Serenity Smiles

Offering Continuity of Care in a Patient-Focused Practice

By Cyndi Braun

Want to have a beautiful smile? Whether its time for braces, restorative work, or regular dental cleanings, its time for Serenity.

Established five years ago, Serenity Smiles now has multiple locations in north Georgia, including Roswell, where patients receive care in one convenient office.

Dentists at this independently owned practice provide quality care, using the latest technology and best treatment methods. The practice offers a full range of adult and family dentistry services, orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, and oral surgery.

In todays world, in everything you do, people look at your smile first. When you are happy with your smile, you have more confidence in yourself, said Dr. Susan Podray, orthodontist and owner of the practice. Our goal is to help our patients attain the smile theyve always wanted.

Quality Orthodontic Care
When most people think of orthodontic treatment, they think of braces. But, at Serenity Smiles, orthodontic treatment is more than just braces. By preventing, diagnosing, and treating facial and dental irregularities, a gateway to self confidence and a better life for teens and adults is created.

As a private practice, Serenity Smiles does not have corporate mandates dictating how they care for patients. Instead, providers make treatment decisions based on customized needs of individual patients. In addition, patients can be sure that the orthodontist they see at the beginning of treatment will be the same one they see when treatment is completed.
One-third of Dr. Podrays patients are adults seeking to straighten their teeth and correct misaligned jaws. Adults get braces for a variety of reasons. Some are tired of crowded teeth that are difficult to clean properly; others just want to improve their appearance. In some cases, a dentist recommends orthodontics prior to performing restorative care.

Through orthodontics, we can have a really beautiful effect on patients of all ages, said Dr. Podray. I love what I do, and I have an amazing team. We work hard to achieve results quickly and gently, and we do our best to make sure patients are happy and comfortable during treatment.

Treatment options include:
Invisalign
Using clear plastic trays that are changed every couple of weeks, patients wear Invisalign for 22 hours a day to straighten their teeth. The appliances are removed for eating and drinking as well as brushing and flossing.

InBrace Lingual Braces
For patients who desire invisible treatment, InBrace Lingual Braces are a great choice because they are placed behind the teeth. Patients floss normally and dont have to worry about removable appliances like Invisalign.

Damon Braces
These high-technology, tie-less braces dont need to be tightened and are gentle to the teeth. The Damon System means fewer office visits and shorter treatment times. They are available in metal or clear.

Braces With Colors
Gone are the days of boring traditional brackets. Todays teens can choose neon, metallic, bold, and pastel colors.

After patients complete their corrective treatment, Dr. Podray recommends wearing a retainer for life to ensure that straightened teeth do not relapse over time. She encourages patients to choose a fixed retainer because wearing a retainer consistently ensures the teeth remain straight.
Comprehensive Dental Care
Dr. Steven Foltz, the family dentist at Serenity Smiles, provides dental care for patients of all ages. Services include routine exams, fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, root canal surgery, and dental emergencies. Dr. Foltz customizes care by building relationships with patients.

I get to know my patients and what they want to accomplish, and we work together towards their goals, said Dr. Foltz. We make the dental experience comfortable, even offering TV or Netflix to distract patients. I use gentle techniques born out of compassion to make sure my patients have a positive experience.

The orthodontist and dentist often work as a team to transform smiles. For example, Dr. Podray might make the foundation of the bite better, so Dr. Foltz can perform restorative care such as crowns and implants. Having both providers at one location makes the transformation more convenient for patients.

My treatment approach is that a healthier mouth means a healthier you. I love helping my patients to improve both their oral health and their overall well-being, said Dr. Foltz. Im going to do everything I can to help my patients maintain their teeth.
