Gilreath Family Dentistry has been part of the Marietta community since 1962 and is now led by a third generation of dentists. That long history means our doctors understand what it takes to build lasting relationships with families: honest recommendations, consistent care and genuine attention to every patient.
Seeing the same doctors year after year also means better care. Our team gets to know each family member’s dental history, monitors children’s development as they grow and catches changes early for patients of every age.

Comprehensive Dental Care for Every Age
Our doctors see children beginning at age 3, and parents who would like an earlier consultation are always welcome to schedule one. A child’s early dental visits shape how they feel about the dentist for life, so we make every visit positive, comfortable and fun.
Dental care for children at Gilreath Family Dentistry focuses on:
- Healthy habits: Teaching children how to brush and floss correctly and why daily brushing matters
- Gentle cavity care: Treating any decay comfortably with the latest techniques, including no-drill options when appropriate
- Growth monitoring: Tracking how the teeth and jaws develop at every visit
- Interceptive orthodontics: Using fixed appliances, when helpful, to create additional room for teeth as a child grows
- Dental injuries: Providing prompt care if a child has an accident that affects the teeth
Most children’s dental care can be completed right in our Marietta office, and every young patient leaves with a prize for being such a great patient.
The tween and teen years bring new oral health challenges. Plaque buildup tends to increase during this stage, and gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease, often begins. Our doctors help teens stay on track with ongoing cavity care, hygiene coaching and preventive treatments such as dental sealants. Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the molars, and sometimes the premolars, once the permanent teeth have come in. They’re quick, painless and highly effective at preventing cavities.
This is also when most patients straighten their teeth. Gilreath Family Dentistry offers both traditional braces and Invisalign Teen, and our doctors help families choose the best option for each teen. For cases that need more specialized care, we work closely with several excellent orthodontists in the area and refer patients when needed.
Adult dental care at Gilreath Family Dentistry focuses on keeping teeth strong, gums healthy, and smiles looking their best through every stage of life. As patients get older, our doctors pay close attention to concerns that become more common with age, such as gum health, worn or aging dental work, and medications that can affect the mouth.
Whether it’s a routine cleaning, a same-day crown or a complete smile restoration, every treatment plan is built around each patient’s comfort, health and long-term goals.
