Oral health care affects your entire body, physically and mentally, so finding a good family dentist for you and your loved ones is vital. You want a dentist that ensures a patients comfort, offers a range of dental services from preventative care to cosmetic and restorative procedures and has state-of-the-art technology to make the entire dental experience as painless and worry-free as possible.
Our goal is simple at North Atlanta Family Dentistry: helping our patients get and keep a beautiful, healthy smile. Our skilled and experienced team of dentists, assistants, hygienists, and office staff work together to realize this goal, giving our patients the time and individualized care they need to achieve healthy teeth and gums.

Dental procedures are the cause of much worry and anxiety for many people. For some, that worry is over the cost and how they will pay for their dental treatments. While most dental insurance plans cover preventative care and some basic care, including tooth extractions and root canals, major care is covered only in part, which can add up to major dental bills for you.
At North Atlanta Family Dentistry, we believe no one should ever have to worry about how they will pay for dental care, so we offer severalpayment options. We will work with your insurance provider to help you understand your policy and what services are covered.
