Since 1986, Fender-Goggans has been an orthodontic staple in the great state of Georgia. Their office has a truly one-of-a-kind atmosphere that is defined by their genuine interest and care for each patient. Drs. Dana Fender and Greg Goggans are in the business of working with you to create beautiful smiles that change lives.
Dr. Dana Fender has been delivering outstanding orthodontic care since 1996. Dr. Fender received his Doctorate of Medical Dentistry from the Medical College of Georgia Dental School where he was Valedictorian and then completed his graduate orthodontic training at Vanderbilt University.
Dr. Greg Goggans began his orthodontic practice in 1986. He received his education at the Medical College of Georgia and received his Orthodontic training at the University of Tennessee, where he was recognized for his clinical research excellence. Dr. Goggans was elected to the Georgia State Senate from the 7th District in 2004 and served 4 consecutive terms. He was recognized as an Honorable Fellow by the American College of Dentists and was appointed to the Georgia Board of Dentistry in June 2014 by Governor Nathan Deal.
Fender-Goggans Orthodontics has earned the extraordinary distinction of achieving Elite Top 1% Invisalign provider worldwide. Invisalign recognized Drs. Fender and Goggans’ office based on their experience, knowledge and the number of cases successfully treated. The achievement is significant because less than 100 Invisalign providers worldwide have achieved this status and there are currently only 2 in the state of Georgia (the other in Metro Atlanta). Their expertise in treating greater difficulty level cases and their extensive experience working with the system to produce amazing smiles are what set them apart.
“Because of Invisalign’s rapid incline with technology, we no longer have to say ‘no’ to difficult cases,” says Dr. Dana Fender. “Everyone’s impression of Invisalign is that it does not work and it’s too expensive.” He explains, “What I want people to know is that, not only does it work, but the capabilities are unbelievable and it is very affordable. This technology allows more effective use of time during treatment.”
At Fender-Goggans Orthodontics, they are constantly on the lookout for new technology that can improve the care their patients receive. They recently acquired new iTero digital scanning equipment at all of their locations! This technology supports their efforts to provide orthodontic treatment in the fastest, most comfortable, and most satisfying manner possible. The iTero scanner captures all elements and materials found in the mouth without messy powder or gag-inducing impression material for an overall improved patient experience.
Dr Fender says, “Both Invisalign and traditional braces work extremely well in creating beautiful smiles. You will need to let the orthodontist evaluate your teeth and bite and decide which treatment option is best for you.” It is important to know that orthodontists have not only completed 4 years of dental school, they also have completed an additional 4800 hours of orthodontic training that is 100% focused on aligning teeth and jaws. If you want the most experienced orthodontic providers around, Fender-Goggans is the right place!
