What Separates Us From The Rest
At Pinewood Dentistry and Implants, we are dedicated, proud, and passionate about providing the best dental care to all of the areas surrounding our Cumming, Georgia office as well as our Sandy Springs, Georgia location. Dr. Lincoln Fantaski, Dr. Gary T. Bishop, and Dr. Katie Fadler have decades of combined experience to help patients without judgment and with the utmost regard for their health and wellbeing. We pride ourselves in offering 'high tech treatment with old school values' and changing the perception people have about what is possible at the dentist! We offer same-day crowns with CEREC, root canal and endodontic therapy, sedation, Invisalign, veneers, implants, 'All-On-Four' or 'Hybrids' and of course - cleanings for the whole family.
Most dentists treat single teeth and single teeth problems. One of the things that differentiates Pinewood Dentistry and Implants, or PDI to us, is that we are not afraid to look at the whole system, or to see the forest not just the trees! We treat TMJ, occlusion, complex bite problems, smile reconstruction, and more! We pride ourselves on transparency, and use our technology to show you not only inside one tooth - but the entire system and how it all works together.
We welcome you to come and experience the PDI experience: a warm environment focusing on customer service striving for clinical excellence from the whole system to even the smallest detail.
Meet The Doctor
Dr. Lincoln Fantaski
Dr. Lincoln R. Fantaski DMD considers himself a tooth nerd through and through. Although he got his start building and fixing computers, cars, and almost anything mechanical --he ultimately wanted to figure out how everything functioned and how to make things better. Dr. Fantaski attended Georgia Tech for his undergrad education, and the Dental College of Georgia for Dental School, where he graduated in the top of his class.
While in school, dentistry came full circle for Dr. Fantaski when he became fascinated with digital dentistry and truly found his passion in the field. Each day, Dr. Fantaski strives to better master digital technologies in dentistry – from new procedures, techniques, and optimizing workflows, to improving the patient experience. With a keen focus on dental implants, he leverages 3D technology in his practice.
Through research, education, and just some ‘figuring it out’ type fortitude, Dr. Fantaski shares his passion and knowledge with patients as well as other clinicians, including of his workflows, methods, and procedures. With a enthusiasm for photography, Dr. Fantaski shares clinical as well as before/after pictures with his patients to not just satisfy curiosity,but to make sure they stay in the loop of their dental health. He is dedicated to them – the patients that want to know what we are doing, what it looks like,why, and what it ‘could be’! You will also find his photographs from around the world hanging in the office!
Dr. Fantaski is continually involved in the American Dental Association, the Georgia Dental Association, the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, and the Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. He is a 'key opinion leader' for CAD/CAM dentistry, often lecturing to other clinicians, and sometimes gets to be a trailblazer with new materials. He is also a CEREC mentor and trainer – helping to make same-day crown and digital scanning technology more commonplace, and push the limits on what is possible for ‘same day smiles’.
In his spare time, Dr. F likes to read, collect vinyl records, travel, snowboard, and working on cars.
