DentFirst Dental Care

DentFirst Dental Care is a prominent and long-standing dental group based in the Greater Atlanta area, with a rich history spanning over four decades. Established in 1982 by Dr. Richard Musicer, the practice evolved from his initial ventures, Family Dental Health Centers, founded in 1979. This long tenure has allowed DentFirst to serve over 80,000 Georgia families, cementing its reputation as a trusted provider of comprehensive dental services. The core mission of DentFirst Dental Care revolves around making dental care easily accessible, affordable, and dependable for metro-area residents. They emphasize a patient-first approach, striving to deliver excellent patient care from check-in to check-out. This commitment is reflected in their operational model, which includes extended office hours (Monday-Thursday 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m., Friday 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., and Saturday 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.) and readily available after-hours emergency care to accommodate diverse schedules and urgent needs. DentFirst is a multi-specialty practice, meaning they offer a wide array of dental services under one roof, eliminating the need for patients to visit multiple providers for different treatments. Their services encompass: General Dentistry: Routine check-ups, cleanings, fillings, and preventive care. Orthodontics: Braces, clear aligners (like Invisalign), and other treatments for teeth straightening and bite correction. Periodontics: Specialized care for gum disease, including deep cleanings and surgical interventions. Prosthodontics: Restorative dentistry, including dental crowns, bridges, and dentures. Oral Surgery: Procedures such as tooth extractions and other surgical interventions. Endodontics: Root canal therapy. Cosmetic Dentistry: Teeth whitening, veneers, and other aesthetic enhancements. Dental Implants: Permanent solutions for missing teeth. Emergency Dental Care: Immediate assistance for urgent dental issues. To ensure affordability, DentFirst Dental Care is a preferred provider with numerous dental insurance plans and works with hundreds of other plans from various employers. Recognizing that not everyone has dental insurance, they also offer the "DentFirst Prime" and "Prime Plus" membership programs. These programs provide uninsured individuals with discounted access to a wide range of services, including cleanings, exams, X-rays, and discounts on other treatments, including orthodontics with the Prime Plus plan. With 15 convenient locations spread across the Greater Atlanta area, including Norcross, Alpharetta, Buford, Cumming, Dunwoody, Johns Creek, Kennesaw, Lenox, Lithonia, and Smyrna, DentFirst aims to be readily accessible to a large population. Their offices are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including 3D X-rays (cone beam computed tomography) and CAD/CAM systems like CEREC for same-day crowns, ensuring efficient and high-quality treatment. The emphasis on patient comfort is also evident through options like conscious sedation with Nitrous Oxide and computerized digital anesthesia to minimize pain and anxiety.
