From the moment you walk in the door, Beth will greet you with a huge smile and total kindness. You are treated like family and the services you receive will be top notch. My family moved an hour away to Athens, Ga 4 years ago, but we will gladly make the drive back to VIP. They are far and away the best Dental group I have ever had the joy to call my dental practice and keep in mind, my first career path was working in dentistry so I have a real idea of the inner workings and what makes an office run well. Doctors Pat and Wenona Van Derhei and their entire staff are great folks working hard to accomplish all of your dental needs and they are all truly the best of the best. You will feel blessed to call them your dentist office. VIP.... Very Important People!!

Her friendly smile and efficient manner always sets a positive tone for the visit. Laura is an absolute gem--so personable and warm when checking us out at the end of our appointments. She makes the whole process feel seamless and always sends us off with a smile. Jill, the office manager, is truly the glue that holds everything together. You can tell she's amazing at keeping the practice running smoothly--everything is so well-organized, and the staff clearly works together like a well-oiled machine. Chandler, our dental hygienist, is simply wonderful. She's cheerful, thorough, and has such a deep knowledge of dental care. Her upbeat personality makes cleanings something to actually look forward to! And of course, Dr. Lentz--there truly aren't enough words. He has to be the best dentist in the world. He's skilled, caring, and takes the time to explain everything in a way that makes you feel confident and at ease. Lanier Valley Dentistry is the gold standard for dental care. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, welcoming, and top-notch dental experience!

They don't keep appointments. They sent a reminder text three hours before my appointment and say…read morethey require 48hrs notice for a reschedule. No problem. I plan to be on time. I arrived at 10:45 for my 11:00 appointment. At 11:10 I notified the receptionist that my time is valuable too. She went to the back to see what the hold up was as I was walking out the front door. She found me at my truck and said they were running late and that I had only made my appointment two days ago. I told her it was still an appointment that they had accepted and if they can't keep their appointments that I would just have to find another dentist. BYE!

I cannot say enough good things about Oral and Facial Surgery Associates of Atlanta and Dr. Patrick…read moreWalker. After a disastrous experience with my general dentist--who began Invisalign treatment before referring me for necessary extractions--I ended up facing painful and unavoidable complications. The delayed referral caused my extra teeth to shift, cutting through my gums and even fracturing the root of a neighboring tooth. Since May, I've had three extractions, a root canal, and an apicoectomy. It's been an incredibly difficult road, but the one thing that has made this bearable is the professionalism, expertise, and kindness of Dr. Walker and his team. From the front desk to the surgical support staff, everyone has treated me with compassion and thorough care. Dr. Walker took the time to explain everything, answer questions, and guide me through each step with clarity and patience. If you are facing the daunting prospect of oral or facial surgery, I would recommend this practice without hesitation. They are the only reason I've made it through this ordeal with my sanity--and a (somewhat restored) smile.

7/12/16 Must Read!!!…read more I had a bad experience about 20 years ago. My skin would crawl if you mentioned the word dentist until I met Dr. V and his team. I have 5 reasons why I love this place. 1. Janell was awesome, she called to remind me to take my sedation pill. 2. They were nice to me and the team of folks that I brought in for support. 3. Dr. V and I had great conversation and he made me feel comfortable. 4. His assistant gave me the SPA treatment. I got headphones and a snuggly blanket as I wore my cool shades. 5. Did I mention I went to the dentist only to realize that it's just as comfortable as going to the SPA??? Well, this is the treatment that you get in Buford. Then... due to their professional approach, patience, and how they treated my situation with care, I am not afraid anymore! Thank you, Dr. V and Team for the day at the dentist SPA.

After two discouraging and frustrating consultations with other dentists and oral surgeons, we talked to Dr Vancil. He was so kind and compassionate and thoroughly explained the issues ave the procedure he would perform. The procedure ended up being far more intense and difficult than originally anticipated because of the depth of the roots of my sons teeth so Dr Vancil was not able to extract any of the teeth but he instead had to cut out each individual tooth! He made my son feel as comfortable as possible and able to withstand the procedure. ! We are beyond thankful for his expertise and compassion and how he handled every aspect of this whole process! Dr Vancil is the best dentist and we highly recommend him whether you need routine dentistry or have major issues like my son did. His staff is also excellent and represent him so well. Thank you Dr. Vancil for sharing your God given expertise and your compassion.

As a mom of an autistic son, I cannot say enough wonderful things about this team…read more From the moment we walked through the doors, Ana at the front desk greeted us with kindness and immediately made us feel welcome. She got us checked in quickly and helped put us at ease. My son needed to be sedated through an IV for his dental procedure due to his sensory needs, and as any special needs parent knows, that can be incredibly overwhelming. Dr. Paris was absolutely amazing. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answered all of my questions, and never once made me feel judged. Because of my son's sensory challenges, brushing his teeth has always been a struggle. Unfortunately, he needed eight crowns and three extractions**. As a parent, it's easy to feel like you've somehow failed your child in moments like these, but not one person on this team made me feel ashamed or uncomfortable. Instead, they treated us with compassion, understanding, and genuine kindness. After the procedure, Cindy, the recovery nurse, was equally incredible. I'm a single mom and didn't have anyone with me that day. She was so patient, caring, and even helped me get my son safely to the car. That simple act of kindness meant more than she probably realizes.While no parent wants their child to have to go through a procedure like this, the level of compassion, professionalism, and exceptional care we received made all the difference. Every member of the team treated us with dignity and empathy, and I am beyond grateful for the experience they provided. Thank you, Ana, Dr. Paris, Cindy, and the entire team for taking such amazing care of my son--and of me. We will never forget your kindness.

They hand me a bill for $2500 and only because I have insurance do they then reduce the bill to $1500 because my insurance wouldn't allow them to bill me the $2500.

Well Rita, it's my responsibility to trust that you're not going to try and rip me off, but nope Rita, that wouldn't be the human thing to do.

My experiences with the office before this werent bad besides the occasional wait. Towards the end of when we were about to leave (they dont except kids older than 18) my mom payed too much on a co-pay that we owed. Like a couple hundred dollars more.We called several times to try and clear it up and they made excuses like "we are going to have to research it". After several weeks we ended up turning them in to the Better Business Bureau. It was only after that when we got a refund for the money. This place has good dentist assistants and a good dentists, but te people that run the front are not all that friendly as demonstrated by our incident. The financial aspect of a business has to be in order if you want to keep customers. There is nothing worse than a business taking money they did not earn. That is why I gave them one star.
