Services
Dr. David Pumphrey earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the School of Dentistry at Emory University in Atlanta. He then went on to complete his specialized training and earn his postgraduate certificate in periodontics at Emory's Department of Periodontics. He completed his hospital residency at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
We also have a partnership with Care Credit, which offers no-interest payment plans to make your treatment affordable. You can even apply online. Some of our patients also take advantage of Lending Club loans to pay for their dental work. We'll be happy to answer any questions about this or any of our financial policies, so please don't hesitate to ask.
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth root. The implant is attached to a porcelain crown or other restoration with an abutment. Dental implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth, several missing teeth, or all your teeth. The implant looks, feels, and functions in the same manner as a natural tooth.
There are several types of implant-supported dentures, and they all share some basic benefits. They can make life much more pleasant for denture wearers because they secure the dentures and significantly increase chewing efficiency. They won't slip and fall out at embarrassing moments, they are more comfortable, and they can prevent bone loss.
Many people don't know that when they lose teeth, they also lose bone. Our teeth are held in place by their roots, which extend into the jaw. When we lose a tooth, the body reacts by absorbing the minerals in the jawbone that once supported that tooth. This process of bone absorption, also called resorption, can lead to facial collapse and serious health consequences.

I booked a consultation with Dr. Kancherla found her to be extremely caring, knowledgeable and diligent in her analysis of the issue. She did her best to confirm that my molar could not absolutely be saved before even discussing the extraction and implant details.
It is also impressive that Dr. Kancherla offers both Ceramic/Zirconia implant in addition to traditional metal/titanium type.
I believe Dr. Kancherla has the skills, integrity, and confidence needed in every medical professional. So, I highly recommend her services.

Incredible staff!! Had major dental work completed by Dr Pumphrey and the process was smooth and effortless. He's completely reassuring of the proceeds involved with implants. After the surgery he call me from his cell phone to ensure I was doing OK. Top notch customer service. Going above and beyond. Would recommend 100%

Over the course of 4 visits with Dr Pumphrey and his staff, I experienced nothing but courteous, friendly, professionalism. From the initial greeting at reception, opening consultation, financial discussions, the actual periodontal procedures, and effective follow-up -- most all of which occurred during the coronavirus pandemic -- I was treated with caring respect and concern. My thanks to Dr. Pumphrey and his staff for a level of customer service not rarely seen in any profession or consumer activity.

I have some issues with my mouth for over 3 years. I have been seeing several dentist in a regular basis without satisfactory results until the day I went to Pumphrey Periodontics & Dental Implant Therapy office.
The welcome I received from the front desk Staff member Tristen made me fell right in a 5 star hotel immediately. the artwork on the wall and the total decoration made the place very inviting.
My check in was quick and Tristan was extremely pleasant, very polite and professional during our interaction. Doctor Pumphrey did my diagnosis and recommended a treatment plan for me. His explanations

Dr. Pumphrey and his team are the absolute best. They excel in care, customer service, and communication. I reached out and emailed the office a TON and they were able to answer all my questions thoroughly before making an appointment to have a crown lengthening procedure. They were extremely flexible in meeting my requests and fitting my schedule in with theirs. From arrival to departure, I felt very comfortable and the procedure was a breeze. I appreciate Dr. Pumphrey going the extra mile for the overall aesthetic and, most importantly, care of my gums making my whole experience exceptionally

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Pumphrey for 23 years. The care and service I’ve received over the years has been excellent and beneficial to my overall health. When I began seeing Dr. Pumphrey I was in the early stages of periodontal disease. As a result of his experience, guidance, maintenance plan, gum surgery and his commitment to excellence Dr. Pumphrey has met and exceeded my expectations. Now enough about him. Let’s discuss the staff. The people at the front desk and throughout the office are personable, professional and informative. Winnie Roberts is my dental hygienist and I must say

Simply 100% the best. I had a bad childhood dentist and have sever panic attacks going to the dentist. Doc Brock takes the time to understand this and has been the only dentist that I can go to. If you have nerves going to the dentist please try them. From start to finish the staff is wonderful and really care about the patient. I also love the fact that is is a father son practice, having those years of experience being past down day in and day out is priceless. The most chilled place in atlanta.
