Awbrey Dental Group

Great staff, always friendly and make you feel comfortable from the minute you walk in until you check out. Julie does a fantastic job every time. I love the new office. It’s a great addition to the group.

I highly recommend Dr. Ashley Palladino. She was my dentist in GA, and did a phenomenal job explaining treatment options and answering my questions. Her thoroughness on preventative care lets me know that she truly cares about her patients. I have referred friends and family to Dr. Ashley, who agree that she is has a gentle touch. If you are looking for a skilled doctor, who is professional and caring, please give Dr. Ashley at Awbrey Dental a visit!

The staff at Awbrey Dental is amazing! They make you feel at home, which is a pretty hard thing to accomplish when you’re at the dentist! I’ve had fillings, cleanings, a root canal and a crown done here so far. They’ve all been reasonably priced and the girls at the front desk are super helpful with figuring out insurance and such. You won’t have any bad experiences here :)

Amazing place to get any dental needs filled. They are very fast, knowledgable and so very friendly! Awbrey Dental is the best and I would highly recommend them.

A friend of mine recommended Awbrey Dental Group as my insurance was changing and was no longer going to be covered with by my old dentist. I was so pleased with Dr. Yonan and his staff! So professional and very understanding and patient when it came to my sensitive teeth. I can see how people think they upsell, but I really didn’t feel like they were pressuring me, just giving me my options. That’s what I expect when I see a specialist of any practice.
I would also like to give a shout out to one of their admin staff member, Theresa. She went above and beyond my expectations taking care of my appointment as I have a very complicated schedule with my own work. A welcoming and kind person is what keeps customers (like me!). No matter how frustrating I am sure I was for her, she was wonderful the entire time. KUDOS!

C’mon, what are you expecting? Moved here and wanted local dentist for cleanings.
Here are few salient points:
1. they responded to my online (Contact Us) inquiry within minutes and scheduled appointment for next day — impressive and appreciated
2. dr. yonan and the hygienist were personable and professional — extremely thorough
3. honored my request to expedite visit — no waiting around
In addition to cleaning, they did cross-​sell (optional, but recommended) preventative work and therefore increased my estimate, but like I said, what are you expecting? Overall, I’ve «visited the dentist» around 100 times in my life; ADG probably cleaned my teeth the best.
I’m a fan.

I’ve been using Awbrey Dental for close to 20 years. The first thing you should know about me is that I am a big baby when it comes to dental work. This is why I will only use Julie at Awbrey Dental for my teeth cleaning. She is very gentle and conscientious. I have never found a Hygienist to match her skills in making me feel comfortable, which is why I am compelled to write this review.
As my Dentist, Peter Yonan has been exceptional. He also knows I’m a bit squeamish about dental work. (He always reminds me to keep breathing… haha.) Over the years he has taken very good care of my mouth. He is gentle and attentive, which is really important to me.
To be honest, I was not born with very good teeth. Soft, and easily chipped enamel. Dr. Yonan improved my self esteem tremendously. Once upon a time I had a crooked smile, unconsciously hiding my imperfect teeth. Dr. Yonan changed all that. I believe he genuinely cares about my oral health. He has never tried to up sell me something I don’t really need, but instead listened to my concerns and addressed those problems.
I have never heard anyone say «I love going to the Dentist!» If you are like me, it can be daunting and a bit scary. I could go into detail about the work I’ve had done here (which has been a lot!) … root canals, extractions, implants and crowns but ultimately I just want to share that the care I received was thorough, kind and caring.
I have been and remain thrilled that I ever had the good sense to walk into their office and I hope this review helps others.

My Best Dental Experience! Great staff. I’ve seen 2 of their doctors and both were fantastic. I no longer fear dental appointments. I will be a lifelong patient of this group!

This review discusses my experience with Dr. Dunscombe (Dr. D., as he’s referred to) and Julie, the hygienist. I have only good things to say about Julie, who is an excellent communicator, extremely competent, and thoroughly understood my alternative philosophy about dentistry, which was obvious in her entire approach and aftercare.
Dr. D is a really nice guy, so as a person I have no issues with him. Professionally, however, that’s what really matters for those of you looking for a good dentist.
If Dr. D. really understood my preference about alternative dentistry he chose to ignore it. One example was his choice of using fluoride, which is a known endocrine disruptor. Most people in the industry have all drunk the Kool-​aid on that one, believing it’s as good as Monsanto’s ‘Roundup.‘
During two visits with Dr. D. his breath was the worst I’ve encountered in a long time, which surprised me for a dentist. I was able to get past that. Dr. D. did let me know that at any point if the pain was too much to let him know. There’s a point for Dr. D.
It was during the process of getting the temporaries off, and the crowns installed, where the issues became noticeably unprofessional. For starters, there was so much banter between the tech and Dr. D., that I felt like a piece of meat on the butcher’s table. It felt rude and inconsiderate.
Later as the crown process was coming to completion, without communicating directly to me, he handed me off to the tech to finish cleaning up the excess cement, which she failed to do successfully. There was a piece of cement between the two crowns that took a few weeks of flossing to remove. I did report this, along with my entire experience, but never heard anything from Dr. D. My conclusion was we had radically differing opinions of doctor-​patient relationships and professionalism.
There were other issues about the tech, which I also mentioned in my feedback to them. Again, I heard nothing from anyone about those issues, not even a ‘we’re sorry, and we want to make it right.’ Perhaps it wasn’t the first time, and possibly it was already determined it was not something that could be addressed. Not sure what their thinking was.
The staff were always pleasant. Dr. Scott substituted for Dr. D. on one occasion, and I found her a bit cold and uncaring. Not my cup of tea, and obviously I was not her cup of tea either.
When a dentist is receiving several thousand dollars from me for a service, I expect he and his tech to be focused on the task at hand, not bantering about what they like to do for recreation, and office politics. I even asked the question in my feedback to Awbrey Dental, «Do you have a different performance standard, and a different way of defining care than I am expecting?
Humans are imperfect, and I do not expect perfection at every turn. I do expect courtesy, respect, clear communication, and caring followthrough. Communication and caring followthrough are Dr. D’s weak points.
Hope this is helpful.

When it comes to dentists, I look for a few key things and Awbrey Dental hit the mark on all of them!
1. Expertise
2. Honesty
3. Thoroughness
4. Cleanliness
5. Comfort
They were also refreshingly straight forward on with me on what my insurance would cover and worked with me to prioritize treatment in a time line that would maximize the amount that would be covered by insurance. Dr. Peter Yonan was particularly nice to work with and took extra time to explain things to me in great detail. I’ll be working with them on a crown replacement (no small feat!) and know I am in good hands.
On a side note: Mara did my cleaning and was fantastic too!

I had tried 2 other Dentists in town when I found Dr Anne Scott. I am so happy with her Dental care. I am a nervous patient and she is sooo nice about this. I like my husband to come into the exam with me to calm nerves and they have been very accommodating unlike my last dentist. I will say they are about 25% higher cost than the other Dentist but their customer service makes it worth it to me. Other’s mentioned the upselling and they do that but I understand a business needs to bring in more revenue. I listen and make the decision for myself and say a firm no when I don’t want the procedure such as fluoride treatment.

please wake up people, insurance does not pay for dental care, the insurance companies only give you a little help. in 1960 dental insurance covered 1000 dollars a year with very little restrictions. today the average per year maximum benefit is around 1200 dollars a year. at best insurance is just a little piggy bank for your teeth

Two crowns and good to go. Fillings up next! I like these guys so much, my kids now go here too.

I always feel good going to my Dental Office. They listen and take great care of me. I would recommend them to my family and friends any day!

The whole family sees these dentists and although Anne Scott is friendly, I would not recommend this dental group to anyone new in town. As you can see from many other reviews, they break the cardinal rule of the patient-​doctor relationship – that is – you cannot trust them to give you the true picture of your dental health because they are always upselling you. After my daughter, who had gone to them for years, turned 20, they took advantage of her and sold her expensive dental work for which I found out after the fact the front office woman bullied her into writing a check for almost $ 1000 out of her own pocket rather than billing her insurance. I had to intervene and in the end they owed my daughter money (the insurance more than covered the ridiculous up-​sell of work). If they stopped upselling, got rid of the rude, low-​brow front office billing woman and stuck to patient-​oriented dentistry they might have a chance… otherwise, I would steer clear of this group.

this is my dentist, but they are always up selling and telling stories of if you don’t do this this will happen. My insurance company pays for good dental work. Not all the extra willy nilly stuff. If you are not a savvy consumer, you may be taken. I Just got taken for adult flooride (sp) treatment cost my out of pocket 51 bucks. Insurance did not pay. Not happy consumer.

I went to this dental group for a cleaning. I am searching for a dentist so I thought I would try this practice. The cleaning was great but I felt the dental staff tried to sell me on «other services.» I liked the staff but I don’t like the printed articles handed to me on why I should get more work done.
After I got the cleaning and they wanted me to come back in 4 months for a follow up, not the usual six months.
Overall friendly staff but pricey.
I am still searching for a dentist…
