Dr. Joel Benk Using advanced technology to provide better care
W Message from Dr. Joel Benk, DDS Over the past 31 years I have had the opportunity to help thousands of people all over Atlanta improve their lives through quality dental care. For most people, dentistry starts with preserving their teeth and gums to keep their mouths healthy and functional. But beyond that is another facet of dentistry entirely— one devoted to building confidence in your appearance that emanates outward. Cosmetic Dentistry includes those procedures that will re-shape, realign, whiten or replace your teeth and gums to give you a beautiful, natural smile that you can be proud of. You could say this is the artistic side to being a dentist. I have dedicated my practice to providing high-quality work using the best materials and most advanced technology available, and I look forward to helping you achieve the smile you deserve.

e’ve seen amazing advances in dental technology over the years,” says Dr. Benk of the Atlanta Dental Center. “It’s a great time to be a dentist and an even greater time to be a patient.” A rapid survey of patients will tell you just how true those words are at the Atlanta Dental Center, headed by Dr. Benk with his associates Dr. Schmidt and Dr. Choy. Now in his 31st year of practice, Dr. Benk reflects on just how far the technology of dentistry has come.
STAYING ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF TECHNOLOGY
“Today we have same-visit service for crowns and smile makeovers thanks to CEREC® 3D technology. We place dental implants using 3D cone beam digital x-rays. And we can do it all faster and with less pain than at any time in history,” says Dr. Benk. Dr. Benk maintains a state-of-the-art office that boasts the latest technology, such as the CEREC 3D system for single-visit crowns and tooth restoration, intra-oral cameras, a soft-tissue laser to correct a “gummy smile” and digital x-rays to analyze your teeth and smile.
Dr. Benk has helped thousands of people through his practice.
Dr. Benk is an internationally recognized teacher. He has instructed over 1,000 dentists in advanced CEREC technology and is a leader in his field.
Below: Dr. Benk has treated scores of performers over the past 20 years as an oncall dentist for the renowned Fox Theatre of Atlanta, home to touring productions of Chicago, Grease, Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King and more.
PERSONAL CARE AND COMMUNICATION
Although the practice is high-tech, it remains “high-touch.” A special effort is made to help patients feel comfortable during their visits. Blankets keep patients warm and the time speeds by while they watch a favorite television program or movie during procedures. Emphasis is also placed on patient education. “We never lecture or pre-judge,” says Dr. Benk, “but we give patients the knowledge to make informed decisions.”

M
ore than twenty years ago, Taunya Lowe received a business card from the school nurse at her college with Dr. Benk’s phone number on it. Today she enjoys the smile she always dreamed of, and more. “In my very first visit to Dr. Benk I found out that my wisdom teeth had to come out,” said Taunya. “He made me feel comfortable with the procedure, and I’ve been a patient of his ever since.” Since that first visit, Taunya has received cosmetic procedures to perfect her smile, including replacing her silver fillings with tooth-colored inlays, orthodontics to straighten her teeth, dental implants and veneers. The results speak for themselves. “I always get compliments on my smile,” said Taunya. “And I don’t ever remember feeling pain at Dr. Benk’s office.”
IMPROVE YOUR SMILE, BOOST YOUR CONFIDENCE
Thanks to modern technology, there is almost no problem with your teeth or gums that cannot be corrected. Some common cosmetic problems Dr. Benk encounters include stained teeth, chipped or broken-down teeth, crooked teeth, yellow teeth, gaps in teeth and more. Many of these can present health issues, but all of them affect your appearance. At Dr. Benk’s office, the dentists have many tools at their disposal to give you

Advanced Dental Technology Digital X-Rays
It can require up to 18 x-rays to give a complete picture of your teeth. That’s why the Atlanta Dental Center uses digital x-rays for your safety. These emit much less radiation than traditional x-rays and allow the doctor and patient to see small details in your teeth. It is much more accurate and will help you understand your treatment.
CEREC®
Laser Dentistry
Dr. Benk uses laser treatment to address gum disease and to eliminate excess gum tissue (gummy smiles). Using laser dentistry helps make your treatment more comfortable, quicker, minimizes post-treatment pain and bleeding, and speeds healing.

CEREC is an acronym for CERamic REConstruction, which is 3D technology that allows Dr. Benk to create a custom crown or tooth restoration in minutes. No temporary crowns and no second visits. CEREC restorations are made from high-quality ceramic, which closely approximates natural tooth material.
“The Wand” is a device that provides computer-controlled anesthetic. That means it carefully distributes just the right amount of local anesthetic in exactly the right spot. This not only prevents you from having a huge section of your mouth numbed to handle a single tooth, but also gives you gentle injections that Dr. Benk’s patients routinely comment on.

Dental Implants have been around more than two decades. Modern breakthroughs have made it possible for more people to receive the benefits of implant dentistry, with greater comfort and ease.
“I
had been wanting a Hollywood smile but wasn’t sure where to go. After a friend told me Dr. Benk was one of the best dentists in the city, I decided to try him out,” says Patrick O’Brien, owner of Malibu Utilities, an underground utility company. A visit to Dr. Benk for some dental work convinced him that with Dr. Benk’s expertise and the modern technology in the office, he was ready to get his smile taken care of. “I had seen a lot of work on people that didn’t look good to me, looked fake or just not right. When I saw how good Dr. Benk’s work was I decided to get my smile makeover done.” Part of Patrick’s work included getting some old crowned teeth replaced with dental implants. Using a cone beam scanner, Dr. Benk took 360° 3D digital x-rays and designed Patrick’s implants so that they would fit precisely. “I got veneers on the rest of my teeth and now I have an amazing smile and I get a lot of compliments,” says Patrick. “Dr. Benk was really fast and got it right the first time. There wasn’t any pain during the implant procedure and only slight pain for a short time after.

MAKING DENTAL IMPLANTS SAFE AND COMFORTABLE A dental implant is basically a replacement tooth. Consisting of a titanium post that acts as the root, and a porcelain crown on top, it looks,
“The entire implant process was painless. And now I have my Hollywood smile.”—Patrick O’Brien feels and acts like a natural tooth. The placement of dental implants has become an increasingly precise science over the past five years. The development of computerized implant technology enables a dentist to use virtual tools for performing implant surgery to ensure the most precise and accurate placement of
the implant post in the patient’s mouth. We asked Dr. Benk why he encourages patients to consider implant surgery above other options to replace missing teeth. “In the past if someone had missing teeth, they would usually get a bridge to replace a single tooth, or pull out more teeth to create a partial denture,” explains Dr. Benk. “Both of these solutions are better than being toothless, but they don’t give you the freedom to eat the foods you like, or prevent against bone loss.” “When the implant is placed, you don’t want the patient feeling anything unusual,” says Dr. Benk. “That’s why I use the Guided Implant System—it makes it possible to get the right location and angle so that the patient can chew, talk and smile without feeling a thing. I know I’ve done my job when the patient comes back and can’t remember which tooth has the implant!”.

“Today’s 3D X-ray imaging technology makes it possible to do precise, guided implant dentistry.” — Dr. Joel Benk
“ What is Guided Implant Dentistry? What is Guided Implant Dentistry? Guided Implant Dentistry is a system that makes it possible for a dentist to place implants at exactly the right angle and depth in your jaw. It starts with 3D Imaging, a special type of low-radiation x-ray that shows images like the ones you see to the right. This system enables Dr. Benk to see every facet of your jaw and determine the exact right location for the implant, as well as the shape and size that will fit best for your mouth.

Dental Implants: Replacements for Missing Teeth
678.666.1944 THE FIRST STEP IN GETTING DENTAL IMPLANTS is a consultation with Dr. Benk. He reviews x-rays and establishes whether the person is a candidate for dental implants or what might need to be done so that he or she can have them placed. He also discusses the different treatment options available for missing teeth, and how each might work for the person’s particular case. Dr. Benk explains very thoroughly the implant procedure and answers any questions about it.
LEFT: Dr. Benk uses the Planmeca Cone Beam imaging system to take 3D, 360° x-ray images of the mouth, jaw, neck and skull, right in his office. Being able to see any tooth or the jaw joint in a 360° view is a huge advantage and greatly improves the accuracy of the implant and the efficiency of the surgery. RIGHT: Dr. Benk plans the surgery with every factor taken into account.
LEFT: Dr. Benk uses a revolutionary system to create surgical guides that determine the exact size, depth and angle of the titanium post placement. After surgery, Dr. Benk might recommend a temporary crown while the post integrates into the jaw bone. RIGHT: The new tooth (crown) is designed and milled in the computerized lab using the highest quality porcelain.

with Precision Dental Implants Dental Implants are the modern replacement for missing teeth, and with new technology they are quick and comfortable to place. Patients are generally delighted with the difference implants make to their smile and life!
“After Dr. Benk gave me various options for my teeth, I decided to go ahead with dental implants. The surgery itself was quick and easy. It was the best thing I ever did. “I didn’t even need to take a Motrin afterwards. In fact I have never needed any kind of pain medication after any of the procedures I have done with Dr. Benk. “Everyone is really friendly and the office runs like clockwork. Dr. Benk is highly skilled, meticulous and efficient. I really believe he is a genius and I always tell anyone I talk to who has dental issues, that Dr. Benk is the dentist to go to.”—Doug Corder “I have been coming to Dr. Benk for over 20 years and he has always taken good care of me. He has kept up with whatever new technology was coming out. I have the wonderful smile I have today because of him. “Dr. Benk explained my implant surgery very thoroughly. The surgery went off beautifully and my implants are fabulous. I have had no problems with them—they fit right in with the rest of my teeth.” — Sabrina Fuller
“Dr. Benk has been my dentist for more than 15 years. His practice is state-of-the-art, so when I broke a tooth, I called him immediately. The thought of getting an implant made me feel quite dreadful, but I’m happy to report that it was a relatively painless process and well worth it. My tooth looks absolutely natural—from the shape to the color—and I have Drs. Benk and Schmidt to thank for that.” —Jennifer Wheelock
“After many years of dental horror sessions, I had become fairly cynical—frightened even of going to the dentist. My experience with Dr. Benk changed my entire attitude and confidence level. “The procedure for my implants went off as if it were the perfect textbook case. Also, the time went very quickly. During the procedure Dr. Benk and his two assistants never left my side and they repeatedly asked if I was okay. “There was zero pain, I repeat, zero pain. I was astounded at how easy it had all been. Amazingly, I drove myself home and was able to enjoy a regular lunch and resume my regular schedule of activities! “Dr. Benk is a charismatic, confident and a successful professional. He and the staff are world-class professionals who are able to mesh state-of-the-art training skills with personal respect and support for their patients.” —Dorothy S.

Durable, natural-looking Porcelain Veneers
Natural-Looking
Veneers
Porcelain
Today there are many options available to you if you want to improve your smile. Among the most effective and versatile of these methods are porcelain veneers. Veneers are a simple and rapid way to improve a smile without surgery and without extracting and replacing your teeth. They are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded onto the front side of your teeth as a way to make cosmetic changes for teeth that are discolored, worn, chipped, or misaligned.
STRENGTH AND DURABILITY Once your custom veneers have been created, they are bonded onto your teeth to create a beautiful and natural effect. They are designed to last for many years with proper oral care. Veneers can be used to fix spaces between teeth, unsightly or stained teeth and fillings, broken or chipped teeth, crooked teeth and more.
A PIONEER IN VENEERS
Dr. Benk has been placing veneers since 1982 and is in fact one of the pioneers of this technology. Originally they were used to handle teeth stained by the antibiotic Tetracycline.

One-Visit Crowns and Restorations
One-Visit
Crowns
Dr. Joel Benk is an internationally recognized instructor in the CEREC® 3D method. CEREC makes it possible to place a high-quality permanent crown or inlay in a single visit instead of the usual two to three visits.
What is CEREC? CEREC® is an acronym for Ceramic Reconstruction. It is an advanced dental system designed to provide crowns and other tooth restorations in minutes. The CEREC process begins with taking an optical impression of your tooth. Using 3D imaging in a computer, the restoration is customdesigned for your mouth. The new tooth or restoration is then milled out of a ceramic block to fit perfectly into place. Minutes later the crown or restoration is bonded into place. No temporaries. No follow-up visits required. Dr. Benk is one of the top CEREC dentists in the country and regularly holds courses to train others in CEREC procedures.
A digital mold is created for your new tooth.
M
any dental procedures traditionally require more than one visit to complete, but with CEREC 3D technology (see sidebar at left), Dr. Benk has been helping patients avoid that second (or third or fourth) visit for years. “Temporary crowns can be unpredictable,” explains Dr. Benk. “Most of the time they will last until your next appointment, but even so, who wants to come back if you can avoid it? That’s the magic of CEREC.”
GOT METAL?
Another advantage to CEREC is the ability to make durable, tooth-colored replacements for old metal amalgam fillings or to restore broken-down teeth without the use of a crown. These are CEREC inlays and onlays. The CEREC milling machine carves out porcelain to lay inside or on top of your tooth. Best of all, it’s ready in minutes.

Everything works excellently and I have never had any problems with any of the dental work. Dr. Benk is very friendly,
knowledgeable and professional. He is sensitive to your needs, especially about any pain. He is always concerned about my comfort level. After a tiring procedure he would let me rest in the room.
