I have been a dental hygienist for over two years now. What I love most about my job is meeting new people and helping them care for their smiles. I can empathize with fear of dental procedures, and thankfully Dr. McNay has encouraged and applauded my bravery and new found trust in my own ability to face fears and come out courageously on the other side. I love being a member of the team here at Restoration Dental.
I am a Registered Dental Hygienist and was born and raised in Rock Hill, South Carolina. I went to school in Columbia, SC and graduated from Midlands Technical College with a degree in Dental Hygiene. I have always had a passion for dentistry and love having a career centered around helping others obtain a healthy smile.
In my personal life, I love to hang out with my family and friends. On Saturdays, you can find me watching football and cheering on the Gamecocks! I love to travel and try new foods. I look forward to meeting and building a relationship with you!
I have been a dental hygienist for over two years now and most of that has been spent with this office. I went to school at Kennesaw State (go owls) and Georgia Highlands. My favorite thing about dental hygiene is the relationship I get to build with my patients I love meeting new people every day!
On the weekends, Im usually out walking on the beltline with my friends and exploring the city! My favorite thing is to find a new hole in the wall restaurant and try some new food. Im looking forward to making you love this office as much as I do!
I moved to Georgia in 2004 and became a dental assistant after seeing the Everrest commercial that said Get off the couch and do something! I assist the doctors occasionally but now am mainly working as an insurance specialist in the front office.
I really enjoy working out, traveling, eating, and learning and reading about any and all things food/cosmetics related. With the help of YouTube I am one day going to build my dream house using dental floss, charcoal clay, and mascara!
I have worked in the dental field for 20 years. What I love most about working in the dental field is that I get to make new friends every day, help people navigate tricky insurance issues, and lead people to enjoy their new smiles.
I am Dr. Dave McNay, and I have a beautiful family that loves life as I do. Along with loving life, I absolutely love being a dentist here in Brookhaven. I graduated with honors from King College in Bristol, Tennessee in 1995, and with honors from University of Tennessee Memphis dental school in 1999. This is merely a testament of my desire to learn, whether it is in a classroom, from a book, or by experiencing life.
Life has thrown its curves, and I plunge head-first into new hard waters. Ask me about my boy who surprised us with epilepsy at the tender age of 11 months. Find out how that affects family and friendships, or simply my interactions with each and every person I come in contact with. Ask me how hard to numb I am, and I will empathize with how difficult dental procedures can be. I long to know your story as well, and time will allow us to know these things about one another.
Our practice is full of great stories. Take the pictures off our wall to read a story about our family or just ask where many of our fixtures came from. We have many talented associates, patients and friends who have poured their talents into our practice. You are always welcome into our practice and I look forward to getting to know you!
Hi, I am Dr. Victoria Menendez, I love Atlanta and being in such an amazing city. I completed my undergraduate studies at Georgia Tech in Biology and went on to complete my Masters in Biology at Georgia State University. I love learning and constantly strive to obtain new skills. I studied dentistry at New York University and completed a one year general practice residency at New York Presbyterian Hospital. Upon completion of my studies, my fianc and I decided it was time to move back home to care for the community that I had grown to love and miss.
Outside of my passion for dentistry, I enjoy spending time with my family and exploring the growing Atlanta. From the delicious food, cultural events, and great outdoor activities it has been a treat being back in the city I happily call home. I love cheering on all of our amazing sports teams and becoming reacquainted with this wonderful city. You will find I have a passion for dentistry and taking care of people, it shows in my attention to details. I cannot wait to meet you!

Way overpriced for what you get. New patient..experiences or lack thereof Dental office does not offer fluoride treatment as part of its cleanings. I have never not had that offered as part of cleaning treatment. Prior dental offices I have had charged less, for better care given. Upon consulting Dentist, I was asked if I was interested in "getting rid of all of the spots of my teeth", and jokingly said "wow, this is definitely not your first time to a dentist is it?" as I had x-rays taken for my check up. Do you need to rub it in to patients who already have problems with their teeth; I assure you I am aware of that already. I scheduled appointment for crown fitting, show up to appointment, OOP cost higher than I what I was quoted at prior appt. I said no, I that isn't what you told me earlier. I rescheduled month out, so different insurance could take effect with better coverage new year thinking cost would be different In the middle of Pandemic, I woke up with fever and cough (covid-19 symptoms),, and responsibly cancelled my appointment for crown fit and told the desk why. I would reschedule out once I had test done to provide negative results. I called back to reschedule crown fitting a couple weeks later, office said they could not provide me with OOP costs from insurance until I showed up to my appointment morning of. I know how insurance auth works. I was told they could not quote me on my OOP no earlier than 12-24 hours in advance. I specifically asked the front desk, "how am I supposed to know you will accept my plan, and what I may be expected to pay if I'm an 8am on a Monday. (you're closed on Sundays). Her response; "I can't call day before, since they're closed. I just have to show up day of and find out. Front desk told me I would be charged full no show fee, since I no showed last time (due to COVID-19 symptoms and adhered to offices guidelines). So I need to physically be in building whether or not auth went through morning of, even though they cannot provide me with any sort of details on whats happening with insurance. (remember: cold and flu symptoms are not something anyone "plans" for 24 hours in advanced) So, they could not tell me if my new insurance would go through ahead of time, you couldnt tell me OOP cost, and you required to me show up to my appointment the morning of, not knowing if everything went through for me to get the crown fit. Already overdue for crown and in pain. I arrived to appointment and they took me back. Before going back I asked if insurance had gone through, and they STILL had not run in yet; but was told "yeah she'll be good, we'll do it now" by woman sitting in back by desk area I spent over 2 hours at clinic for crown fitting. I drove 10 minutes away to go back to work, and they said I needed to come back because "they DID NOT take my FINAL FIT FOR MY CROWN". Had to take more time off of work to show up 2 weeks later for last impression. Overall final crown placement went smootly, but my natural tooth above was shaved down to fit my crown. NO. Dentists, shaving and messing around with someone's natural healthy tooth and shaving away enamel is exactly how I wound up with weaker teeth and less protection for them in the first place.

I was in need of a dentist badly. I've lived in ATL for ten years since transferring from Nashville and have not had a good experience finding a dentist. I was experiencing major teeth pain and decided to check the internet in the Buckhead/Brookhaven area. There was only one dentist that had a 5-Star rating. I call Dr McNay's office number but the office was closed . A recording provided a number to text Dr McNay with my problem. Dr McNay immediately replied and called my pharmacist in an antibiotic and texted he could see me on Wednesday. I called his office Wednesday morning and was able to be seen that afternoon. After x-rays, I was told I needed two root canals. Dr McNay was gracious enough to provide me with two options, either have them performed that day between his other clients or come back on Friday (the office was closed) to perform the two root canals. I elected to come back Friday. Upon arriving, Dr McNay and his staff were just finishing a team orientation meeting. I was escorted to a room to perform the two root canals. Dr McNay and his dental assistant were first class. I've never had a better experience having a dental service performed. I am to return in a month to finalize my root canals. I cannot say enough how wonderful this Dentist and staff are. I can honestly say I have finally found a new Dentist for my family.

I had the pleasure of visiting Dr. McNay's office on 7/1/2016. I was first greeted by the Front Office Coordinator Janell; let me say she is awesome. She was full of life at 6:45 a.m. in the morning and she set the tone for the rest of my time at the office. Everyone was super friendly, especially the Hygienist. I wish I remembered her name because she was great. I love the fact that they did not try to nickel and dime me like other dental offices. They were straight to point of what needed to be done nothing extra. I will be recommending this place to my peers.

A dutiful and dedicated Dentist and staff to say the least! Dr. David and his team are so caring and concise that they have me EXCITED to go to my dental appointments! The office is conveniently located in Brookhaven right near Haven & Valenza so parking is never a problem. The office decor and technology is top notch; you can even watch TV while they preen your pearly whites! Gretchen was my hygienist and was not only detailed but gracious and so kind! She was fast yet thourough and explained to me what she was doing throughout the process which I really like! Dr. David is personable, professional and won't steer you wrong in treatment options. Five-stars all round, Restoration Dental- keep up the awesome work! SDT

Not very thorough or attentive. Went here for the first time today after relocating from LA. Got a cleaning and exam. Dentist failed to spot a cavity that both my gum specialist and general dentist from LA managed to spot. Did almost nothing as part of his checkup procedures other than flash a light in my mouth. Seemed to be in a rush and did not give me the time I wanted
