Dentist Duluth, GA

From Duluth High School to Kimball Bridge Rd

Dr. Kai has lived in Georgia almost all his life, and he graduated from Duluth High School here in Gwinnett County. He went on to study biology at Georgia State University and earned his dental degree at USC in California. Today he cares for patients from the community where he finished high school.

The town gives families plenty to do. The Duluth Branch Library sits on Main Street downtown, and the Western Gwinnett Bikeway links the city to Berkeley Lake, Norcross and Suwanee along Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. Two large public high schools, Duluth High and Peachtree Ridge High, keep plenty of local families busy with games and practices.

The city runs seven parks of its own, including Scott Hudgens Park, W.P. Jones Park and Bunten Road Park. Bunten Road alone has ballfields, soccer fields, tennis courts, indoor basketball and paved paths for walking and biking. A town that active produces its share of chipped teeth, sore jaws and last-minute dental questions.

Adults have their own reasons to visit. Clenching through a stressful workweek can flatten teeth and leave the jaw sore, and a nightguard printed in our office from a digital scan protects the enamel while you sleep. Cone beam CT imaging also helps when wisdom teeth or an old injury need a closer look.

Making the Dental Chair Easier for Duluth Patients

Plenty of adults put off checkups because the dental chair makes them uneasy. Dr. Kai understands that firsthand, since he has dental anxiety himself, and it shapes how every appointment here runs. He explains each step before he begins, and there is no lecture if it has been years since your last cleaning.

The simplest tool is a raised hand. Lift your left hand at any point and everything pauses right away, so you stay in control the whole time. For numbing, the VibraJect injection system makes the process more comfortable than a standard shot alone.

Small comforts help too. Each treatment room has a pillow, a blanket and a TV, and the reception area offers complimentary coffee and tea. You can learn more on our dental anxiety and comfort dentistry page before you book.

For student athletes, one piece of general advice is worth repeating: a well-fitting mouthguard during contact sports protects front teeth far better than nothing. If a tooth does crack, a same-day crown milled in our office with Glidewell Fastmill can often restore it in one appointment, with no temporary.
