Convenient Access from Sharon Springs
South Forsyth households choosing a dentist near Sharon Springs can reach Alpharetta Creek Restorative Dentistry in about 14 minutes. Our Alpharetta office on Kimball Bridge Rd is where Dr. Kai Liang, DDS, plans and places dental implants, then restores them with the final tooth. Every weekday starts at 7:00 AM, so a visit can come before work, errands or a morning class.
From Sharon Forks Library on Old Atlanta Road, head south and stay with the same line of pavement as it becomes Mathis Airport Parkway, then Brookwood Road, then Jones Bridge Road. Turn right on Kimball Bridge Rd, and the 7.4-mile trip ends at 4380 Kimball Bridge Rd, Alpharetta, GA 30022, just east of the State Bridge Road junction (view our Google Maps listing). Ocee Elementary School is our closest neighbor on that stretch, and the Publix on State Bridge Road sits a short way northwest of us.
Patients from Halcyon and Ocee share much of this corridor with Sharon Springs drivers. Nobody on this route has to merge onto GA 400.
One Office, One Dentist for South Forsyth Families
Sharon Springs is an unincorporated community in Forsyth County rather than a city. Voters turned down a proposal to incorporate it in 2018, so the name describes a stretch of south Forsyth, roughly between GA 400 and the Chattahoochee River and south of Cumming. Most homes there use Alpharetta, Duluth or Suwanee mailing addresses, which hints at how naturally daily life flows south.
Forsyth was the fastest-growing county in Georgia during the 2010s, and that growth shows in south Forsyth. Plenty of Sharon Springs households moved in during the last decade and are still settling on doctors, dentists and routines. Choosing a dental office along roads you already drive makes it far easier to keep checkups on the calendar.
That southward pull is why a Kimball Bridge Rd practice makes sense for Sharon Springs. Groceries, school runs and commutes already point this way, and our first appointments of the day begin at 7:00 AM Monday through Friday. Tuesday is our longest day, running until 5 PM, and Friday wraps up at 2 PM.
What sets this office apart is continuity. Dr. Kai sees every patient himself, from the first exam through any crown, implant or denture that follows. You will not be passed between offices for imaging, surgery and the final restoration.
A first visit usually starts with digital x-rays, which appear on screen instantly with less radiation than film, and intraoral camera photos of any problem areas. Dr. Kai then walks through what he sees in plain language. If treatment is needed, our team prices out your share before anything begins, and new patient forms can be completed online through our financial information and forms page.
The community's namesake park on Sharon Road is closed while Forsyth County rebuilds its campus, with reopening expected in early 2028. In the meantime, Sharon Forks Library has become an even busier gathering point, and it makes an easy starting point for the drive to our office.
Replacing Teeth Well: Notes for Sharon Springs Adults
The county's Sexton Hall Enrichment Center, just off Sharon Road, keeps a full calendar of programs for active older adults. Many people in that stage of life are living with dental work placed decades ago: large silver fillings, aging bridges or a gap left after an extraction. Each of those can be addressed, and the right choice depends on the bone, the gums and the teeth next door.
Bone matters most when a tooth has been missing for a while. The jaw tends to shrink where a root used to be, which can affect whether an implant fits. Dr. Kai uses cone beam CT imaging to see that bone in three dimensions, along with nearby nerves and sinuses, before recommending anything.
Gums come next. Implants and bridges both need healthy gum tissue around them, so active gum disease is treated first. Deep cleaning below the gumline, known as scaling and root planing, is often the starting point for patients who have not had a cleaning in some time.
For people who prefer something removable, full and partial dentures remain a solid option, and a digital scan replaces the old impression trays when fitting them. Our in-office 3D printer also produces surgical guides, which carry the digital implant plan into the procedure itself.
Not every worn tooth needs replacing. A molar that cracked around an old filling can often be saved with a crown, and Dr. Kai can design, mill and seat a ceramic crown in a single appointment using our Glidewell Fastmill unit. That spares Sharon Springs patients a second trip and a few weeks with a temporary.
Nervous about any of this? You are in good company, because Dr. Kai has dental anxiety himself. Raise your left hand at any point and everything stops, and the VibraJect system makes getting numb more comfortable. He explains each step before he starts, with no judgment if it has been years since your last visit.
Care Close By From a Dentist Near Sharon Springs
Dental Implants
Placement, healing checks and the final crown, bridge or implant-supported denture all happen here. For south Forsyth patients, that means one familiar office for the whole process instead of several drives to different specialists.
Periodontal Treatment
Bleeding, puffy or receding gums are signs worth checking. Treatment ranges from closer monitoring to scaling and root planing, and it lays the groundwork for any implant or bridge that comes later.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns, bridges and dentures rebuild teeth that are cracked, worn or decayed. Dr. Kai shows you the problem on a chairside screen before suggesting a repair.
Tooth Extraction
Saving a tooth always comes first. When one truly cannot be kept, simple and surgical extractions are done in-house, and the replacement can be planned before the tooth comes out.
Family Dentistry
Exams, cleanings and digital x-rays for patients six and older. Grandparents, parents and school-age kids from the same Sharon Springs household can all keep one dental home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Alpharetta Creek Restorative Dentistry from Sharon Springs, and how do I get there?
Sharon Forks Library is 7.4 miles from our office, about a 14-minute drive. Old Atlanta Road leads south into Mathis Airport Parkway, Brookwood Road and Jones Bridge Road, and a right on Kimball Bridge Rd brings you to us. For anyone who wants a dentist near Sharon Springs without a highway merge, the route works well, though rush hour can add a few minutes.
What happens if I wait years to replace a missing tooth?
The neighboring teeth can drift into the gap, and the tooth above or below it may slowly lengthen out of place. The jawbone where the root used to be also tends to shrink. Replacing a tooth sooner keeps more options open, and Dr. Kai uses cone beam CT imaging to check the bone before suggesting an implant, bridge or partial.
What happens during scaling and root planing?
It is a deep cleaning below the gumline. Hardened tartar is removed from the root surfaces, and those roots are then smoothed so the gums can heal snugly against the teeth. The treatment targets active gum disease, and the area is numbed first for comfort. Healthy gums also give any later implant or bridge a sounder foundation.
Is an implant or a bridge easier to keep clean?
An implant is usually simpler, because you brush and floss it much like a natural tooth. A bridge joins teeth together, so cleaning under the false tooth takes a floss threader or a small brush. Either one lasts longer with regular cleanings, and our team shows you how to care for whichever option you choose.
Will I pay any tolls driving in from Sharon Springs?
No. The surface roads between south Forsyth and Kimball Bridge Rd carry no tolls, and the drive never joins GA 400. That also means the express toll lanes planned for GA 400, expected around 2031, will not change this trip. A Peach Pass is not needed to reach the office from the Sharon Forks Library area.
