Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a permanent solution for missing teeth, providing stability and natural function through surgically placed titanium posts. Our team specializes in implant placement and restoration, ensuring long-term oral health and confidence. Patients benefit from personalized consultations and advanced techniques to restore both aesthetics and functionality.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly using custom-made, removable aligners that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. Ideal for adults and teens, this treatment addresses crowding and bite issues without traditional braces. Our dentists create tailored plans to achieve optimal results in comfort and aesthetics.
CEREC Same-Day Crowns
CEREC technology allows us to design, fabricate, and place crowns in a single appointment, eliminating the need for multiple visits and temporary restorations. Using 3D imaging, we ensure precise fit and durability while preserving natural tooth structure for lasting smiles.
Preventive Dental Care
Our preventive program includes cleanings, exams, and fluoride treatments to maintain oral health and prevent decay or disease. We educate patients on proper hygiene and early intervention strategies, promoting lifelong dental wellness through regular, proactive care.
Restorative Solutions
We address broken or missing teeth with restorative treatments like fillings, bridges, and dentures to restore function and appearance. Our approach prioritizes durability and aesthetics, using high-quality materials to rebuild smiles compromised by damage or decay.

I love this dentist office, Dr. Whitworth is the best! The whole staff is wonderful and friendly. I was very uncomfortable going in the first time since I lost a front tooth, I felt like a monster and they just put me at ease immediately. They definitely went above and beyond for me and I greatly appreciate knowing people like this amazing group of people still exist.

This place is AMAZING. Staff and Dr. Wootton are so friendly. I was at ease the entire time. I had my wisdom teeth removed, was a bit nervous going in, but the atmosphere and the staff helped calm me and made the entire process so much better. Would highly recommend Winterville Dental to everyone

I have been to two other dentists in Athens and this practice is miles and miles better. Dr. Wooten is so kind and he really does care about your level of comfort in a way that most dentists don't. I have dental anxiety so that takes a lot for me. His wife, Allison, is a nurse there and she is just amazing, and you can't help but love her along with the other staff that work there. They pay attention to detail and Dr. Wooten is empathetic and does an amazing job every time not only with his work but keeping you informed with exactly what he is doing. I hesitate posting this review because I don't want to share him and Allison, haha! Seriously, 10/10 recommend this practice, it's the best one I've EVER been to!

Dr. Brandon Whitworth is not just a dentist, he's an upstanding guy, with a heart of gold. I have been going to Winterville Dental for a few years now and I am very pleased with his work. Not only is he wonderful, but his staff is excellent as well. They are ALL so friendly and helpful. It must be the best place to work ever, because not once in all of the time that I've been going there, have I ever seen anyone angry, upset or in a bad mood. That is important for people like me who are afraid to go to the dentist. Keep doing what you do Winterville Dental!

I had my first visit here today and was so impressed. The staff was kind, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Dr. Whitworth was extremely thorough and made the whole experience as pleasant going to the dentist can be. I highly recommend this practice if you live in the Athens area.

I absolutely love Winterville Dental. Everyone was so nice. The environment was warm and inviting. My Dr was the best and my exam was so comprehensive. Not all the news from my diagnosis was good but everything was explained so I was left with all questions answered. My only regret is that I didn't find them sooner.
