Cumming Dental Associates Review

Great office. Friendly staff and great dentist. Always a good experience. Love the hygiene team also. My teeth always feel great when I leave.

They do a great job, and treat the customer in a pleasant manner.

Love Dr. Esker and Joann my hygienist! My teeth are happy and healthy thanks to them!

Very relaxed environment...very courteous staff. Had a great experience. Will be sending new patients their way!

Dr.Yavari and his entire staff made our two kids experience in braces nothing but positive!! Dr. Yavari has an infectious smile and happy energy! All his assistants are very skilled and knowledgeable. And every time teeth moved and one of my kids needed a quick adjustment, they were seen in a very timely manner. Today the braces came off and their teeth look gorgeous! Our third child will be starting soon and I ll look forward to going back to Dr. Yavari!!

Staff is punctual, courteous & made my visit as comfortable as possible.

Excellent care. Professional treatment. And on-time... at a doctor s office!!!

I cannot recommend Cumming Dental Associates enough. It s so important to feel confident about your smile, and they exceeded my expectations by doing the Invisalign treatment on me. All their offices are beautiful and the staff is so kind and helpful. I loved my experience here and you will too!

Excellent practice, zero wait time, ease of appointment scheduling and online paperwork completion, wonderful hygienist who gave me several suggestions I have never been told before to do for my cold sensitive teeth. SO GLAD I fired my old dentist!

Words cannot express the gratitude that I have towards Cumming Dental Associates. I have gone there for close to 20 years and will continue to do so even though we no longer live in the Cumming area. The genuine care they have for their patients is rarely seen these days. Melissa is the finest dental hygienist I ve ever seen. And Dr. Esker and her dental assistants make an incredible team. She has saved my smile so many times...a gifted doctor who has true empathy and care for the wellbeing of her patients. And kudos too to Claudia...she is exceptionally knowledgeable and competent at coordinating appointments and payments. Having said all this, i very highly recommend this dental office. All in all just a great team of professionals.

All of the employees that I have interacted with have been extremely polite and professional. They are always smiling and their dental service is magnificent. The only problem is, they are so good that they are typically packed and it can take up to 30 minutes after your appointment to get in sometimes.

Very bad experience!

I cracked one of my tooth while chewing and knew am gonna have to get it pulled out. I was in pain, so I call for an appointment for extraction and for some reason the lady gets me a limited evaluation appointment (didnt even knew if that is a thing). On the day of appointment 11/06(Friday) I am sitting in the chair in pain and the doctor tells me we cannot pull out the tooth because they have me down as an evaluation only appointment. And then they gave me a treatment plan(dental implant) for which my out of pocket would be $3763. I was in pain and just wanted to get the tooth extracted ASAP, and the funny thing is i could get an 11/09(Monday) appointment only if I choose to do the implant(spend money) otherwise the next available date for extraction is 11/30.

The doc could see the tooth is cracked and needs to be pulled out but they still did x-rays (to bill my insurance) for the so called evaluation, asked me to take anti-biotics and sent me home in pain.

As i was walking out in pain, i was thinking, the time they took to explain the treatment plan - they could have done the extraction already. Never going back there again. Thanks but no thanks!

This Dental practice is PHENOMENAL. I worked with Doctors in another industry for 30+ years. I believe I know Dr's attitudes etc. Dr Esker is the best of the best, Period.

Cumming Dental is fantastic

I went for wisdom tooth extraction and Dr. short was excellent. Very friendly, caring and expert.
I didn t feel any pain at all.
Thank you.

Dr. Brown was extremely informative and answered all of my questions. His staff was kind and very attentive. Couldn t ask for a better experience (Who likes to go to the dentist anyway?).

We have been going here for 2 years and love it. Friendly staff and they have always put me first in my care!

We have gone here for about 10 years. For the most part we have been satisfied. A couple of years ago, my teenager needed a filling. The topical anesthesia wasn't put in the proper place so the shot hurt tremendously. She was terrified when she needed another filling this year. We opted to pay the extra $50 to have nitrous oxide. The assistant fitted the mask on her face and said she only had oxygen going in. The dentist numbed the area which luckily was in the correct place but gave the shot BEFORE turning on the nitrous oxide!!!!!! It was still very painful. When I said something, she just said there was no way around the shot?? I wasted $50. My daughter will never trust them again.

Very friendly Dentist and funny hygienist. Enjoyed my first visit to this office and learned some new tips about healthy dental habits.

I have been coming her since 2006 and I have many friends coming here also very clean and very good dental work

AWESOME Haha showed up today but appt. Was tomorrow. They were busy but fit me in. Everyone was pleasant and made a stressful appt. Great thank you. And thank you for getting my son in also. But his appointment was today!! :)

Our whole family goes here and we all get great service from them. Everyone is very friendly.

Love Dr. Short and Jessica...have been a client for over 15 years.

I am so thankful for Dr. Basu! I was in excruciating pain and fever from an infected wisdom tooth and was unable to sleep at night or eat. I called to schedule an appointment and her team was able to see me right away. Her compassion and knowledge of my situation made such a positive impression on me and helped me feel at ease, and I thank her entire team for taking such great care of me. She also made a wonderful impression on my 9 year old son, and I will definitely be scheduling both my husband and my son for appointments with Dr. Basu. Thank you Cumming Dental Associates!

Been coming to Cumming Dental for so long that I only know the kids were little... always a good experience and professionally done. Thank you!

Stacy, who assisted Dr Kramer, did an exceptional job. She did a lot of the prep and finishing work. During the entire process she clearly explained what was being done and why. All of this put me at ease and made me comfortable that the work was being done correctly.

Dr Kramer is a GREAT Dentist, she embodies everything you want in a dentist, intelligent, compassionate, and takes all the time you need to understand your treatment. Also Melissa is my dental hygienist and is the best one I have ever had. All in all five stars plus

Been going to Cumming Dental for several years. Great staff and for me Dr. Short is the Best. Their knowledge and care are top notch.

Dr. Esker is fantastic, their staff is exceedingly friendly and accommodating.

Dr. Kramer and Hannah were VERY thorough and talked me through the whole process! I wasn t anxious at all. I have never had a dentist/hygienist that was so sweet and friendly as them. I m actually excited to see them again for my fillings! Hannah I m bringing you a cat themed gift next time!!! Love, your crazy cat lady patient

My husband and I have been going here for about 2 years; after trying several other dental practices in the area We have landed on the best one! I see Dr. Esker and love her. I've had to have aa few different hygienists due to some scheduling problems on my end; and I really like all of them. You just can't go wrong using CDA as your dentists.

I've been going to Dr. Short for a long time. He and his staff is great in taking care of their patients. The whole operation is geared towards the patient and it's well-being. My whole family goes there and we'll continue to do so...

The service is good but in my estimation over priced. They took me in 15 minutes after my scheduled appointment, spent 15 minutes cleaning my teeth, then charged me $115. I never saw a dentist and had no x-rays. That price averages out to $460/hour. What do you think?

Very friendly, painless teeth cleaning today. They are using all the CDC precautions. Highly recommend them.

We have been going to Cumming Dental for over 9 years. Excellent location, very short wait times if you have an appointment, friendly dentists and assistants and a clean, attractive facility.

Dr. Kramer is the best dentist I ve ever had! I m a new patient and had first experience yesterday (6/18/2018), had to have a crown. Not once did I feel any pain and today, no soreness, no tenderness! Like I never had any work done! Dr. Kramer has won me over for life.

I have used this Dentistry for over 3 years. They are consistently good even as they have grown. Attention to detail and a "Do it Right First Time" attitude is refreshingly welcome.

The staff is exceptional and Dr Short has been our favorite for 20 years. Very happy with the practice.

This is by far the best dentist I have ever been to! The staff, hygienist and all the doctors are professional, personable and truly want what is best for their patients. I was also treated by Dr. Javari with Invisalign and I've never been happier with my teeth! They will tell you when something cosmetic isn't worth the money proving they want what is best, not your money. Love everyone at this practice and highly recommend you give them a try! :)

Always a pleasant experience with Dr. Esker and staff!

Emily is my hygienist and is wonderful. So gentle, friendly. Dr Esker is truly the best dentist I have ever been to. I would never change. The whole office is great to work with. They truly care about each patient. They don't push for additional procedures, If something needs urgent attention, they let you know. If something can wait for a bit, they let you know that as well. I would recommend this practice to all friends and family. Just visited the office this week. (2/5/19) Still the best ever. Wouldn't change for anything.My latest appointment, the same. Everything is always wonderful. Wouldn't consider changing.

Just had a tooth pulled today and I can t express how Grateful I am for the staff here they made the whole process smooth and worry free

I saw Dr.brown and Felicia today and they went above and beyond to make me as comfortable as I could be, which is saying a lot for having to have a tooth pulled

So to make it short and sweet thank you Dr brown and Felicia I feel so much better now

Very friendly staff, clean offices, and they re good about getting you in on short notice for emergencies.

Significant decline in the practice's professionalism and patient care over the past 3 years. Once a very good dental practice, as we have been patients for 2 decades. Other than the good hygienists, there is no longer any sign whatsoever across multiple layers of the practice that they value the care and treatment of their patient families. Moving my family on to a better situation for us.

Dr.Esker is THE BEST DOCTOR IN TOWN! She s such an amazing person and doesn t do work that doesn t need to be done. Very gentle never hurts you.

She in an outstanding human and I m so lucky to have been seeing her now for 14ish years!!!

Oh and that new office over in Vickery is PHENOMENAL!!!!

Dr. BROWN AND JOANNE did a great job. It was my first appointment after relocating to the Cumming area. I was very comfortable and everybody was efficient and nice.

Nice-looking, clean office space. I was seen promptly at my appointment time and was very satisfied with my experience.

My family goes here to have their dental needs taken care of. We never have to wait more that 15 minutes to be seen. All of the staff is friendly and caring. I feel refreshed with their care. My teeth look great after the cleaning !

Bill is a great dental hygienist! I've been going to CDA for years and Bill's been 'my guy' for the last four of five years and he always makes me feel comfortable and takes care of my teeth. For my cleaning, I'm in and out in about 45 minutes.

Good job, Dr. Short. Thanks for fixing my teeth. You're great. from,
Mary Valley

Love this place, love the people. First time in my life I look forward to going to dentis

We have been going to Cumming Dental for 8 years and they always exceed our expectations. Even though the practice is extremely busy, they are efficient and we never experience any extended wait times. Everyone is so professional, genuine and patient - we feel lucky to have them!

Love Dr. Short and have been a client for over 15 years.

After an excellent cleaning at the Vickery location, I met with Dr. Kramer. She was kind, thorough, and incredibly knowledgeable. She did not rush and was eager to have a conversation with me. I am highly impressed with her ability to demonstrate both a personal and professional manner!

My husband and I have been patients of Cumming Dental for over 5 years and would not trust anyone else with the cleaning and care of our teeth. Karen, hygienist, is fantastic. She is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Can't say enough good stuff about Dr. Esker! She has an excellent "bedside" manner and is the best dentist I've ever had. This practice does not up-sell you on services you don't need and they do a wonderful job providing services you do need. Never had a bad experience --- and I recommend Cumming Dental to my family and friends.

8:00am appt (1st appt of the day), but not taken back until 8:15, while I sit in the waiting room listening to the staff talk and gather at the reception area about their personal lives. Very frustrating. Dr. Upshaw was fantastic, as well as Ashley, they deserve 5 stars.

I want to let the world know that this is the best dental office ever. Take it from a person who has always been terrorized about going to the dentist. Just 3 months ago I thought I was going to lose all of my teeth and need dentures and I went to multiple appts and got a deep root cleaning and was given advise on how to save my teeth. I followed all the advise given and went back yesterday and there has been amazing improvement and my teeth that were loose are tightening back up, unbelievable. I am so happy with the results and thankful to Dr. Esker and her fabulous team. This dentist office is so professional and there is seldom any wait time and I never thought I would say this but I am actually excited about going to the dentist, no more fears and a happy smile. May God bless this dental office and all who work there.

I first visited the Vickery Clinic last year and was very much impressed with the dentist ,Dr Kramer whose name was given to me by another dentist who had used her services before.I have had a lot of dental work over the past 65 years and knew she was an exceptional dentist after speaking with her .I hated to leave the clinic due to a move to another county,however I had not found a comparable dentist in my facinity and returned to Dr Kramer. I am not sorry for going back to her and her terrific staff ,even if the drive can be 1hr to 1 1/2 hrs. She is smart ,experienced and has terrific people skills. I love that she walks you through each procedure and relays treatment plans so that the patient can make informed decisions. The staff is also delightful and helpful.

I have been a patient with Cumming Dental for years and highly recommend Joann my hygienist and Dr. Short. Always very pleasant and thorough.

This place is not a total disaster, it seems, but somehow we did not have a good experience. This was the first stop on our list of finding a dentist (we just relocated to the area). They were not really nice right off the bat and treated us like we were kids. The front desk staff was unprofessional and, we felt, dismissive; acted like they were annoyed to explain us procedures. For example we had to be referred to a specialist that they recommended that had a convoluted location somewhere around the corner or rather hill from them. When asked for directions they asked me to google it up. They also break up the initial visit into two screening visits. That's just for the regular 6 months cleaning. At the end it was just too much hassle and unpleasant feeling, so we opted for another dentistry down the road.
