The staff was the most friendly staff I’ve ever experienced from past dental offices. Dr. Richardson procedures were painless, quick, and efficient. The dental assistant Sam was very reassuring, kind, and overall very good at her job!

Being in nursing school & working a part-time job, it’s very hard to find time to fit in dentist visits. The ladies at the front, Maritza & Heather make it super easy to schedule a time that works best for me. I had a cleaning with Brenda and she was absolutely amazing! She showed me my problem areas and explained what I can do to improve them. The cleaning was fast and effective making it so worthwhile! Everyone at the office is incredibly nice and I will definitely be coming back!

I just had to share how AMAZING this place is!!!!! My husband and daughter have been going here for years and I’ve always loved the Drs. and office staff there when I would take my daughter in. I was just a huge chicken when it comes to going to the dentist myself. I eventually had to get a cavity filled today and my experience could not have gone any better. Everyone there is so friendly, Christy was amazing and so personable. She put me right at ease immediately. Dr Richardson was so sweet and gentle I literally could have gone to sleep while he was filling my tooth. He explained everything that was about to happen before it happened so nothing was a surprise and it didn’t hurt AT ALL!! I cannot recommend this place any more highly. Their prices are so reasonable and they never try to push you to spend more than you need to. They have my complete trust. They are a God send and I’m so glad I finally experienced what my family has been telling me all this time. I am no longer afraid to go to the dentist. Which is huge for me. Thank you to all of you at Lake Lanier Smiles. It’s such a blessing to have found this office.

Ive been a patient of Lake Lanier Smiles for many years now and have never had a bad experience. Ive referred many family members and friends who have all become regular patients as well. This morning Brenda was my hygienist. She was very gentle and caring that I had a recent neck injury and continued to ensure that I was comfortable. She explained what she was doing throughout the procedure and offered advice where needed. Dr. Richardson is always polite and takes time to answer questions. This is team is not like other facilities that try to push you toward unnecessary treatment. The facility is clean and inviting. I have and will continue to highly recommend Lake Lanier Smiles to anyone and everyone!

As soon as I walked in the establishment I was greeted with warm welcome from the front desk receptionists. Both reps was very very nice and had great friendly welcoming. The environment was clean, and my visit was quick and easy. I did not have to wait long at all. The customer service was amazing. I would definitely recommend this place. Brenda was so informative, caring and gentle. She explained what she was doing and why she was doing it. I’ve had bad experiences with other dentist office and this was a breath of fresh air. So happy I found this place.

Review β„–19

I have been in horrible mouth pain since 5 am this morning. Google this Dentist office for emergency help with my pain. After the Dentist Micheal Richardson irritated my mouth even more and charging me $50. He sent me home with a prescription of Antibiotics which I know will help. But for the pain over the counter Tylenol and told me it was prescription grade. Two other employees agreed with his lie. Now I need to go to the emergency room to get real help to relieve my pain so I can sleep. This dentist office is not helpful in emergency pain management. I hate I drove 30 minutes away from my home to experience below standard treatment.

I started going to Lake Lanier Smiles this year. With the pandemic and honestly just life in general, it had been awhile since I had been to the dentist. My gums were inflamed, and they had to do some work to get my teeth healthy again. Since then, Ive done the Zoom Whitening and Im absolutely loving my smile again. Thank for taking care of my teeth Lake Lanier Smiles!

I moved and was new to the area. I was nervous going to a new Dentist. However, they were very friendly and made me feel at home. I loved the atmosphere. They made me feel like family. The doctor and the assistants all answered my question. If you are new to the area or just in need of a new Dentist this is the place to go! They did great with my cleaning and my fillings.

Review β„–47

My prior dentist dismissed my pain as an ear problem (I needed a root canal). I got a root canal at the endodontist but needed to see a new dentist for the permanent filling. To make matters more stressful I just accepted a new job and was going to lose my dental insurance for 3 months (the waiting period for benefits at the new job). They were able to fit me in the same day to do the permanent filling before my insurance ran out. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was because I had over an hour wait after my appointment time but I cant complain since they took good care of what I needed and did it within the insurance deadline I needed. Thank you!!!!

Review β„–57

At then end of last month I had my first dental cleaning done at Lake Lanier Smiles. I was greeted with the warmest welcome to the practice and got to work with one of the nicest assistants for the first part of my appointment. Gabee took my X-Rays, made sure I was comfortable, listened to my concerns and educated me on different dental terminology and the flow of the appointment. Donna, the hygienist, did an amazing job cleaning my teeth and also educated me on what perio charting numbers mean and the health of my gums. Dr. Richardson did a thorough exam of my teeth and was informative as far as my options for treatment I may need in the future. My dentist of 15 years retired last year and while that is unfortunate, I know that I have found a practice that cares about my oral health, educates during appointments and takes their time with me so I feel important. Thank you all for a great first appointment and transition into a new dental practice!

I came to Lake Lanier Smiles for the first time today and the assistants I worked with are so sweet. Gabee and Sam made sure I was comfortable during my appointment. I came to this office because I heard that they offered in office whitening and let me tell you...it is a fast, simple and rewarding process! I can’t wait to see how my smile develops into an even brighter and whiter Smile. Thank you Gabee and Sam for all of your help and kindness during my visit!

Review β„–69

I have been a patient at Lake Lanier Smiles for approximately 2 years and everyone is so nice and kind to me. They make it much less stressful than it used to be for me to go to the dentist. The only reason I didn’t rate 5 stars is because the front desk check out lady doesn’t seem very well trained and couldn’t answer questions clearly for me regarding cost. And I am on a strict budget and need to be aware of what my costs are before scheduling a procedure. She couldn’t really help me with exact pricing regarding an implant.

Lake Lanier Smiles is an excellent dentist! I went in to get some teeth pulled and expected pain and tugging, but Michael Richardson was kind and took his time. He explained everything he was doing while working and discussed a treatment plan at length before working. He gave me several options for the treatment plan explained the pro and cons and did not pressure me to get the most expensive procedures. Lake Lanier Smiles is the best dentist I have been too!

Review β„–82

I visited LLS for the first time a few days ago with the assumption that I would need 2 root canals based on previous dental observation. Dr. G did a very thorough examination on my teeth to make sure the diagnosis was 100% precise. It resulted in me only needing 1 root canal and 1 filling.. cutting my cost in half. He was very professional and personable. His assistant, Gabee, was an absolute delight. She was so funny and did a great job at bringing positivity to what most would find to be a nightmare. Overall, the whole team at LLS are wonderful and very professional. I couldn’t be happier to be one of their customers. 10/10 recommend this dentistry to anyone who is looking for a place they can trust!

Broke my bottom right wisdom tooth. Lucky 32 wooo. Well I am u insured so everything I have done including emergency oral surgery comes out of pocket. Of course that leaves me going with the cheapest options. Im ridiculously low income. Couple shots in my jaw an they proceeded to butcher my face. Leaving my jawbone exposed. Its been a entire week an its slowly healing. About as painful as the broken tooth with exposed nerve. Gaping hole in my cheek an jaw with bone exposed... wont use them again.
