Great job Dr. D and staff! Went there hoping to find a place where we would be comfortable and that is exactly what we found. After visiting Aspen Dental and having them attempt to extort a lot of money out of my wife and myself, we were looking for someone that had our best interest and care at heart and we couldn’t be more pleased with our decision to give Dr. D and his staff the chance to win our business. Phoebe do it and so can Dr. D!!! 😍

If you are fortunate enough to live close to Blue Ridge GA you need to make Dr. Dlugokinski your dentist. I came to town on business this week and I broke my back molar in half. I called Aspen Dental. They said they could see me Nov 20th. Thanks Aspen Dental- for nothing! I called Blue Ridge Dental and they told me to come in. The entire staff was fantastic. They took me back immediately, xrayed my mouth and Dr. Dlugokinski came in and took the pain away and fixed my problem. Best dental experience I have ever had. This office is not only highly professional and expert at what they do, but the staff really cares about the patient. Great job and thank you some much. To be willing to make time available for someone in need AND to provide pain free care. You are my hero!

Amazing! Dr. D. explains every single aspect of whatever he will do to your teeth with such detail. You really understand exactly why, what and how is happening. He is incredibly gentle, and so precise. I am so so grateful to him for the care, the quality and affordability and the beautiful attitude while I am in his care.

I had the most wonderful experience today taking my 10 year old Great Grandson to Blue Ridge Dental. Miss Tonya has the patience of a saint, and Dr. D’s kind demeanor immediately puts you at ease. Highly recommend this place for not only adults but also children.

My husband and I were both having dental issues and having numerous calls to our regular dentist went unanswered and no call back, I ask on was referred here by a friend and sent a message online about appts and within minutes got a call about scheduling and we were in the office being seen by Dr D in two days. His staff and himself were beyond courteous, prompt, using all safety measures for COVID and so very friendly and straightforward. My husband and I both were very glad to have found him and we will be patients for life.

Was in town on vacation and my son had a dental emergency. Called and spoke to Heather. She was very nice and told me so come in. I went in and saw Dr. Dlugokinski. He was great. Very friendly and took the time to talk to me and explain what he did. Thank you Heather and Dr. D.

Dr. Dlugokinski is amazing! I had some bonding chip off of my front tooth during a recent stay in Blue Ridge leaving me with a snaggle-toothed smile that couldn't wait until my return home to Dallas to fix. I admittedly was wary about seeing a dentist so far from home, who hadn't done the original work or even remotely knew me or what my "normal smile" looked like. I rolled the dice...and came up a huge winner! Dr. D did a beautiful job!!...the best ANY dentist has done for me over the two decades I've had my bonding maintained. He is an artist! Truly...he thinks about every detail and optimizes the results. I reserve my highest recommendation for him and the staff at Blue Ridge Dental. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

Staff are always very friendly, flexible and professional. They always seem genuinely concerned with how I am doing. Dr Mark is an ethical provider and is conservative in his recommendations, encouraging treatment of what is needed but not promoting things that are not needed. It impressed me that prior to coming in as anew patient, he reviewed the records I provided from my previous dentist and actually looked into my previous provider. Very comfortable office. Love it here!!

My entire experience has been great. From ease of making appts to the actual procedure . I like the fact they show you the findings and educate you on the issue and if it’s something that needs care right away. My hygienist is excellent. She explains every step and is very gentle. I highly recommend Dr. D and his staff. They are truly caring people who will take great care of you.
