Stress-Free Dental Care Experience

Modern dental solutions for every smile

Before you arrive

Once your visit is scheduled, we’ll help you get prepared before you ever walk through the door. Our goal is to make check-in simple, reduce waiting, and help our team understand your insurance and needs ahead of time.

Complete your forms ahead of time

Before your appointment, we’ll text and email you your new patient forms.

You can complete them easily on your phone or computer before your visit, which helps us get you checked in faster when you arrive.

Send us your insurance information

Your forms will also ask for your dental insurance information.

Please complete this section before your appointment or provide your insurance details when our team contacts you. This helps us check your benefits ahead of time and prepare your estimated costs before treatment is discussed.

Tell us what matters most

Pain, broken tooth, cosmetic concern, overdue cleaning, or just getting back on track β€” let us know what brought you in.

The more we know ahead of time, the better we can prepare for your visit and help you make the most of your appointment.

Your visit, step by step

1. Easy check-in

When you arrive, you’ll check in with one of our teammates or on a tablet if your information is already complete.
Most patients who complete their forms ahead of time are taken back within 5–10 minutes of arrival.

2. Complete modern exam

We’ll take full digital imaging and perform a thorough exam to understand your dental health clearly.
Your visit may also include a complimentary intraoral scan, which helps us show you your teeth in detail and explain what we see.

3. See what we see

We’ll review your images, scans, or X-rays with you so you can clearly understand what’s happening.
No guessing. No confusion. Just clear explanations.

4. Review your treatment plan

If treatment is recommended, we’ll present your options while you are seated in the chair.
We’ll also review estimated insurance benefits and estimated out-of-pocket costs before starting anything.

5. Start care when appropriate

When clinically appropriate and the schedule allows, many treatments can be started or completed the same day.
Our goal is to help you avoid unnecessary extra visits whenever possible.

Same-day options when they make sense

Our goal is to help you avoid unnecessary extra visits whenever possible. Many patients can get answers, understand their options, and begin care the same day.

Same-day care may include:

  • Cleanings, when clinically appropriate
  • Fillings
  • Crowns, when possible
  • Emergency treatment
  • Extractions, when appropriate
  • Clear aligner scans or consultations
  • Treatment planning for larger cases

Same-day treatment depends on your dental needs, clinical findings, provider availability, and schedule availability.

No surprises about cost

Before moving forward with treatment, we’ll help you understand your insurance benefits, estimated costs, and payment options.

Most major PPO plans accepted

We accept most major PPO insurance plans and help you understand your benefits before treatment.

No insurance? We have an easy option

Our membership plan helps make preventive care simple and affordable without the confusion of traditional insurance.

Flexible payment options

We offer flexible payment options and financing plans to help make treatment easier to manage.

Clear answers. No pressure.

Your first visit should help you feel informed, not overwhelmed. We’ll explain what we see, answer your questions, and help you understand your options before anything moves forward.

  • We explain before we treat
  • You’ll understand your options
  • You’ll know estimated costs before treatment
  • You decide when you’re ready to move forward

What to bring to your appointment

  • List of medications, if applicable

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what we found, what your options are, and what comes next.

A clear plan

You’ll know what we recommend and why.

Next steps

We’ll help schedule treatment, follow-up care, or your next cleaning.

For years, I avoided going to the dentist because of a traumatic experience that left me with a lot of anxiety. Walking into Riverwood Dental for my initial evaluation was emotional I actually cried but from the moment I arrived, the entire team made me feel safe, welcomed, and cared for. The dentist took the time to listen, explain everything thoroughly, and create a personalized treatment plan to restore my dental health. Every member of the team from the front desk to the dental assistants and the dentist worked together seamlessly to make each visit a positive experience. I already had a nice smile, but thanks to Riverwood Dentists, I now have a healthy smile too. I am incredibly grateful for their compassion, professionalism, and exceptional care. I highly recommend Riverwood Dentists to anyone, especially if dental anxiety has kept you away from getting the care you deserve.

I had a great experience at Riverwood Dental! The staff was friendly and professional, and I was seen on time. The hygienist was gentle and thorough, and Dr. Amit was amazing! He was very thorough, clearly explained everything, and answered my questions. The office was clean and comfortable, and I felt well taken care of throughout my visit. I would highly recommend them.

Awesome first time experience at Riverwood Dental! The folks in the building lobby will help you find the suite if you get turned around like I did! Appointment was right on time and straightforward. They were transparent with pricing upfront and promptly verified insurance prior to the appointment. Gabby and Dr. Faulkner were very gentle and thorough with the exam/imaging/etc, and the view from the office was such a plus.

My experience here was amazing. As someone who has a fear of coming to the dentist I can say I was tested so kind and with patience. I was warmly greeted by Mya and Gabby, Sharon was so pleasant making me feel comfortable during my procedure and Dr. Faulkner was so kind and patient. I definitely recommend coming for your dental needs! Amazing staff!

My first visit to Riverwood Dental was an excellent experience from start to finish. The staff was amazing, knowledgeable, patient, and welcoming. The technology was very advanced, and I truly felt like my dental health was in great hands. They completed a thorough cancer screening, an excellent healthy cleaning, and quick X-rays. The staff took their time to ensure the X-rays were captured at the perfect angle and never made me feel rushed. The office itself is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, and the view of Atlanta from the chair was an unexpected bonus, making the visit even more relaxing. My boyfriend is already ready to switch to this office as well! If you’re looking for a dental office that combines professionalism, advanced care, and a wonderful atmosphere, look no further than Riverwood Dental.
