When it comes to education, some dentists stop with Dental School. But not Dr. Amason. Dental School teaches dentists to fix broken teeth. He wanted to learn how to restore a person to complete dental health. So he looked for the most prestigious center for continuing dental education in the world. In 1987 he made his way to Key Biscayne, Florida to attend the L.D. Pankey Institute.

At the Pankey Institute, the emphasis is on the patient, not just on the tooth. Here Dr. Amason became a master in the treatment of TMJ (jaw joints) muscles, bones, and teeth that people use when they chew, talk and smile. Most importantly, he learned that beneath all those physical mechanics, there is a real person with real fears and real needs.

He brought this philosophy to Kennesaw, Georgia, where he’s been putting it to practice since 1986. But learning doesn’t stop here. Dr. Amason averages a hundred hours of continuing education every year, far more than required by the State of Georgia, just to make sure he and his staff knows the latest answers and stay on top of the newest solutions for your dental needs.
