Dr. James B. Gray- Creating Smiles

We would like to congratulate Stephanie M. for getting her braces off today!!

Greetings! We are so excited to share we are SLOWLY reopening our practice! We are eager to see each and every one of you! We have truly missed your developing smiles. :D While most have been sheltering in place, we have been here working diligently to ensure this is the safest place in ROSWELL! Upon your first visit, you will see many new procedures. We have additional COVID-19 consent forms which MUST be completed prior to being seen. You may find these forms in the New P...atient section of our website, creatingsmiles.net. Once you enter the building and reach the top of the stairs, Marlene will greet you with a big smile! However, it will be covered. :D She will direct you in a series of activities that must be completed before we can see you. These steps will aid in keeping our staff and our community as safe as can be. Please be patient with us as we implement our new safety precautions and reference the list below as you prepare for your upcoming appointment. IMPORTANT: Consent forms relative to COVID-19 must be completed prior to being seen. For all minor patients accompanied by a parent or guardian, these forms can be signed at our office at the appointment. We can also mail or e-mail these forms prior to the appointment for your convenience. Our tooth brushing station has been temporarily closed in response to the COVID-19 recommendations. Please brush prior to your appointment(s) until further notice. Our office will be cooler than before due to the additional PPE (personal protective equipment) that we will be wearing. So, please dress accordingly. We have reached out to schedule many appointments. We are diligently working to place everyone on our calendar. If you sent (or send) a text, we monitor and answer during operating hours. Again, please be patient. As you can imagine, we are receiving many text messages. We can’t wait to see you! Dr. Gray and Team

Message from the office of Dr. James Gray: Our office remains closed except for essential services. Those of you that have an appointment for an essential appointment have been or will be confirmed for that appointment. All other appointments are considered cancelled until further notice. If you need attention of at any time during our closure, you may call the office at 770-993-6292. Please LIKE our facebook page for more up to date information. Remember, you are also a part...ner in the process and your oral health care doesn’t end between visits. Here are a few tips for caring for your teeth in between now and your next visit: 1. Clean your teeth multiple times a day. If you’re sporting an orthodontic appliance, either braces or aligners, keeping your teeth clean is important no matter the situation. Follow the guidelines noted in step two below to ensure you’re doing the job well. 2. Use what you have at home. You likely have all the supplies you need already. A little water, your toothbrush, some floss and toothpaste go a long way. If you need the prescribed Fluoride tooth paste or rinse, call us. Rinse your mouth with water after drinking a sugary or acidic beverage. Brush your teeth and gums after every meal or snack. Floss once a day. And don’t forget to look in the mirror to make sure you’ve cleaned thoroughly each time. 3. Wear your elastics or retainers as prescribed. Keep your orthodontic treatment on track by following the recommendations of your orthodontist. Running low on rubber bands? Don’t worry. Call our office & we will mail them to you. 4. Avoid problematic foods and drinks. Due to the potential uncertainty of when you will be able to visit your orthodontist, it is especially important to handle your appliances with care. Avoid hard, sticky foods that could potentially break brackets. Skip or limit sugary beverages like sports drinks and soda. Water is best! 5. Call us if you have any questions. We are here for you. Contact us if you have any concerns during this time. These are just a few steps you can take to help keep things on track with your orthodontic treatment. A little extra effort on your end now will pay off big time when you get back into your orthodontic routine. See more

Due to the Corona virus outbreak, our office will be closed for normal routine orthodontic procedures. We will continue to update and follow up with all of our patients via email, text and here on Facebook. We will miss our patients for the time being. Please keep on being safe, happy, and healthy!
