My husband and I have been going here for 6 years or so. The whole staff is very helpful. They are available in an emergency and have weekend hours too. Dr. Salazar is always honest and kind. He does not suggest unnecessary treatments and really thinks about the best long term care of my teeth. Today I had my teeth cleaning with Francia and she was excellent. She was careful with my sensitive areas and did a thorough job. Thank you to everyone at DentFirst! read more

I am new to Atlanta and I needed to find a dentist. This place has good reviews online so I gave them a chance. I think I have found my dentist. The place is clean and not busy. They saw me immediately and were very friendly. read more

Terrible customer service . Consistently cancels my appointments after being scheduled 6 months out.

I typically have a great experience here however this morning was just not good. I did arrive to my appointment late but I called to let the office know. They said they would see if the doctor would still see me when I got there. I get there come to find out their systems are down and they can't do any X-rays until it's restored. I was not notified about any of this until I reached the location. It would've been great to be notified about this ahead of time instead of wasting my time. I had already taken off work for this appointment. What a waste. read more

Front desk girl was extremely cold and unwelcoming. I couldn't even finish giving her my insurance info before I hung up due to dealing with her rude demeanor. read more

Completed 2 sessions of periodontal work. Follow-up evals in a few weeks. Dr. Baek & staff are excellent. Will continue my treatment under their care. So glad I have good insurance. read more

Poor quality orthodontics and people skills. The cleanings are typically rushed and sloppy, and the environment is unpleasant. Even the staff at the front desk come across like they hate their job. Unfortunately, it's not just the Buckhead location that is terrible. read more

I wish I could give zero stars. I went in for a 6 month cleaning, left with a "small" cavity, got a filling two weeks later which ended up being incredibly painful. Came back a week later, got the original filling removed and replaced with a temporary filling. Still had pain so I went to a specialist who saw that my tooth had been cracked leading to an expensive root canal and crown. I cannot tell you how sad and shocked I am. I place a lot of emphasis on reviews and I just wanted to share my experience. read more

I was treated horribly. Had a lot of tooth stain which I was expecting them to clean as they have always done for me over the last 5 years. They called me the day before my appointment and said if I could come in 2 hours earlier than my set time, I said I could come an hour early. Then when I arrived, the hygienist clearly was in a rush, I got the sense that her goal from the get go was not to clean my teeth that day. Then the doctor arrives and come up with all sorts of reasons not to clean my teeth. I came in to the office with stained teeth and came out with same stains. So much for "improving your smile" slogan. They need less number of patients so they can do their job. I can help you with that because I will never go back to them. I will let my family, my friends and my colleagues know about my experience as well. DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

Received very poor treatment. If they are busy and don't have time to clean your teeth, they will come up with all sorts of cockamamie reasons not to clean your teeth. Came in with stained teeth, came out an hour later with stained teeth. Do not recommend this practice, do not recommend the doctor. Seems like they are too busy read more

Donna is a very knowledgeable and efficient communicator as office manager at dentfirst Lenox. I would recommend this office to anyone!

It doesn't matter what time of day, month of year, rain or shine- nothing falters the kindness and professionalism at Dent1st. It's as if the hiring process only allows for the most genuine, caring individuals who are much more than good on paper. No one likes going to the dentist, but this one makes it a breeze. They have evening and weekend appointments so I don't even have to use my time off to go. They have TVs on the ceiling. (Genius.) I got my teeth cleaned AND caught up on the news. Boom. Maybe they're all on laughing gas... or they just generally enjoy what they do and take pride it. Jaimie is patient and thorough; Dr. Sarembode is professional and humble. The entire staff is top notch. I highly recommend Dentfirst. You'll leave with a [clean] smile and probably a better attitude! read more

Would not recommend. Very poor communication from this office. I will never return to this location! I booked an appointment in January for July. The office called 3 business days before my appointment to reschedule and would not see me after being 6 minutes late. People who service clients should really be more understanding especially when they are directly responsible for the chaos. DO NOT GO HERE read more

We are very disappointed with the service rendered by DentFirst Dental Care. We had our teeth cleaned six months ago there and had an appointment made for a follow-up cleaning on 10-29 ( Please see the attached appointment card ) for both. Today when we arrived at the office we were told the appointment was only for one person and the other had to go there on another day. The desk clerk's attitude was very bad and treated us as two cheaters trying to falsify our appointment time. She refused to recognize their mistake and insisted only one's tooth could be cleaned. She did not know who was the one who made the mistake and evidently refused to admit there was even a mistake and indicated nobody there was responsible. Then the manager was involved and her attitude was obnoxious at best. She repeated that there was only one's appointment on her computer and ignore the fact we have the appointment card specified one's appointment is at 9 and the other at 10 on October 29, 2021. She told us that her computer could not trace who was the person making the appointment for us and she did not know what happened when we booked our appointment six months ago. She was lying. I am familiar with the schedule program she was using and that program should have the person's name who did the booking on that page. At the end of the conversation, her attitude became very ugly. The staff and manager's attitudes, capacity, and professionalism reflect the qualities of the dentists and we decided to leave and find a better office to be served. I highly recommend anyone thinking about this dental service to read my review which lately will also appear on Better Business Bureau, Angie's list, and Google review. I do not wish you to be treated in that office as we are treated. Sheng Tchou, MD I have just received an answer from the manager who is evidently a liar. Response from the owner 26 minutes ago We always strive to offer the best care to every patient. As we attempted to explain to you today, someone canceled your appointment on your end. We would have gladly worked you in and taken care of you. However, we will not tolerate the type of behavior displayed in our office today. Further questions, comments or concerns that you have can be directed to dharlin@dentfirst.com. We never canceled our appointment. She must make up this excuse since during our conversation she never mentioned this and told us she did not know what happened and are not responsible. She should be fired. read more

DentFirst Dental Care - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I do not recommend going to Dr. Salazar unless it is absolutely the only dentist available, which I understand it may be. His bad judgment and oversight caused me a $400 procedure that was found to be a poor suggestion. If you are taking the time to read through comments about your health professionals, here is the one you're looking for to tell you that if you have another option, please choose it. I have never written a review for any service ever, but I want to help anyone avoid what I experienced. read more

I like Dr. Salazar here. He is good at explaining things and will take time with patients. He also knows his stuff.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Salazar! He is so kind and cares about his patients. He is an honest man who will not do unnecessary work on your teeth. I've had a lot of work done on my teeth over the past couple of months and I am so thankful I had Dr. Salazar as my dentist. He had me see Dr. Baek and he was just a nice and kind. I will be recommending everyone I know go see this awesome team! read more

I'm here for a follow up post surgery. I love this office and it's staff. I have never had a dentist show so much pride in his work and care for me as a patient as Dr. Salazar. My new smile is fabulous and would highly recommend him in the area of Prosthodontics. I have had other treatments but this is bar none the best quality work I've ever had read more

Situated in the heart of Buckhead in a small strip mall, the location of this office is excellent. However this is not a dental office I will ever come back to. My suspicion is they care more about their yelp rating than actually helping patients, thus making me question the validity of some of the reviews shown here (if you look, many are from first time posters). However, I won't dive into this as I have no way to prove, but only suspect. I've been here on about 6 occasions and the staff working at the front desk are very nice and efficient. I've never had to wait long. Every time, there would be a different doctor that would be seeing me and one time I'd come in expecting to see one doctor and would be swapped for another. This is mildly unpleasant as you don't actually get to build much trust on the person who is going to be working with you. So keep in mind that you'll be putting all your trust into DentFirst chain to screen them. I will say that the doctors i have seen have been able to get basic fillings done with no issues and did a great job, but I can't comment on how they'd be able to deal with more complicated issues. Here is where things really fell apart for me personally with DentFirst: multiple occasions of them lying to me, providing false information and acting carelessly with patients. This was in particularly in relation to Dental X-rays. If you refuse your dental X-ray, be prepared for a fight, a lengthy nerve-racking one with the dental hygienist first and then with the doctor for a second round. I thought I was a timeshare presentation there for a moment! They care largely about safeguarding themselves legally as a brand, helping you does not take much of a priority at all. I politely informed the hygienists that I don't want an Xray unless a doctor sees a dental problem that requires an X-ray. I also said every time that if they need me to, I can sign any required paperwork saying I decline it. However, they would start a lengthy and unpleasant convincing process with factually wrong (not just misleading, but factually incorrect) information such as, "getting an X-ray is like being in the sun for 10 min" or "all dental facilities are required by law to do the X-ray." Both are very absolutely false statements and this clearly tells me that they have no clue what they are talking about. Regardless of how one might feel about dental xrays, it is a personal decision that a patient can make based on factual information out there and it is poor service to decline a person to even be examined by a doctor without an xray. "Recommended" and "required" by the Dental Association are two different things, their staff needs to know that better. Also, newsflash for them when saying, "You won't be able to find a dentist who does not require that an xray must be done." Again, lies, most dentists who aren't part of a greedy chain follow recommendations of ADA but don't turn them into requirements. Anyways, last time, it got to the point where they started making up potential issues that they saw on an Xray 3 years ago to try and convince me into taking one. They actually refused to even do an exam without an X-ray and after going to a different dentist, it confirmed there is no issues. If there was a problem, why didn't DentFirst fix it 3 years ago when they did the X-ray...seems a little late to be reviewing my X-ray now given that i've been there 6 times since. To sum up the above, I couldn't be happier to NOT be a DentFirst patient anymore. I am not here to debate the subject of Xrays, but being told blatant lies and being declined a dental cleaning/exam without an Xray is unethical and unacceptable. Makes you wonder what else they would lie to a patient about... read more

This place was 5 star all the way. I am in town for 2 months from California. I end up having an ulcer right near my nerve and in a lot of pain. From the 1st phone call they were compassionate, patient and professional. The doctor made me feel comfortable immediately. He was also very honest. He said he could do the route canal but he would feel more comfortable with a specialist doing it. Not many doctors pass up the opportunity to put more money in their pockets. The facility was spotless and state of the art. I wish I could take them back to LA with me. Now tell me... who feels that way about a dentist? The entire staff was nothing short of professional and warm. read more

I recently visited DentFirst Lenox after seeing the same family dentist for the last 15 years, I am officially moving on from my old dentist! I lost a crown on Sunday (keep away from skittles as an adult people!) and they were able to fit me in right away! As a person who has had a lot of dental work, Dr. Sarembock was one of the best I've had! He was kind and gentle and I appreciated him taking the time to explain everything he was doing. Almost can't wait to see Dr. Sarembock and the team at DentFirst again! read more

I had a great experience here when I went in for a cleaning with Bonnie. She was very engaging with a great personality and conversation, but she always did her job with professionalism. It was a very pain-free and simple experience that you may not always expect when going to the dentist. Even when was entering and exiting the location, all the members of the staff were smiling with hellos and goodbyes. I will continue to came back to this location thanks to everyone's professionalism and skill but also thanks to the personality and warmth generated from the staff. read more

I saw Dr. Lauren Abes and she was an excellent dentist!! I'm not from Atlanta but I needed to see a dentist and I called about 5 or 6 places before asking a friend and they told me about Dentfirst. I called Dentfirst and didn't get put on hold, talked to someone right away and they not only had the best price ($40 less than most other places I called) but they were able to get me in the same day. Now I'm not one to skimp on medical procedures so I was somewhat skeptical because the price for an initial examination with X-rays was so much less than the other places I called, but I needed to get in so I decided to give them a try. It was by far one of the best dental experiences I've had. And their office was beautiful, clean, modern - it was great. The staff was wonderful, the dentist was wonderful, the procedure was quick and painless. Oh and I knew the upfront price for the examination and x-rays, but before I had anything else done I was promptly shown a summary of the total price of the visit, so had I not wanted to pay that amount or had I not been able to afford it I could have decided to just pay for the exam and x-rays. But I got what I needed done and I would highly recommend them! Oh and they have TVs mounted on the CEILING above the chairs - pretty awesome for a dentist office. read more

Dr. Salazar is a perfectionist, spent hours doing all he could to save my teeth, including one tooth which no other dentist wanted to attempt. I am so so grateful!!!! read more

This place was fantastic. Jamie (hygienist) was friendly, professional and did a wonderful job cleaning my teeth. I highly recommend visiting DentFirst at Lenox. read more

I like the fact that they run on time. Scheduled the appointment on the phone with a very polite lady who was able to get me in quickly.Any paperwork they need they can email to you before the visit, and they already had all the insurance information ready when I arrived. Julie the hygienist was great-very thorough but friendly, gentle, and careful. Dr Salazar seems to care a great deal about the patients too. The whole staff was super friendly and professional. Convenient location in the heart of Buckhead. Thanks- read more

Lauren Abes is also a great dentist! She was my first dentist there. She did an amazing bonding for me.

Went here on the recommendation of a few friends who had been to other branches. Took the first appointment available on a Friday. They open 8am. Staff was in and had actually mailed me my paperwork earlier so I didn't have to waste time going earlier to the location itself - made an impression. Adela at the reception was very nice and Carmen did the best job ever getting my teeth cleaned and x-rayed, caring, gentle, courteous and attentive at all times. Doc checked on me as well and was really polite and straightforward in discussing dental health issues with me. I will be going back for further treatment and am pleased with the service, location, ambience, et al. I don't have any other place in the area to compare it to so for now they are top of mind for me, I hope they don't mess up in anyway - took me a lot of courage to book this appointment in the first place! read more

What a refreshing trip to the dentist! First of all the space is so open and impeccable! Not the desist of my childhood! Everyone is friendly and young and vibrant! They keep great history of us and everything runs so smoothly. TV on the ceiling and warm water cleanings are so lovely. I was cleaned, polished, and flossed by the Hygienist and examined by Dr Abes all in 30 minutes! Greatest dental experience to date. Thank you Dentfirst! read more

Truly one of the best dental experiences I have ever had. I came to DentFirst Lenox this morning as an emergency walk-in and from the moment I came through the door I felt quite welcomed. I arrived at 8am when they opened and was out by 9:30am. My bridge fell out and needed to be cemented back in. The receptionist, Yelena and other office staff were very friendly and helpful. The dental assistant, Melanie, really put me at ease and made my experience exceptional. Dr. Sarembock was very pleasant, gentle, and accommodating. Not to mention, the office is very nice, spacious, and well-kept. The TVs at each station were also a nice touch. Overall, I had quite a refreshing and efficient experience. For emergency and walk-in needs, I highly recommend DentFirst Lenox. read more

UPDATE: I came to yelp to review this place - again! I forgot I had reviewed it before. Two 5star reviews. Just left this one on google.com Wonderful dentist experience - from a person who hates going to the dentist. It is kind of easy to overlook this place, since it is in a small shopping strip off Lenox Rd. and set back from the road. The inside really impressed me when I first visited at the recommendation of a few of my coworkers (office is around the block). It is clean, relaxing and visually appealing. The employees are AWESOME! Dr. Salazar is my dentist and I cannot say enough wonderful things about him. He is so personable, knowledgeable and kind - a great representation of his industry. Every tech I've ever had has always been wonderful too. The quality of the work is fabulous. My fiance uses this dentist as well and I would recommend 10/10 to anyone. read more

If you're looking for a great dentist and friendly service this is the place. I'm terrified of the dentist, I had 2 wisdom extractions, from the moment I walked in the door everyone made me feel comfortable and confident that I wouldn't feel any pain and I was in good hands. Dr. Freddie Wakefield is the BEST oral surgeon. Ask for him if you're looking to have an extraction. read more

I finally found the dentist I hope to have for many years to come! Skipping out on the dentist is a bad idea for sure but the staff at DentFirst are truly wonderful and and I am more than pleased with Dr. Salazar and the entire staff. Going to this office and having Dr.Salazar as my dentist has been the best experience ever. I highly recommend the DentFirst Lenox location for anyone looking for a great, efficient and caring dentist. read more

I was at the office last week, and the staff were friendly. All together, I had a great experience at Dent First with the nice atmosphere and would advise other people to come here too. read more

The outside of this place doesn't do it justice. DO NOT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER! I was so pleased with Dr. Armando Salazar, pleased enough to take to time to write a review! Three of my front teeth had decay and after he was done with me, I walked out feeling beautiful. Was a little skeptical of the shot...... FELT NOTHING! He's definitely one of those dentist who cares about his work :) GO THERE! They have TVs on the ceiling, and you get the remote control! read more

Great office! Everyone is extremely helpful and friendly. My hygienist Bonnie was excellent and on time. Highly recommend!

Office is great and we love the dentist, however the hygenist is horrible! I worry about the training provided because I have never been hurt so badly - just for a cleaning. I have great teeth and work hard to take care of them. Had no cavities, and she made sure my gums were scraped raw. I can barely drink cold drinks because everything is so sensitive - one week later - still on advil from pain. She ripped my mouth wider then it is supposed to go and leaned on it - now I have my first disgusting, painful, gross cracking sore right on the corner of my mouth - like a giant scab! I have never had this happen and am ashamed to go to work - much less out to dinner. The pain is awful and I am humiliated. This person should not be allowed to touch my mouth and now I am afraid to go back for another cleaning. Rae W. read more

DentFirst rate! Got a stellar prophy from Renee, and Dr. Sarembock is the best dentist in town! Chairside manner, friendliness, and professionalism are all top-notch! This is the dentist for you! read more

Cleaning was great and well done. the main reason i was there was for a doc exam of my teeth. he spent max 10 sec looking at my teeth...

Renee and Dr Sarembock are both amazing, great bedside manner!
