Candler Park is the kind of neighborhood where people walk to dinner, play a round on the nine-hole golf course, and spend summer days at the pool. A smile you feel good about fits right into that easygoing life.
Higher Standards Dental Studio is a short trip east on Decatur Square, and Candler Park is one of the neighborhoods we serve near Decatur. Dr. Rickin Vibhakar offers cosmetic, preventive, and restorative care in a calm, judgment-free setting.
The neighborhood takes its name from Candler Park, a 55-acre park on land Coca-Cola magnate Asa Griggs Candler gave to the city in 1922. Much of the area is part of the Candler Park Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The park itself also includes a pool, tennis courts, and a playground.
Reaching us is easy by car or by train. Edgewood/Candler Park station sits on MARTA's Blue Line, and Decatur station on the same line opens right below Decatur's public square, a short walk from our office.
A great-looking smile starts with healthy gums and a stable bite. Before any cosmetic work, Dr. Vibhakar checks for decay, gum problems, and wear, so your new smile has a strong base.
He then talks through your goals and shows you images from intraoral cameras and digital scans. You can see your starting point clearly and decide which changes matter most to you. There is never pressure to do more than you want.
Digital scans help us plan aligners, veneers, and crowns in precise detail, and they are far more pleasant than putty.
3D CBCT imaging shows roots and bone, which helps when planning aligners or restorations.
Laser gum contouring can even out a gummy or uneven gumline, often with less discomfort than older methods.
Cosmetic goals are personal. We listen without judgment and never push treatment you do not want.
Regular care is the backbone of a lasting smile. According to Healthy People 2030 data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, only 45.5% of children, adolescents, and adults used the oral health care system in 2022. Our preventive dental care helps you stay on track with exams and cleanings.
When you are ready for a change, our cosmetic dentistry in Decatur includes whitening, bonding, veneers, and gum contouring. Clear aligner therapy can straighten teeth without metal braces, and our periodontal care helps protect the gums that support your smile.
Cosmetic and routine care are often paid for in different ways, and we can help you sort it out. Here are your main options.
We share costs before treatment, so you can plan ahead.
Dr. Rickin Vibhakar completed the Reingage Program with Dr. David Galler, which focuses on advanced clear aligner therapy. He is also a member of the American Academy of Clear Aligners.
He has practiced for more than 10 years, including time at 60th and Park in Manhattan. For Candler Park patients, he pairs cosmetic goals with careful attention to bite and gum health. His laser dentistry training also supports gentle gum contouring.
Whether you want straighter teeth, a brighter shade, or a simple cleaning, our team is glad to help. Every plan starts with an honest look at your teeth and a talk about your goals.
