O'Neal Perio

O'Neal Perio is a distinguished Periodontal Practice located in Marietta, GA, led by Dr. A. Cheria O'Neal, DMD, MHS. The practice is dedicated to the specialized field of periodontics, focusing on the health and stability of the supportive gum tissue and jawbone structures that underpin teeth. Dr. Cheria O'Neal is a highly qualified Periodontist who has completed extensive training beyond general dental school, making her an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of various periodontal conditions. Her practice offers a comprehensive range of services, often working in collaboration with a patient's general dentist to ensure holistic and continuous oral care. Key services provided by O'Neal Perio include: Periodontal Therapy: This encompasses both non-surgical and surgical approaches to treat periodontal (gum) disease. Non-surgical therapy often involves root planing, a deep cleaning procedure to remove bacteria and tartar from tooth root surfaces. Surgical interventions may be necessary for deeper cleaning, or to facilitate bone and soft tissue grafting. Dental Implants: As a specialist in implant dentistry, Dr. O'Neal places dental implants to replace missing teeth, working to restore both the function and aesthetics of a patient's smile. This includes single dental implants and solutions for multiple missing teeth. Laser Periodontics: O'Neal Perio utilizes advanced laser technology, such as Waterlase® Dentistry and Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP®), for the treatment of periodontal disease. This approach often provides a more comfortable experience for patients, aiding in bacterial control, efficient removal of deposits, and promoting faster healing. Bone Grafts: Dr. O'Neal specializes in bone grafting procedures to correct jawbone defects or augment bone support, particularly crucial for successful dental implant placement. Soft Tissue Grafts: These procedures are performed to restore gum tissue, often to address gum recession or enhance the health and appearance of the gums. The practice emphasizes patient comfort and utilizes modern techniques and technology to deliver high-quality care. O'Neal Perio aims to not only treat existing conditions but also educate patients on maintaining long-term periodontal health through consistent home care and regular follow-up appointments. Their commitment extends to community service, with Dr. O'Neal actively involved in providing dental services to underserved individuals through programs like the Good Samaritan Health Center of Cobb County and the Cobb County Dental Society Child Assistance Program.
