DentFirst Lenox

Situated in the heart of Buckhead in a small strip mall, the location of this office is excellent. However this is not a dental office I will ever come back to. My suspicion is they care more about their Unilocal rating than actually helping patients, thus making me question the validity of some of the reviews shown here (if you look, many are from first time posters). However, I won’t dive into this as I have no way to prove, but only suspect.
I’ve been here on about 6 occasions and the staff working at the front desk are very nice and efficient. I’ve never had to wait long. Every time, there would be a different doctor that would be seeing me and one time I’d come in expecting to see one doctor and would be swapped for another. This is mildly unpleasant as you don’t actually get to build much trust on the person who is going to be working with you. So keep in mind that you’ll be putting all your trust into DentFirst chain to screen them. I will say that the doctors i have seen have been able to get basic fillings done with no issues and did a great job, but I can’t comment on how they’d be able to deal with more complicated issues.
Here is where things really fell apart for me personally with DentFirst: multiple occasions of them lying to me, providing false information and acting carelessly with patients. This was in particularly in relation to Dental X-​rays. If you refuse your dental X-​ray, be prepared for a fight, a lengthy nerve-​racking one with the dental hygienist first and then with the doctor for a second round. I thought I was a timeshare presentation there for a moment!
They care largely about safeguarding themselves legally as a brand, helping you does not take much of a priority at all. I politely informed the hygienists that I don’t want an Xray unless a doctor sees a dental problem that requires an X-​ray. I also said every time that if they need me to, I can sign any required paperwork saying I decline it. However, they would start a lengthy and unpleasant convincing process with factually wrong (not just misleading, but factually incorrect) information such as, «getting an X-​ray is like being in the sun for 10 min» or «all dental facilities are required by law to do the X-​ray.» Both are very absolutely false statements and this clearly tells me that they have no clue what they are talking about. Regardless of how one might feel about dental xrays, it is a personal decision that a patient can make based on factual information out there and it is poor service to decline a person to even be examined by a doctor without an xray. «Recommended» and «required» by the Dental Association are two different things, their staff needs to know that better. Also, newsflash for them when saying, «You won’t be able to find a dentist who does not require that an xray must be done.» Again, lies, most dentists who aren’t part of a greedy chain follow recommendations of ADA but don’t turn them into requirements. Anyways, last time, it got to the point where they started making up potential issues that they saw on an Xray 3 years ago to try and convince me into taking one. They actually refused to even do an exam without an X-​ray and after going to a different dentist, it confirmed there is no issues. If there was a problem, why didn’t DentFirst fix it 3 years ago when they did the X-ray…seems a little late to be reviewing my X-​ray now given that i’ve been there 6 times since.
To sum up the above, I couldn’t be happier to NOT be a DentFirst patient anymore. I am not here to debate the subject of Xrays, but being told blatant lies and being declined a dental cleaning/​exam without an Xray is unethical and unacceptable. Makes you wonder what else they would lie to a patient about…

I saw DR. Lauren Abes and she was an excellent dentist! I’m not from Atlanta but I needed to see a dentist and I called about 5 or 6 places before asking a friend and they told me about Dentfirst. I called Dentfirst and didn’t get put on hold, talked to someone right away and they not only had the best price ($ 40 less than most other places I called) but they were able to get me in the same day. Now I’m not one to skimp on medical procedures so I was somewhat skeptical because the price for an initial examination with X-​rays was so much less than the other places I called, but I needed to get in so I decided to give them a try.
It was by far one of the best dental experiences I’ve had. And their office was beautiful, clean, modern — it was great.
The staff was wonderful, the dentist was wonderful, the procedure was quick and painless. Oh and I knew the upfront price for the examination and x-​rays, but before I had anything else done I was promptly shown a summary of the total price of the visit, so had I not wanted to pay that amount or had I not been able to afford it I could have decided to just pay for the exam and x-​rays. But I got what I needed done and I would highly recommend them!
Oh and they have TVs mounted on the CEILING above the chairs — pretty awesome for a dentist office.

A hidden gem. This is a wonderful office on the inside; you may not notice it from the outside since it does not stand alone. It is very inviting and clean. The staff was AWESOME. Every single person I talked to, from the receptionist to the doctor, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely be a repeat customer and will be referring people to this office. Thanks Dr. Salazar and Carolina!

It was my first visit and to DentFirst and I had an appointment to get my teeth cleaned. My dental hygienist was Bonnie. She was awesome! She definitely made me feel at ease and was a total professional. I had not been to the dentist for a while and she was gentle yet efficient, my teeth were sparkling! ;) I had taken the time to make my appointment on my lunch break and she was able to get me in and out on time as well! I have already scheduled my next appointment and I can actually say I can’t wait to go back. I now call Bonnie my own personal oral specialist. If your looking for a great hygienist I suggest you see Bonnie at DentFirst Lenox!

I finally found the dentist I hope to have for many years to come! Skipping out on the dentist is a bad idea for sure but the staff at DentFirst are truly wonderful and and I am more than pleased with Dr. Salazar and the entire staff. Going to this office and having Dr. Salazar as my dentist has been the best experience ever. I highly recommend the DentFirst Lenox location for anyone looking for a great, efficient and caring dentist.

Truly one of the best dental experiences I have ever had. I came to DentFirst Lenox this morning as an emergency walk-​in and from the moment I came through the door I felt quite welcomed. I arrived at 8am when they opened and was out by 9:30am. My bridge fell out and needed to be cemented back in. The receptionist, Yelena and other office staff were very friendly and helpful. The dental assistant, Melanie, really put me at ease and made my experience exceptional. Dr. Sarembock was very pleasant, gentle, and accommodating. Not to mention, the office is very nice, spacious, and well-​kept. The TVs at each station were also a nice touch. Overall, I had quite a refreshing and efficient experience. For emergency and walk-​in needs, I highly recommend DentFirst Lenox.

If you’re looking for a great dentist and friendly service this is the place. I’m terrified of the dentist, I had 2 wisdom extractions, from the moment I walked in the door everyone made me feel comfortable and confident that I wouldn’t feel any pain and I was in good hands. Dr. Freddie Wakefield is the BEST oral surgeon. Ask for him if you’re looking to have an extraction.

Lauren Abes is also a great dentist! She was my first dentist there. She did an amazing bonding for me.

What a refreshing trip to the dentist! First of all the space is so open and impeccable! Not the desist of my childhood! Everyone is friendly and young and vibrant! They keep great history of us and everything runs so smoothly. TV on the ceiling and warm water cleanings are so lovely. I was cleaned, polished, and flossed by the Hygienist and examined by Dr Abes all in 30 minutes! Greatest dental experience to date.
Thank you Dentfirst!

Went here on the recommendation of a few friends who had been to other branches. Took the first appointment available on a Friday. They open 8am. Staff was in and had actually mailed me my paperwork earlier so I didn’t have to waste time going earlier to the location itself — made an impression. Adela at the reception was very nice and Carmen did the best job ever getting my teeth cleaned and x-​rayed, caring, gentle, courteous and attentive at all times. Doc checked on me as well and was really polite and straightforward in discussing dental health issues with me. I will be going back for further treatment and am pleased with the service, location, ambience, et al. I don’t have any other place in the area to compare it to so for now they are top of mind for me, I hope they don’t mess up in anyway — took me a lot of courage to book this appointment in the first place!

First if all, I am PETRIFIED of the dentist. The staff and doctors at DentFirst are always professional and gentle. They are the best dental office I have ever been to.

Dr. Lauren Abes and her office is incredible!! I The minute I stepped into the office the staff was so happy, friendly and helpful I couldn’t help but smile and feel at home. My cleaning (today with Renee who was wonderful!!!) was easy, fast, efficient and again everyone I came in contact with was so warm and genuine that I didn’t want to leave — I felt like I could have hung out in the waiting room all afternoon. Fast forward 6 months and I went in today for my 2^nd cleaning. Again, everyone remembered me and greeted me with a huge warm welcome and smile. And, the staff and Dr. Abes were super thorough, warm, patient and she didn’t overlook a thing. I left the office thinking that I need to tell everyone I can how amazing Dr. Lauren and her office and staff are! I just LOVE this office and feel so lucky to have found them and to be in their care! If you are thinking about using them — do it! You won’t go wrong.

I recently visited DentFirst Lenox after seeing the same family dentist for the last 15 years, I am officially moving on from my old dentist! I lost a crown on Sunday (keep away from skittles as an adult people!) and they were able to fit me in right away! As a person who has had a lot of dental work, Dr. Sarembock was one of the best I’ve had! He was kind and gentle and I appreciated him taking the time to explain everything he was doing.
Almost can’t wait to see Dr. Sarembock and the team at DentFirst again!

DentFirst rate! Got a stellar prophy from Renee, and Dr. Sarembock is the best dentist in town! Chairside manner, friendliness, and professionalism are all top-​notch! This is the dentist for you!
