We’re Here for the Patients Who Haven’t Had Answers

Most of our patients come to us after years of frustration. Many tried CPAP, night guards and pharmaceuticals as they were getting passed between specialists. But, when they got to us , they were still hurting, still tired and still stuck.

We help people who are suffering with:

Daytime fatigue and brain fog
Chronic headaches or facial tension
CPAP intolerance
Jaw pain, locking, or popping
Neck and upper back pain

If this sounds familiar, explore our patient education articles or request an evaluation. An examination can help clarify whether your concerns involve the jaw, sleep, or another condition that needs care.

We Take Time to Understand the Problem. Then We Treat with Purpose.

We develop a treatment plan that fits your symptoms, health history, and goals. Depending on your evaluation, care may focus on jaw function, facial pain, sleep concerns, or a combination of these. We monitor your response and adjust the plan as needed.

Explore TMJ & facial pain treatment, sleep therapy, and airway & breathing disorders.

Care may include:

Day and night oral appliances

Laser or ultrasound therapy
Nasal sprays and dilators
Nutritional support and supplements
Sleep strategies and lifestyle coaching
Collaboration with ENTs or other providers when needed

Dr. Lassiter is honestly the best dentist I have ever gone to. He ensures you know what is happening, is caring and upbeat. To top it all off his staff is fabulous and always has a smile for you.

Tara M.

I was having a hard time trying to find the right dentist after having one for so long that I didn’t really care for. By far the best experience I have ever had. Dr. Lassiter and his team are very caring and definitely know what they are doing. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

Candace P.

I've always had a wonderful experience in the office, the staff is always warm and inviting, not to mention extremely patient and understanding!! The doctor is AMAZING - a dr who actually listens to the needs and wants of his patient - WOW!!! Highly recommend- I can't express enough how fabulous everyone is!! (G.W.)

Lynette M.

Dr Lassiter and his team are the best dental practice I have used. First, they make you feel at ease and relaxed. Their facilities and equipment are excellent. Dr Lassiter is amazing. I have never felt as comfortable at a dental appointment. For more complicated procedures, the staff always follow up with you to assure you are doing well. If you are looking for a dentist in SE Ga, I recommend Dr. Lassiter!

Sherry K.

DR. Lassiter and his staff put me at ease from the moment I entered the office. And that was good because I've had a morbid fear of dentists from a young age. They took the time to answer all my questions fully, made my treatments as painless as possible, and brought back my smile. From my first deep cleaning, to my much-needed fillings, to the beautiful permanent crown they recently put in, my mouth feels better than it has in decades! I highly recommend Dr. Lassiter and each one of his highly trained and comforting staff.

Martha S.

I went to Dr. Lassiter office the last week of May for TMJ issues. After 10 weeks of treatment I am almost pain free. When I would go into the office for my appointment, I never felt rushed during my visit, the staff listened to all of my concerns. I would recommend going to Dr Lassiter office for your TMJ issues.
