  • "My daughter and I love this place. Finding a good dentist is hard and when I moved to Newnan two years ago I searched high and low for the right place. I found A Better Day Dental by chance and read all the great reviews which made my decision to try them out that much easier. Since day one, everyone there has been amazing. They are a great group of people and have become part of our family. I would suggest this dentist to anyone who has any sorts of hesitations. Dr. Smaltz and all the girls will make you feel comfortable and at ease."

We have been going to ABD since my daughter was born--she’s almost 6 now, and we’ve since moved over an hour away, we still make the drive every time because we can’t imagine going anywhere else.

Everyone is important to them."
