RESTORATIVE & PROSTHODONTIC DENTISTRY
Rebuilding smiles with 30 years of expertise.
Ireland Restorative Dentistry is one of the most experienced prosthodontic practices in North Georgia. Dr. Michelle Ireland has spent over three decades mastering the most complex and comprehensive restorative procedures in dentistry — from single-tooth crowns to complete full-arch reconstructions. Every case is approached with precision, artistry, and a deep commitment to long-term results.
WHAT IS PROSTHODONTICS?
The specialist your dentist refers to.
Prosthodontics is the dental specialty focused on the restoration and replacement of teeth. Where general dentists treat individual problems as they arise, a prosthodontist takes a whole-mouth approach — considering how every tooth, the bite, the jaw joints, and the gum tissue all work together as a system.
Dr. Michelle Ireland completed her Certificate in Advanced Prosthodontics from the University of Alabama School of Dentistry and spent nearly a decade teaching the specialty as a faculty member. She brings that depth of training to every patient she sees in Ball Ground.

WHY CHOOSE A PROSTHODONTIST
Not all dental care is created equal.
General dentists are trained to handle a broad range of everyday dental needs — and they do it well. But when a case involves the full complexity of the bite, multiple missing or failing teeth, implant restorations, or a complete smile rebuild, that is when the specialized training of a prosthodontist makes a measurable difference.
Dr. Ireland does not just restore teeth. She restores the entire system — making sure every restoration fits the bite correctly, functions comfortably, and looks completely natural for years to come.
