If i could give negative stars I would. This place is horrible and they are just trying to nickel and dime you on everything. These guys ruined a root canal procedure and after several painful attempts they sent me to a root canal specialist. Next they decided that all of a sudden I have to have a deep cleaning, and it was not a suggestion but a mandate. They also tried the same thing with my wife as well. Just an awful greedy clinic that does not actually care about patients. Avoid this place... read more

5 star experience with Dr. Baker!! I did a tooth extraction last year ... and just did a couple of crowns. What I love about him is his " play by play" of what's going to happen . He makes the experience " enjoyable", even though I'm not a big fan of the dentist. If you compare his skills and moxy to an NFL QB.... It would be the GOAT. Tom Brady read more

My name is Gunnar but go by Gustov. I reached out to Dr. Baker regarding a future visit( as a new customer) and he acted rather strange. He posted my full name and address from two years ago. Very unprofessional and creepy. Kept asking me who gave him his number Found you off Facebook groups read more

Is it Christmas? Nope just my scheduled day for teeth cleaning.. but you would think its Christmas day. I woke up early and ende up getting to the office early! Let me tell you why my routine cleaning was the best part of the week... #1 Elizabeth has to be the best in the ATL. She makes getting your teeth cleaned something you look forward to. This is my 2nd time she cleaned my teeth and I made sure to sign up with her again! (For those that know how awesome she is and all to great stuff she has going on I wont spoil the updates so you will have to catch up on your next visit! ) #2 Well I also gotta give credit to Dr. Abbott as he has made Dental TLC so friendly and fun that you forget your at the dentist. From the TV on the ceiling, rock music in the lobby, and laughing gas its not what you would think a dental office is. #3 The know your human while everyone says they floss every day, they dont make you feel like crap about the fact your not perfect! #4 This particular visit I had also scheduled to get a cavity fixed up. I had the TV (yeah one on the wall and one on the ceiling) on a show and moved from the cleaning room to the cavity room. Before I got there they had already put my show on the tv in the new room. WHAT! Talk about making you feel comfortable. Dr. Patel was amazing and made sure i was dosed up on Novocain and while we waited chatted with me trying to get me to agree Chick-fil-a was healthy (we both agree we all think it is but know its just fried chicken) So for those of you thinking the dentist will be boring, painful, or not something where you are treated like royalty... you need to check out Dental TLC. *And just to make sure this was not a biased review from the laughing gas I waited till I got home from work to write it!! :) read more

Dental TLC - The team at Dental TLC rocks!! - General Dentistry Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

One star for the years I was with Dr. Abbott. He was the best! I really should have left when he became injured. Patel claimed that I have a cracked tooth but was never able to provide me with an X-ray. Now that I know better, my trust for dentists is non existent. The issues I've had with that tooth since I let her touch it are never ending. I had no pain nor did I have any cavities. I immediately needed a root canal from whatever she did or didn't do when she installed the crown that fell off within a day. The front desk sent threatening emails about a $25 no show DURING COVID when they'd never had any issues with me paying my copay before. I'm sorry that this place has become what it has. No empathy for patients especially since I'd been there almost 10 years. read more

Dental TLC offers First Class Service!! We have been going to Dr. Abbott since the 1990's and travel past hundreds of Dentist offices because of his patient care and friendly caring environment. The Staff are top notch on everything from the moment you enter. Come and see for yourself what our family enjoys about to Dental TLC!! We are so Thankful and grateful for you All!! read more

Service. Thought I was negative in my review. But it was his staff after 20 years that changed. Dr Abbott is no a full time Dr there. He had given his practice away. I will not be back. He thinks I'm being negative but this is the truth. Sorry Doc! Derogatory or truthful? Take your time and figure it out. Your staff is out of control! read more

Had been going to the dentist twice a year for many years in another state. Came in for a cleaning at Dr. Abbott's office and they said I needed a "deep cleaning" since I hadn't been with them in awhile. Seemed odd but since I had good benefits I thought I would do it as a one off thing. It was expensive and I had to come out of pocket even with good benefits. Here's the real kicker. They said going further since you had a deep all cleanings henceforth would have to be a deep cleaning. I mentioned this to my dentist in another state and they stated I didn't need a deep cleaning. Felt like I was being upsold something I didn't need. read more

The workers here have always been kind when I visit; they aren't judgmental, and extremely helpful in recommending options to help better your teeth. However, I did want to give a special warm-hearted thank you to Jensine. I needed to reschedule an appointment, but with such a tight work schedules most times did not work for me. Jensine stayed patient, kind, and also helped find an appointment that works for me before I go back to school after I turned down atleast 5 other appointment times. I hope both sides of her pillow are always cold and she never struggles to find good parking at the mall:) read more

I've had bad experiences in dentistry before and Dental TLC is the best it gets. The staff is kind and friendly. They answer your questions without making you feel anxious about asking. I will continue to come back to this dental office and I am happy I found it. read more

I have been coming here for over 20 yrs and I have always had a pleasant experience. The staff is fabulous and bonus.... They offer FREE laughing gas. read more

TOO EXPENSIVE- COMPARE WITH OTHER DENTAL OFFICES AND BE CAREFUL ! This dentist office is not in Delta Dental network and we were mislead. They will tell you they are and then call to advise additional funds are required. If you look above under "Questions" Dental TLC clearly responded stating they are "in network" with Delta Dental. It leads me to believe over the years things may have changed and now they are no longer in network with any insurance and can charge you higher than normal prices. read more

I have been going to the same dentist since I was a teen so when I moved to Atlanta it's been tough finding a reliable new dentist. After trying 3 different dentists I finally came here on a friend's recommendation. Everyone is super nice and knowledgeable. Appointments are thorough and efficient. They have some basic policies to ensure timeliness and schedule adherence. Will be coming back read more

UPDATED REVIEW 8/17/2023: I've been going here regularly for nearly 5 years and I know I will never change places. Even when I moved to Smyrna in 2021 I STILL come here because it would be hard for another office to top the service. Long story short I had a really scary wisdom procedure yesterday that I was super anxious about the week leading up to it. The care of the entire dental team that I experienced in the office yesterday helped ease me so much. I know they cannot cure my anxiety for things but the fact they take your anxiety so seriously is unbelievably amazing. I felt so cared for and I didn't feel like my anxiety was brushed off at any point. From Allison and Shawna in reception, to Poni who really did the most amazing job keeping me calm in the beginning and being so sweet, and Kelly and Dr. James who I cannot recommend enough. :heart: (Also shoutout to my regular hygienist Barbara whom I always request for cleanings) To Dr. Roger Abbott, thank you so much for creating this establishment for high anxiety dental patients. I don't know how I could ever see anyone else for my dentist needs. See you in February! ***************************** ORIGINAL REVIEW 10/30/2019: This place did such a great job I could have sat there and got my teeth drilled ALL DAY. It was so relaxing! Full review below: I have a lot of really great things to say. But first here is my story. I've had dental anxiety for most of my life and avoided the dentist for so long. When I sat a lot of anxiety, I mean A LOT. Like more than a scared child. So obviously I was very scared to go back. I didn't take of my teeth as much as I should have but I didn't completely neglect them either. I started seeing a small black hole on my back molars and my bf encouraged me to go now while it didn't hurt so it wouldn't evolve into something bigger. For me, even just making the appointment took a lot of courage to work up to. But I did it. The entire week I was so anxious. I hate to play favs here but I owe a huge shoutout to ROCHELLE in reception. She listened to all my crazy questions, reassured me, and talked to me extensively about the high anxiety options and treatments they do here. I called probably 4 times in one week leading up to my appointment! She even took the time to make a note in my file about my anxiety for topical. The appointment went WAY BETTER than I expected. I was so terrified I have severe decay/gum disease but apparently my xrays showed my bone and alignment were still very strong. The best news was that I didn't need a deep cleaning, which I was super anxious about needing! The news came that I needed fillings, which was expected. I started to get really anxious again but the best part about it? THEY WORKED ME IN THE SAME DAY and did all 3 fillings in my FIRST APPOINTMENT. They even offered if I wanted sedation for it but I wasn't able to take off work on such short notice. Nitrous oxide does wonders! I told them the part I was mostly scared for was the injections since I get queasy about them in the gums, but I didn't even feel them with the topical! My fillings were all in the back but the whole injection process was over in about 15 seconds. After that I was so relaxed my most feared part was over. Dr. Dimple Patel was my dentist and she was very nice and honest too. I was so relieved when she took my anxiety seriously and didn't try to brush it off. I'm so glad they worked me in the same day, that was amazing and I got all of my work done in a SINGLE APPOINTMENT! My anxiety was so much lower after this visit and I'm going back in 6 months for my cleaning. Can you believe I'm actually looking forward to it?? Thank you Dr. Dimple, Rochelle, Bri, Stacia, and Danielle for all your help and coping with my anxiety needs yesterday. I super appreciated it and I will never forget it. I look forward to seeing this team again. Thank you for all you did! Amanda T read more

Dental TLC - Post Surgery 8/16/23 - General Dentistry Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I've been going to Dental TLC since 1998 and have been seeing the same hygienist (Barbara) and dentist (Dr Abbott) since then. They're truly amazing and make you feel at ease along with some good humor. Today, Barbara and Bre took good care of me for my cleaning and Dr. Abbott came by to check out my teeth before sending me on my way. Everyone, including the office staff, are so nice and attentive to my needs over the years. I highly recommend Dental TLC and they even throw in free laughing gas! read more

I have been going here for countless years, even when I lived in florida I would fly up twice a year and no matter how far I live I make the drive. Let's start with the front office staff meeting everyone is truly amazing, happy to be there welcoming and accommodating: emails and phone call reminders about appointments and really do all they can to make sure you are happy and comfortable. As far as the back office staff dentists, hygienist and assistants are all amazing , hard working and go the extra mile . I am lucky to see Barbara and Bree and I have to say they truly are the greatest , to go into an office who doesn't make you feel bad if your teeth aren't what they should be , no negative talk , never try ti make you do services that aren't needed and on my first visit many years ago it was the first time a dentist did but talk poorly about the previous work: Dr. Abbott is a true professional, always does a complete exam and is nothing but positive. I recommend this place so much my mother comes from florida for her check ups and also refuses to go elsewhere now. read more

I likely pass 100 dentists along the drive in order to continue to go to Dental TLC! They are that great. Dental TLC is the very best dental office in the Atlanta area. I've been going to them since 2003 when I moved to the Atlanta area. I now live in north Atlanta/Alpharetta area but their office is just a few minutes off of 285, so it's a pretty easy drive (and worth it). They are honest, great staff, professional, and the experience is wonderful. They whitened my teeth and also did minor cosmetic work to fix them to look absolutely perfect (where I ground down a few in my college years) before my wedding. Highly recommend any of their dentists, and the overall practice run by Dr. Abbott! read more

My 2nd visit in a row and their customer service is now terrible. The last visit i went in and waited approximately 10 minutes past my appointment time then once in the exam room was given conflicting information re: X-rays etc. After an extensive wait X-rays were taken then a hygienist came in for an exam and told me I'd need a deep clean. I asked for an explanation and she left then the dentist came in a chatted for a bit and left. After another long wait the hygienist came back in and we talked (got a solid explanation) then she said she'd be right back with a game plan and we could schedule. 1 hour later I walked out without being seen or talked to. You got that right I was in the char for 2+ hours with only 5 minutes of X-rays and two people looking in my mouth for less than 5 minutes each. So I decide to try again and had an appointment today for the cleaning. I show up with my new insurance card, which my wife confirmed they accept, and you'd have thought I was there to rob the place. I was told it would take at least two weeks for them to confirm my coverage. I told them it was Cigna the same policy as my wife which they have already confirmed, but no I was treated like a fool who shouldn't darken the door. I've been using this practice for 18 years and it's unreal how terrible they have become. Thanks for your reply. Yes my google name is different. On my prior visit I was left in the exam room post x-rays and chatting with a dentist and the hygienist for an hour. Lastly, your receptionist was rude and didn't offer any solutions. I did allow her to speak, but she just kept repeating herself, I offered her my phone with the photo of my insurance card on it and she never reached for it or acknowledged that I was offering it to her. Were she my employee she would be looking for new employment. My wife, Jane, has been using your practice sine 1996, when it was just you. She is also looking for a new dentist and yes I have been a patient since 2006. read more

In my opinion, I am the worst patient ever. I had a traumatic experience as child so walking into any dentist is difficult. I have been a patient of Dental TLC for many years and I will remain a patient here. Dr. Abbott, Bree, and Gabrielle put me at ease and were extremely patient with me. They are the kindest team you will meet. Everyone in the office has a smile on their face and are extremely compassionate, no matter your circumstances. This is the type of dental office everyone should experience and I hope you consider making an appointment with them. You won't go anywhere else. read more

Always great service & very friendly staff! I've been a patient for over 10 years & love the office & staff!! ~Monica McKinney read more

I been a patient since 1996. The best staff and dentists in GA. 1st class service. Thanks Dental TLC for always making me smile.

Dr. Abbott and Team are phenomenal. Scheduling is easy and they are very responsive, whether you call, text, or email. They seem to accept most insurance and I haven't had an issue using them with Aetna or United Healthcare. On my initial visit, he took some thorough X-rays, discussed them with me, and referred me out to an orthodontist to get braces. I have my braces on now but return to Dental TLC quarterly for cleanings. Love it here! They also offer free laughing gas (for those of anxiety-prone clients, lol). Highly recommend! read more

Great team in great facilities! Dr Abbott and his crew have always taken great care of my dental needs

We are going to miss this office. Dr. Abbott is awesome. I hear his son is the same. Doc has been my dentist since 2001. My daughters' since they were very young. I recommend to anyone willing to drive because the service is great. My new insurance does not cover as much as my former insurance did. Our family simply cannot afford the additional cost and we travel quite a way to the office. Please take advantage of the option to have them call you about out of pocket costs. It is provided so patients are not blindsided by costs. Appointments are not easy to get and you don't want to have to cancel because your budget was not prepared for the out of pocket costs. read more

I and my family have been with Dr. Abbott for 26 years and there is a reason for that. His skills and experience are secomd to none. His phenomenal positive spirit and uplifting attitude create an environment that actually makes a person look forward to going to the dentist. His staff is very professional yet highly personable and the facility is state of the art as well as always clean. I feel very confident in saying that if Dentaltlc is not your dentist practice then my dentist is better than yours. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dental TLC. Coming here for 23 years should say everything. Give them a try you won't be disappointed

Dental TLC is the best! Dr Adams, Barbara and their team make me feel comfortable on every visit. They are always on time/schedule and just make each visit an enjoyable experience. Id go no where else. Highly recommend! read more

I was told to come to dental TLC after two co-workers had provided feedback. I've had variable experiences with dental providers in the past which leads to anxiety for appointments. All staff, from scheduling, to the dental assistant, to the hygienist were professional, kind and honest. Dr Baker was so kind and thorough in discussing next steps in treatment planning, what to expect, and was very reassuring in his recommendations. I would highly recommend anyone coming here for their dental needs. read more

I've bounced around different dental practices until 22 years ago when I walked out Dental TLC for the first time 22 years ago. And I've been going back ever since! Dr Abbott and entire Dental TLC team are amazing and make the dental visits as comfortable and convenient as possible. Five stars! read more

I've been in the care of Dental TLC since 1997. Everyone there is friendly and helpful! I especially love my hygienist, Barbara and her assistant Bree! it's always a pleasure to see them and Dr Abbott is simply the best!!! read more

The best dentist's office! The staff are so friendly and kind, they always make sure i'm ok and feeling comfortable.

I have been a patient at Dental TLC for over 20 years and the experiences have always been exceptional! I particularly appreciate the amazing team that always ensures the experience is relaxing, pleasant and stress free. The expertise has been everything you wish from a dental visit and I would highly recommend Dental TLC to my friends and family! read more

Here's the short version: Dental TLC and Dr Abbott are the absolute best. The kindest, most professional, just all around best. Long version: I used to go to Dental TLC because dentists made me nervous. But after awhile I got more comfortable (because they're amazing) and decided to start going to another dentist that was closer to me. This was my big mistake, but I won't make it again! I won't name the other dentist in this story but suffice to say I got VERY frustrated with their level of service and care. I'd get appointments incorrectly scheduled, contradicting information and just an overall not personable interactions. After I was told I'd need to see several specialists and get a number of procedures on a tooth and that it was urgent, I decided to go back to Dental TLC for a second opinion. Thank God I did! Dr Abbott told me not to touch it, and that it's fine. He saved me lots of money and probably my tooth as well. He's seen it all, and he knows what he's talking about. I'm sorry I ever left. I'm a Dental TLC patient for life now, no matter how far away I move. read more

Love love love Dental TLC! I have been coming here for years and they are the best at everything!!!!! Dr Abbott and his teams rock!!!! Ok read more

Crazy expensive!! I went to Dental TLC yesterday for a cleaning which I did not receive. They booked a future appt for this and the cost of a cleaning is $1053.00!! This is outrageous to me. Other dental offices charge about $300. I won't be back to Dental TLC. This price does not include any xrays. read more

Dental TLC is an excellent choice for all your teeth-related needs. I made my first appointment at TLC when I moved to ATL, referred by my sister. I met Dr. Roger Abbott and from his music taste alone, I was sold. He also has the BEST bedside manner and attitude/philosophy about dentistry. The practice does a fantastic job in all areas and you always feel comfortable. Especially, with some laughing gas. However, this review is dedicated to one person and one person only; Christina, the front desk coordinator. Christina is the smiling face you see upon checking out and that may not always be the best part of your visit since you may or may not have to pull out the wallet. Christina gives specific details to confirm what your appointment included, future needed work, and answers ANY questions. The reason I think she's so amazing is because she has gone out of her way to call me several times just to make sure I'm satisfied & understand treatment plans, work completed on past & future visits, etc. Additionally, she contacted the periodontist who did my tooth extraction in order to smooth things over. She didn't have to do that but she was more than happy to do so. This helped me tremendously! She deserves a standing ovation and a raise. Thank you Christina & thank you Dental TLC. read more

My original review still holds true. Just to add: - Early morning appoints now start at 6:30 and sometimes 6 for those early birds. - Now they have cordless rotary teeth cleaning tool. So they can get in and clean even better. - All digital office. Check in, medical records, X-rays are all digital. Still my favorite place for dental work. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Roger Abbott since 1996 when everything was handwritten. He was the sole dentist back then. Today, his dentistry has grown tremendously with professional and administrative staff who are ALL awesome. Barbara, perhaps the longest employed hygienist IS the best. She has been with him since I commenced my journey at Dental TLC. In addition to the wonderful staff, his facility is equipped with the state of the art equipment to swiftly detect any health issues that may be lurking in your mouth that may not instantly be detected with less advanced technology. If you are seeking the best of the best dentist in the Atlanta area, look no further. Super clean and innovative establishment with the best employees!!! Arlene read more

TLC Dental is the best, I have been a patient of theirs for over 20 years. They are gentle and honest. Don't be scared if you haven't been to the dentist in a long time trust them it is in the name! read more

Outdone themselves again! They now have an EV charged for patients. I can't say enough good things about this place.
