Dr. flax and team are perfectionists in the best way possible. On top of that, they really care. You can tell not by what they say but through their actions and how they treat you. Always professional, always kind. read more

I have been going to Hugh for 30 years and his hygienist are supposedly experienced in parodical dentistry. He sent me to Brock Pumphrey. They supposedly were foes. What a crap show. Pumphrey's Hygenic stuck me in my gums five times in my gums in the same place to say I need a deep cleaning. What the heck two Dentist who want to play the game I'm out. read more

Thankful for the wonderful care I received today from Faith and the entire staff at Flax Dental! The exam, cleaning, x rays, and administration was all conducted very professionally and politely as always. I trust this top notch team completely and appreciate all the they have done for me over the years. read more

I called to see how the 6 month process worked and that i was interested in getting started to straighten my son 12 yrs old and re-straighten my daughter 19 yrs old teeth.(bad with retainer) The lady seemed irritated with my question and gave me a number to refer my son to since he is under 15 yrs old. She proceeded to hang up and i stopped her and said what about my daughter she is 19 yrs old and i wanted to get info on their 6 month process. She appeared irritated again and i could hear a slight huff in her voice before she said hold on and went to transfer me to someone else. Congrats on the booming business, clearly you are not impressed in anyway to obtain new customers. (FOR THE RICH & FAMOUS ONLY!!) read more

Late in life I developed a resistance to novocaine - uh oh! Luckily I heard about Dr. Flax and found someone that could treat my cavities with no pain whatsoever. I've always been very impressed at the level of service I receive at Dr. Flax's office - the staff knows me and is super friendly when I come in. I get a warm neck pillow when I'm getting a check up and cleaning, and I feel very relaxed. The whole office is professional and welcoming! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Flax and his staff since 2003. I don't have enough room on this page to list all the positive things his staff and he have done for me. I recently retired and moved to Savannah a year ago. One of my regrets for moving that far away was that I would have to find a new dentist in Savannah. Well, after one visit to a dentist's office, I've decided that I will travel the 5 hours to Atlanta to see my favorite dentist and his wonderful staff! They are the best! read more

Dr Flax and everyone in his practice is superior! I am a good critic, so believe me, when i say they are meticulous to every detail; they are! read more

Dr. Flax is outstanding - difficult to say enough good things about him and his staff! Highly recommended :-)

This was the last of 4 dentists I visited for "smile consultations". I had braces when I was in high school but was never really good about using my retainers so my teeth are only mostly straight. Since then, I've also had 2 professional bleachings (3 years apart) and more recently, a deep cleaning for gum issues that are starting to become a problem. My point is, my teeth look fine and no one would ever have anything bad to say about them, but they certainly aren't Hollywood perfect either. I've always been intrigued by veneers and the way they can improve a B- smile to an A++ smile so after thinking about them, and saving up, for the last 6 years or so (I had heard that veneers were approx $1k each), I finally decided this would be the year to start seriously considering getting veneers and Googled my way to 4 cosmetic dentists with fantastic reviews. NOTE: I automatically crossed off the Atlanta Center for Cosmetic Dentistry because I knew it would be insanely expensive simply because it's a "name" everyone knows and thinks of first when it comes to veneers. Below, I'm going to review THIS particular practice and link you to the other dentists so I can keep these reviews as relevant as possible. Also, keep in mind that I'm reviewing these practices for COSMETIC dentistry only. If I were to guess, all 4 of these would be great choices for general dentistry. Dentist #1: Dr. Boulden (http://www.yelp.com/biz/atlanta-dental-spa-roswell) + spent 90% of my appointment talking to the Dr. + tried to "up-sell" me on a new perio-tray technology for my gum issues - $1700 per veneer Dentist #2: Dr. Giesler (http://www.yelp.com/biz/dina-j-giesler-dds-magd-and-associates-atlanta) + spent 85% of my appointment talking to the Dr. + quoted me $1500 total for bleaching & bonding to achieve the look I wanted without veneers + $1500 per veneer if I really want to go that route Dentist #3: Dr. Patel (http://www.yelp.com/biz/ashish-c-patel-dds-marietta) - spent 50% of my appointment talking to the Dr. - he said the perio-tray (as suggested by Dr. Boulden) is a gimmick & that bonding (as suggested by Dr. Giesler) is not a good option for me. - $2000 per veneer Dentist #4: Dr. Flax + Saw an endorsement for Dr. Flax in an issue of Sky Magazine while on one of my many business trips so he appears to be well recognized & respected in the cosmetic dentistry world. Of course, I knew this would equal $$$ but I scheduled a consult anyway to see what that amount would actually be. - When I first called to schedule a "smile consultation", the lady started to explain that the whole process would entail 3 separate visits. When I asked if that's the same smile consultation that's listed as being complimentary on the website, she said, "Oh. No, that consult is just to see if you're a good candidate for what you want to do but we won't be able to provide you with any pricing or quotes. The cost for the 3 visits for us to fully evaluate your mouth and provide you with a quote is $360." Umm, maybe this is just me but isn't the whole point of a consultation to help me figure out how much money it would cost for you to get me the results I want? If I ALREADY knew that I wanted to get my teeth done here and was ready to shell out $360, I wouldn't need a consultation. Also, notice how I've already gotten complimentary consults from 3 other dentists so what I'm asking for probably isn't that unreasonable. Despite all this, I scheduled an appointment for the "complimentary" consult. + At 8PM the day before my appointment, Dr. Flax calls me on my cell just to say hello & see what he could do to make my visit more pleasant. This is a nice personal touch, but at the same time, it weirded me out a bit. + As soon as I was greeted in the waiting room by a lady in a suit and given a tour of the office, I knew this place would be the most expensive option out of the 4 places I'm considering. There's no doubt that this practice is one of the most technologically advanced dental offices in Atlanta. - Unlike all the other consults, there was no examination of my teeth or even pictures taken (guess that'll happen with the $360 option), just alot of pointless small talk. - Only 15% of my appointment was actually spent talking to the Dr. - No quotes were given. I realize it's hard to tell me EXACTLY how much I might spend, but can't you even tell me how much ON AVERAGE you charge per veneer?? SUMMARY: Definitely a good doctor with plenty of happy patients. However, I felt like he was too busy to actually care as much about each individual as the other doctors I met. Also, given the technology they have set up in this office and their inability to give me a quote without me paying $360 upfront, I'm going to guess everything is super expensive here (with quality to match I'm assuming). I won't hesitate to give them a call when I win the lottery and need dental work done. read more

Best dentist in Atlanta hands-down and a wonderful person on top of that. Well trained and attentive staff practicing state-of-the-art dentistry with old-fashioned customer services. Highly recommended. This review is from a dentist-phobe - if that helps. I know they've helped me enormously in getting and keeping my dental health. I've been a patient for years. I've had to visit a couple of other dental professionals over the years and they both looked in my mouth and said "wow. who did this work?" This is impressive, and also a little odd. But I could tell that they were truly impressed. Apparently Dr. Flax's is a practice doing dental art for other dentists. But for me its the place that keeps me healthy and where I know I'm getting the best that I can get. read more

I have been using Flax Dental since 1992, when Dr Flax fixed me up after I broke my front tooth in half. Dr Flax took the time then, to make sure the replacement tooth looked as good as my real teeth. But it is not just emergencies, for regular cleanings, Flax Dental stays current with new technology and processes to make your teeth look and feel good. I trust the team at Flax Dental so much that I now take my teenagers there for their dental work. read more

Absolutely countless reasons to make Dr. Flax your dentist! Trust me, this is worth the read! OK ... I admit it. I can be a high maintenance person, with a tendency to expect perfection; in addition to those characteristics, I was also considered a complicated dental case because of some challenging dental issues created by some unfortunate circumstances. As a result, I had to be very particular about whom I chose as my dentist. After interviewing multiple dentists, when I found Dr. Flax, I knew without question I had found not only the most highly skilled and experienced dentist, I found a consummate professional who is absolutely committed to excellence in every aspect of dentistry, as well as patient care. Dr. Flax demonstrated that he is not only dedicated to staying up to date on the latest trends and technologies, he is a perfectionist whom sincerely wants the most perfect outcome possible for every single one of his patients. An added benefit is that Dr. Flax's staff is also unsurpassed in making you feel like you are the only patient that walks through their door. I found the front office staff (Edi, you know I love ya girl) is always so friendly and welcoming, and willing to answer any question you pose in an extremely timely fashion. If a smile could have a voice, it would be Edi's voice. Tracey is equally as warm, and caring. I also found Dr. Flax to be consistently interested in me as an individual patient, willing to listen to whatever I felt I needed to ask, or mention. He was able to quickly assess my dental needs, and develop a plan of care that was designed for my specific needs. Dr. Flax even went out of his way to coordinate care for me with other medical professionals (ENT and oral surgeon), to assure that my outcome was complete, and of highest quality. I found Dr. Flax to be sensitive to and very capable of addressing my concerns regarding pain management. Of note, I had many of the most long and extensive dental procedures performed by Dr. Flax, and never once did the procedure itself or fear of pain scare me in any way, because of the profound trust I so quickly developed in him. After hours, Dr. Flax personally followed-up with my status every time I had an extensive procedure performed, and made himself available whenever needed. I knew I was never on my own in his care. After three years of treatment, I recently (May 2013) reached my goal of having a smile that is not only beautiful, but one that is designed to last a lifetime from structure and function, to the aesthetic look as well. I have been told by friends and family that I have been transformed by his dentistry; as a result, I cannot wait to get on with my life. I only wish every professional would choose to treat their patients like Dr. Flax does. I am blessed and honored to have received my care from such a brilliant, skilled, caring, and personable professional. My husband has also received excellent care from Dr. Flax, and his needs were challenging as well. We are big fans of his. You will never find another dentist or doctor who is more knowledgeable, or devoted to the care and well being of his patients. I could have never taken the journey with anyone else, and trust me, that is saying a lot. With Dr. Flax, you will always be in excellent hands! :) read more

Dr. Flax and his team provide exceptional service to their patients. I recently relocated from Dallas Texas where I was with the same dentist for almost 20 years. I have a full restoration of porcelain veneers and my dentist in Texas recommended Dr. Flax. He is an exceptional cosmetic dentist - and has been recognized across the world for his expertise in cosmetic dentistry. He makes his patients feel at ease and his entire care team focus 100% on the entire dentistry experience. He is truly amazing and I would recommend him to any patient in the Atlanta area. And, if you're considering porcelain veneers, he is the best in the business! read more

There is no better dentist than Dr. Flax. I have been a patient for over 25 years and never ceased to be amazed at the quality of work and level of personal service here. read more

I Inherited this guy when my dentist of 30 years retired and sold his business. I have never had a worse cleaning. Got home to find very obvious coffee stains between my teeth. I drink less coffee than I used to and have never come out of a cleaning with heavy staining still between my teeth. Both the hygienist and Flax could not have missed it On top of that, within the first minute of meeting him, he commented on my size (I'm petite) and somehow used that as a springboard to tell me he drives an expensive car. I am not impressed by a vehicle but what that tells me is he's all about the money and impressing people. And, given the poor cleaning, he certainly doesn't care about my teeth enough to make sure they are clean. Oh, and then I had to call them to resubmit the insurance claim because they didn't bother do the appropriate paperwork needed to update the new office name. read more

I have spent many hours in the dental chair in my lifetime. An accident as a child cost me a front tooth. I have had 2 bridges to replace the tooth but was never happy with the appearance of either of them. After a long search, I finally decided that Dr. Flax was the one person I would trust with my smile. What made me choose Dr Flax? Simple...To find a dentist who not only has the training, skill level and sheer talent that Dr Flax has,but who is also a genuinely caring person is amazing. Dr Flax is currently the President of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry but you never feel intimidated by that. He and his entire staff go above and beyond to try and make you feel welcome and "part of the family'. Dr Flax takes the time to explain things, answer questions and address concerns before he ever starts the actual work. The very first visit, they take the time to get to know you as a person as well as find out what your past dental experiences have been like. Imagine that, treating people as individuals! What a concept! After gathering all the necessary records and having the most thorough cleaning you will ever encounter (Marie is AWESOME), your entire treatment plan is explained to you in as much or as little detail as you need. This takes 3 visits, but it was important to me to be thorough since I have gone through treatment before that left me disappointed at best. I am currently in my new temporary bridge and I can not tell you what it has done for me! I no longer try and hide my teeth and I am no longer embarrassed to smile! I fully expected to improve my smile but I had no idea! The great thing about this process has been the fact that I was actually able to have input. It has been a collaboration between Dr Flax and myself and I have been able to approve every step. Dr Flax welcomes feedback. It really boosts the confidence level when you know you will get what you expect. You can't put a price on that kind of peace of mind! I am excited about the final outcome instead of dreading it! To be continued... read more

I have had a great deal of experience with dentists and dentistry in my life, and Dr. Flax is, quite simply, the best. He achieves a balance of warm and compassionate care with the highest standard of professional service. Every member of his staff is top notch, and they each also display that mix of professional competence and friendly, approachable manner. I highly recommend Flax Dental to those who want the best in dental care. read more

My initial visit was awesome! The staff was friendly and attentive and Dr. Flax was also pleasant and on his "A" game! Going back for tooth extraction next week and crazy to say-looking forward to it! ...Had tooth extracted today and can't say enough about how wonderful Dr. Flax and his staff are! Dr. Flax even went out if his way to call me PERSONALLY to make sure I was doing ok! Awesome service! read more

Outstanding staff and Dr Flax leads the class of dentist! I have visited several dentist over the years and never felt as comfortable as I have with Dr Flax. He was very detailed and answered all my questions. If you are looking for the best, I recommend Dr Flax. read more

After a very bad experience with another dentist, I turned to Dr. Flax and his staff for their help. It was a long road to replacing eight veneers, restoring my gum tissue health and getting my bite under control. However, Dr. Flax was their for me every step of the way. He helped me achieve all that and more - he gave me my smile back. Dr. Flax still calls after every office visit to check on me and he has even made himself available on a Sunday to repair a veneer I had loosened over the few months it took to adjust my bite guard. That Sunday was my birthday and he didn't want me to miss my birthday dinner. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Flax, his professionalism and his commitment to excellence. However, most important of all, as person, he is genuine and sincerely cares about his patients. read more

Dr. Flax has been my dentist for 14 years, and I would never want to go anywhere else! The staff is always extremely helpful and cares to do what is best for you and your health through keeping up with the latest research and technology in their daily practice. I have not had any cosmetic work done in his office, but knowing I am getting the most up-to-date care with my general dentistry is important. Dr. Flax has a great team and it is obvious they strive to do the best they can for their patients day in and day out. read more

What a pompous ass, he is so full of himself and kept me waiting for my appointment. I had already been to a dentist to see about a cavity that needed filling. I moved to Atlanta recently so I looked for a new dentist and he seemed to be highly recommended, but he charged me for more than just one filling, he is a con artist and over charges his patients, beware, I only know this because of my consult before I saw him with my other dentist in Cleveland. read more
