They also provide amenities for patient comfort, such as TVs in treatment rooms with a choice of movie channels and Wi-Fi throughout the office. Nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") is available for patients seeking a more relaxed dental experience. Beyond clinical excellence, Athens Oconee Dentistry is deeply committed to community involvement.
