Aesthetic & Implant Dentistry Of Atlanta

After years of not going to the dentist because of having prior bad experiences, I researched for an experienced Prosthodontists. I found Dr. Zelby and saw he had good reviews so I made an appointment for second opinion on my broken off cracked tooth. The office was clean and nice and staff friendly at sign in.
During my meeting, Dr. Zelby seemed knowledgeable regarding implants vs endo/​crown and he made several suggestions and recommendations for fixing the tooth.
The reason I am taking off from my review is that Dr. Zelby had an assistant in the room helping with my evaluation/​consultation who may have been dentist in training. This assistant asked me a bunch of irrelevant/​annoying questions in which I did not have answers. She asked to see a picture of me. I said did not have. She said you have no selfie’s everyone has selfie’s. I am a 52 year old female that does not walk around taking selfie’s nor do I know what this has to do with evaluating my current situation. Instead of her moving on to something else she kept asking the same questions. How did you crack your tooth? Um. when you answer «I was eating and I felt hard pieces in my mouth then realized it was my tooth I was eating because it had cracked and broken off», this response should had be enough to get a light bulb to come on. that I know no more than this which is why I am at the dentist. I wish I know more why it broke but I have no idea. It got annoying when she asked repeated for old xrays which I did not have because I had moved around a lot (told them that) and this assistant had some put down digs as if I had never taken care of my teeth before. I am not a bum nor snag-​a-​tooth. After losing 6 family members in 3 years and being a caretaker to my now deceased mom, brother and father, I must admit I did not dental floss regularly, but I brush daily and floss several times a week so do not need to be reminded of my lack of. It’s all about moving forward from here. more consistent and healthy behaviors and choices.
I came back to the dentist to not be insulted by what you perceived as bad eating or unhealthy habits. I came because I am trying to move forward from past that I can not change and to now focus on getting on a plan to correct and fix.
After our meeting, I scheduled a followup appointment to begin the recommended work on my tooth. However, since coming home am now definitely having second thoughts of going back just because some of the conversation did leave a uncomfortable bad taste in my mouth.
I was disappointed that both the assistant and Doctor stood there discussing all the problems in my mouth and teeth without showing me what they were talking about or where the issues are located in the mouth proposing to fix. It was like I was not even sitting with them in the room. The feeling almost bordered on being RUDE.
I think Dentist can’t help but making you feel bad when you come in to see how to fix a problem. You know you have a problem in the mouth why do they insist on magnifying it and asking a lot of dumb questions to remind you that yeah I got a cavity because I ate candy and did not brush property. or I skipped out on seeing you for years and now I am paying the price. Insulting or condescending attitude is not needed. The best approach is to be supportive that the person has finally come in for their problem and now we can evaluate and then develop a plan together to resolve the issues.
Other than this awkward conversation, I believe Dr. Zelby is a good dentist, and seemed to be experienced and knowledgeable in his craft.

The is the über spa of dental offices!!! Susan was very complimentary & patience… She offered directions, due to my GPS failing me miserably… But once I arrived to the office I felt so relaxed!!! The view in the waiting area is amazing & therapeutic… Dr. Zelby and his staff are amazing!!! I’ve never been made to feel so comfortable ever… They offer water or juice, and even a blanket!!! The view from the room I was in was also spectacular… The bathroom was clean & designed nicely!
Dr. Zelby provide in-​depth information related to TMJ & I felt confident about his recommendations… I look forward to coming back in order to get fitted for the night guard!!! I would totally recommend this office, especially if you live or work in the area… The customer service is out of this world!!!

I was visiting Atlanta when my jaw locked. Dr. Zelby was highly recommended to me, and he was able to fit me in. I have been dealing with TMJ for years, and every dentist I’ve seen does not know how to address it. Dr. Zelby knew exactly what to do and manipulated my jaw to put it back in place. He also worked with me on a long-​term solution. I was very impressed with Dr. Zelby’s knowledge. He took his time and made sure I left happy. Dr. Zelby also has the best staff in town. They treated me well from the minute I arrived. Thank you to Dr. Zelby and his entire staff!

The entire staff is amazing! Both times I have gone, there is little to no wait, they offer you water and the waiting are is very comfortable with an awesome view. I would recommend Dr. Zelby to anyone

I’ve been going here for nearly 20 years and I *highly* recommend AIDA to all my friends and relatives. Due to all the dental drama I’ve gone through before I found Dr. David Zelby and AIDA, I unfortunately have a good idea of what average and even sub-​optimal dental care is like. What a relief and blessing they all have been since! I could go on and on about the professionalism and warmth that I and every patient recieves during each visit, but it suffices to say that I have complete faith in this group to provide world-​class dental care. Unfortunately for me, I have needed dozens of hours in a dentist’s chair and have had a number of dentists before I found my home with AIDA. I have two prosthetics in the front, but no one would ever possibly know they aren’t my originals and they look amazing. I normally don’t take selfies, but if you or anyone would like to see their work I’d be glad to send a picture :). I say to anyone who may be worried about visiting the dentist: you will be blown away by how good an experience it can be when you come here. I have PLENTY more I could rave on about, so if you or anyone wants the extended version or has any specific questions then please send me a message and I’d be glad to share my stories with you :)

Dr. Zelby and his staff is the very best! Just left his office today and I couldn’t be happier!

I went to Dr. Zelby for the first time today. I was shocked to find there was no wait. I’m use to going to a dentist and waiting at least 15 mins before seeing the doctor. The staff was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Dr. Zelby was wonderful. He sat down and talked to me. I didn’t feel rushed.
I would definitely recommend this office.

I HATE GOING TO THE DENTIST… or at least I did. In the past going to the dentist has unfortunately, been that thing I did when I was either forced to by the military during our semi annual check-​ups or force by excruciating pain cause by a tooth. I believed that «bed-​side manners» was a course that Dentist got to skip in Dental school. They have always made me feel uncomfortable and delivered the news of a cavity as if it was the most shameful consequence of self neglect any human could subject themselves to.
BUT TODAY WAS DIFFERENT!!!
First let me start by saying Beth and Susan over the phone and in person were super professional and friendly and Beth did everything possible to accommodate my needs and time constraints. She also made sure that I maximized my benefits and understood my out of pocket cost. The dental assistant and dental hygienist #SUPERAWESOME. My teeth feel like I took them out and clean them in the dishwasher on UTLRA.
But above all, Dr. Zelbly, made me feel comfortable, relax, and even entertained by his «Long Island humor». He assured me along the way that I had nothing to worry about because he was good at what he does. He instilled confidence so that I would have no reason to doubt it. This was an awesome experience. He raised my standards to 5 Star Standards and delivered!!!

Is being a pleasure and great experience to be able to join Dr. Zelby team. they are great people most of all by that made me feel like family, give me the opportunity to learn to improve my self plus he treat patient as they were a family member with respect and high quality I proud of be part of the team.

Dr. Zelby and his staff are wonderful. He really loves what he does and I noticed this from the beginning, my first visit was much more than expected. I am looking forward to a continued relationship with Dr. Zelby as well as his staff that will improve my overall dental health. Would like to add that the hygienist (Terie) was wonderful.

I LOVE Dr. Z and his staff! He is a top-​notch dentist. I came to his office in distress after experiencing two horrible dentists who had no business practicing dentistry. I had developed a fear of the dental experience. He and his assistant Beth were super sweet, attentive, and patient. They put the pro in professional. They were genuinely concerned with my special circumstances and kept me calm and reassured. I received a crown that I can’t even tell is in my mouth. Finally, after 9 months of pain and discomfort received from posers, Dr. Zelby has restored my faith in the dental experience. He will have my family’s business until he retires. Thanks, Dr. Z!

The best in atlanta wouldn’t go anywhere else takes care of me everytime, absolutely incredible work and what nice people. Thank you very much for the great work you do!!!

I just went for my first cleaning with Dr. Zelby. I just got braces, so I was a little nervous about how things would go. First of all, the office is easy to find, parking is free, and the office is spectacularly beautiful. The front desk staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and I was seen promptly at my appointment time. I had the most thorough cleaning I’ve ever had, and they even offered to contact my orthodontist for recent x-​rays to avoid having to do them again. I appreciated this, from a reduction in radiation exposure, and also from the standpoint of a reduction in unnecessary expenditures. I never got the sense that they were trying to upsell me on something. The dental hygienist was extremely knowledgeable, did a thorough screening, including for oral cancer, and astutely noticed a slightly swollen lymph node related to a recent bacterial illness. They used an ultrasonic tool instead of the old-​fashioned metal scraper to clear the tartar off my teeth, and then finished up with a sort of sandblasting with baking soda which was painless. Dr. Zelby believes that he is the best dentist in Atlanta. I believe he’s right.

This place has the best dentist in Atlanta, hands down. I’m a diabetic and in nursing, so I’m veeeery picky about who works on my mouth. Dr. Zelby and co are accommodating (they once saw me at 7:30 AM) caring (after a pretty rough root canal, they called me at home on a Friday night to see if I was okay or if they needed to call in a pain prescription to a 24 hr pharmacy) and on occasion, miracle workers (due to several issues, my husband had to have several teeth removed; after Dr. Zelby was done, you would never know he’d lost any.) They are very flexible with payment (they also worked out a payment plan when my husband lost his job.) Call them!

Started with Aesthetic & Implant Dentistry of Atlanta about 1 year ago due to issues with my previous dentist’s work. This is my fourth visit over the past year and each time I have been very pleased. I am very pleased with Aesthetic & Implant Dentistry of Atlanta and would recommend them. I am Currently getting a crown replaced that a previous dentist improperly installed and Dr. Zelby is doing a great job. Nice office and very pleasurable staff. I would recommend them. Dr Zelby does a great job.

Beyond belief that I am the first to review Dr Zelby.
David is the most amazing, talented, caring gentle and kindest dentist I have ever dealt with in my life. I was very VERY hesitant to go and see any dentist. Alas I knew I had to. A friend referred me to David, Still not wanting to go, I knew I had too. Believe me, Drills, Needles and any other utensils that are used in the medical field give me the hee bees. This Gentleman is without doubt a credit to his profession. Then add to this the wonderful and TRULY caring staff. From the moment you walk in to leaving If I had 10 Thumbs they would be all up along with my toes! Enough said.
