Negative experience: I've been with this office since 2023, and honestly, I've been really patient with their constant rotating staff even before they changed their name. But how they handled my recent situation is just ridiculous. I started an Invisalign program through them, which was a huge mistake. It cost me almost $3,000 out of pocket. They sent all my paperwork to a third-party vendor and never followed up with me. The first 10 trays I got (out of 26) weren't even molded properly. I was supposed to get an updated batch, but because of their constant rotating door of employees, they completely dropped the ball. Then came my cleaning appointment. As we all know, the economy isn't great right now and people are getting laid off left and right. Well, the literal morning of my appointment, my company's CEO and executive leadership team suddenly resigned. It caused an absolute uproar and my day immediately got slammed with back-to-back all-hands meetings. My job was on the line. This was completely out of my hands. I texted the office first thing in the morning to explain what was happening. Instead of any understanding, the only thing the receptionist cared about was a $50 same-day cancellation fee. I tried to explain how unorthodox and stressful the situation was, but she straight up refused to work with me and just kept repeating that they wouldn't see me until I paid the fee. I refused to pay it. This wasn't something I caused, and just like numerous companies, they dropped the news on us the day of with no time to prepare. I told the receptionist that was fine—I moved anyway and traveling from Midtown to Lawrenceville was already a stretch, so this was just the perfect opportunity to switch dentists. I just asked her to give me my remaining 16 Invisalign trays that I had ALREADY paid for. She literally told me I would not receive my items until I paid their $50 cancellation fee. They care more about squeezing a $50 fee out of you for a work emergency than giving you the thousands of dollars of product you already bought. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this place. This post is to provide awareness to interested parties and to request my trays I have already been paid for.

Fantastic experience: Great dentist. They take care of you And are super friendly
Positive experience: From the start of the experience I was welcomed with open arms, offered refreshments, and made sure I was comfortable the whole way through. The dentist was so quick I didn’t know it was complete; guess I was THAT comfortable! The only thing I do not like is I was not prescribed pain medication after my procedure. That caught me off guard however, the entire staff is kind. Thank you Southern Smiles for the experience!
Fantastic experience: This was my first visit and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was only there for a teeth cleaning, but I got a complete eval. After it was all said and done, a good teeth cleaning was all I needed, and it was quite thorough. Everyone was very friendly throughout the process. They even have free coffee and bottled water if you have to wait. This will be my dentist of choice going forward.
Fantastic experience: Great location, great communication with me and let me everything without sugarcoated which can be scary but it’s better Was a long journey with my health for me to get what I needed done but they were there the whole time. Will be coming back again for cleaning and anything else I need done My front filling la look great, dentist did a great job now just self conscious about it breaking but I’m sure it’ll be okay

They took good care of me, answered all my questions and worked with my insurance seamlessly. I was able to schedule the services I needed seamlessly and without hassle. I would recommend Southern Smiles Lawrenceville for your dental needs.
Fantastic experience: The team at Southern Smiles was absolutely wonderful! Everyone was professional, courteous, and very understanding from start to finish. My daughter said her visit with Young and Dr. Aggarwal was very easy and comfortable. They took the time to make sure she felt at ease, which means a lot as a parent.

Fantastic experience: Our first time here and my little one was very nervous but the staff was extremely friendly! They both said they had no pain during their cleaning and they both were very excited about their experience... I think this might be our new spot, very satisfied and how they took care of my girls.
Fantastic experience: I love my experience here, everyone is really nice and they take really good care of you
Fantastic experience: Everything was great. The dentist was informative and was able to schedule me and my daughter at the same time
Negative experience: Unethical, negligent, and didn't advise me of costs before performing procedures. I was not advised in advance of any out-of-pocket cost associated with the services rendered on 12/10/2025, nor was I informed which services would be performed, limiting my ability to make an informed decision prior to receiving care. Other dental offices were able to verify with my insurance company in advance regarding any out-of-pocket costs before performing any procedures, but not this one unfortunately. Furthermore, they've threatened to send the charge to collections in order to obtain the money. What kind of business treats their customers this way?? Terrible. Unethical and negligent, stay away at all costs. (02/12/2026 update): Dental office insists that it's my responsibility for the remaining balance due to the denied claim. However, after requiring me to fill out 10 pages of patient forms, they neglected to ask even the most basic of questions at the start of my visit to verify in advance the portion of the costs that would and would not have been covered by my dental insurance. After they performed a comprehensive exam for my initial visit as a new patient, they provided me a treatment plan with a detailed table of the costs for each type of service that would have been rendered (with each service corresponding to a code that could be verified by calling insurance) had I decided to return for a second time after my initial visit. Why did they not provide a similar breakdown of costs in advance to my initial visit for a comprehensive exam as a new patient? The people at this dental office handle patients day-in and day-out all the time, while most patients visit only once every few months. Another dentist that I visited did in-fact try to verify in advance whether I’ve had any other recent dental visits prior to them, and informed me that I may not have sufficient coverage at that point. This proves that it’s more than reasonable to expect Southern Smiles Lawrenceville to do so. The fact that they did not care to do so, and not only that, continue to insist on sending the charges to collections (it’s just $81) feels to me like they do not care about adequately informing patients of any charges in advance. In this case it’s just $81. What if a patient agrees to undergo services that costs thousands of dollars? Will the patient be charged extra without being informing beforehand and have their charges sent to collections if they refuse to pay? Ultimately each person only has 1 set of teeth and it’s up to the patients on whether they want to entrust them with this dental office or not.
Thank you for your review. It appears that services were received at more than one dental office within a short time frame. When the visit was submitted to insurance, the claim was denied due to services previously rendered at another office shortly beforehand. At the time of verification, the prior visit had not yet appeared in the insurance system. As a result of the denial, the remaining balance is the patient’s responsibility.
Fantastic experience: Adriane was an absolute delight! The office exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere, and everyone there was incredibly friendly and attentive. I genuinely appreciate their expertise and meticulous attention to detail when it comes to dental care. Thank you, Southern Smiles!
Fantastic experience: This is hands down the best dental office I’ve been to. They are always on top of things and make the entire visit feel easy and stress free. Everything moves quickly and smoothly, which makes appointments so convenient. What really stands out is the team. The staff is absolutely phenomenal, kind, patient, and genuinely caring. They treat you with respect and make you feel comfortable the whole time. Their customer service is truly amazing. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great dental experience!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful service from all the staff . Kudos to HoYung ! The girls at front desk are very courteous and helpful !
Fantastic experience: The service was great and quick check in. They were able to accommodate my same day reservation and the service was excellent
Fantastic experience: Never felt attached to a dentist but I love this one. Everyone is very nice and they give the best treatment plans to assist me with pain and continue progress for my teeth.
Fantastic experience: Update: I want to update my original review. The work they do is actually very good I always leave feeling clean, and I haven’t had any issues with the quality of care since. My frustration came from one appointment where I had an 8 a.m. slot that was confirmed by phone and text, but I ended up waiting almost an hour before being seen. If I wasn’t going to be seen on time, I wish I had been scheduled later. That said, this seems like it may have been a one-off. Every appointment after that has gone smoothly, and I haven’t had any other complaints. I just wanted to acknowledge that while respecting patients’ time matters, the actual service and results have been good.
We apologize for what you experienced. We value our patients time and understand your frustration. We are looking into what happened and have tried to reach out to you, but have been unsuccessful trying to reach you. Please give us a call to discuss.
Fantastic experience: Great experience. Visit started on time. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Communication was excellent. A++ experience. Top notch!!
Fantastic experience: Southern smiles is the best! Office staff is always kind and courteous, docs are great!
Fantastic experience: They are amazing, very professional, and easy process. They did a deep clean on my teeth before I moved back to TN. If I wasn’t moving, I’d definitely always go there.
Fantastic experience: The dentist reviewed my X-rays and completed the exam. SRP was planned for my cleaning but later changed to a prophy. This may be confusing to some, but is standard in some dental offices. The Hygienist will also evaluate the patient after the Drs exam. Then, the Dr and the Hygienist collaborate and agree on a final treatment plan. I had a good experience and my prophy was done the same day. Yay! Thank you Dr. Patel and team.
Fantastic experience: This was a return visit for a cleaning and placement of a temporary crown on one of my teeth. The hygienist, Mr. Song was very detailed in his work explained how far along we were in the cleaning and what was needed when he was done. The dentist and her assistant were professional, caring and efficient with the whole procedure of removing an old filling, plus placing a temporary crown into place on one of my teeth. The porches was complex and lengthy, but the dentist and assistant were thorough and good at their roles. I have a follow up for placement of the permanent crown in 2 weeks and am looking forward to the completion of this task.
Fantastic experience: We have been using Southern Smiles Dentistry for 2 years. It is always a pleasant experience. The entire staff, front desk , hygienist and dentists are always very welcoming and knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: This was my husband’s first visit. Everyone from the office staff to the dentist was helpful. All made sure that he was comfortable and did the procedures that he needed. A successful first visit and also finding his new dentist was a bonus!! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Awesome team, care is shown to patients. Will be back for all dental needs.
Fantastic experience: I started my journey here this year after wanting to seek a second opinion. I ended up moving forward and am happy. Pricing and service is great. All of the Dentists have all given exceptional service and wisdom. Also the staff from the front desk to the back I appreciate them. Ms. Adriane that’s my girl right there! Always has the bubbly energy which is appreciated!
Fantastic experience: My dentist visit was extremely pleasant. I had my teeth cleaned and the dentist who cleaned them did a fabulous job. They were professional, courteous, and punctual.
Fantastic experience: Courteous, professional, thorough, and affordable. My favorite dentist visit ever. Thank you Southern Smiles!
Fantastic experience: My experience was absolutely fantastic. From the appointment scheduling to the receptionist at the front desk, to the tech, the dentist, the cost of service and the assistance offered for interest free payment plans offered. It was just amazing to say the least.
Fantastic experience: Great dentist office, friendly staff and does good with keeping appointments
Fantastic experience: Always nice and friendly never had any complaints here at all

Your gentle approach and kind demeanor really put me at ease. I appreciate the time you took to go over my treatment options and answer my questions. Thanks for a great experience!"
Fantastic experience: Everyone here is always super welcoming and kind!! Love this dentistry office and would highly recommend coming here!!
Fantastic experience: Southern smiles has been my dentist for years and they always take the best care of me. I’ve even been doing so much better with my own hygiene
Fantastic experience: Very caring of your needs thank you for all the help awesome can't wait to do more business with you
Fantastic experience: Definitely worth every pennies. Very professional and caring. Explained everything in details.
Fantastic experience: Honestly great people, they work with you and talk to you like you’ve been friends for 8 years they made sure my tooth was comfortable and clean, would definitely recommend them and obviously will be returning myself
Negative experience: My family and I have been going to Southern Smiles since 2021 and even continued after moving an hour away because we trusted their care. Unfortunately, the experience has declined over time, and there always seems to be a new dentist with every visit. During my most recent visit, I called ahead for emergency work to fix a chipped tooth and was promptly scheduled by the wonderful front desk staff. However, once I arrived, Dr. Patel refused to perform the procedure, claiming she needed three hours. She was dismissive and unprofessional throughout the interaction, and it was clear even the front desk team felt uncomfortable about the situation. I ended up walking into a dental office on my way home, where the same work was completed professionally in just 30 minutes. It’s disappointing to see how much the quality, consistency, and reliability have changed.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re truly sorry to hear about your recent visit and frustration. It caused. Please know that the dentist you mentioned is no longer with our practice. We take our feedback seriously and are using it to ensure the team provides a consistent and caring service that our patients deserve. We’d appreciate the opportunity to discuss your experience further and make things right if you are open to it, please reach out to our office manager, Romi. Thank you for being a long time patient
Fantastic experience: I had a deep cleaning done and I can definitely say this is the best experience I have had in years. I am so happy with the result. I can't believe how gentle the hygienist was and he got every speck of stain. He was so courtesy and nice. Everone was super nice and the office was very clean. I will definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: Great environment. Professional. And they really go out of their way to help! Romina at the front desk was very helpful and patient with my dental emergency. They also have options if you don’t have dental insurance.
Fantastic experience: Genuinely World-Class staff. I originally came here due to immediate dental needs, and this location was the only office that would accommodate on such short notice… so the drive here from Newnan was daunting. But I can honestly say, I will gladly continue to take the 1hr 20 minute drive (or more depending on traffic) simply because of the staff. They continue to go above-and-beyond time after time.
Fantastic experience: For someone who has anxiety every time I go to the dentist I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable this visit was !! I took my son and daughter for their cleaning! Very affordable for private pay! The office is clean and the staff is friendly and inviting!! The dentist and staff are well versed and I’m happy I’ve found a new dentist!
Fantastic experience: Terrific care everyone was very friendly. Had a cleaning excellent work the hygienist was excellent and very patient.. The dentist very patient explained everything, front desk awesome.
Fantastic experience: For the past five test, I’m finally satisfied with “ Southern smiles “ best place forever in Lawrenceville for everything concerning your teeth and get your smiles back. Best office staff - Romi is very patient with you Best hygienist and Dr Patel very knowledgeable and very patient to educate you all the assessments.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff. Informative and listen to my concerns. They were supportive and accomplished all that I asked. After going to several different dentist’s Southern Smiles I appreciated the most. I have now found a primary dentist I can trust.
Fantastic experience: Great experience. The staff is friendly, professional, and makes you feel comfortable. Highly recommend this place!
Fantastic experience: Love love love!! Dental office is clean and the staff is very knowledgeable. I generally hate going to the dentist it gives me extreme anxiousness, the staff and the dentist made me feel comfortable! They have updated equipment and affordable treatment and payment plan options.
Negative experience: Scheduled back to back appointments for my boyfriend who has severe anxiety and stress surrounding the dentist. They knew this before I made the appointment, weeks prior to them cancelling. We spent the time filling out paperwork (about 30 minutes) including several pages that said if you cancel within 48 hrs you’d be charged $50, and then another page that said we’d be charged $100. Yet, they can cancel on you on their own time without care & you won’t get any money. When I mentioned this to the staff, they said we don’t collect card information, but that’s a lie. We had to submit a payment method on the online paperwork. In addition to the anxiety, I emphasized that because my boyfriend is a manager, he cannot easily get time off of work. So we jumped through hoops to have get time off for the appointment, to just be cancelled on 2 days prior. I was told there was an emergency with a provider, but was told this on 6 days prior, but we still received automatic texts confirming the appointment? Frankly it doesn’t make sense to know 6 days ahead of time that you’re going to have an “emergency” on the day of the appointment. Staff tried to find another provider, but because it was “the weekend” no one responded until Monday (appt was on Wednesday). Their system was also down this morning, and I had to call them to follow up, they didn’t even have the courtesy to call their patients. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. This is completely unprofessional. The most I got was a “sorry” while completing failing to understand how much this will impact us.
We are very sorry for the frustration this situation caused. We understand how stressful dental visits can be, and we regret that the appointment time you preferred was no longer available.
As soon as we became aware of the scheduling change, we reached out, apologized, offered multiple alternative appointments, and even offered to provide a work excuse letter to your boyfriend to help coordinate with his employer. Our cancellation policy is $50 for hygiene visits and $100 for treatment visits, which is standard across most dental offices. In this case, no fee was ever applied to you.
While we regret that we couldn’t accommodate the exact date and time requested, our goal was to ensure his care was prioritized and to find the best solution possible. We appreciate your feedback and will continue improving communication so experiences like this are avoided in the future.
Fantastic experience: I had an awesome experience at Southern Smiles Dentistry.Romi, Sabrina, Najee,Adriane, The hygienist Young and Dr Patel Was very gentle, very knowledgeable and extremely professional..highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: My first visit to Southern Smiles Lawrenceville was a 10 out of 10. I filled the paperwork out online prior to my arrival and when I arrived was greeted and checked in by Romi & Sabrina before I could grab a seat Adriane was taking me to the back to start my exam & run all my X-rays. My hygienist Young was very gentle and quick with his exam. Dr. Patel was friendly and very helpful with her treatment plans for me. I can’t wait for my future visit & bring my family. See you guys soon
Fantastic experience: They worked with me and just gave me what I needed. They were also great with my son too!
Fantastic experience: In my experience dealing with the staff at Southern Smile, I have come to realize that they have consistently shown genuine interest in ensuring that patients get the best outcome always. I say this without reservations.
Fantastic experience: One of the best dental experiences I have had. From the moment I walked through the door everyone was so welcoming. Adrienne was so joyful in helping me get settled, Dr. Patel was kind and answered all of my questions, and Young the hygienists went slow so there wasn’t any pain. Great place to get dental work done.
Fantastic experience: Great care! Everyone makes sure they are providing the best care possible!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here since I moved to Ga. I appreciate the good work they do always keep me informed and keep my teeth clean..
Negative experience: I wouldn't recommend Southern Smiles Lawrenceville to my worst enemy. They messed up my teeth, and I've been in pain for two months. They sent me an extra bill for $1,194, but when I complained about the pain it was causing me financially, they claimed it was a typo, and the correct amount was $194. Despite their explanation, I'm still frustrated and considering taking action.
Fantastic experience: Everyone very friendly and good cleaning with no pain. Explain to every step for financial process. Every one did good job include counter service with very sweet greeding.
Fantastic experience: It smells really nice when you first come in. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem in Lawrenceville Southern Smiles! Walking into Southern Smiles felt like being wrapped in a warm Southern hug. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. The team here doesn’t just treat teeth they treat people. Everyone was attentive, patient, and so comforting throughout my visit. They made sure I understood everything clearly and never once made me feel rushed or like just another appointment on the schedule. It’s rare to find a place that blends expertise with empathy so effortlessly. A special shoutout to the front desk for being so sweet and organized, and to the dental team who made my smile feel seen and cared for. I left not only feeling refreshed but also genuinely cared for. If you’re in or near Lawrenceville and looking for a dental team that treats you like family and makes your smile brighter inside and out Southern Smiles is the place. Thank you all for what you do.
