After I entered the Marietta Dental and Implant Center, it was at that point that I decided to go…read moreto Yelp to look at the reviews. I am not sure why I didn't look here first, but I suppose it was due to what was considered in-network with my insurance coverage that made the decision for me and it was not to far from where I live. I was impressed that the office entry was very cozy and comfortable. The decor was simple, yet elegantly placed and it had a sophisticated design. There was a coffee and tea station available and the receptionist seemed very welcoming and friendly. While I waited to be seen, I decided to look at the reviews. Nothing too startling about the negative feedback generated any concern because I always look at who is providing those reviews. A few things I use to make my consideration for which business I select are (1) Is the review completed by a YELP elite? This matters to me because there is a reason we earn that distinction and it matters to me when I see that they have taken the time to make a careful review of the business. (2) How many friends the person has on Yelp? I know that if there are zero friends and no photos then it is highly possible the review could be fake or generated from a competing business who desires to tarnish the reputation of the competitor's business. (3) What the does the actual review SAY about the business that matters most of all? This is important to me because I need to know what the business did or did not do that they should be doing under the guidelines of what they are in business for. Back to the review... Once I was called back to the space where I would have my cleaning procedure completed, the young lady told me that she would take my ex-rays and then the dentist would review them to recommend what I needed and if I agreed they would proceed with the cleaning. She was not a touchy feely personality for her approach is very matter-of-fact and assertive. I was not sure how this would pan out if she was the person to clean my teeth. Her comment about the dentist's recommendation was a little off-putting to me and it raised a red flag in my mind because I did read someone's review that they believed they were overcharged or felt that they were being duped into coming out of pocket unnecessarily for something they believed was intentional to generate more revenue in addition to the insurance claim. In the past, I have always had my cleaning first then the dentist would come in and check the work. I have to mention that I am ashamed to admit that it had been a long while since I have had my teeth professionally cleaned, but I have always had great teeth with never any cavities so I was not too worried, but my suspicion was charged and by the time the dentist came in to meet with me I was already on high alert. Dr. Johnson seemed nice enough. He explained to me my potential condition with a great detailed analogy, so I felt a little better and more trusting of what he told me. I felt a little ridiculous because I had garnered a cold attitude towards him due to those negative reviews in the back of my mind, but I remained cautiously optimistic. I soon discovered that a very kind person whose name that I cannot remember, but it started with an "L" I think would be the person who cleaned my teeth. This was a welcomed surprise because her energy is positive, upbeat, and she is more personable than the initial ex-ray lady. The dental hygienist knows how to engage people and is more interested in getting to know people which makes a patient feel better and welcome. The spaces where you are sitting in the chair has no closed door spaces. It is open and they seem to have the latest technology available as well. My dental hygienist had a lot of work to do, but she did it well and she also explained and talked about what she was experiencing inside my mouth. I appreciated her willingness to share her yard work and the community competition with me which made me take my mind off of the procedure and minimize the anxiety. Afterwards, I was given my little goodie bag and was on my way. I will be back in six months under this time will give me more of a rounded perspective of this practice. For now, I will give them 4.5 stars, but if anything changes that made it either outstanding or miserable, I will let you know.

Long HAPPY customer review. Skip to the end for the TL;DR…read more I unknowingly had a filling come out and another cavity developing after a regular cleaning. I was told I'd need the cavity drilled out and a crown put on as the tooth would be too far gone to repair. This particular dentist was out of network, so I'd need to go in-network for the work. I went to a local big box dental office where I was treated like both a number and a dollar sign. They confirmed that I'd need a crown in addition to several other upcharges. I didn't like anything about that office or dentist, so was determined to find a small independent dentist. I went to my dental insurance website and looked for any independent dentist within 25 miles of my home. It seems the only dentists in-network are big corporate offices with multiple dentists and bad reviews. I finally stumbled upon Dr. Mantique Johnson. The reviews were confusing because multiple dentists were mentioned at this address. The newer reviews were great, but some of the older ones were not so good. When I went to their website, there was only one dentist listed. I called to see if he was indeed the only dentist there and it was confirmed, so I decided to give him a try. I called to schedule an appointment assuming it would be several weeks out, but they said they could see me that very same day. I was greeted by the friendly receptionist and almost immediately called back. X-rays were taken and Dr. Johnson came right in. He asked me why I was there, I told him that I was told by 2 dentists that I needed a crown, he took a look, and immediately said he could drill out the cavity and fill the tooth without needing a crown. WHAT?! I didn't think this was even a possibility! He asked if I wanted to proceed, I confirmed, and then I was given the out-of-pocket amount after insurance. I approved and he immediately got to work. I was given numbing gel and even asked what I'd like to watch on TV. He came back a few minutes later, gave me my numbing injections (I barely felt them), and started drilling. He drilled out the cavity, filled it with porcelain, and worked on it until my bite was perfect. I was in and out in no time and was never once nervous or uncomfortable. Dr. Johnson has such a calm demeanor and was always letting me know what was happening and allowed for breaks if so desired. When it was time to pay the bill, it was only a tiny portion of what I was expecting. I truly couldn't be happier. Now that I was so happy Dr. Johnson and his office, I decided I wanted to become a permanent customer. I went in and was greeted by hygienist Lene. She was so friendly, informative, warm, and funny. She took all the necessary x-rays as well as my gum measurements. I told Lene that my previous cleaning was only 3 months ago, she said I didn't need one yet, but would be happy to do a cleaning. We decided to wait 2 more months just to be safe. You have to love the honesty of everyone at this office. As Lene said, she treats everyone as she likes to be treated and held true to that. One sidenote; the reviews online are for the physical Marietta Dental Center building regardless of who used to work there. Keep this in mind as Dr. Johnson has only been there since December 2022. Any reviews prior to that are not for him or his staff. Pay attention to the dates of the reviews. I've never been happier with a dentist and dental office than this one. TL; DR: Dr. Johnson is the best dentist I've ever encountered in all my years. He's passionate about what he's doing and isn't looking to upsell you. He and his entire staff are top notch. Make the switch; you won't be disappointed!

The staff are friendly and they are also the reason my insurance covers most of my treatment. They informed me my provider had better plans than what I had originally. My hygienist Rebecca was amazing. She was very thorough and explained everything so well. My treatment plan and how it affects me and my health. When I get treatment they offer me a list of items I can have such as a blanket, water, the remote to the tv and several other items. They provide me with glasses for my treatment and a hot towel to clean my face. I definitely don't mind visiting the office when I typically go running.

The level of incompetence experienced from this office is like nothing I have ever experienced…read moreanywhere before, regardless of industry. Either they just don't care or the left hand has absolutely no idea what the right is doing. Everything looks great and I suppose is intended to be impressive with all the latest tech etc. but when a customer experiences as many issues, mishaps, lack of communication, etc. as I have, then none of that matters. I would encourage the office to focus on the level of service provided to your customers and a little less on having all the latest gizmos. Anyone that believes any of that matters while delivering the poorest customer experience ever (what a title to inherit) is sadly mistaken. I literally picked the office due to the glowing reviews but I would advise anyone who likes to avoid hassle and headache to absolutely stay away. Involving the office manager has not seemed to have made the least bit of difference either. I cannot wait for my treatment to be done (IF that EVER happens) so I can find somewhere else in a hurry. The ONLY thing they have done well is to accept payment and it was all downhill after that.
