I went to hamilton mill dental associates for years with Dr Mary then she sold the practice to Dr…read moreKim and Dr Patel. All of a sudden every time I went to the dentist I had cavities, need crowns etc. My most recent trip they told me I had a cavity back on my molar that needs to be filled. I said to Dr Patel, that I just had that filled by Dr Kim on my prior visit. She insisted that it was different, but I remember it because I endured the pain to get it filled. Upon my return trip for the filling, Dr Patel stated it was 2 cavities needed to be filled?!! I was like all of a sudden it is 2 cavities when my estimate stated only 1. Dr Patel started drilling away and about 30 mins in she stopped drilling and said to me, I am doing my best but the cavity is in between my back molar and the adjacent tooth. She also stated it could possible need a root canal if the filling doesn't work. I said I came to fill 1 cavity that turned into 2 cavities and now you are saying possible a root canal ?? Then I rolled my tongue across the area and was SHOCKED to feel my molar bored out so much that was there any tooth left?? I asked her why she bored out, what felt like my whole tooth, so much of my tooth and she stated because of the cavity touching 2 teeth. Right then I knew this was the exact area where Dr. Kim tried to fill. I told her that Dr Kim must have done it wrong, because she is telling me the cavity was underneath the filling. Common sense tells you the cavity wasn't done right the first time. So she continued drilling and about 1 1/2 hours later I left with swollen lip,do to the assistant stretching my mouth so far, and a prognosis of a possible root canal if this filling doesn't work. A couple of months later I went to a different dentist, for my 2nd cleaning for the year,and he tells me that my tooth needs a root canal. Now facing a $3000.00 root canal when this new dentist looked at the tooth she told me she could not do a root canal because my tooth was FRACTURED and needed to be pulled!!! She stated the previous dentist took out so much of the tooth that it fractured and could not be saved. So they pulled my right molar. Now this is my steak chewing tooth and now I need a $5000.00 implant!!!!! If you value your teeth do NOT go to Hamilton Mill Dental Associates because they will nickel and dime you to death and possible fracture your teeth!!! I had a crown come out from them and they couldn't see me for three days to fix it and then told me you should never go this long to get a replacement....I said that y'all would not work me in. Again Crowns should NOT come off unless they were done incorrectly the first time!! Again another$1500.00!! BEWARE of this office!!!! Stay away!!! Or you will be returning every time you have a cleaning!!!!! Please take my advice!!!! Dr. Patel is too inexperienced to be drilling anything in your mouth and the associates push down so hard with suction that your inside of your mouth will get cut, bruised or torn. Every Dentist I have been to ALWAYS puts Vaseline on your lips to prevent the trauma!!! If you love your teeth and want to keep them DO NOT VISIT HAMILTON MILL DENTAL ASSOCIATES !!!!

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 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.

I visited Dr. Uyen Maschek. So fortunate to come across this professional, experienced, caring Dentist. I had to have a molar pulled and honestly can't believe how fast and easy the entire process went. I felt as if she actually cared that she was in a position to help me. Th most discomfort I felt was my nervousness before I walked through the front door. I knew she performed with great precision when afterwards, back at home, the recovery started with zero discomfort. The staff throughout this office is top tier. They genuinely care about each of their patients and literally make you feel confident it's going to be a good process from the second you sit down. I would recommend this office to absolutely everyone. I have never felt in better hands for any needed procedure in any medical field. This place is 10 out of 10, Rockstars!

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.

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.
