David McNay, DDS

After trying out another Dentist in the area that I did not care for I decided to try Dr. McNay. All I can say is this guy is absolutely great and will make you laugh. I never actually looked forward going to a dentist office before and I look forward to my next appointment. If your new to the area like myself or want to try out a new dentist do not worry you will not be disappointed.

I’ve been in Georgia for 2 years and one of the things I dreaded was having to find a new dentist. Good dentist are really hard to come by, however, Dr. McNay is one of the best.
You will absolutely love this place. You can watch TV while sitting in the chair or just kick and joy the tunes on the radio. I just got a filling in my mouth and I must say Dr. McNay was as so gentle that I never felt a thing. He fixed my tooth in no time. I have had some dreadful experience at the dentist but knowing I have found Dr. McNay I will probably be with him until he retires.
Check him out he really is a top notch dentist.

The first time I went to Dr McNay and Restoration Dental it was because of a cracked tooth. It happened on a Friday afternoon right around 5pm. I called the nearest dentist and lucked out with these guys. Janell (the office manager) and Dr McNay offered to stay late past closing time to fit me in. What a life saver! Later on I found out that both were heading out of town for vacations that afternoon but STILL had volunteered to stay later just to help me out.
The doc is kind and funny and work wells with dentistry cowards such as myself. Janell and the rest of the staff are great people. I’m happy to have found this place and as long as they and I are in Atlanta, thats where I’ll be going! I’ve already referred two other people to his practice and they’ve also both commented that this is the only place they’ll go from now on.
I’ve been there for procedures with and without insurance. Under both circumstances the prices seemed very reasonable and the quality of work was excellent. The doc has also advised for cheaper procedures (a cap or filling) when I was clearly expecting something much more expensive (a root canal) and I appreciate that.

I am a federal contractor at the CDC and I was looking for a honest, SKILLFUL and trustworthy dentist for my family and I have found him!
I urge all federal employees and contractors at the CDC to visit Dr. McNay if you are looking for a skillful and trustworthy dentist!
Thank God no more bullsh! t!

Had my first cleaning in years today and it was a great experience. I found Dr. McNay on Unilocal and just wanted to pass on info that he and his staff were perfect. I had a 7:30 appointment and showed up a little early. They took me right in and I was out by 8. The experience took away all of my excuses not to go on a more regular basis.

I was excited to finally go to the dentist because of all the great reviews Dr. McNay has. I had a fantastic dentist back in DC (Dr. Roca) and visited him religiously because it was such a pleasant experience. Small insurance lapse and it had been a year since I’d gotten a cleaning. That and I’m not a good flosser (come on, who is) I knew I’d probably get the dental scolding I deserved. The receptionist, so warm and friendly. The dental assistant (the girl who put me in the chair and got me set up) also so nice. After waiting for a long (30+ minutes) bit to meet the dentist who didn’t even come in until the end of my appointment, the hygienist came in and began torturing me. She was less than gentle (I’m a crazy pregnant lady who didn’t want my gums numbed for the safety of my baby, so maybe back off a bit) and basically made it sound like my pearly whites were going to fall out tomorrow. I appreciate she wanted to do a thorough job, but ouch. I’ve had my teeth cleaned probably 50+ times in my life and have never had gum soreness like I experienced nor have I had a hygienist try to use numbing stuff on my gums. She also never polished my teeth? Dr. McNay was nice and addressed my concerns about my gums (my pearly whites will apparently last me a while and my growing babe is to blame for most of the issues I was having). It was a bit concerning that the hygienists was a 180 degree perspective from the actual Doctor. Overall, I’ll probably give them one more shot post-baby…I just hope the next appointment doesn’t take 2+ hours.

I’ve never reviewed anything on Unilocal – but after going here, I had to. This is by far the best dentist I’ve ever been to. The office is beautiful, all the staff are friendly and very helpful and their prices are reasonable.
After going to another dentist who told me I had $ 2830 worth of work to be done, I wanted a second opinion – and I sure am glad I got one. Not only did they give me great prices, but he also told me that I don’t have as much work to be done as the previous dentist. I would recommend this place to anyone FOR SURE.

TWO STARS… the only review to give less than five stars, gosh, I’m such a rebel. I’m not even a big Unilocaler. But, my experience today disappointed me and made me feel like I should write a review, not that anyone cares ;). But, before you read on, if all you care about is going to a dentist who knows what he’s doing, I give 5 stars for that.
*Disclaimer*, this review has nothing to do with Dr. McNay being a great dentist or reflects his ability as a dentist. Instead, this review is to explain the nonchalant and somewhat flippant attitude to my current condition (But before you judge, I promise, I’m not that sensitive). To explain, I saw Dr. McNay over a year ago when I had an issue with a tooth. He was great; he explained everything to me, was super funny and personable, and I came back to get a filling and a cleaning. I even got a mouth guard! Basically, I had a great experience and after dentist hopping for a while I thought hey! finally found myself an awesome dentist! Flash forward to a over a year later (now)… I haven’t had insurance in a year, so like many other people, I didn’t go in for a cleaning at the beginning of the year like I should have. Unfortunately, last week I started dying of a toothache. I realized Dr. McNay’s office was closed on Mondays so I went ahead and made an appointment (on a Monday) somewhere else to just get my tooth checked out because I was having intermittent, excruciating tooth pain. Find out, I need a root canal… yaaaay.
I still wanted to go to Dr. McNay for the treatment because my last experience with him had been great. So, I made another appointment to see Dr. McNay afterwards. I went in today and Janell was wonderful and super sweet, just as she was last time. Dr. McNay was definitely not as friendly as the first time I saw him but hey, it’s 7am and who wants to work at that time? Anyway, scheduled an appointment for ¹⁰⁄₁ because that’s when my insurance becomes effective. Long story short, I fought with my insurance company to get the effective date rolled back so I could get my root canal done sooner and whoa, insurance company complied! I call Dr. McNay’s office back and ask to see if there are any other appointments before ¹⁰⁄₁ and he says the last day of September… say WHAT? Literally, I was so confused. This coming from the dentist who was so accommodating and helpful before. I asked again and he said no, nothing available so then offered to give me a referral. uhhhh okay, you dont want me as a patient, I guess? I know this doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it was just the way he went about it. Didn’t give me the time of day. Rudeeeee. Like, what did I do to you?
Honestly, in retrospect, it really isn’t big deal. But after visiting him last year, I could tell that he just didn’t care to have me as a patient. I can only speculate as to why: maybe because I saw another dentist the day before (when his office was closed), maybe because I wasn’t a good patient and didn’t go in for my cleaning early this year, maybe because I have a gazillion fillings and he didn’t want to deal with me? Who knows. We will never know. Such a sad day; I really liked this dentist and was willing to drive 45 mins out of my way to go to him. Anyway, just wanted to warn other people that this MIGHT HAPPEN TO YOU. That is all. BTW, I really like Janell, she is a nice lady :).

Dr McNay is a phenomenal dentistl! I cracked a filling and was able to get a same-​day appointment with him. My appointment was at 4:00, I was seen at exactly 4:00! As usual. Dr. McNay had a great bedside manner and a great sense of humor! He is a very knowledgeable, competent and compassionate. He found the crack and repaired it quickly and without pain. I would highly recommend Dr. McNay for ALL your dental needs!

This is the most beautiful dentist office I have entered to date. I hate going to the dentist, but the vibe of the office quickly calmed my dental anxiety. The staff is friendly and efficient. David is extremely funny and intelligent and explained any issues with my teeth clearly with lots of visual support. I never felt like I was being talked down to or that I was being ripped off with excessive procedures. Best of all, he is located five minutes from the Chamblee MARTA station. My visits have been superb all around. Highly recommended!

Awesome! Seriously, everyone should switch to this dentist ASAP! After a year of searching for the right dentist, I’m glad to say I have finally found one. I was tired of being over-​charged, unnecessary procedures, and horrible cleaning jobs. Everything about this office is great… down to their décor. If I ever move out of state, I might still make the trip back here to get my teeth done.
Just fantastic!!!

There is not much to say that has not been about this kind gentle and professional dentist .
The hygienist who cleaned my teeth was amazing. For the first time in many years I can say the process was completely pain free.
I will be a regular from now on, and will not dread my next visit.
I am so fortunate to have found them.

I can’t believe how painless getting multiple cavities filled at one time felt! As someone who fears the dentist, Dr. McNay did an incredible job making me feel comfortable and at ease. I can’t thank him and his staff enough for caring so personally for each patient. Thank you!

If you’re looking for a great dentist with an awesome staff and a beautiful office, look no further! I was beyond impressed with the personal experience I had, and I can honestly say I am looking forward to my next dental visit here.
From the moment I walked in the office, I was greeted warmly by Jannelle, and I felt like I was an important guest. My insurance coverage was clearly explained so I had no surprises as to what to expect in terms of a bill. Kendra was my hygienist, and she was so gentle. When she told me I was done with my cleaning, I was kind of shocked because I hadn’t experienced any pain yet! Isn’t going to the dentist supposed to be a little painful? Not here! All of the equipment used in Dr. McNay’s office is super high tech, so I guarantee you will never look at other dental offices the same way again.
Dr. McNay was fantastic. He has a great sense of humor, and his «chair-​side» manner can’t be beat. He explained everything that he was doing very well and made me feel very comfortable even while getting a filling. I will be sure to return to him for all of my dental needs.

Amazing work! Really takes his time and the whole feel of the office made me really relax. I love the décor and just how friendly the staffs were. Most importantly I really do appreciate the way David took care of my teeth. It’s so hard to find someone who loves what they do but I think I have found him!

Dr. McNay and his staff are true professional’s.

Just moved here and found this dentist office here on Unilocal with their good reviews, so I decided to give it a go. So glad I did! I really enjoyed my experience here and felt comfortable right away. I love when dentists keep up with the latest technology as well, so I felt I was in good hands after looking around. I will be back and this will be my Atlanta dentist office.

Dr. McNay is fantastic. So glad I listened to Unilocal and went to see him. It is clear he loves what he does and tries very hard to provide patients with a pleasant, light-​hearted experience. He had technology and knowledge most dentists I’ve seen do not. He was very current on recent medical publications and recommendations. He was not pushy or arrogant– he even did my cleaning himself. He has a different cleaning tool than most places which made the cleaning fast and less painful than any I’ve had in the past.
Highly, highly recommend Dr. McNay for anyone looking for a dentist.

From my initial call, I knew things would be different here. Janell had the most pleasant phone voice of any front office person I have ever spoken to. (Seriously, it’s worth commenting on.) When I found out my insurance was out-​of-​network, she assured me it would be worth it. And after only one visit, I can say she was right!
The office is serene and could double as a Restoration Hardware showroom. There are even private treatment rooms overlooking the shops on Dresden.
Dr. McNay was warm and quite funny, a stark contrast to my prior dentist. And I saw him right away, something that doesn’t usually happen most places. I knew I needed a lot of work done, but he didn’t chastise me and I didn’t leave clutching my wallet.
Janell and Housthon, the dental assistant, are equally fantastic. They’re both professional and extremely friendly!
If you’re looking for a great dental experience, please give Restoration Dental a try. I’m so glad I did. I can see myself and family visiting for years to come!

Best Dentist EVER!!!
From location is amazing! Lots of places to eat, very very nice area in Brookhaven.
The office is very clean and spacious.
The receptionist is so nice and warm. She greeted us with a smile and walk me trough the hole procedure.
The Doctor! I don’t think I have ever laughed so hard wile seen by a doctor! Best costumer service ever!!! He explained everything step by step, they even apply lip-​balm for you so your lips don’t get hurt or cracked wile cleaning.
I really enjoyed coming here, I highly recommend it!
