Services
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services transform smiles through porcelain veneers, bonding, and smile makeovers. We combine artistic skill with advanced technology to address discoloration, misalignment, and imperfections. Each treatment plan focuses on creating natural-looking results that enhance facial aesthetics while maintaining functionality.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth using titanium posts integrated with the jawbone. Our practice offers single-tooth replacements, implant-supported bridges, and full-mouth reconstructions. We utilize 3D imaging for precise placement and offer same-day implant options for qualified patients.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments remove deep stains and discoloration through in-office sessions or custom take-home trays. Our supervised treatments ensure enamel protection while achieving dramatic results. We offer solutions for both surface stains and intrinsic discoloration caused by aging or medications.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation options including nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation help anxious patients receive necessary care comfortably. Our techniques minimize discomfort and fear during procedures while maintaining patient safety. This service enables comprehensive treatment for those with dental phobia or complex needs.
Gum Disease Treatment
Non-surgical gum disease treatments restore oral health through scaling, root planing, and laser therapy. Our approach focuses on eliminating infection while preserving tissue integrity. We emphasize preventive strategies and ongoing maintenance to prevent recurrence and protect overall health.

Report
After moving here from going to a great dentist when lived in Texas, I was recommended to try Flax Dental. I have veneers and didn't want just anyone to clean my teeth as I want to protect my investment. I have been a patient for 3 years now at Flax and have been very impressed with the level of care and customer service. Chealsea cleans my teeth and does it with such care that it puts me at ease when I get them cleaned.
She is very attentive and pays attention to details. I appreciate her being delicate and attentive to my veneers and aware that keeping them in top shape is very important to me. It's obvious that it's very important to them as well at Flax. Dr. Flax is very kind and patient and very good at his craft. I know I'm in good hands there. I drive an hour to see them but it's very worth it to me. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a good quality dental office with great service, friendly staff, and your teeth will sparkle!

I've been coming to Flax Dental since 2016 and don't plan on ever going elsewhere! Both dental hygienists are great-kind and thorough. Dr. Flax has been excellent as well and has helped me through *many* cavities. Highly recommend!

I was in Atlanta for a week and while eating an apple one of my front veneers broke. I was horrified and immediately called my dentist from my hometown in SC and he recommended Dr Flax. My dentist said that Dr Flax was an excellent Dentist and assured me I would be in good hands. He was right! Dr Flax's staff gave me an emergency appointment to come in the next day. Oh my gosh! Dr Flax fixed my mouth in a flash and made my smile look as though nothing had ever happened.
If I were a permanent resident of Atlanta, Dr Flax would definitely be my dentist. It gives me great pleasure to give him a five star rating. I honestly think he should get ten stars but ten is not on the list. R Williams

I have been going to Dr. Flax for well over 10 years. Everyone in the entire office is both patient and kind and so attentive to whatever needs I may have to make the experience a positive one. Dr. Flax is extremely knowledgeable on all of the latest information coming out of the field of dentistry, and I might add has a great sense of humor as well. His bite guard protocol has literally saved all of my teeth. Obviously I would highly recommend!
