Why Choose Our Practice?
In this video, Dr. Aaron Bratton explains the personalized care approach at Atkins Dental Clinic, where every patient is treated as an individual with unique needs. Schedule a consultation today to experience dental care tailored specifically to you, with a focus on quality and real outcomes.
If you’ve visited one of the chain dental clinics that are becoming more common in our area, you may have felt like just another number, part of a system focused on meeting quotas rather than personal care. At my clinic, we take a different approach.
We build relationships with our patients because we care about real outcomes. We take the time to listen, explain, and educate if that’s what you want. We don’t rush through appointments, and we don’t treat dentistry like a race. If a procedure takes longer than expected, we adjust and make sure it’s done right, even if that means working late.
When you walk into my clinic, you are treated as an individual with unique needs, and your treatment is tailored to what works best for you. We don’t follow a one-size-fits-all approach—our only standard is providing the best care possible for every patient who comes through our doors.

What Are Mini Dental Implants? A Quick Overview
You may already know the basic idea behind a dental implant: a durable post that takes the place of a missing root and supports a new tooth. That’s the classic model, and it works well. Mini dental implants use the same principle, but their slimmer, one-piece titanium design offers possibilities the traditional model can’t always provide. The smaller size [...]
What the Best Gum Disease Treatment Looks Like Today
Gum disease is one of the most common oral health conditions, and it often develops gradually, often going unnoticed until symptoms become more difficult to ignore. Factors like genetics and overall health can raise your risk, but everyday habits have the greatest influence. When plaque lingers along the gumline, inflammation takes hold, and over time, it can progress into [...]
Why More Adults Are Choosing Braces Alternatives
Once upon a time, every phone had a home. You’d pace as far as the cord allowed, twisting it between your fingers while you talked. If you wanted comfort, you brought the conversation to the couch, dragging the phone, the cord, and maybe a stool along for the ride. It worked. The voices came through clear, the connections held [...]
How a Sinus Lift Helps Support Dental Implants
Before a builder pours concrete or a gardener plants a seed, the ground must be studied. Its composition, its strength, and its readiness to hold what’s to come all determine the outcome. A solid foundation, whether made of earth or intention, gives support to things that last. The same idea applies in dentistry. Before placing an implant, we make [...]
What Is a One-Piece Dental Implant? [A Video Guide]
Before the Band-Aid, caring for a cut required patience and parts: gauze, tape, scissors, and a steady hand. It worked, but it wasn’t simple. Then someone realized that the pieces didn’t have to stay separate. That small act of joining what already existed created something entirely new, a solution so practical it became second nature. So, what is a [...]
A Closer Look at the Smile Makeover Process
When we hear the word “makeover,” our minds often go straight to a movie montage. There’s upbeat music, a confident strut out of the dressing room, maybe a pair of sunglasses being tossed on for effect. Or we picture a home renovation show, where the walls are knocked down and the camera pans across a space that feels brighter, [...]

What Are Clear Aligners and Why Are They So Popular?
The number of people choosing clear aligners has soared in recent years, reshaping the way we think about orthodontics. But it raises a serious question: what is it about clear aligners that makes them so appealing? How can a series of thin plastic trays compete with the time-tested wires and brackets of traditional braces? At first glance, it seems [...]
