About Dr. Anderson:
Dr. Steven Anderson opened his first private dental practice in November 2005. After working for other dental practices in the area, he decided to move out on his own. As a man of many talents and with a lot of ambition, Dr. Anderson built the 9000 sq.ft. professional building where he, his staff, and his dental practice occupied the top floor for nearly 23 years.
“Dentistry is a second career for me,” he says. “I was an executive in computer science, and did a couple start-up companies; but that career required a lot of traveling, and I was tired of that. My family was starting to grow too and I wanted to stay home and watch the boys grow.”
As a result, Dr. Anderson graduated with numerous honors and earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from the University of Louisville in Kentucky, which is one of the nation’s top dental schools.
Dr. Anderson focuses on comprehensive and quality patient care. Dr. Anderson says, “We focus on our patients and their needs and wants. Our patients are very important to us. We do not treat them like a number or rush through treatment. We want to know each patient and we demonstrate that by spending time to do quality work.”
“It takes time to diagnose a patient’s problem correctly and even more time to do quality dentistry; otherwise things get missed,” he says. “I support quality dentistry and that extra time and effort usually comes with a little bit of a cost differential; but it is worth it to receive the correct diagnosis followed by high quality care.” Dr. Anderson notes this is sometimes lost or not seen as necessary these days with the ever-increasing effort to find or provide cheap dental care. He feels this is tragic because dental disease is often preventable and much more affordable when treated early. A disease like periodontal (gum/bone) disease may affect your whole body, is costly to treat, and has become the most common reason why adults loose their teeth.
Under Dr. Anderson's dental care, you can expect to receive comprehensive, quality dental care, which focuses on your total oral health being examined, correctly diagnosed, and explained to every patient. “Sometimes I have patients who see me for treatment and they say ‘My other dentist didn’t say that.’ Often times their problem can be directly related to an inappropriate initial dental diagnosis,” he says. Dr. Anderson takes time with each of his patients; with modern diagnostics and training, he is dedicated to knowing and treating the diseases that affect the oral health of his patients.
Dr. Anderson's current concierge private dental practice is a modern, well-equipped office with his wife Shelley, at his side bringing her 25 years dental experience. “I have always been absolutely committed to surrounding myself with a highly experienced, caring staff every day for patient care,” Dr. Anderson says. “It makes a big difference for everyone . . .everyday.”
Dr. Anderson will see children at age one, and adults beyond 101. “In my profession, disease prevention is important at any age. Tooth decay is the most common disease in the world, and oral disease continues to be intertwined with total body health and wellness. In fact, a growing body of research has identified a connection between oral health and chronic diseases such as Alzheimer's, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other serious conditions affecting millions of people.
Dr. Anderson is also trained in complex dental surgeries such as wisdom teeth extractions, dental implant surgery and sinus lifts. Dental implants are titanium screws that are surgically placed in the jaw bone to replace the root-form and crown of a lost or extracted tooth.
Clear braces and clear aligner orthodontics are two other unique offerings of Dr. Anderson and allow patients to straighten teeth without metal brackets in as little as six months.
Dr. Anderson and wife Shelley, enjoy their empty nest free time traveling on long weekends visiting three boys and 8 grandchildren in South Georgia and two boys in California.
