James H Hudson Jr, DMD

Originally established in 1989 by Dr. James H. Hudson R., Rome Smiles has been a part of the dental community in Rome, Georgia for over 30 years! Our practice operates on the principle that everyone we see is treated like family. From how we speak to you and how long you wait on us to what options are available to meet your needs, we treat you as we would want to be treated.

The key to an attractive smile is regular cleanings and checkups. Our hygienists are well known for being gentle, thorough, and extremely personable. If you have been regular at having your dental checkups, that's great. If cleaning your teeth is more difficult for you, that's okay too! Our team is well trained in deep root cleanings and managing periodontitis (gum disease).

Dental implants are considered the best and most natural way to replace missing teeth. An implant takes the place of the root of the tooth, and a crown is made to replace the portion above the gums. If you are a candidate, dental implants are the most natural way to replace missing teeth. As the name implies, a dental bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring to the teeth on either side of the space.

Whether your problem is routine or more difficult, we will do what we can to make sure you are out of pain quickly! Dr. Scharnhorst is a general dentist, so he has great experience in performing root canals, extractions, and many other specialty procedures so that we can treat your problem quickly and efficiently.

Caries is the scientific word for cavity. You can see in the image above how a cavity can start as a small problem and grow to a dangerous dental infection. Most of the time you will never know you have a cavity at its earliest stages. By the time you have sensitivity or a toothache the problem has become severe.
