- Marietta, GA
If you’re looking for a dentist in Powder Springs, a good one is worth a drive across West Cobb. Elevation Dental and Aesthetics is on Kennesaw Avenue in Marietta, about 15 miles from Powder Springs City Hall by way of Barrett Parkway. Our practice has cared for Cobb County patients for more than 30 years, and Dr. Spencer Harden, Dr. Vo and Dr. Hull offer general, cosmetic, sedation and implant care in one office.
Powder Springs has an unusual origin story. The town was incorporated as Springville in 1838 and renamed in 1859 for its seven mineral springs, whose water turns the surrounding sand black like gunpowder. Today it’s known for a historic downtown, McEachern and Hillgrove high schools, and direct access to the Silver Comet Trail, according to the city.
Dental anxiety is one of the most common reasons people put off care, and putting it off usually makes treatment bigger later. A sedation dentist can help break that cycle. Our sedation dentistry options come in three levels, so the approach can match how you feel and what the visit involves.
Before recommending anything, your sedation dentist reviews your health history and current medications. If needles, sounds or a bad past experience are what bother you, tell us. We’ll talk through ways to make the visit easier before treatment starts.
Gum disease usually starts quietly, with gums that look red, feel tender or bleed when you brush. Left alone, it can spread to the bone that holds your teeth in place, and in the worst cases teeth loosen or need to come out. The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research notes that only a professional cleaning can remove hardened tartar, which is one reason regular visits matter.
Routine cleanings with any dentist in Powder Springs or Marietta handle most of that buildup. If we see signs of infection, our gum disease treatment options start with a deep cleaning and continue with ongoing periodontal care when needed. Keeping your gums healthy also protects any implants, crowns or cosmetic work you already have.
A missing tooth is more than a gap. The bone beneath it slowly shrinks, and nearby teeth can drift out of place. Dental implants replace the root with a post anchored in the jaw, then hold a crown, bridge or full arch. We offer dental implants for a single tooth, implant supported dentures, snap in locator dentures and full arch treatment.
Careful planning makes the difference. Guided implant surgery lets us place each post based on detailed imaging, and bone grafting can strengthen an area first when needed. Many people who were told by a dentist in Powder Springs or elsewhere that they weren’t candidates for dental implants have more options than they think, so a consultation is worth the trip.
Store bought strips can lift some surface stains, but professional teeth whitening is more predictable and is supervised by a cosmetic dentist who knows your enamel and gums. It’s often the first step patients take toward a brighter smile.
When whitening isn’t enough, a cosmetic dentist has other tools. Bonding repairs chips and small gaps, porcelain veneers can reshape and brighten the front teeth, and Invisalign clear aligners straighten teeth without brackets. Your cosmetic dentist will suggest an order that makes sense, since whitening usually comes before any bonding or veneers are color matched.
Between football at Walter H. Cantrell Stadium, band practice and homework, school weeks fill up fast. Checkups twice a year with a dentist in Powder Springs or Marietta catch small cavities before they turn into toothaches during exam week. For kids, sealants and fluoride treatments are used as needed to guard against decay on the chewing surfaces of back teeth.
Student athletes should also ask about a properly fitted mouthguard at their next checkup. A guard made for your child’s mouth stays in place better than a stock one from the sporting goods aisle, which makes it more likely they’ll actually wear it. Teens with braces need extra care, since a hit to the face can damage brackets and cut the lips and cheeks.
Parents looking for one dentist in Powder Springs or nearby for the whole family often book their own cleanings on the same day as their kids’ visits. Let us know when you call, and we’ll try to line the appointments up so one trip covers the whole family.

With nitrous oxide or oral sedation, most patients stay awake but feel very relaxed. Deeper sedation is available for longer procedures, and your sedation dentist will explain what to expect before your visit.
If you choose oral sedation or deeper sedation, plan for someone to drive you. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, so most patients can drive themselves afterward.
No. Whitening works on natural enamel, not on crowns, veneers or bonding. That’s why we usually whiten first and then match any new restorations to your brighter shade.
