Skill and compassion go hand in hand when providing exceptional patient care. As dental professionals, we stay up to date on the latest advancements in dentistry in order to provide the most current treatment options to our patients. As doctors, we recognize that our patients are unique individuals who have placed a great deal of trust in us and our team. That is just one reason why we value each and every patient relationship.
I love every aspect of dentistry, from the functional beauty of a perfectly harmonious smile to smoothly contoured gums. I thrive on helping my patients eliminate pain and gain self-confidence with their smiles. I get the simple pleasure of being able to educate patients on the multitude of options that exist in dentistry. By learning about patients, and their own personal goals, whether they are physical, emotional, or financial goals, we can custom-design a plan to achieve their desired personal level of oral health.
Every day, I find it exciting to engage with patients on their own level. I appreciate how patients let me be a part of their lives. Dentistry to me is more than just fixing a tooth. That tooth is a part of a unique individual who has a family, friends, and a life outside of our office. I count it an absolute honor that our patients continue to not only trust us with their own care, but to give us countless referrals as well.
I grew up in the suburbs of St. Louis, but moved to Georgia in 1993. I currently reside in Hoschton. After completing dental school and my residency, I moved back to the northeast Atlanta area to be close to family. I have lived in the Mall of Georgia region since 2002 when I started my practice.
Ive been married to the love of my life, Allison, since 2001. We have two boys, Caleb and Daniel, who keep us plenty active when were not seeing patients. Aside from two boys that make plenty of noise in the house, we have two Labrador Retrievers and one white cat named Frosty. When Im not studying, reading, or learning about dentistry, I enjoy golf, playing sports with the boys, watching movies with my wife, UGA football, Krispy Kreme Donuts, and anything that involves traveling to put my toes in a sandy beach.
I have been in practice in Buford, directly across from the Mall of Georgia, since October 2002. We started small, and strive to stay as small as possible to maintain the level of customer service that each and every patient desires and deserves. In March 2017, we acquired the office of Drs. Jones and Potter, and have expanded our horizons into the Hamilton Mill area to love their patients as our own. I have surrounded myself with a team of people that shares my passion for people, attention to detail, and excellent oral health. We take a very simple approach to dentistry: treat people the way you want to be treated.
I graduated Hazelwood East High School in St. Louis, and began my college career at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. I transferred into the University of Georgia, where I graduated in 1996 with a degree in chemistry as a Presidential Scholar. I attended the Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry and graduated in 2001 as the first dental student to restore a dental implant, and was thus recognized by the International Congress of Oral Implantologists.
Following dental school, I ventured to the sunny beaches of St. Petersburg, where I completed my advanced education in general dentistry with the University of Florida in 2002. In 2014, I finished a mini-residency in dental sleep medicine with Tufts University School of Dentistry in Boston, and am currently working towards Diplomate status.
I complete twice the number of continuing education hours mandated by state boards, because it is absolutely critical to stay atop of the latest trends in dentistry. It is not necessarily essential to have the latest gadgets, but to be informed of the latest techniques, tests, or materials that will best benefit each individual patient is obligatory.
I am affiliated with the Spencer Study Club, Dawson Academy, Schuster Center for Professional Development, and the Foundation for Bioesthetic Dentistry, which is at the very center of our philosophy for dentistry: to ensure that every restoration, big or small, is ideally aesthetic and completely functional. I am currently licensed to practice dentistry in Georgia and Florida.
I have been mentored by some of the greatest clinical professionals in dentistry, and have a thorough understanding of how TMJ affects not only the jaw joint, but also the surrounding muscles, teeth, gums, and extending into the upper back. I am privileged to have an excellent relationship with many physicians, sleep physicians, chiropractors, and ENTs and am a referral source for often misdiagnosed earaches and migraines.
Im involved with the Hebron Dental Clinic, which serves missionaries and those in need in the Gwinnett County area, and I volunteer time at Cross Pointe Church at Mill Creek, where I am a puppeteer for the pre-K department. I love giving back to the community because the community has given so much to me, both personally and professionally. I have been blessed with skills and abilities to care for people and their dental needs, and to whom much is given, much is required.
I truly embrace the concept of making people smile from the inside out. It is my personal goal to be a part of both of those aspects of every person I have the privilege of encountering, whether its in or outside of our office.
Dr. Michelle Whyte is a graduate of the University of Georgia With a B.S. in Psychology. She graduated Medical College of Georgia in 2001. Dr. Whyte is a member of the Academy of General Dentistry and is currently seeking advanced education in sleep apnea. Dr. Whyte has been married for 18 years and has 2 boys. She spends her free time cheering on her kids at sporting events and cheering on the Dawgs.

I have been going to Dr. Vancil for at least 15 years and have never been disappointed! He is unlike any other Dentist or Dr. than I've ever been to in my life. He always takes time to talk you through every procedure, makes you feel very comfortable and loves to talk UGA football, who does that? Normally with other Dr's, it's all about the clock and how quick can they move on! Greatest Dentist ever!

Trent here. Whitney was my hygienist and did an excellent job. It was painless and my teeth has never looked better! She was so pleasant and made the whole experience delightful. I can always count on Dr. V and his staff to be positive, pleasant, and professional. #PFL (patient for life)

Dr.Vancil is absolutely incredible! He is patient, caring and kind. Whenever I am there he goes out of his way to help however he can. At my last appointment, I had started some new medication. He went home and researched it to let me know if it would have any negative effects on my dental health. Have you ever had a dentist who lets you know he is praying for you and your overall health? That's a sign of Dr.Vancil's character. Many of my friends have made the switch to Vancil. My only hesitation in recommending him is that you'll love him and now it will be harder for me to get an appointment. Give his office a chance. They truly are the best!

I love my dentist and the entire office. They are very professional, they offer advice and treatment options but are never pushy, they provide the options in a straight forward manner, never doom and gloom if you don't shell out big bucks for a treatment, that in reality may not work. They give you the real pros and cons of the treatment and sometimes if the best answers is just wait and see, they tell you that! So refreshing and honest.

I absolutely love Mall of Georgia Dentistry and can never say enough wonderful things about this location! As someone who deals with anxiety about going to the dentist, I have never felt more at ease. Abby was my hygienist at my latest appointment and even though it was our first time meeting she was so kind, caring and constantly made sure I was okay and comfortable! She made me feel like a friend and not just a patient! Everyone in the office was so kind and informative from the time I entered until the time I checked out. The office was so clean and I loved the Halloween decorations! I saw Dr. White and she was super friendly and down to Earth! She did not just pop in, do her part and leave which I feel like past dentist have done. Again, I can never say enough wonderful things about this office, but I absolutely love how welcoming and personable they are! They truly make you feel like a friend/family and not just a paycheck.

Our family has been with the practice for 4 years. We all love and appreciate the care that we receive from all of the staff; front desk, Hygienists, and Dentists. We wouldn't go anywhere else. 5 Stars! Leslie Roche
