Bruce A Edelstein, DDS

I was referred to him by my regular dentist. I also asked my dentist friend and both of them gave Dr Edelstein high reviews and accolades. I was told Dr Edelstein was the top in GA especially for anything Perio related. So I went to him and he gave me several procedural options for my situation, then he gave his recommendation and why, and made me feel comfortable about the choice that we were making. The admin staff also gave me a few payment options which were great as well. This office is not a hole in the wall as some other dentists office in Atlanta. If you want courtesy, professionalism, and a kind staff, bundled with high quality of work, then this is the place.

Dr. Edelstein makes sure that I don’t feel any pain during my root planing and scaling (which, by the way, is a very bloody three-​hour procedure that is performed by the dental hygienist). However there is an extravagantly high price to pay for the surprisingly PAINLESS procedures here. Also, I was very dissatisfied with the high price of the consultations/​exams/​evaluations and the EXTREME BREVITY of the time that the periodontist spent with me.
At Dr. Edelstein’s, I received the following treatments:
$ 155 initial periodontal evaluation and xray
$ 2090 scaling and root planing on all four quadrants
$ 169 simple cleaning (periodontal maintenance and exam)
$ 155 flap surgery (osseous surgery) consultation
I decided not to get the:
$ 6180 flap surgery (osseous surgery) on all four quadrants
$ 1000 bone grafting (@ $ 500 for each site needing a bone graft)
$ 5000 implants (@ $ 2500 for each tooth implant)
The ridiculously high costs of the flap surgery, bone grafting, and tooth implants were the deal breaker for me. I’m not an attorney yet, and this office does not provide a student discount! I wish the office could have given information to me regarding the cost of my entire proposed treatment plan up front, instead of making me wait until the next $ 155 examination/​consultation to determine the cost of the next immediate step. It’s time to find a new periodontist to complete my perio treatment. Everything is way too expensive here.
The only reason why this office gets 4 stars is because of its EXCELLENT PERIODONTAL WORK. Also, the office is clean, and its lobby is rather swanky. There are complimentary granola bars and bottles of water in the lobby. And the office will validate your parking, so that you get free parking.
You also receive a complimentary toothbrush, floss, and toothpaste with the periodontal maintenance (simple cleaning).
