DentFirst Dental Care

DentFirst Dental Care is a well-established and highly regarded dental practice with a strong presence in the Greater Atlanta area, having proudly served over 80,000 Georgia families for more than 40 years. Founded in 1979 as Family Dental Health Centers and rebranded as DentFirst in 1982 by Dr. Richard Musicer, the practice has grown to encompass 15 convenient locations, including the one in Cumming, GA, at 1175 Buford Rd. The core mission of DentFirst Dental Care is to provide excellent, accessible, and affordable patient care, prioritizing the needs and comfort of their patients ("Patients are FIRST at DentFirst!"). They achieve this through a comprehensive approach to dentistry, offering a wide array of services under one roof. This multi-specialty model includes general dentistry, as well as specialized care in Orthodontics (braces, clear aligners), Periodontics (gum health), Prosthodontics (dental prosthetics like crowns and bridges), Endodontics (root canal therapy), and Oral Surgery (extractions, dental implants). Cosmetic dentistry, including services like teeth whitening and Botox/fillers, is also available to help patients achieve their desired smiles. DentFirst understands the demands of modern life and strives to make dental care as convenient as possible. They offer extended office hours, with most locations open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Furthermore, they provide immediate and after-hours emergency care, ensuring that patients can receive urgent treatment when needed most. Walk-ins are also welcome for emergencies. To address the diverse financial situations of their patients, DentFirst Dental Care accepts a wide range of major PPO insurance plans and offers pre-authorization to confirm coverage. For individuals without dental insurance, they provide affordable membership programs called DentFirst Prime and DentFirst Prime Plus. These plans include benefits such as annual cleanings, exams, X-rays, oral cancer screenings, and significant discounts on additional dental treatments, with Prime Plus also offering a discount on orthodontic care. The practice prides itself on its team of experienced general dentists and board-certified specialists who collaborate to create comprehensive and personalized treatment plans. This integrated approach ensures seamless communication between providers and minimizes the need for patients to visit multiple offices for different aspects of their dental care. DentFirst's commitment to patient education is also evident, with a focus on transparent communication and keeping patients informed about their treatment options and progress. They offer complimentary second opinions, highlighting their dedication to patient trust and satisfaction.
