Thomas J. Morrison, D.D.S., opened the first Morrison Dental Associates office in 1972 in Savannah on 31st Street and the practice has been growing ever since. MDA has served tens of thousands of patients at offices in Savannah, Atlanta, Brunswick and South Carolina’s Lowcountry. After more than 40 years, Morrison Dental Associates continues to operate with the same philosophy that motivated Dr. Morrison to found the practice: everyone deserves the highest quality dental care at an affordable price.
ORTHODONTICS
ORTHODONTICS
Orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics focus on the treatment and correction of improper bites. These irregularities can be caused by tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships or a combination of the two. Orthodontic treatment may be focused on dental displacement only or can moderate and regulate facial growth.
After graduating from dental school, orthodontists go on for another two or more years of education just in orthodontics to become experts. At Morrison Dental Associates, we are dedicated to helping your teeth and jaws work together as a unit to enable you to talk and eat properly and without discomfort. And we know straight teeth look good too!
At Morrison Dental Associates, you will be treated by an orthodontic expert who has been educated to understand the relationship between your teeth, your jaws and your facial muscles. Just like any other doctor, these specialists devote additional years of study to orthodontics after they graduate from dental school. And like their medical counterparts, orthodontists only practice in their specialty area.
Get Your Bite Right
Your bite is a complex biologic system. Its components include up to 32 teeth, upper and lower jaws, gums and facial muscles. Your healthy bite is the orthodontist’s goal. The key is making sure that these elements are positioned for optimal performance and comfort. You may see six crooked front teeth, but the orthodontic experts at Morrison Dental Associates see the cause of crooked teeth in three dimensions. (And then we fix it!) Armed with a multi-faceted diagnosis, we plan an affordable solution that results in a healthy, attractive smile.
From invisible braces to traditional braces, there are a lot of treatment options these days. It’s our job to determine what will be best for you. They each have their uses, but we have the knowledge to recommend the best treatment plan for your specific circumstances. At Morrison Dental Associates, we take your unique needs and wishes into consideration and recommend the best option for you.
