My husband had the need for major dental restoration. His front teeth were kicked in by a bull many years ago and replaced with a poorly done bridge, his molars were broken off, his lower front teeth were very jammed together. He never smiled showing his teeth ever because of embarrassment. We researched implant dentistry experts even willing to travel to find the best. Upon meeting Dr. Dunson we knew he was the one. He's clearly dedicated to being the top in this field and gave my husband a new lease on life. No more pain when eating, no more hiding his teeth. He smiles big and wide now and we are so grateful for the work of Dr. Dunson. It was not cheap I will say but if you are going to get work done, you get what you pay for and I'd rather have Mercedes Benz level work done over a Ford Fiesta. Highly recommend Dr. Dunson. read more

I started with this office 2 months ago and I really enjoyed my visit and the staff was exceptional. I don't like going to the dentist but I will continue with Dr. Dunson and his staff, they made the process go so smoothly. Kudos to them all for being great at their jobs! If you're in the business of trying to find a good dentist then STOP right here and call Dunson Dental in Midtown, Atlanta read more

There is a great deal I can say about the office... (but) I'll start with my latest visits. On Wed evening before July 4th, I fell on my face and damaged 4 teeth and lost one completely with bone damage along with facial lacerations. I, actually, called and left a message with the office from the ER. The next morning I was able to come in and get stabilized so I could heal. This was his surgery day and Dr. Dunson was swamped but he fit me in between cases. I was a bit traumatized and he understood. He and his staff took great care of me. I was close to tears from the trauma and pain. I felt cared for and it was sincere. So know, you will always be in great hands when you walk into Dunson Dental Design. I've been going here for 15+ years and only trust him to do big jobs. He is a perfectionist and it will show when you smile. I received many compliment on my smile before the fall. I have no worries because I know when all is said and done... I will have a gorgeous smile (again) and I laugh and smile a lot!! Special shout out to Nateemah, she basically held my hand through that first day after the fall. If you are looking for ANYTHING from general to cosmetic to implants, look no further than DUNSON DENTAL DESIGN. You won't regret your decision. (I've been a handful in my opinion, too. Wonky short-term memory!) read more

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Dr. Dunson and his staff. The entire staff was kind and very gentle while I had 7 old amalgam fillings removed and replaced. I'd had an allergic reaction to an amalgam removal many years ago and they took every precaution and protection to make sure I was safe. I'm happy to report 5 weeks later zero symptoms - I'm healthy as a horse and all of my new fillings feel great! As a person who has had some issues at the dentist before, it takes outstanding care for me to write a review. I most definitely received this kind of care. Dr. Dunson even called to check on me after my first visit to see how I was feeling. Above and beyond service in my opinion. In terms of cost, I had zero issues with my insurance and the price was very reasonable, much less than I paid for my last amalgam removal. All costs were explained to me ahead of time - no surprises. Highly recommend Dr. Dunson and his team! :) read more

He is a training center for recent graduates who do all the work on you. what a joke to pay 20,000 for implants done by a student not Dr. Dunson. After 5 years the screws broke and the teeth came out. what a waste of money. now I have to get dentures! read more

Highly impressed with Dr. Dunson and his staff! Upon arrival, we took a tour, quick x-ray, then had a conversation about treatment. I like how Dr. Dunson teaches/contributes to the industry; he broke everything down and the experience exceeded expectations. read more

Scammers! Went to Dr. Dunson about 4 years ago for routine checkup. He said he needed to take out my silver filling and replace it with composite. (They use composite bc it costs more) Getting 3 root canal this month bc of it. I had HORRIBLE sensitivity and pain afterwards and went back in for checkup. He was surprised at how much pain I was in and told me it just needed to heal. No apology, pain medication, nothing. Well here I am FOUR years later with the same pain and now having to get a root canal on the teeth he filled. The experience and pain were so terrible, this year was my 1st time back to a dentist, bc now the pain is unbearable. Current dentist tells me I need 3 root canals and had a chipped composite. Never again! read more

I always valued Dr. Dunson's professional approach. His work is also excellent. However, my recent visit was not a good one. Chanda, one of the office managers, assistants, (or something like that), was very unprofessional. Her demeanor made me feel as though I was bothering her the entire time I asked for clarification. She spoke to me in a very unprofessional and uncaring manner, which surprise me. I always thought Dr. Dunson hired very competent and caring staff, but I after dealing with Chanda, I am not so sure. The encounter was so disappointing that I cancelled my service. Also, the initial bill estimate was incorrect and within minutes, went from 3K to OVER 5K???!! Really? Dr. Dunson does excellent work but his office staff, Chanda, in particular, leave something to de desired. read more

I went in for a consultation today and my time with the doctor and my time in the general office was awesome. He and his office personnel were very pleasant and I hope to go back soon read more

I recently changed dentist to Dunson Dental Design a few weeks ago and I have been extremely happy that I made the change. Dr. Dunson is an exceptional individual with a beautiful, state-of-the-art office and his staff is top notch! His dental hygienist, Ms. Keonka Williams, was simply amazing. She was professional, thorough, extremely knowledgable and gave me the best teeth cleaning I have ever had! I am very happy to have made the switch to Dr. Dunson! read more

We received a referral to Dr. Dunson. My daughter at the time needed consult on an impacted tooth that Dr. Dunson immediately addressed with a few different approaches. After our consult, Dr. Dunson performed the procedure that best suited my daughter's needs. Incidentally, Dr. Dunson's work would be complimented by my daughter's primary care orthodontist. I am happy to report that the care that we received from Dr. Dunson was thoughtful, professional, thorough, and most importantly effective. He and his service are a credit to the profession. I would not hesitate in recommending Dr. Dunson's surgical skills to anyone in need of a surgeon as dedicated as Dr. Dunson is, and from my experience he delivered. Thank you for helping my daughter. We were steered in the right direction! read more

Unfortunately, I happen to agree with Dakota B. The dentist constantly complained about being black and not getting business. Pretty unprofessional and the staff was deceptive in their billing. I was told that my bill was covered and that it was required that I prepay what my portion was or what I thought my portion was but then they slammed me with a gigantic bill claiming my insurance didn't cover me oops. I told them in an extensive conversation that I have another option and wanted to be certain of my portion but nooooo, they seem unscrupulous because I have insurance and could have stayed in network explained all this to them in the beginning. I was told that their prices reflect the difference for folks with insurance and my out of pocket would be minimal. I accepted that and prepaid what was required. I then get an extra over $400 bill. I wouldn't trust them nor do I recommend them. If you have insurance stay in your own network we thought the guy was going to be okay. Additionally, I spoke to my dental insurance carrier, which by the way is a great insurer, they told me that Dunson needed to submit an explaination and a new bill at that time it had apparently not been done so I'm assuming his staff doesn't know what they're doing I tried to contact them via phone and via priority letter but they don't call you back so here's my review, of which I almost never write these but thought this was worth it because their biz practices stink. We tried to overlook his complaints about being black in America but I see where that got me. I've never been to a more unprofessional dental office. If you go there good luck. I wish I'd seen that other review in the beginning and I'm normally pretty good about reviews. DUNSON DENTAL SHAME ON YOU THUMBS DOWN ( they need better billing practices.) his staff told me they're sick of listening to his complaints about being black in America. Strange place. read more

Dr. Dunson and staff have always given above average care and service to me. I have been a patient for over two years and never have any complaints. Very professional and courteous people! In response to the other review about Dr. Dunson using "terms" like "you feel me" and "you know what I'm saying" because you are an African American woman... well, I'm a white male and he's African American and he uses that vocabulary all the time. Maybe he's just being himself....just a thought! :) read more

Dr. Dunson and his team are exceptional. My father and grandfather are dentists so you can imagine how important it is to find excellent dental care for my mother-in-law here in Atlanta. Dr. Dunson is well educated having completed additional (non-required) training programs and residencies following completion of dental school as well as boasts over 25 years of experience. My mother-in-law has been to see Dr. Dunson and his team 3 times now and she has been delighted with each visit. I am so glad to know that she is treated well and her oral health is being cared for. read more

The atmosphere and service was GREAT! Dr. Dunson and staff took their time explaining my dental health. So I now know WHY I need certain treatments instead of I just need treatment. Had I known sooner I could have made more sound decisions in the past! read more

Dental visits are by no means my favorite place to go, and Dr. Dunson and his staff made my experience at the dentist feel very positive. Dr. Dunson is a expert in implants. I was beyond satisfied, when he fixed my implant. I will be forever grateful for his service. read more

My spouse and I recently moved to Atlanta and were looking for a dental practice. We thought we'd found it. DDD facilities are top-notch and our initial reception was very professional and warm. However, our experience took a bad turn from that point on. This was to be a maintenance visit, i.e., X-rays, cleaning and exam. But the staff seemed focused on selling additional services not covered by insurance. We were given an oral exam for cancer (neither of us have risk factors for oral cancer) and a fluoride treatment. The hygienist never mentioned these services were not covered by insurance and never gave us an opportunity to refuse these additional and unneeded services. When we received the Explanation of Benefits statement from our insurance provider, it became clear we've been oversold. When I called DDD office, I was informed I needed to speak with someone else...manager, maybe. In any event, they were busy and would return my telephone call. Two weeks later, I'm still awaiting that call. Trustworthiness and integrity are required traits for our service providers. Although we didn't interact much with Dr. Dunson, his staff represent him and his practice. My spouse and I have moved on to another dentist. read more

Dr. Dunson 'guilted' me into giving his office a chance at my business to resolve a serious dental repair by stating, "that's the problem with black people we give other people a chance and they mess us up and then they come to me to fix the problem and I have to oversell myself". We agreed on a treatment plan and cost ($@8800). Day of service he prepared me for surgery (which was never part of the treatment plan)I asked what was going on, he informed me that he was going to remove my 6 implants and replace them in a different position at a cost 3X the amount agreed upon (@30K). I refused that plan originally and I refused it again on that day. He became angry, hostile and aggressive. He told me "we either do it my way or no way". I had made a down payment of $3100 with a plan to pay in 3 installments. Dr. Dunson has refused to return my payment (to my credit card company-Care Credit)and attempted to have delivered to me by Fed Ex a temporary partial he had planned to use in the process. I declined to sign for the package and requested a return to sender. His office continues to harass me calling me stating we need your card number for refund and your correct address. I'm beginning to fear what they might do. read more

Dunson Dental Design is probably the best Dental office in Atlanta. Dr. Dunson is very professional graduated from the University of Southern California which has #1 Dental school in the Country. The office is clean and soothing. All of his employees are very well trained. Someone told me while I was there that he is also a good implant dentist he foes everything but ortho. This is the dentist to have even if you already. You may want to switch to Dr. Dunson. read more

Dr. Dunson is exceptionally compassionate and human. He listens to his patients. He goes above and beyond his call of duty to make everything right, and could not be more knowledgeable and current in his field. Dunson is an exceptional communicator. I've had extensive work done by Dr. Dunson due to a very serious injury I had years back. I've had years of surgery and dealt with more oral surgeons, implant specialists, periodontists, etc. than any working class human can afford. Not all of my experiences with maxillofacial specialists have been positive; some quite damaging and neglectful in fact. In the last 18 years I've spent over two years of my life's wages on oral procedures and have come to know this industry quite intimately. I drive almost four hours to be treated by Dr. Dunson. It is easy for practitioners in this field to make issues worse than they already are. Save yourself the pain and suffering and go to Dr. Dunson first. No matter your background or situation, he will give you the best medical treatment his field has to offer; and he will treat you with respect. I promise. read more

Dr. Dunson and his staff are extremely professional. As a physician myself, my standards for healthcare providers are pretty high. As a patient since ~ 2006, I have always been pleased with the service. Not only does Dr. Dunson and his staff make the dental experience as comfortable and painless as possible, Dr. Dunson keeps up with all of the latest technologies. This is why I continue to refer friends and colleagues to this dental practice. His office is breathtaking and his staff is as professional as they come. Dr. Dunson remains my dentist of choice. -Dr. CH read more
