A small practice, on purpose.
Two dentists, one hygienist, one person at the desk. Small enough that you see the same people every visit, and that anyone here can tell you what something costs without checking.
Why it’s run this way
Dr. Okafor spent eight years in a large group practice. Patients were booked with whichever dentist was free, estimates came from a billing office two states away, and the number on the bill was often a surprise to everyone, including her.
Smile Haven opened in 2016 to do the opposite of that. Prices are on the website. The dentist who examines you treats you. The person who quotes you is the person who takes your payment, and he sits ten feet from the chair.
It means we can’t see three hundred people a week. It means we know the names of the ones we do.
“Dr. Mehta showed me the 3D preview of my teeth before I paid a cent for Invisalign. Fourteen months later they look exactly like it.”
“I’ve been scared of dentists since I was a kid. The nitrous plus Marisol talking me through it — I fell asleep during a deep cleaning.”
The team
Dr. Adaeze Okafor
Dentist and owner
DDS, Meharry Medical College. Georgia licence DN 018442.
Adaeze opened Smile Haven in 2016 after eight years in a large group practice where she rarely saw the same patient twice. She does most of the implant and root canal work here, and she’s the one who insists every price is on the website.
Dr. Rohan Mehta
Dentist
DMD, Augusta University Dental College of Georgia. Georgia licence DN 021907.
Rohan joined in 2021 and handles most of the Invisalign, veneer and whitening cases. Patients who are nervous ask for him by name — he’ll talk you through every step before he picks up a tool.
Marisol Vega
Dental hygienist
RDH, Georgia State University.
Marisol has cleaned teeth in Atlanta for eleven years. She is gentle, she is fast, and she will not lecture you about flossing more than once.
Tom Bradley
Patient coordinator
Tom answers the phone, checks your insurance before you arrive, and writes up every estimate. If a number on your bill doesn’t match what he told you, he wants to hear about it.
