I hate the dentist...I LOVED 12 South Dental Studio. I always dislike going to a dental studio because I feel like I am a piggy bank and they look at me as a $$...NOT HERE - Beth was the nicest hygienist that walked me through everything with 0 pressure, the Dr. came in after and was equally as genuine. I called my wife after and was like "I have never been to a dentist that nice." BIG RECOMENDATION from me on this place. Also in the heart of 12 south which was fun to explore right after

What patients say
Can not recommend them enough! They’re so sweet and helpful. Not to mention woman owned! Love that they all wear pink on Mondays. Also a TV on the ceiling while I got my cleaning was a bonus. 10/10 reccomend to anyone looking for a dentist that actually cares and personalizes treatment.
I had an amazing experience at 12 South Dental Studio and can’t recommend them enough! Not only was Alexis (hygienist) extremely gentile and thorough, but she was very knowledgeable and made great recommendations for some of the issues I’ve been having. Dr. Fesmire was fantastic and passionate about getting to the root of the problem. I would highly recommend this dental office to anyone!!
