She is able to explain the process and suggests techniques to use at home. She is a wealth of knowledge and friendly demeanor. Dr Allen recently did a crown for me. He explained the importance of the procedure and changed that experience from one I dreaded to one that made a process that was particularly painless and beneficial to my dental health for years to come.

I had some pretty hefty work done with Dr Rigney and here is my honest takeaway : Key difference with my three visits at Athens Advanced dental was, Dr Risinger was not there to give me bs or talk to me like a child. He was courteous , patient and stating the facts of what he believed was best for me with options. I felt like he wasn't trying to sell me on anything, just the facts and answered every one of my many questions. I also felt zero pain with major work done. He was the only dentist in 10 years that took his time to explain any and all concerns I had including insurance questions and didn't make me feel like I was just a sale. Great doctor and an amazing staff. 5 stars.
