If I absolutely have to go to the dentist I’m happy to go to see Dr. Blankenship ‼️. He’s a very good dentist and it hardly ever hurts. He really loads me up with Novocain shots that hurt but only for 5 seconds. The lady who cleans my teeth does an excellent job and I’m always glad to get my teeth cleaned. It’s never boring there as Dr. Blank is always full of funny stories about his adventures taking wild life photos….. his hobby. The photos he takes are actually very good and the stories he tells are great ‼️

The people that work here are the most kind and wonderful people I have met in Georgia. Very professional but friendly it’s like they have known you forever. Dr Blankenship is simply the best and fun to talk with, he always has such funny stories. The staff is a reflection of Dr Blankenship. I always feel so comfortable when I visit their office.

I recently switched to Athens dental associates after being very unhappy at my former dentist office. I’m so glad I did and only wished I switched sooner. Everyone from the front desk to the dental hygienist to Dr Blankenship is so kind and genuinely listens to you. They make you feel like a person not just a patient on the schedule for the day. Highly recommend !

Dr. Blankenship has been my dentist for more than 20 years. I've watched his hair turn white and vice-versa. I have the greatest confidence in his dental skills. He is very thorough, considerate and also has fun stories about his travels and the concerts that he attends. I've had extractions, fillings, crowns and a bridge taken care of in his dental chair. He is very honest and treats his staff well. I recommend him enthusiastically whether you are looking for a new dental practice or you are considering changing dentists. He'll take good care of you.

These folks are always friendly and thoughtful of their guests' experience. Going to the dentist isn't something most people look forward to, so it's really great when you can find a place can provide a good environment. Also, the owls on their sign are fantastic.

I love this dentist and his office. Amy, his hygienist, is the best I have experienced in my lifetime (I'm 67 years old). She is extremely detailed and listens to your issues! Thank you Dr Blankenship, Amy, and team!!

Dr Blankenship is a very good dentist. He spends time to examine my teeth. He asks questions about whether a tooth hurts or whether the bridge is fitting well. He does not ignore any complaints but just go ahead and make necessary adjustments.

A nice friendly team from front to back. I always have had a scare of dentist from childhood nightmare. This team does what they do to make me feel relaxed. Explain everything, general conversation with some smiles and laughter to get your mind off the work. They make me feel like family.
