There are dental offices and there are dental offices. The best selection for a dental office would include a great doctor with excellent technical and verbal skills, an extremely friendly and professional staff, the latest, modern equipment, spa amenities at no extra charge, and most importantly, very competitive fees. All these wonderful features are all wrapped up under one roof at Fountain View Family Dentistry, located on Eagle Drive in Towne Lake just off of Bells Ferry Road.
Dr. Scott R. Harden is all you envision in the ideal dentist. He has extensive training and experience with all levels of dentistry that benefits your entire family. From excellent pediatric care for children to cosmetic and restorative care for all ages to a specialized combination of all his talents to treat the often complicated needs of the elderly, Dr. Harden’s care is extensive to meet all levels of dental need.
What separates Dr. Harden from other dentists is clearly his connection with his patients. During pediatric procedures, he utilizes computer anesthesia, which is painless and greatly builds confidence in children allowing them to see dental visits as a positive experience. Dr. Harden will often get a child uniquely involved in the dental process to gain their interest. He will also count to five and stop during treatment to give the child patient a sense of timing that is unbelievably effective.
Having performed a very thorough interview with one of the patients at Fountain View Family Dentistry, Mary, the response to the very unique spa dental atmosphere she experienced was “the best dental experience I have ever had”. From massage chairs in the reception room, fountains throughout creating the soothing sound of cascading water, relaxing music, dimly lit treatment rooms with domed ceilings possessing a beautiful fiber optic star scape (painted by Dr. Harden’s wife), relaxation is inescapable. The patient went on to say, “the complimentary paraffin wax treatment for your hands, massaging dental chair, warm towel at the end of the appointment with juice or water all ensure patients will love each visit as much as I did”.
I would have expected all these amenities and the phenomenal attention to detail to translate to more expensive dental fees, but I was very surprised to find that the prices at Fountain View Family Dentistry were in line with other dental offices in the area, making their office an exceptional choice and an exceptional value.
The staff all proved to be a perfect extension of the caring philosophy. The ladies in the front office provided excellent customer service and were highly trained and organized which was reflected in the smiles of their happy customers. The patient, Mary, stated her hygiene visit was very gentle and was extremely informative. “I was shown digital x-rays and digital pictures of my teeth on a computer monitor that was amazingly informative and clearly discussed with me by the hygienist and the doctor. A picture is worth a thousand words. They showed every detail about my teeth, so I could easily understand their findings. They also used a laser that could determine if I had cavities or not. This was the most thorough dental visit I have ever had. I felt very confident in their diagnosis and treatment plan for my mouth.
Dr. Harden has been practicing for over two decades in Cherokee County. His vision of changing decade-old dental traditions into the modern world of spa dentistry makes your visit a positive experience. His strong commitment to his patients and how hard he tries to make them feel comfortable is evident. Many patients at Fountain View Family Dentistry have been with Dr. Harden for twenty years and clearly demonstrate a high level of devotion and confidence in him.
In addition to routine family dentistry, large restorative needs or cosmetic smile makeovers are also handled proficiently. There is a fine art and science to this process and their utilization of digital photography, communication with their patients, photographic enhancements, before and after smile models, all demonstrate predictable results their patients find incredible. This restorative and cosmetic technique was discussed by Dr. Harden on the Discovery Channel.
Fountain View Family Dentistry is a one – stop convenience for dental care. A board-certified orthodontist, Dr. Rachel Frisbee, is located inside their office. This is very beneficial for families. Parents can coordinate cleanings and adjustments very conveniently. The cross-over communication between Dr. Harden and Dr. Frisbee offers great benefits to the treatment outcome of children and adults alike.
Geriatric dentistry is a very unique area of dental care. Teeth are less sensitive in the elderly and decay can often spread without awareness. Gum disease is a similar problem that often does not hurt and without routine dental exams can cause bone loss and cause teeth to become loose. Dentures that have been anchored to teeth cause problems. Dr. Harden uses his restorative training to help elderly patients as well and helps create comfortable solutions that correct broken and infected teeth often seen in geriatric dentistry.
