Not every dental office fits every household, and pretending otherwise wastes your time. So here is a straight answer to the question Centerville families actually ask: is Heritage Family Dentistry the right practice for us? Read the next two sections and you will know.
You Are a Strong Fit If This Sounds Familiar
You want one dentist for everyone under your roof. Households along Centerville-Rosebud Road often span three generations, and this practice treats kindergartners, parents, and grandparents in the same appointment block. You value continuity. The same family has run this office since 1982, and Dr. Erin Pickwick grew up inside it, helping in her mother Dr. Kathy Huber's practice long before earning her own DMD.
You carry PPO insurance, or none at all. We accept all PPO plans, hold in-network status with Aetna, Cigna, and United Concordia, and run a membership plan for the uninsured. You dislike corporate medicine. This office is privately owned, and treatment recommendations come without quotas or upselling.
One more marker of a strong fit: you have put off care and feel awkward about it. Unincorporated communities like Centerville sit outside the dental marketing blitz that saturates Snellville and Lawrenceville, and plenty of households here simply fell out of the habit. Dr. Pickwick built her office to welcome exactly that patient, without a lecture attached.
Meet the Family Behind the Practice
Heritage Family Dentistry earns the first word of its name honestly. Dr. Kathy Huber founded the office in 1982 and treated Gwinnett families for four decades before retiring. Her daughter, Dr. Erin Pickwick, grew up helping in that office, earned her DMD from the Medical College of Georgia, and returned to take over the practice where she started. Outside the operatory, Dr. Pickwick gives her time through Georgia Missions of Mercy, a volunteer effort that delivers free dental care to Georgians who cannot afford it. A practice handed from mother to daughter treats patients like they will still be here in 20 years, because it plans to be.
When We Will Point You Somewhere Else
Honesty cuts both ways. If your child needs bracket-and-wire braces, an orthodontist serves you better, since our alignment work centers on Invisalign clear aligners. Complex jaw surgery and hospital-based procedures go to oral surgeons we refer to directly. HMO and DMO plan holders should confirm out-of-network costs before booking, because we work with PPO coverage. And patients who prefer a different hygienist at a discount chain each visit will find our relationship-first model a poor match.
The Services Behind a Family Practice
For the families who do fit, the service menu runs deep: preventive cleanings and exams, gum disease therapy, sealants and fluoride for kids, tooth-colored fillings, crowns and bridges, dental implants for missing teeth, professional whitening, veneers, Invisalign, and same-day emergency visits for toothaches. Dr. Pickwick has practiced in Gwinnett for 16+ years, formerly served as president of the Georgia Academy of General Dentistry, and volunteers with Georgia Missions of Mercy. The office won Best of Gwinnett in 2024 and 2025.
Depth matters most at the older end of the family. Grandparents along the 124 corridor often arrive with decades-old crowns, worn dentures, or a tooth that finally gave out, and implant dentistry under one roof means the consultation, planning, and restoration happen with the dentist who already knows their history. Younger patients get the opposite emphasis: sealants, fluoride, and habits that keep their adult records boring.
Getting to Us from Centerville
From the Centerville Highway (124) area, head north via Rosebud Road toward Grayson, then pick up Grayson Highway toward Lawrenceville. The office sits at 2023 Grayson Hwy, Suite 203, a route that skips the Snellville retail corridor entirely. Households closer to the Snellville line can run Grayson Parkway instead and arrive from the opposite direction. If the first two sections sounded like your family, call (678) 336-1983 and claim a spot on the schedule.
During and After Your Appointment
First visits center on a comprehensive exam with digital X-rays and an oral cancer screening, followed by a sit-down conversation about findings and costs. Routine visits run on schedule and end with your next appointment booked. After restorative work, expect a few hours of numbness, written aftercare instructions, and a direct line for questions. Anxious patients can request sedation, and the team explains each step before performing it.
Pricing follows the same pattern as the clinical care. Insured patients get an estimate of their portion before booking treatment. Uninsured patients start with the $159 comprehensive exam and X-rays, then choose the membership plan or financing for anything beyond routine care. You hear the number first, then decide.

Centerville Questions, Answered
Is there a quality dentist that skips the Scenic Highway traffic crawl through Snellville?
A: Yes. From Centerville, you reach our Grayson Highway office by heading north toward Grayson rather than west into the Highway 124 retail congestion. You trade strip-mall stoplights for a quieter road.
Can my mother, my kids, and I all be patients at the same office?
A: That arrangement describes most of our patient families. We treat children and adults of every age, and our scheduling team will stack family appointments back to back, so multigenerational households along Centerville-Rosebud Road make one trip instead of three.
Some homes off Centerville-Rosebud Road still run on well water. Does that change anything for my kids' teeth?
A: It can. Well water usually carries no added fluoride, the mineral that hardens developing enamel, so kids on well water sometimes need topical fluoride treatments or sealants to close the gap. Mention your water source at the exam and Dr. Pickwick will factor it into the prevention plan.
Do you handle dentures and implant consultations for seniors, or does everything get referred out?
A: Implant consultations, planning, and restorations happen in-house, along with crowns, bridges, and the rest of restorative care. Only hospital-level surgical cases go out to oral surgeons we refer to directly. Seniors along the 124 corridor keep one dental home instead of bouncing between offices.
What do I do about a toothache on a weekend, since the office closes Saturday and Sunday?
A: Call (678) 336-1983 and follow the instructions on the line. When the office reopens, same-day emergency appointments handle active pain first, so Monday morning callers with weekend toothaches move to the front of the schedule.
