After searching and settling on a big chain dentist office I couldn't be happier with the quality of care I receive at Kennestone Dental Designs. From the text message reminders, minimal wait time in the office, to the friendly nature of the staff this place is hands down the best. Dr. Smith and his team all have great bedside manners and this extends to the ladies that work at the front desk. It's the difference between people being nice and welcoming because they get paid to work there and just genuinely nice people. Sadly they are no longer considered "in-network" by my insurance but any jump in price is worth the quality of this office.

This office is tops! From the time you walk in to the time you leave. Each staff member is so friendly and helpful and welcoming. Becky, who cleans my teeth, is amazing and right on time with her appointments. Dr. Smith is great. If you don't need something done, he doesn't just do it for the money. He really cares about his patients. If you are looking for a Dentist, this office is wonderful. You certainly wouldn't be disappointed by choosing Kenenstone Dental Designs. As a matter of fact, you would be glad you chose them.

As always, KDD provides excellent service to it's clients. When one goes to the dentist, painless is not often an associated term. My experience at KDD is about as close as you can get. Kudos to Becky and Dr. Smith. Office staff is outstanding as well!!!

Dr. Smith and Christy are giving me the best dental care in my lifetime. If they had been around in my earlier years I would not have all the caps and fillings I have now. However, they are keeping them in shape. Thank you!
