Dr. Elchahal is Going Green in Dacula, GA

Our Hamilton Mill office in Dacula, which is relocating next month to 2055 Hamilton Creek Pkwy, Suite 100, Dacula, will be the first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certified Orthodontic Office in Georgia!

Dr. Alec Elchahal designed the office to reflect his commitment to the well being of his patients, staff and environment. He wants to demonstrate the relationship between one's oral health and the health of our environment to our patients. He is very excited about this project and the opportunity to serve the community.

LEED is the nationally recognized benchmark for green building and operations governed by the U.S. Green Building Council. The office will be constructed with products with a high-recycled content and salvaged materials. In the day-to-day operations, Dr. Elchahal will use energy efficient products such as lighting, water consumption as well as recycling.

What’s so special about an Orthodontist?

"Dentists, Orthodontists, they're all the same right?" We hear our patients asking this question as they wonder about the difference between an orthodontist and a dentist. Before becoming an orthodontist Dr. Elchahal started out in dental school and earned a DDS (dental degree), just like your dentist. After dental school however, Dr. Elchahal decided he wanted to learn more about orthodontics, which is one of nine specialties within the dental field. So he stayed in school for a few more years and became an expert in orthodontics; which focuses on tooth and jaw alignment and bite problems like overbites and under bites.

Other dental specialties you may have heard of include endodontic (focusing on the soft tissue inside your teeth), periodontic (focusing on the gums and other tissues surrounding your teeth) and prosthodontic (focusing on restoring and replacing damaged teeth).

Isn't it nice to know there's a dental expert here to help you through any type of treatment your teeth, jaw and gums might need?
