Richard E Williams,DDS

I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Williams and his staff. From the minute you walk in the door, they are making it a personal, memorable experience. They all made me feel comfortable and explained everything very thoroughly. I had a filling fall out from a prior dentist, and they made an appointment for me the very next day. Although it was an ‘emergency’ appointment, nothing felt rushed. Both the hygenist and Dr. Wiliams spent adequat time with me answering all my concerns. I would happily recommend friends and family to this office.

I’m writing this review for two reasons. First, Dr. Williams and his staff are some of the finest dental professionals working in the city. I have had consistently good work done there — cleanings, crowns, adjustments and more. All excellent.
I guess I should also apologize for being the one who recommended the negative poster on this page. I don’t quite understand how one can «receive a cavity» from a dentist — cavities are understood to derive from the patient’s history, eating habits or hereditary factors. So the idea that Dr. Williams caused a cavity is pretty silly.
Dentists are human and make mistakes, to be sure — I had one whose file broke off deep inside by gum and I ended up losing the tooth — but this does not rise to that level.
If you’re looking for a solid dentist — with the understanding that traffic in the area is usually pretty bad since they are at Piedmont Center in Buckhead — look no further.

It’s evident that Dr. Williams and his staff care more about just your teeth. They are friendly, informative and the office is comfortable and offers extras like headphones to listen to TV instead of the drilling and scraping of your teeth. Dr. Williams whisks from patient to patient, but you don’t feel like you’re being frisked by TSA. Dr. Martinez is a nice addition. As long as my insurance pays, I’ll be gong to this dentist.

Dr. Williams came recommended to me and I was relatively pleased with my visits until I had to have dental work done. I receieved two cavities from him that gave me probelms consistantly. I went in time and again and all he would do is shave more off the tooth.
Thankfully I changed dentist to someone who explained what was wrong, fixed it and replaced all of the work I had done by Dr. Williams. FINALLY, I am back to normal and don’t have any dental issues. I went from his biggest fan to his making a point to visit Unilocal to inform you of my disappointment in his work.

I never thought that I’d type the following words: I like my dentist. I really, really do. Dr. Williams and his staff are a delight and they’re a bit like family now that I have been going there for a bunch of years. They’re on Floor P in the Piedmont Center (Building 14), which is relatively easy to get in and out of. Janice, the receptionist, is really friendly and always smiling. I’ve never had to wait, which I really appreciate. They have plenty of magazines (People, US Weekly, etc.) and a small flat screen in each room. Marlyn is a fantastic, extremely thorough hygienist. I was joking with her today that she’s the reason I’m a regular flosser. When I first started going here, I told her that I floss «most of the time.» She told me that «you may as well not brush your teeth if you’re not going to floss,» and I’ve been flossing daily every since. How’s that for some tough love?
Dr. Williams is somewhat reserved, but always pleasant. Coming from someone who wrote a story about how «she wants straight, white teeth when she grows up», I’m always happy when he compliments my teeth and puts the kabosh on my ridiculous whitening ideas. 21^st Century Dental makes going to the dentist the most enjoyable that it can possibly be, from the text appointment reminders to the welcoming environment. If you have any dental insurance questions, give Janice a call, as I’m sure that she’d be happy to help. Also, they’re open until 6:30 during the week, so you can swing by after work.

I’m blessed with rock solid teeth. Never had a cavity. I thank Crest for that, but it’s probably due more to genetics. Nevertheless, I’m diligent about my hygiene and so I go for a check-​up and cleaning every six months. I was referred to Dr. Williams’ office by friends and couldn’t be happier.
I spend most of my time with the hygienist who loves to gab and doesn’t mind if you can’t respond beyond «oohs and ahhs» since her fingers are in your mouth — consonants are particularly tough. On my very first visit she read me such the riot act about not flossing regularly that it scared me shitless and I’ve been a faithful flosser ever since.
I can’t comment much about Dr. Williams himself since it usually takes him about a minute to look in my mouth and tell me that I’m a rock star, yet again. =) I’ll let other patients who require more in-​depth treatment comment on his skills. But he is a really nice guy.
As for his practice, the office is ultra-​modern, flat panel TVs above every dental chair, modern high-​tech x-​ray equipment, the whole nine yards. They’re good about reminding you of your appointment by sending emails and even text messages too.
Until next time… stay away, cavities!

Great! I was so nervous about finding a new dentist but a friend had referred him so i gave it a shot. His lobby was so comfortable and inviting. All the rooms have little TVs in them. The staff was so nice and happy to see you. The dentist was serious, but to be honest I preferred that to people who try to goof with you and end up acting like morons. I was very impressed all the way around. There was no unnecessary treatment and I wasn’t there long and i wasn’t overcharged. Plus they re hours are 11 – 630 to be more convenient for the patients that made making an appointment super easy too!
