Dr. Susan Goode Estep, DDS

Dr. Estep presents a distinguished and celebrated list of scholastic achievements in her field, beginning with the very prestigious honor of Fellow to the Academy of Comprehensive Esthetics (ACE). The Academy (made up of the most renowned cosmetic dentists in the world) created an extensive, rigorous process to evaluate professionals who are committed to advanced learning, attention to detail, and clinical excellence. With only three Fellows in the State of Georgia, Dr. Estep and Dr. Boulden of Atlanta Dental Spa make up two of these prominent academic positions.
Even more recently, in 2011 Dr. Estep achieved her fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry, an award that requires 500 hours of approved continuing education along with passing a rigorous exam encompassing all areas of dentistry.
In 2010, Dr. Estep helped found the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health (AAOSH) — an Academy dedicated to the mouth-body relationship whose members strive to provide the absolute …highest quality of care as it pertains to total wellness. Dr. Estep sat on AAOSH’s founding Board of Directors and chaired a committee that put on AAOSH’s inaugural scientific session.
Just this fall, Dr. Estep joined a group of prestigious physicians and dentists to become certified in the Bale/Doneen method: a method that takes into consideration paradigm shifts in cardiovascular prevention. Using this method, Dr. Estep can draw an accurate customzed picture of a person’s risk for cardiocascular disease and heat attack/stroke. Once this picture is drawn, Dr. Estep can aid in reducing and removing these risks. There is recent evidence to support the belief that doctors and dentists who join together to practice the Bale/Doneen can eliminate the risk of heart attack/stroke in their patients.
