fear, past experiences, and sensory needs instead of telling you to “just relax.”
- They offer phased, realistic plans: When there’s a lot to do, they break it into steps that feel doable, not overwhelming.
Questions to Ask Yourself
- “Do I feel judged or supported?”
If you feel shamed about missed visits or the condition of your teeth, it may not be the right fit. - “Do I understand what they’re recommending?”
If you leave confused about what’s urgent, what can wait, and why something is needed, that’s a red flag. - “Is there help when something goes wrong?”
Look for same-day emergency time and a team that answers the phone ready to listen and guide you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it hurt?
A routine checkup should not be painful. If you have sensitive areas, we can use numbing gel, extra local anesthesia, or sedation options when appropriate and adjust how we work so you stay as comfortable as possible.
Do you take my insurance?
We accept most PPO plans along with Medicaid and HMO coverage and can check your specific benefits for you. If you do not have insurance, we can talk through fees, CareCredit, and in-house payment options before treatment begins.
How do I schedule my first checkup?
You can call our office or request an appointment online. Let us know if you are anxious or overdue so we can plan extra time to listen, explain, and make your first visit as calm and supportive as possible.
What if I haven’t had a checkup in years?
You can still start with us, even if it has been a long time. We will look at your current health, talk through what you are most worried about, and create a simple plan that helps you move forward at a pace that feels comfortable.
How long does a dental checkup take?
Most checkups take about 60 minutes, depending on whether you are due for X-rays and how much cleaning is needed. We leave time to answer your questions and explain any findings so you never feel rushed.
