All I can say is that I really wish I would have read the reviews first. Dr. Blount pulled out my tooth and left pieces of teeth that fell out gradually over time. When he numbed my teeth so aggressively, he left the room so long he had to re num cause it wore off. I was in pain for almost a month. Then what was supposed to be a simple extraction was billed to my insurance as oral surgery and left me with a bill. When I inquired about it, I was given the run around with no explanation at all. I'm currently waiting on a call back from them for something else that was done to another tooth that isn't even worth mentioning! Just know I've been waiting on this call back for two weeks now. I'm searching for a new dentist now cause I won't be returning. My advice to you, keep searching for better dental services, no matter how long it takes! Good luck...

I came here to get my teeth cleaned before the end of the year because my regular dentist is out of town. I saw these reviews but took a chance. They got me right in! My wait time to get back was only 10 minutes and Dr Blount was professional and friendly. I was pleasantly surprised at my visit, may be tempted to come back :)

Very bad service. My appointment was at 9:15 am. Wait til 12 pm. I left. Was not seen by any one. This place mass schedule for people to come in and they just go from there. Bad customer service. Limited parking place too. Do not go here. They wasted 4 hrs of my time today.

Absolutely fabulous! It's been a very long while for me in upkeeping dental procedures for lack of insurance and my endless search to find a good, solid DDS I could feel 100% confident and safe in the hands of when it comes to trusting another to work in my mouth. A local practice. If you have Medicaid as I do, you well know the frustration and nearly impossible a task it is finding any doctors and specialists who accept Medicaid for their services! After nearly 40 dead ends finally, I found exactly what I'd been tirelessly trudging both Medicaid's outdated and grossly improper listing online, via phone with representatives, internet searches, even word of mouth to no avail. Somehow I came across Dentures and Family Dentistry, the office of Jimmy Blount DDS General Dentist. How good was that for me! I admit I was a bit nervous not having been referred and with nothing to go on regarding anyone's experiences so I white knuckled it knowing how much trouble and discomfort and pain my once million dollars smile my instant attention grabber was giving me. So, I took a chance. Boy oh boy did I hit the jackpot! This is why I'm moved to leave this honest, non-objective review based solely on not just my actual survival of my first visit however, because of my following two visits! The public needs to know so here it is on my experiences straight from the hip. Firstly, when I walked in immediately a calmness met me on the other side of the door. A basic, quite quaint and simple waiting room with a seemingly tranquil and serene very comfortable good vibration permeated the room. Excellent staff! Very pleasant, professional, efficient and accommodating with full knowledge in their craft in answering my many medically charged questions. Monica at the front of the house seriously knows her stuff with any and all things admin and insurances and the ways to get around the things or road blocks that insurance companies really don't care if you know or not. She's very qualified and

Two words UNPROFESSIONAL AND UNETHICAL. The office manager Sonya had th worst nasty attitude and lied about filing a claim wirh my insurance. Dr . Blount knocked out an Adjacent tooth attempting to repair a chip crown and apologize for the mistake promised to replacr t. Never did. After several visits to the office. Then he promised to compensate me. with check to have it replaced since I have relocated out of state. These were his spoken words to me. I inquired via phone and letter . He denied it.DO NOT TRUST!!!

This is my first visit a this location. Several patients have come and left because no one is here. No calls were made to vertify our appointments. Terrible customer service.

Tacky, Unprofessional, Careless. (FYI, these instances took place at the Snellville Office). My 11 year old was traumatized and this last visit was the last straw after previous instances of; being called to be reminded of an appointment that didn't exist until a week later, the Dr. coming in and just starting to needle numb the child with no word of what was about to go down his first time in life having this done. This last visit took the cake, waited in the chair numbed up for well over an hour (no updates or kindness expressed in the interim) finally Dr. Blount reappeared, wanted to drill him up as the numbing was wearing off (per my son) after the Dr. said to me "Why didn't you bring him in the morning? Kids do better in the morning." in front of my child several times. Well, I was on time for my appointment Sir (now it's 5pm for my 3pm apt), why wasn't I advised that this was the case, why would you say this in front of my child, any child. So now the drill is whirring, and my son goes into a figity, body stiffing crisis upon the Dr.'s approach. The work didn't get done, my child all but jumped out the chair and we left. There's more but really this should suffice.

Reviews are very important but I don’t base my overall decision around them. I go by my own experience. So here it is. Everyone told me I needed dentures but once I was examined by Dr. Blount he confirmed extractions were needed and partials would be the best route. We proceeded with doing the impression and scheduled my extractions. On E Day he made sure I was comfortable and started the procedure. I want to say it took about an hour and I was leaving with my new partials. I saw him the next day to see how everything was settling in and I was healing as expected. The Sunday after my extractions I developed an infection and put on antibiotics. Dr. Blount saw me a few days later to make sure I was on the mend which was comforting. Overall I personally think he’s a good dentist. I think with anything, communication is key.
I gave 3 stars because of the front desk. That is the first contact to seeing the doctor. The impression you give is how people will perceive the office and that’s not fair to the patient or the care provider.

This was my first visit to see Dr. Blount. Even though my appointment was at 11am. I was asked to come back at 1pm. I decided to come back due to the fact it’s hard to find a dentist that takes my insurance. When he came into the room he was very pleasant and apologized for my wait. He even replaced a crown that had fallen off. The lady that took my ex-rays didn’t know what she was doing. So needless to say. I had to go through that again. Then I was told that I was not able to save my bottom teeth. That I would need dentures. Broken hearted as I was about the information. I called my insurance company to see how I could get my dentures approved. I called Dr. Blount the next day to let them know what they needed to do. I have been calling for over a week now. Leaving messages and finally even spoke to someone. She told me I needed to talk to Sonya. So I’ve called and left messages for her. Still no return call. So needless to say. If they can’t even call me back. Why would I want them to pull my teeth. Put in my dentures. If they can’t even return my calls now.

If I could rate this office a zero, I would gladly do so. Dr. Blount tried to give my mother a root canal and left her in severe pain and has not even called to see how she was doing after the horrible work done. My mother was referred to an oral surgeon after Dr.Blount hacked up her gums. She cant even eat and barely can drink. I stopped receiving work done from this office because of the painful cleanings and accidental pokings from him. I have one word for this office..... RUN

Thanks to Dr. Blount taking the time to evaluate my son's mouth. He is now on his way to getting braces. My son has seen several dentist before and never was I told that he was in need for braces. In fact, I've been told that he wasn't a good candidate for them. Dr. Blount referred my son to the Orthodontist & after his exam they informed me that he needs them badly. I'm very pleased with Dr. Blount's diagnoses & my son loves him so we will be back.

This place is a total scam.
Deserves ZERO stars. Sonja doesn't return phone call . Pam should be fired for being rude and unprofessional. I've waited a week for a call back on work I need done. I've spoken to Sonja on monday and Tuesday and was promised a call back. Never happened. Pam is rude and refuses to let me talk to someone else. Will finish the review later. Police are here.
Edit to add....I contacted my insurance company to let them know what was going on. TURNS OUT THE NEVER EVEN BILLED MY INSURANCE NOR DID THEY TRY TO GET A PA FOR MY WORK.

This place doesn't return phone calls or even answer the phones calls or return messages. I call this very unprofessional facility in an old house turn into a dentist office in Covington Ga. They want you to get the services they want you to have, not what you are asking for or prefer you to get expensive services you do not need. My insurance plan refers them I going have to change insurance plans if they deal with business like this . Please do not waste your time. Try calling them to see if any answers too. I give this business a 1-D for displeased .

Went today just to get a teeth cleaning because my dentist is sick and currently not working. Places like this should illegal, it’s no better than pickpocketing or theft. It’s a trashy dirty house turned into a nasty dentist office. I and everyone else there waited for over an hour to get looked at. I had x rays done for like 30 min because the lady had no idea what she was doing. The dentist walked in looked at my teeth for probably no longer than 20 seconds and apparently found $800 worth of problems. I usually go to a very professional dentist who is very educated and has been working on my teeth for years. And the thins this man told me today my normal dentist has never mentioned, things I needed done that I’ve never heard of. They found $2000 worth of made up things my mom needed done on her mouth as well. I am 18 and I’m growing wisdom teeth. I had 2 teeth extracted around 3 years ago for braces and was told that my wisdom teeth should have more than enough room to grow in by more than one specialist. The dentist at this office saw my wisdom teeth and told me I had to have them extracted today and that he would do it for me. I could list a whole books worth of terrible things I would rather have done to me then have the man at this dentistry pull one of my teeth out. I told him no and he said the reason I needed them out was because “ there pointless, there’s just no need to have them”, I have never had pain from them or never have they gave me problems. Do not go here EVER by any circumstances plz do more research and find a better place, this place will hurt you if you let them do the made up things they tell you that you need and then make you pay thousands of dollars for it.

Brought my kids to get cleanings and x-rays. We waited almost 2 hours till we were seen. They didn't want me to go in the room with my children because the rooms are too small. Our next appt the lady in the front came and told me the dental hygienist didn't show up so my son couldn't get his fillings. Why not call me and reschedule beforehand??? Well after waiting a hour they called my son back and I went with him this time. The doctor gave me a seat in the room and left for awhile. I started looking around the room in disgust. The sink was filthy. Their equipment was raggedy wires sticking out of the tools, the floor was dirty. It was very unpleasant. When he returned with his helper she asked me to sit in the hallway because there was no room. What! Okay so I took my chair and sat in the hallway while my son was getting worked on.
