Services
Sedation Dentistry
Our hospital-based sedation dentistry provides anxiety-free treatment for patients with dental phobia, special needs, or complex requirements. Using general anesthesia in a controlled operating room environment, we perform multiple procedures in a single visit. This approach ensures complete comfort while addressing extensive dental work efficiently. Our collaboration with Wellstar Kennestone Hospital allows safe, comprehensive care for patients who cannot tolerate traditional office visits.
Cosmetic Dentistry
We offer transformative cosmetic treatments including porcelain veneers, professional teeth whitening, and dental implants. These services address discoloration, chips, gaps, and missing teeth to create aesthetically pleasing smiles. Our approach combines artistic skill with technical precision to deliver natural-looking results that enhance facial harmony and boost patient confidence while maintaining functional integrity.
General Family Care
Our comprehensive family dental services include routine cleanings, exams, and early intervention treatments for all ages. We emphasize preventive care through bi-annual checkups, digital X-rays, and oral cancer screenings. This proactive approach helps maintain optimal oral health, detect issues early, and educate patients on effective home care routines to prevent future dental problems.
Gum Disease Treatment
We provide specialized treatment for gingivitis and advanced periodontal disease through deep cleanings and targeted therapies. Our approach addresses bacterial infections that threaten tooth and bone structure while considering systemic health connections. By eliminating tartar buildup and infected tissue, we help restore gum health and prevent progression of this common but serious condition.
Nightguard Services
Custom-fitted nightguards protect teeth from damage caused by unconscious grinding and clenching during sleep. These appliances prevent enamel wear, reduce jaw pain from TMJ disorders, and help manage sleep apnea symptoms. Our tailored approach ensures comfortable fit while preserving dental structures and improving overall sleep quality for both patients and their partners.

Dr. David Kurtzman and his staff (shout out to Allison) are extremely caring, compassionate, and professional. I brought my mom to his office specifically because she has severe dementia and is a challenging case. He treated her with respect and kindness and managed to do a thorough examination which her previous dentist deemed impossible. Thank you so much for the peace of mind and tremendous relief I have in knowing her dental health is taken care of. 2021 Update! Dr. Kurtzman has once again proven himself to be a genuinely caring and kind human being.
My mom's decades old dental bridge fell out, so I immediately contacted his office for advice. Even though we don't live in the area and he likely couldn't be the one to assist us, he called me from his personal phone to talk it through and offer his expertise and suggested that I bring her to a local oral surgeon. I'm so grateful to have met him and again I can't recommend his practice enough.

If you are looking for a great Marietta Dentist, I can highly recommend Dr. David Kurtzman. I have been going to Dr. Kurtzman for the past 26 years and can confidently say that he is skilled dentist that goes out of his way to make sure you are comfortable during your dental treatment. We live an hour from his office but still make the trip to Marietta as I can't imagine seeing another dentist!

It has been awhile since I saw Dr Kurtzman. I was having trouble with a root canal. Because of his website and how he held himself up as a true dentist, caring only for the patient, I went for his help. At first he was engaging and helpful. He recommended a different dentist to finish's root canal. Afterwards the tooth pain continued and got worse after I had my teeth cleaned at Kurtzmans office.
I went back and forth to him for help. I was strung along for months. I was in excruciating pain. Every tooth on the left side of my face never stopped hurting. I had the root canal pulled. The pain continued. Another root canal. No relief. Another extraction. Still in pain. Dr Kurtzman treated me like I was a drug addict trying to get pain meds from him. I was getting ready to have yet another tooth pulled when a real Doctor diagnosed me with Trigemenal Neuralgia. A very painful autoimmune disorder. Because of Kurtzman, I was in pain for months, removed two teeth unnecessarily, and was emotionally damaged by him and his incompetence.

Absolutely a great dentist and staff. I've had 2 crowns, implant and fillings and everything is always perfect. Dr. Kurtzman makes you feel comfortable, especially if you're nervous at the dentist, and his work is amazing, no problems at all. Highly recommended, you can feel very confident going here.

Amazing compassion and attention to client care. I've been injured by two previous dentists in the last 20 + years. Caused quite the dental phobia. Dr. Kurtzman and his staff understood this and went out of their way to years worth the dental work in 4 visits. Can not say enough about what a treasure I have found.
