What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first visit is designed to help you understand what is going on and what comes next. Whether you are here for a cleaning, a broken tooth, a second opinion, or something more complex, our team takes time to look carefully and explain clearly.
At Pinewood, we use photos, digital scans, and thoughtful exams to evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, function, airway, and long-term health. We will explain what looks healthy, what needs attention, and what can wait.
Our goal is simple: help you make confident decisions about your care without pressure or confusion.

General Dentistry
Healthy teeth and gums are the foundation of long-term dental health. At Pinewood Dentistry, general dentistry includes cleanings, exams, fillings, crowns, gum health, digital scans, and clear explanations to help you stay ahead of problems. We do not just look at one tooth at a time. We also consider your bite, wear patterns, jaw function, airway clues, and long-term goals, so your care feels practical, thoughtful, and built to last.

Dental Implants
Tooth loss affects more than how your smile looks—it can interfere with chewing, speech, and long-term oral health. At Pinewood Dentistry, we offer modern dental implant solutions in both Sandy Springs and Cumming to restore function and appearance. Our approach involves detailed evaluation of your bite, bone support, and overall oral condition to ensure implants are placed with accuracy and longevity in mind. Whether you need a single implant or a full-arch restoration, your care will be personalized from start to finish. Our goal is to provide natural-looking, functional results that allow you to eat, speak, and smile with total confidence.

Emergency Dentistry
Dental problems do not wait for the right time. If you are dealing with tooth pain, swelling, a broken tooth, a lost filling, or dental trauma, Pinewood Dentistry offers urgent dental care in Cumming and Sandy Springs. Our team can often treat the problem in-office with options such as root canal therapy, same-day crowns, extractions, fillings, or other restorative care. After we address the immediate concern, we also help you understand why it happened and how to prevent similar problems in the future.

Oral Surgery
Some dental concerns require surgical solutions to fully restore health and function. At Pinewood Dentistry, we offer expert oral surgery in a comfortable setting—whether you visit us in Cumming or Sandy Springs. Our doctors perform a variety of procedures, including wisdom tooth removal, tooth extractions, and bone grafts for dental implants. What makes our care different is our commitment to comprehensive planning and whole-system evaluation. From your initial consultation through to recovery, we prioritize comfort, precision, and long-term stability. If you’re in pain or have been advised to consider oral surgery, our team is here to provide personalized care in a safe and supportive environment.

Sedation Dentistry
Dental visits don’t have to be stressful. At Pinewood Dentistry, we understand that many patients experience fear or anxiety about treatment, which is why we offer a range of sedation options at both our Sandy Springs and Cumming clinics. Whether you’re undergoing a complex procedure or simply feel nervous about your appointment, our trained team will help you choose the sedation method that best suits your needs. Sedation allows us to complete your care efficiently while you remain calm and at ease. We take your comfort seriously—and by supporting both your emotional and physical well-being, we help make sure your results are strong, healthy, and long-lasting.

Sleep & Airway Dentistry
Sleep and airway concerns can affect more than snoring. They may show up as fatigue, clenching, grinding, tooth wear, jaw soreness, dry mouth, or difficulty feeling rested. At Pinewood, we look at how your teeth, bite, jaw development, tongue space, and airway may be connected. For some patients, CPAP or medical sleep care may be the right answer. For others, dental options such as oral appliance therapy, clear aligners, palatal expansion, or MARPE adult expansion may be part of the conversation. If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, suspect you may have airway issues, or want to understand how breathing and dental health may be connected, we can help you take the next step.

ReviewsA Surprisingly Great Dental Cleaning!
I recently had a cleaning at Pinewood Dentistry and it was, surprisingly, an amazing experience! I know, “amazing” and “dentist” don’t usually go together, but seriously, it was fantastic.
From the moment I walked in, the reception staff was incredibly welcoming and efficient. There was no long wait, and they got me right in. My hygienist, was absolutely wonderful. They were not only incredibly thorough with the cleaning, but also so gentle. I usually brace myself for some discomfort, but this was genuinely pain-free. They clearly explained everything they were doing, asked if I had any concerns, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process.

I’ve had very good experiences with Dr. Bishop and the staff at Pinewood. They are very friendly and efficient, and the tech they use is impressive.
Dr. Bishop takes the time to listen attentively to my concerns and explains everything clearly to ensure I feel comfortable and informed during my visit.
I highly recommend Dr. Bishop. You’ll be in excellent hands!
Tim Fetter
This was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’m still amazed at the amount of work that was done in one visit. My teeth are beautiful and these are only temporary! Not only is Dr. Fantaski amazing at what he does, he listens and tries to accommodate as well. He and his staff are very professional and friendly. They always make me feel welcome.
Cindy Mincey
I always have an exceptional experience whenever I am in the office! The staff, the atmosphere, and the service are all amazing! If you’re wanting a brighter and healthier smile, this is the dental office for you! Thanks Christina for keeping my teeth nice and clean! You won’t regret it!
Carl Foster
I typically do not write reviews, but really want to share how exceptional both the care and team of people are at Pinewood Dentistry Sandy Springs. Every single person I interacted with over the phone and at the office went above and beyond for me. Thank you to Alex, Perla, Christina, Taylor and Dr. Urvi for being incredibly kind throughout my two recent visits! Thank you for answering my questions in detail, showing me pictures so I could fully understand what was happening and then taking such great care of my teeth. I am very grateful to have chosen this office as my new dental practice. I have no doubt that you all treat every patient with the same level of care and I could not recommend you more highly!
Kate Wildman
Best dentist I’ve ever been to by a long shot. They’re more than just your run of the mill dentist cleaning your teeth telling you to floss and get out. They really care about you and helping you have the healthiest teeth possible to save you time, pain, and money. The state of the art technology and very comfortable office / chairs are the cherry on top of a great experience. Highly recommend.
