Teeth are the enforcers of the body, biting tongues before they can blurt out movie endings and gnawing on fingers to prevent them from frightening children with shadow puppets. Reward your anatomy's toughest customers with today’s Groupon: for $49, you get a dental exam, x-rays, and diagnostic photos, plus an optional $1,500 in credit toward four or more veneers or crowns, at Atlanta Dental Center, located downtown on Northeast Peachtree Street (a $460 total value).

Atlanta Dental Center's squad of three masterly dentists and other trusted tooth technicians strives to outfit each patient with a healthier and more fetching oral landscape. During exams, the dedicated dental defenders scour patients’ mouths in search of signs of oral distress such as gum disease, infections, cancer, and over-eager tooth fairies trying to coax healthy molars from their comfy resting places (a $92 value). Unlike Superman's vision, the state-of-the-art technology behind the practice's digital x-rays is effective even in the presence of kryptonite juggling balls (a $143 value), augmenting a full set of diagnostic photographs to provide a comprehensive look at each mouth resident (a $225 value).

Patients who opt for cosmetic porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns will receive $1,500 in credit toward the cost of those procedures, helping eliminate gaps and crookedness and restore teeth to the pearly-white status they covet. To take advantage of the credit, patients must receive at least four veneers or crowns (most do six), which typically cost $1,500 per tooth. The cost of certain related products and services, such as home-bleaching supplies ($350 value) and the creation of a wax cast of the mouth ($650 value), will be waived for Groupon customers who opt for veneers or crowns.
