Who We Are
My staff and I are committed to providing our patients in the Athens Oconee area with the finest care we are capable of in an environment that is relaxed and comfortable. We want our patients to have optimal oral health and we work hard at facilitating communication both to and from our patients for that purpose.
-
To provide a health-centered practice with the ability to help people achieve the highest level of well being personally appropriate for them.
-
To have as patients those people that demonstrate their appreciation for optimum health through their commitment to be an active partner in their oral health.
-
To accomplish this with the highest degree of care, skill, and judgment that we can provide, thus enhancing the quality of their lives and our own.
-
To have a caring team that will strive for excellence in both our personal and professional life.
-
To create a professional environment and caring atmosphere conducive to the above for our patients and their family
We listen when you have a concern about anything related to your oral health or our practice. We do detailed initial examinations along with an interview with Dr. Hall. We want to know what’s been done in your mouth and what your current concerns are. We will explain what is going on in your mouth as we examine you. Lastly, if you have more than just a few dental needs then Dr. Hall and Dr. Shah will sit down with you in our consultation room to give you options and plan your treatment.
We strive to make every visit not only dentally successful and comfortable but fun! We enjoy what we do and we love our patients. Why shouldn’t it be fun?
We want you to love your dentistry as much as we do. We will not finalize any work in your mouth without you saying it looks and feels good.
We work hard to keep you maintaining your teeth at home. Yes, we offer cleanings and gum services, however, we only do a small part to keep your mouth healthy. Excellent home care is critical for good oral health. Dr. Hall, his hygienists, and Dr. Shah are absolutely committed to motivating and instructing our patients on how to keep their mouth in optimal health.
We strive for excellence in our dental procedures. We regularly attend continuing education courses so we can do beautiful and functional dentistry that will last. We also continually reevaluate how we do dentistry at regular staff meetings.

DentistA Modern Office
Watch a show of your choice on Netflix during your appointment. This helps make long appointments more enjoyable and comfortable.
The Keurig machine brews an instant cup of coffee. We keep it stocked with a variety of flavors, including hot chocolate.
We use an angled digital x-ray sensor to minimize the discomfort that patients experience with regular x-ray sensors.
Located off of the Oconee Connector, the office is in a new building with a modern, clean, and comfortable design.
We use state of the art technology to ensure that our patients receive the best treatment. Dr. Hall is continually investing in the practice to make sure that the practice is ahead in technology.
At our office, you’ll almost never have to wait for a crown.
Using advanced CEREC® technology, we can have what used to be “lab-work” done while you are in the chair. This saves our patients a significant amount of time.

Did you know that your dental hygienist...
- Completes TWO years of prerequisite courses including everything from psychology, chemistry, anatomy, and microbiology, so they can “just clean your teeth”
- Completes an additional TWO years of intense textbook and clinical courses, so they can “just clean your teeth”
- Completes numerous Radiology courses and learns the science and history of radiography, and how to expose clinically accurate and diagnostic radiographs in order to minimize your radiation exposure, so they can “just clean your teeth”
- Completes Pharmacology in order to understand the effects of medications (not just on your oral cavity but on your body as a whole), so they can “just clean your teeth”
- Completes a Periodontology course in order to accurately and competently assess and treat your oral health (both healthy and diseased), so they can “just clean your teeth”
- Completes a Histology course in order to understand how your teeth started forming in utero before you were even born, so they can “just clean your teeth”
- Completes courses regarding complex medical conditions in order to understand how conditions like heart disease and diabetes affect your oral health, so they can “just clean your teeth”
- Completes training on tobacco cessation in order to arm you with tools to help you fight your tobacco habits, so they can “just clean your teeth”
- Completes courses that involve individual development in order to understand how to tailor treatment and education to patients of all ages, so they can “just clean your teeth”
- Completes and maintains certifications on Basic Life Support and CPR, so they can “just clean your teeth”

- Completes hours and hours of Continuing Education courses (yearly) in order to stay current on the newest developments in medical, dental, and hygiene...so they can “just clean your teeth”
Clearly I could go on and on...
So the next time you ask for “just a cleaning” consider all that you are negating in your hygienist’s education.
Considering all that we have COMPLETED...we want to treat you COMPLETELY as well.
We have degrees from colleges and universities. We have state licenses to uphold - we are more than “the maids of the mouth.”
