Services
Preventative Dentistry
Our preventative dentistry focuses on maintaining optimal oral health through regular checkups, cleanings, and patient education. We emphasize early detection of issues like cavities and gum disease to prevent complications. Services include fluoride treatments, nightguards for bruxism, and oral cancer screenings, ensuring long-term dental wellness for families in Savannah.
Gum Disease Treatment
We specialize in treating gum disease through scaling, root planing, and antibiotic therapy to eliminate infections and prevent reinfection. Our team provides deep cleanings and ongoing maintenance plans to preserve gum health. Early intervention helps patients avoid tooth loss and maintain a strong foundation for their smiles.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns restore damaged or decayed teeth with durable, natural-looking restorations. We use all-porcelain crowns for aesthetic integration and structural support. Crowns protect weakened teeth, repair fractures, and enhance smiles while preserving dental function for long-term oral health.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services, including veneers, teeth whitening, and bonding, address aesthetic imperfections to boost confidence. We offer personalized smile makeovers using advanced techniques. Treatments are designed to deliver natural results that align with individual goals and facial harmony.
Emergency Dentistry
We provide same-day appointments for dental emergencies like toothaches, broken teeth, and infections. Our team prioritizes rapid pain relief and treatment to save damaged teeth. Emergency services include extractions, root canals, and temporary restorations to stabilize oral health.

I was always so scared of the dentist but this place is amazing! The team is so welcoming and kind. Dr. Fana was quick and accommodating when I chipped a tooth and needed to be seen asap before going out of town. I would recommend compass dental to anyone!

Having worn an upper appliance for 74 years, replaced several times of course, I have never had a tooth fall out of the appliance. until that provided by Dr. Fana. Within two years a tooth fell out on two occasions. No cost to fix the first but there was one for the second. Remember, 74 years with no loss; with Fana two losses in 2 years. A professional should provide a reasonable guarantee against sloppy work, and if that work is performed by a supplier, the professional should hold the supplier responsible for proper work. Fana's original charge was vastly more expensive than all prior ones in total, emphasizing the clear need for professionalism.
