INTOWN SMILE STUDIO CREATES HEALTHY AND BEAUTIFUL SMILES FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

ARTICLE SUSAN BALDANI

Midtown Lifestyle | February 2019

DR. SUSAN ESTEP HAS BEEN PRACTICING DENTISTRY FOR 18 YEARS, AND AFTER SHARING A SUCCESSFUL AND WELL-KNOWN PRACTICE IN ATLANTA FOR 13 OF THOSE YEARS, SHE WENT OUT ON HER OWN AND OPENED INTOWN SMILE STUDIO TWO YEARS AGO. An award-winning dentist, she has been voted consecutively as one of Atlanta’s Top Cosmetic Dentists.

Intown Smile Studio offers general and cosmetic dentistry for people of all ages.

Dr. Estep’s education and years of experience creating beautiful smiles are what have made her stand out in the community. She has spent her entire career taking extra courses in aesthetic and cosmetic techniques and is constantly seeking new technologies and alternative ways of treating her patients.

One of these newer innovations is no-prep veneers. There is no drilling and no contouring of the natural teeth. Dr. Estep says she can “completely recreate someone’s smile without having to do any damage.”

She also believes in customizing smiles to the individual.

“I pay attention to what’s unique about you and what your interests are to help you achieve the smile you’re looking for that suits you and your personality,” she says.

She also uses whitening technology and orthodontic technology, among other things, to improve and create beautiful smiles.

Whatever the procedure, Dr. Estep aims to ensure that she’s giving the most comfortable treatment available.

“We cater to people with dental anxiety, and I

“I’VE SPENT MY CAREER DEVISING METHODS AND USING TECHNOLOGY THAT REMOVES DISCOMFORT FROM ALMOST ANYTHING WE DO.”

think that patients who have real dental phobias find us because of our reviews,” she says.

She says she has become known as the dentist who gives shots that patients can’t feel.

“I hate needles, and I realized I had to ease people’s pain. I’ve spent my career devising methods and using technology that removes discomfort from almost anything we do,” she says.

Another primary goal for her patients is complete health.

“We are very focused on and pay a lot of attention to the link between the health of your mouth

and your total health and wellness. We believe that we can improve the health of our community in big and small ways one smile at a time,” she says.

Dr. Estep also praises her Intown Smile Studio team.

“My team is committed to our mission which is to deliver excellence in dentistry and excellence in service in the most pampering and comfortable environment.”

Did You Know?

A caldera is a large volcanic crater typically formed by a major eruption leading to the collapse of the mouth of a volcano. Forming the southernmost member of the Cyclades island group, Santorini is the remains of the Minoan eruption that, 3,600 years ago, destroyed a formerly single island and created the current caldera.

About 25 minutes up the coast is where you can catch sights of what people often refer to as arguably the best sunsets you’ll ever see. Catch some of the best panoramic views of Santorini from 15th-century Byzantine castle ruins.

Situated on the side of caldera cliffs, Oia village offers tons of breathtaking viewing spots. Be sure to get there well before sunset—because of the area’s sundown popularity, you’ll find crowds of people gathered on streets, rooftops and stairs anticipating the one-of-akind experience.
