They never once made new feel bad but instead made me feel good about coming in. They explained the cleaning process and held my hand each step of way. I'm so grateful to have a caring dentist and staff. The staff is absolutely amazing. This cannot be stated enough. If it's been while since you have been to the dentist then I suggest giving them a call. You won't be disappointed!!

I am new to Athens and had my former dentist for over 20 years, but a review on Yelp helped me to find his practice. Sometimes "more" (more laser treatments, more new equipment, more hours added to the day) is unnecessary. I appreciate his years of experience and ability to do things right the first time. He also took some extra time to allow me to sit longer for the anesthesia to work best. Bottom line -- he is kind, patience, polite, skilled, and good with people. I am happy he is here in Athens, and I would recommend him highly to anyone!

Brushed flossed and even more to get rid of it, they said I still need it. Their dental plan they sell I purchased and STILL expensive. I gave up and found a better reviewed dentist my mother has used for years. Total they said no I have no signs of the disease and questioned why they said I have it! Athens Smiles then sends me another bill for what we already paid plus their plan renewal. Then submitted it against my credit which I'm disputing it. Will be reporting them to the BBB.

I switched from my previous dentist over 10 years ago because of a general lack of connection and personable-ness and have been thrilled with my decision. In addition, ​I knew Dr. ​Alex as a triathlete and felt his level of fitness and CARE for health and wellness was in line with my own and a notch above all others I had met. Also it makes all the difference that everyone in this office is efficient, conscious of your time and so upbeat and positive. My teeth chip easily and have many times, and each time Arlene and Glenn make room for me quickly and tackle the job with professionalism and perfection. At some point I expect to need porcelain veneers, as my mother has, and some bonding on my bottom front teeth. I feel in good hands no matter what my needs are. They have also recommended​ orthodontists in town who I trust and will be using. I'll review again then. - Nelson Wells, Athens, Georgia

Pleasant staff initially. Well decorated office. I had 2 visits with Dr. Alex in 2022 for a second…read moreopinion. Everything seemed fine, until they told me they wanted to replace every tooth in my mouth. Surprised because I had been going to more than 1 dentist every 6 months, for years. At almost 70 years old, I wasn't looking for a Hollywood smile nor could I afford it. I continued to see a soon to be retired dentist that had been practicing in Athens for 40 years. I found out a couple months ago; my dentist sold his practice. Anxious to get a crown placed on my now year-old dental implant, I called Dr. Alex's office on 06/10/2026 and was told the doctor would look at it in the morning, and they would call me back. No return call. I just called back today, 06/15/26, and spoke to Dr. Alex's wife. She explained he was either out of the office last Thursday or didn't have time, and he doesn't work on Friday. She stated he wasn't comfortable with placing my crown on my now signed off implant. Also said Dr. Brett Gray, {Oral Surgery associates}. Dr. Gray holds 3 medical degrees and has been my doctor for over 20 years. Board certified Oral Surgeon. Maxo facial degree, and a medical degree. Emory University trained. Dr. Alex's wife stated he isn't educated in crowns. I argued. " I had 2 follow up visits to evaluate my implant at my oral surgeon. Received the green light for completion. Evidently Dr. Alex's wife knows better. By the way I was told that Dr. Alex hadn't even looked at my situation and was told to go to my current dentist that sold his practice, and is in his 70's, to place the crown. Basically, refused to see me. Very disappointed.
