Bleeding Gums: Emergency or Not? Here’s How to Tell 

Seeing blood while brushing or flossing is easy to overlook at first, especially when there is little discomfort involved. What begins as occasional spotting in the sink may gradually become more frequent, sometimes alongside swelling, tenderness, or sensitivity near the gums. Because these changes often develop slowly, it can be difficult to tell whether the cause is mild irritation or... read more »

What Our Patients Are Saying

Forget walking around with a subpar repair for two weeks. Athens Dental Design got the job done in two hours!

Glenn Spear

Dr. Maley did a wonderful job, alongside his assistant, Josey. They made the experience quick and pain-free.

Betsy Jones

Comforting to know you have a competent, caring dental team. One less stressor! Kathy and Ami are always great over many visits, and recent dental work by Dr. Daniel (first time) gave me total confidence - informed, professional and gentle. Technology is impressive - pictures of everything shared freely right on the screen. Front office is fully on top of everything, and text and email reminders are spot on. Son sees Robin and Dr. Lacour, and he is completely comfortable (even after dental work) - a first ever for him re dental practices. Thank you!

Love the staff. Highly recommend! I was nervous about a procedure and they made it a breeze!!

Sharon M.

Been putting off a section of my mouth, but Dr LaCour is a master- fantastic craftsman and saving my tooth from a root canal and Amy (she is the G.O.A.T.) with my crown, perfect fit. Misty is the best and made all this go perfect.

Jay L.

Have been coming here for years. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, especially the ladies at the front desk. Cannot imagine going anywhere else for Dental Care. Great office and staff!!!

Melissa H.

Very friendly staff and I was seen promptly upon arrival. My cleaning went very smoothly and overall I am very happy with the office.

Rebecca P.

The entire crown procedure took about 2 hours with several 15-20 minute breaks in between. Everyone was friendly. The atmosphere is very inviting and the general atmosphere is positive.

I’ve been a patient at this practice for many, many years. What I’ve found is that all the team here, from front desk, dental assistants, hygienists, to dentists, is top notch! They provide excellent care, and are reasonable and practical. It speaks volumes that the many of the same staff have served here for years as well. I’ve referred so many friends and family, because I know Athens Dental Design will be great for them, too. Today I had a tooth that required a crown, and they were able to do the procedure from start to finish in just a few short hours. I’m very pleased with the results!

I've been a patient at Athens Dental Design for 10+ years and they have always been great to work with. When my younger child was small, he had a phobia of doctors/dentists and the hygienist (Kathy!) was so patient with him and moved at his pace until he was completely comfortable. We miss Dr. Burch, but the new dentists they've brought in are really great. I recommend this office all the time to those who are looking for a new dentist.

Leandra Nessel

I have been a patient at this dental practice for over 40 years and my dentist recently retired. I was hesitant and worried about going back, but Dr. Daniel was amazing! Very caring, listening was awesome, she was very gentle and my procedure over quickly and painlessly as possible. By the way, she is very good with giving the Novacaine to get it started. I would highly recommend them to FRIENDS & FAMILY.

Kimberly Matthews

Like a lot of people, for years I dreaded going to the dentist, until I was referred by a friend to this practice. My husband and I have been pleased for years for the down-to-earth personal attention and care. As ever, Kathy, my hygienist of over 15 years, is amazing (no pain!). State of the art equipment available, such as for on-site, one-visit for a crown. I can't pick a favorite among the dentists -- all superlative. Entire staff is personable and efficient.
