Detailed Introduction

Kool Smiles is a brand name for a network of dental clinics that have been operating across the United States. Founded in East Lake, Atlanta, in 2002, the company was established with a mission to expand access to quality dental care, particularly for children and families in underserved communities. A key aspect of their business model is the acceptance of various insurance plans, including Medicaid, TRICARE, CHIP, and most major commercial insurance providers, making dental services more accessible for a wider range of patients. They also offer payment options for uninsured or underinsured families. The clinics are designed to be child-friendly, with brightly colored waiting rooms and play areas to help children feel more comfortable and at ease during their visits. The staff and dentists are trained to work with patients of all ages, from infants to adults, with a special focus on Pediatric dentistry. Services offered at Kool Smiles partner clinics are comprehensive and include general dentistry, children's dentistry, orthodontics, endodontics, and oral surgery. It's important to note that the company has faced significant legal and public scrutiny in the past. In 2018, the Department of Justice announced a settlement in which Kool Smiles, along with its management company Benevis, paid $23.9 million to resolve allegations of submitting false claims to state Medicaid programs for medically unnecessary dental procedures on children. Following this, many Kool Smiles clinics were rebranded under different names. Despite this history, the brand has continued to promote its commitment to providing quality dental care and its focus on community outreach, including an annual "Sharing Smiles Day" where free care is offered to uninsured children.

The staff at Kool Smiles Dental are very professional and have a genuine care for the patient. Dr. Kalantarov has a personality of being a friend who wants to do the best for you and does not treat you as an individual who simply needs to get in and get out. He will take the time to inform you of what the situation is and what options, if any, are available to make an informed decision.

I highly recommend Dr. Kalantarov to anyone who needs a first rate dentist.

The dentist here is without comparison to any dentist I have ever been to. the office personnel is a unique blend of efficiency personality and caring. The dentist skills are impeccable and put you at ease in the chair. I have no complaints whatsoever about the dentist and his staff.

I was blown away on how kind and professional the staff was. I also over heard the staff on the line with an irate customer who was who was yelling at her was being obnoxious however she kept her cool and was very professional about it & to see that person left a bad review is mind boggling. Now, Although this location is far from where I live, this will now become my permanent dentist.

I'm highly satisfied with the services I received today. Thank you guys and look forward to seeing you soon 😊

This is an excellent dentist office. First off, let me say that the convenience from my apartment makes this place especially good. It is convenient and even has Sunday hours, which I think is awesome! They are very fair in terms of pricing and never try to over charge you or preform things just in order to make you pay them more.

Their office is extremely clean and dentist knows what he's doing. I have no complaints about this place.
