Dr. Marvin Chan from Advanced Restorative Solutions has provided personalized dental care to thousands of families. Our patients come from near and far to experience the warm, individualized care we provide. We pride ourselves in utilizing the most modern equipment and methods available.
In order to provide nothing but the best to our patients, our office uses state-of-the-art technologies in all our procedures. These new technologies allow us to detect dental concerns at early stages, treat your dental issues with precision, and provide stunning and customized restorations.
Indoor air can become contaminated by things brought in from outdoors. This can include dust, dirt, allergens, skin cells, mold, bacteria, fungus, viruses and volatile organic compounds. When working properly, our immune systems do a great job of fighting off these contaminants. However, with our state-of-the-art air purification system we can take these contaminants out of the air before they reach our bodies.
The system cleans, purifies and re-energizes the indoor air by capturing dust particles, pollen, allergens, viruses, and other pollutants that are found indoors. It works quietly and effectively to create a healthy and stress-free environment for all our patients.
3D imaging is an incredible improvement on the traditional x-ray. First and foremost, it dramatically decreases the amount of patient exposure to radiation. As its name implies, 3D imaging also provides more accuracy and efficiency in monitoring growth and detecting dental problems. The digital images capture the entire mouth and jaw from every angle. Popular 3D imaging systems include iCAT, CRANEX and GALILEOS.
Society has made so many advances in communication in recent years—why not utilize that for appointment reminders? As dental offices go digital, reminders can go beyond the written cards or personal phone calls that are prone to human error. Systems are becoming computerized and automated, providing patients timely reminders through email and sometimes text messaging too.
Our automated system will keep you informed about your upcoming dental appointments. Once you schedule your appointment, our system seamlessly integrates your details to ensure you receive timely reminders—be it text messages, emails, or automated phone calls. These friendly reminders leading up to your appointment date and time will keep you informed without being intrusive.
Ask our staff at the front desk about the options we provide so we can set up a reminder system that is most convenient for you.

Some procedures require more detailed imagery to ensure that you receive the highest quality of care. CBCT technology allows us to visualize your teeth and jaw in 3D. This is essential for the placement of dental implants, treatment of root canals, and extraction of wisdom teeth.
The name really gives it away.
Have you ever noticed someone with a tooth that just doesn’t match? With computerized shade matching, inaccurately and inconsistently colored restorations are a thing of the past. At Highlands Point Dental in Cartersville, we use computerized shade matching to ensure that your restorative procedure matches the color of your natural teeth. Our computerized system uses a small hand-held device that captures tooth hue to create precise color matches. Your new restoration will match well and look natural.
Dental implants are the most cutting-edge therapy available for the replacement of missing teeth.
In order to provide the highest quality of implant placement results, we use a CBCT Scan — a cutting-edge alternative to the traditional CT scan and an incredible improvement on the traditional x-ray.
This machine takes 3-D and digital panoramic images of your mouth, allowing us to monitoring growth and diagnosing problems, as well as capture a thorough view the entire mouth from every angle. With the CBCT Scanner, implant therapy is more predictable and more precise than ever before.
At Advanced Restorative Solutions, your cosmetic goals are always within reach, thanks to state-of-the-art technology, such as the Opus Plasma. This one-of-a-kind platform utilizes high-frequency, unipolar, radiofrequency energy. Unparalleled skin rejuvenation is made possible through the use of the device’s fractional plasma technology that allows for extensive personalization options in order to meet each patient’s unique needs. From skin laxity and wrinkles to scars, the Opus Plasma is capable of treating an array of skin issues that may be affecting your self-confidence.
Digital impressions are the most up-to-date technology used for taking impressions of the teeth.
There are four major scanner systems that dentists can use: Cadent iTero, 3M ESPE Lava COS, CEREC by Sirona, and E4D by D4D Technologies.
With digital impressions, you no longer have to suffer through uncomfortable traditional impression trays or temporaries. Rather, we simply scan your teeth with our impression technology to create a digital image. We then use this image to produce the restoration of choice, either on-site or through a milling lab. Once the restoration is created, we are able to blend the restoration in with your surrounding teeth, adjust as needed and give it a final polish.
Digital imaging revolutionizes the way we capture and analyze dental information. We use digital imaging software in our office for efficient diagnosis and treatment prediction. It also significantly lowers radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays, prioritizing your safety without compromising on accuracy.
Our digital imaging software includes technology like intraoral cameras, digital x-rays and 3D imaging.
This advanced imaging is especially beneficial for patients who are considering cosmetic procedures but are not sure if they’re ready for dramatic changes. With digital imaging we can predict how a particular treatment or cosmetic procedure would change the appearance of your teeth before doing any work.
Accurate and detailed imaging also assists in early detection of dental problems, leading to more effective treatments and streamlined procedures. The digital images we take of your face, teeth and smile are stored in our system and provide a permanent dental record that allows us to visually document your treatments over the years.
What are the benefits of digital imaging?
Navigating insurance can be complex, which is why we utilize electronic claims processing.
This means that rather than being sent through the mail, a dental claim is sent electronically to an insurance company with the click of a button. We can submit information more efficiently and with fewer errors. This benefits patients because the turn-around time on claims is faster and fewer claims are returned or denied.
Benefits of our advanced electronic claims software include:
We are happy to submit your dental claims to your insurance company on your behalf. Please let us know if you have any questions about e-claims. Our team is here to assist you every step of the way and answer any questions you may have about the insurance process.
The advantage of the electric handpieces is that they cut teeth very efficiently and smoothly with much less vibration. This leads to much less trauma to the pulp, more comfort for patients, and a shorter time in the treatment chair. With less trauma to the pulp, the teeth are less likely to die; therefore, the risk for root canal treatment is greatly reduced.
We remain at the forefront of modern endodontics with cutting-edge technology that ensures precise and comfortable root canal treatments. Our electronic apex locator enhances the accuracy and success of root canal procedures.
An apex locator is an electronic device used during a root canal treatment that helps determine the length of a root canal. The device works by using a pair of electrodes to measure the apex of the root, which has a specific resistance to electrical current. By using an apex locator, we are able to provide a more accurate diagnosis and, therefore, more accurate treatment.
Our dental professionals are trained and proficient in using electronic apex locators. Your treatment will be more precise, more efficient and more comfortable.
The benefits of using an electronic apex locator include higher success rates for root canal treatments and reduced risk of complications.
Dental face scanners are revolutionizing the way dentists plan and execute treatments. These advanced devices use 3D technology to capture a precise digital replica of a patient’s face. This detailed information is invaluable for a variety of dental procedures, from cosmetic dentistry to complex restorative work.
How Does it Work?
A dental face scanner typically uses a series of cameras or lasers to create a 3D image of the patient’s face. The process is quick and painless, requiring only a few minutes to complete. The captured data is then processed by computer software to generate a highly accurate 3D model.
Benefits of Dental Face Scanners
Enhanced Accuracy: By providing a comprehensive view of the patient’s facial structure, dental face scanners help dentists create more precise treatment plans.
Intraoral cameras, cameras about the size of a pen, help dentists see the condition of teeth and gums more clearly. This advanced technology allows us to zoom in on small diseased areas, cracks, chips and fillings to provide a more detailed view. The full-color images are sent to a computer screen, making it easy to see and diagnose dental problems much earlier than with traditional dental technology.
Because the images are displaced on a computer screen right next to the treatment chair, intraoral cameras also offer patients an up-close view, empowering them to actively participate in their dental journey.
Intraoral cameras offer the following benefits:
Intraoral cameras assist in thorough dental assessments, helping us tailor treatment plans specifically to your needs. Because they are lightweight and easy to move we can ensure a gentle and comfortable experience during your examination.
We believe that informed patients make empowered decisions. Our intraoral cameras empower you to take an active role in maintaining your oral health.
We have a genuine concern for your overall health and well-being. It’s because of this that we invest in state-of-the-art oral cancer screening technology to ensure your health for life.
Did you know that in the United States, one person dies every hour from oral cancer? Oral cancer has a cure rate of more than 80 percent—if it is detected and treated early. The mortality rates are high because diagnoses come too late. Very few patients are properly screened by their dentists. At our practice, we perform an oral cancer screening with every exam. We utilize an advanced cancer screening technology so that we can detect problems early on. Five minutes could save your health. It could save your life.
Symptoms include:
Oral cancer typically affects:
Although these areas are visible to the doctor during examinations, we need a more thorough look to be able to detect the beginnings of abnormalities.
Oral cancer is typically treated first with surgery and also with the help of oncologists. Each case varies. If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, please call our office to schedule a screening and consultation.
We hope to catch things before they become a real problem, and we need your help! Be sure to come in for every 6-month checkup for preventive care. Especially in the case of oral cancer, prevention is your best option.
One of the essential diagnostic tools in modern dentistry is the panoramic x-ray.
Panoramic x-rays are two-dimensional images that provide a very broad view of the teeth, jaws, sinuses, jaw joints and nasal areas. They are not designed to find cavities like other x-rays. Rather, they reveal problems such as impacted teeth, bone abnormalities and fractures, infections, and cysts or tumors. Because of this, they are a staple technology in any oral or maxillofacial practice. Panoramic x-rays provide an accurate and trusted diagnosis so that the most viable treatment plans can be executed.
What are the benefits of panoramic x-rays?
When might you have a panoramic x-ray taken?
Panoramic x-rays are commonly used during routine check-ups to monitor oral health. They may also be used before surgical procedures or orthodontic treatments. For patients with jaw pain or TMD, panoramic x-rays are used to evaluate the joint’s condition.
Informed patients are the cornerstone of excellent oral health. You need to be in the loop when it comes to your dental care. Our commitment extends beyond treatments— we prioritize patient education to empower you with the knowledge and understanding needed for a healthy, beautiful smile.
There are a variety of computer programs available to help patients better understand conditions, procedures and treatment options. Our office invests in patient education software because we want you to feel confident in every dental decision you make. This investment helps us clearly communicate—and it helps you learn more.
Apart from education software, our dental team ensures clear, easy-to-understand explanations, using visuals and simple language to help you grasp dental concepts easily. This will encourage open dialogue during appointments, inviting questions and discussions to address any concerns you may have about your oral health. Should you need, we also provide informative materials, such as brochures, videos, and online resources, to further support your dental knowledge outside of our explanations.
Your education will include best oral hygiene practices — proper brushing and flossing techniques as well as the importance of routine dental check-ups and cleanings. We will help you understand the condition of your oral heath as well as the pros and cons of any recommended treatment, providing you with the information you need to actively participate in choosing the best approach for your needs. You may also be given tips and guidance on maintaining good oral health, dietary habits, and habits that promote a healthy smile.
We’re dedicated to arming you with the knowledge you need to achieve and maintain optimal oral health. We consider patient education an essential part of our commitment to your well-being.
Our office is equipped with ultrasonic tooth cleaning technology to accompany scaling and root planing. This equipment is simply a scaler with a special tip that vibrates at a high rate and flushes out bacteria below the gum with water. As the tip glides over the tooth surface it is much more effective at removing hard buildup and calcium deposits than hand scaling alone. It will smooth out bumps and divots in the surface to prevent buildup. Surface stains can also be lifted during the process leaving your teeth whiter than before.
The benefits of ultrasonic scalers include:
Your comfort and oral health are a priority to us, and our ultrasonic scaler allows us to provide efficient and comfortable dental cleanings.
Our in-house membership gives you preventive care, exclusive savings, and VIP benefits — all for one simple monthly investment.
