When I discovered my girl, Lana, had a fractured tooth, I panicked and called vets around. I talked to Annie, who explained everything thoroughly and communicated with me multiple times prior to our visit. She was also patient with me being indecisive on what to do with Lana. We are so glad we had Lana taken care of by Annie and Dr. Beckman. Super professional and communicative and we got Lana’s teeth taken care of with no complications or issues. Annie was also very prompt in helping us get the necessary documents for our pet insurance claim. Thank you again for taking care of Lana!!

I recently took my cat Schroeder in for treatment of a resurgence of stomatitis that had been dormant for several years. He received excellent, thoughtful care. Both Dr. Beckman and Annie have been personable, responsive, and helpful throughout the process, which I have really appreciated!

When faced with an uncertain diagnosis for kittens dental health we found Dr. Beckman and Annie. They made this process and decisions for care so relatable and helped us through the process for a short and long term plan. Their professionalism and time made all of the difference. We know our kitten is in the best of hands.

We are so glad we found Dr. Beckman and Annie to treat our cat with gum disease. They were very professional and took the time to answer all of our questions to ease our concerns. We are very pleased with the work they did for us and recommend them without any hesitation.

My vet recommended Dr Beckman for dental issues with my mother’s dog he was unable to do. The whole experience was great. Annie was very nice and she took the time to always answer all my questions. Itsy was taken care of during the Covid craziness and I was so thankful that they were able to do this and not have to postpone her procedure to a later date. Would recommend!! Thanks again for taking good care of my Mom’s furbaby.

We were referred to Dr. Beckman and Anne by our main vet and it could not have gone better! I was beyond nervous when I was told my dog has cracked teeth with root exposure that would need specialist attention. I am obsessed with her and couldn’t fathom the idea of something being potentially dangerous to her health and so we were going only going to go to the best we could. Our experience was quick, easy, we were provided with options, given kind and honest advice regarding treatment, and left very satisfied. Our little girl is all better and we are so relieved!! Thank you. I would recommend them to anyone!

This was our first time visiting a veterinary dentist. I was thoroughly impressed with the entire office. Anne was very calming and helpful, Dr. Beckman was extremely informative, friendly and reassuring. Highly recommended to anyone whose furry family members need care.

Dr Beckman and the entire staff are top notch. They explain in detail what needs to be done, and do not pressure you in any way.
Annie is extremely knowledgeable and such a pleasure to be around.
This is the only place I will take my fur babies in the future for dental care.

I can never thank Dr. Brett Beckman and staff enough for their professional dental care for my german shepherd, Simba, 11 yrs and my brother’s doberman, Tasha, 2 yrs. I felt as confident with their team as I do for my own personal dental care team. They scheduled both dogs on the same day since we had such a long drive and we were able to get them home same day. There was some major work done on both and those kids sprang right back. Extremely clean facility and outstanding, caring staff. Thank you so much Dr. Beckman and Annie for making all four of us feel so worry free. You will always be my go to animal dental people. PS: the staff will provide you with a play by play explanation of what is going on, alternative choices and recommendations. I strongly urge that you listen. I would totally be comfortable to drop my best friend and say do what is necessary and know that I could trust that I and my pet would get a fair shake and the best dental care available. Integrity is such a rare find these days. Thank you so much you guys.

My cat got a full mouth extraction for Stomatitis and I am thankful to say she has made a complete recovery. No more signs of the disease and she has been able to eat and live a completely normal life on no pain medicine or steroids. Don’t hesitate to choose the best possible doctor for your pet. Dr. Beckman is it! And of course Ms. Annie is wonderful as well.

One of our dogs (Mia) had a dental situation that our local vet simply could not handle. They referred us to Dr. Beckman in Atlanta. The doc and Annie did a fantastic job in not only taking amazing care of Mia, but in answering all our questions & concerns. Within just a couple of days after the surgery, Mia seemed her normal self and looking in her mouth you could barely see that any work had even been done. Annie was terrific in following up with us several times after the surgery to check on Mia. These folks are wonderful.

I was impressed with the time that everyone took with us to make sure that we were in agreement with the course of action. The team also went the extra mile to make sure and let us know that there were other issues that needed to be addressed, when they were encountered them during the surgery. I would definitely recommend this team to take care of those unexpected incidents that require a veterinary surgical solution.

Champ, our recently-rescued 7-year-old blind male boxer, came to us with a severely discolored left lower canine and concomitant foul odor. After our vet examined him, she referred us to a veterinary oral surgeon, as the tooth was fractured both vertically and horizontally and there was questionable involvement of his lower jawbone. Seeking the best possible solution to restore our new family member to optimal health, we found Dr Brett Beckman, the only board-certified veterinary dentist in Georgia.
We communicated with Annie Mills, his licensed technician, via e-mail. She responded promptly, and set us up for evaluation and extraction during Dr Beckman’s next stay in Atlanta. Her instructions and pre-visit workup requirements were straightforward and complete. We had bloodwork performed by our vet, and authorized our boy’s records for release to Dr Beckman.
We couldn’t be more pleased with Dr Beckman’s office and staff. The problem tooth was extracted, his entire mouth carefully examined, cleaned, and another fractured tooth repaired. Champ was discharged the same day with pain and anti-inflammatory medications, activity restriction, and two weeks of soft foods to ensure optimal healing of the extraction site. He has recovered well, recently resuming his dry kibble diet with gusto!
We highly recommend Dr Beckman and his staff, and look forward to seeing them again in a year for routine follow-up evaluation.

This office was very clean and professional. Annie explained everything that we should expect and was able to answer all of my questions. They took great care of our sweet Henry!

They did a good job the only issue was the quote went from 2800.00 to 3800.00 as my dog was in the procedure. They were nice and discounted it down $200.00 to $3600 and I knew this was going to be expense dental work. Tucker is doing well after having seven teeth removed. He is learning how to eat differently. Dr Beckman and his assistant Annie were very professional and very nice to work with. I would definitely recommand them.

My little Yorkie has been in Kidney failure since she was born (kidney’s never fully developed ) Dr. Beckman and his team were the only Vets that said they could clean her teeth with no problem! She was never expected to live past two years …….but now she’s six years old, so I knew I had to trust someone. They did a great job, she’s doing fine 3 weeks later and I couldn’t be happier….they’re the Best! I would recommend them to anyone especially if your dog has medical problems!

A professional, yet very pleasant practice. My cat, Angelo, began seeing Dr. Beckman for periodontal disease and tooth resorption in early 2014. Each of his 4 appointments over the past 4+ years was easy to schedule, Annie was easy to reach, he was seen on time and everything that was to be done was fully explained. Dr. Beckman provides excellent surgical care, and Angelo’s post-op pain was managed carefully.
I would recommend Dr. Beckman without hesitation.

A very professional place with the most caring and awesome staff. I would not let anybody else perform any dental procedures except Dr. Beckman. My “cat” Princess had her teeth cleaned and a tooth extraction twice in the past 2 years and she did amazing! If you want to have the best dental vet care you MUST come here. Thank you bunches Dr. Beckman and Nurse Annie. We will see you next year.

Wonderful. Beautiful, clean facilities. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Dr. Beckman and Ms. Annie made me feel comfortable and informed about my pets individual needs. I have 3 other cats who will all be going to Dr. Beckman for all of their dental care.

After original diagnosis, from our vet, for major dental surgery on my 16 lb Boston, Vinnie, , I contacted A.V.D. and spoke with Annie. She was extremely compassionate for my concern of Vinnie going under Anesthesia for this serious procedure. Annie explained carefully how she and Dr Beckman take precautions for these situations which put me somewhat at ease. Upon arrival, I was treated very professionally and cordial. Personal attention by Annie and Dr Beckman was very thorough and also explained how Vinnie would be anesthetized and assured he would be alert quite quickly after surgery. I’m sure I was in worse condition than my baby and everyone at A.V.D. not only gave Vinnie the absolute best care and attention possible, but gave me a great deal of confidence in this very fine practice. I was contacted personally by Annie for followup on Vinnie’s recovery. There is no hesitation on my part to recommend Dr Beckman and his very competent team of professionals to any and all looking for these services. Looking forward to Vinnie’s six month visit for cleaning and experience a fine group of professionals.

A+ Professional operation. Prompt timely communications via phone and email including after-hours and late evening. Saw us exactly on time, answered all questions, and cost estimates were accurate. Provided initial written post surgical report when picking up our pet after surgery, and followed up with detailed report (including photos) sent to our referring vet and ourselves! Very compassionate and caring folks that are true experts at dental veterinary care. Our pet’s recovery went exactly as Dr Beckman and Annie predicted and he’s a very happer camper again.

My experience with Dr. Beckman and staff was professional, compassionate and comforting from beginning to end – I would look to their office again if any pet I owned needed dental attention.

Annie was also particularly amazing – always communicating and following up

My 17-year-old cat started showing serious pain signs related to his mouth. I was able to get him in to see Dr. Beckman that week, a coupke days ago. Dr. Beckman took the time to explain what he thought might be happening, though we wouldn’t be sure until his plaque was cleaned and he’d had X-rays. He allayed my fears about putting my old boy under anesthesia, and I felt much better about it after talking with him.

Annie called me once my cat, Gator, was under and had a diagnosis and treatment–in his case, removing four teeth due to resorptive lesions. He’s come through great. I had discharge instructions and, as a nervous cat parent, have been able to call or text her with questions about how he’s doing, since this is new to me.

The procedure was very pricey, but Annie encouraged me to get a CareCredit, which I have six interest-free months to pay off. I’m glad I didn’t have the full price up-front to factor into my decision. I feel like Gator gas gotten the best care he could, and I got what I paid for with Dr. Beckman and Annie. I don’t want to take any chances especially with such a senior kitty.

my lovely frenchie needed tongue surgery recently-so worried about her but Dr. Beckman’s team worked well to keep me informed, keep me calm and organized. Her surgery / process thereof was efficient and what customer health care service with your loved ones should be. The care here is top of the line. I saw Dr. Beckman as a consult on “what to do about her tongue, as it was injured and not healing.” needed to do a biopsy as well. I received an estimate to prepare, specific instructions for surgery day, confirmation, and was approached each step of the process from consult, surgery day and thereafter with care, concern and specific directions. I was kept calm and organized. Results were given in a timely fashion; I further had an insurance (claim) for my pet and that was equally approached very timely, efficiently, seamlessly. The office works as a team and cares about their patients and outcomes. I know that even where outcomes may not have been okay, I was referred to and had my pet with the “best there can be” in veterinary dentistry.

Dr. Beckman and his staff had us feeling at ease as soon as we walked thru his door in Atlanta. He took the time to listen to our questions and never made us feel like we were asking too many or dumb questions. We will return to him for as long as he is in practice and I highly recommend Dr. Beckman and his team. Thank you so much, Dr. Beckman!!

I am a small animal general practitioner (veterinarian) in the middle GA area. When my Boxer (Jules) needed surgery for gingival hyperplasia, I wanted only the best qualified veterinarian to perform the procedure needed. I cannot speak more highly of Dr. Beckman, Annie (RVT) and the additional staff (anesthesia tech). They were incredibly kind, thorough in explaining all that was going to take place, and provided updates during the day. The surgical result was outstanding! Both Dr. Beckman and Annie contacted me post-op to confirm Jules was recovering well and Dr. Beckman was quick to return emails when I had concerns and questions. I will be referring all clients with dental/oral surgical needs to Dr. Beckman in the future.

My senior dachshund had a persistent nasal infection for over a year. I took him to multiple vets, had a rhinoscopy done, and in the process he had a couple of dental cleanings and extractions, still it persisted and no one knew what it was. Finally my current vet noticed a fistula in his mouth and referred me to Dr. Beckman. Apparently he was getting food stuck in his nasal cavity and it was becoming infected. Dr. Beckman was able to immediately diagnose my dog and he showed me all the problems he was having on the x-rays. It unfortunately led to my dog having all but 2 teeth extracted and closure of the holes. Two months later my dog is doing great, no nasal infection and his breath is great! Don’t ever let anyone tell you that dogs just sometimes have bad breath. I believed it for 8 years, and my dog suffered bc noone could see what was going on. this practice is wonderful, they know what they are doing and I highly recommend taking your furbaby here and skipping your everyday vet for dental exams. Your furbaby will thank you and it will save you a lot of money in the long run.

My 7 yr old shitzu, Teddy, suffered from bone loss and bone decay in his jaw due to a traumatic injury about 3 years ago. When he showed signs of it really bothering him, I took him to his vet who did an eval and teeth cleaning, which is when she discovered that he would need a mandibulectomy (removal of part of the jaw). She not only recommended Dr. Beckman, but she called him personally and let them know I would be in contact as soon as possible. When I called Annie and Dr. Beckman in a panic, they were very quick to get us in and have Teddy back for surgery. They were extremely caring and confident that they could once and for all have Teddy feeling better and ultimately pain-free. Annie was so sweet to call me while he was still in surgery just to let me know how well he was doing and again once it was all over(as well as answer any “crazy mom questions” that I had after hours). They did an AMAZING job at fixing both the functionality as well as the appearance of Teddy’s little mouth. I couldn’t speak highly enough of their practice, I will definitely be recommending them to anyone I know needing dental work for their pets!

Very Satisfied with the dental care that Annie and Dr Beckmann provided for my girl(Sassy/Corgi). She had a tumor in her mouth last year. Because of Dr Beckman she is doing fine with a great one year checkup.

All I can say at this moment after having my dog being treated by Dr. Beckman and A. Mills is that I will continue with her dental care with them. I love my dog and even though the treatment was pricey, I was satisfied with the results. They are really professional and caring.

i have the utmost trust in Dr. Beckman and his staff and will always be grateful for his expertise, patience, and communications. Thanks, Atlanta Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery!

Highest recommendation. My anatolian had fractured a fang that was going to require major surgery to remove with possible negative consequences. Thankfully, Dr. Beckman performed a root canal and placed a crown on the tooth. That was 2 years ago this crown is every bit as good as my own crowns.

Dr. Beckman and Annie are an amazing team! The quality of care provided was exceptional and we never felt nervous about leaving our dog in their care. We adopted a terrier mix, Eva, who had a severe underbite and was seemingly very uncomfortable. After consulting with Dr. Beckman, we decided to have him remove six upper teeth to avoid further damage of her soft palate per his recommendation. I did wonder if that was necessary at first, but she was so much happier and visibly more comfortable almost immediately after the procedure. They sent us home with a myriad of information on her post-surgery care and Annie even spoke to us To answer a few questions after we were home and eased our nerves. We have friends who have seen Dr. Beckman and Annie in Orlando and they have only raved about their experiences too. Overall, they are top notch and made us feel very comfortable throughout the entire process and Eva is a much healthier and happier pup after seeing them! We will definitely only go to Dr. Beckman in the future for any dental needs.

I know better than most people how challenging proper veterinary dental care and oral surgeon can be. Most veterinarians just don’t do a good job in this area, and even when they do offer comprehensive basic dental services, dealing with severe mouth disease problems in these tiny creatures often needs a specialist. A wrong move can make a situation worse or even break an animal’s jaw in some cases. I have taken several of my pets to Dr. Beckman because my regular veterinarian isn’t equipped to provide the level of care that I want for my family. In some cases, the pets had serious systemic medical problems and Dr. Beckman’s experience and expertise meant that they were under anesthesia for as little time as possible and they sailed through the procedure each time. Yes, Dr. Beckman’s services are going to cost more than most general practice veterinarians, but the value that you get is well worth the investment.

I brought my police dog in after being referred by my vet. My guy had broken a tooth (his bottom left incisor) during bite training. I was concerned that the usual ‘just pull it’ attitude would prevail and my dog would be left with a weakened, hollowed jaw. Annie and Dr. Beckman explained everything in terms I could understand. Aside from waiting for the appointment until they were back in Atlanta, my experience was great. They performed a root canal and placed a crown. They made my dog comfortable and I felt like they truly cared about his wellbeing. About a year later, I had to go back when my dog broke another tooth (the top right incisor). Again, they did a root canal and placed a crown. That crown came off during bite training and was lost several months later. I talked to Annie and she said because their work was guaranteed, I would only need to pay for the cost of fabricating a new crown ($300). Once again, a great experience from start to finish. The most recent visit was in January 2016. My dog ate his way out of a metal crate on New Years Eve and lost one of his crowns. The tooth also broke. I spoke to Annie, who was able to see us the next week. Though I had the missing crown (which they would re-attach for free) the tooth being broken meant a new crown had to be fabricated and the tooth would need to be elongated for the crown to attach well. I elected to just have the tooth sealed and not put my dog through the whole process of trying to get the crown to work ($600). I never felt pressured into any procedures and I always felt like my dog was their number one concern. Yes, they cost a little more than some places, but in my opinion, you get what you pay for and my dog is worth it. I would recommend Dr. Beckman to anyone I know who works a K9 or has a fur kid who needs dental work.

Dr. Beckman and his staff treated two of my elderly cats that had major dental issues. The cats needed teeth cleaning and removal of some infected teeth as well. Both cats were sedated for the procedure, and recovered quickly after the work was performed. My cats are doing very well now, and I highly recommend Dr. Beckman and his staff for quality dental care

Very impressed with the care Caleb received. Anne and Dr. Beckman were extremely compassionate, professional and caring throughout the entire process. They answered every question I had, and I had complete trust in them when I dropped Caleb off. I would definitely recommend them to anybody!

When I first adopted my little Pomeranian she was in rough shape. Savannah was used as a backyard breeding dog and was very neglected. Her mouth was in the worst shape. I wanted the best for my little Savannah so I took her to see Dr. Beckman. My mom had taken her two Pomeranians to see him and had nothing but the best to say about him. I was very nervous because I knew that her teeth were in bad condition and she would need a lot of extractions. Plus, she was only 4 ½ pounds and had just come out of a really bad situation. The idea of putting her under anesthesia for a big procedure had me worried. But when I took her to see Dr. Beckman my worries were alleviated. He was so kind with her and his staff was incredibly attentive to her needs. Between Dr. Beckman and Annie all of my questions were answered so that I understood exactly what would be happening. They understood that I was a nervous mom and did everything they could to assure me she would be taken care of. I was not disappointed. Dr. Beckman took dental radiographs and let me know what he found before he started the procedure. Sadly, all but six of her teeth needed to be extracted. Dr. Beckman performed the procedure skillfully and quickly so that she was under anesthesia for much less time than I anticipated. Savannah made a full recovery and the day after her procedure she was already eating better and acting more playful. I was so happy with how she was taken care of. I really can’t thank Dr. Beckman, Annie, and the rest of the team for everything they have done for Savannah and me. Since her surgery she has gained another half pound and eats like a little monster. I would recommend Dr. Beckman to anyone who has a pet that needs dental work or other oral surgery. Thank you again Dr. Beckman, you gave my little girl new life, we are forever grateful!

Dr Beckman and Annie are amazing. i was so nervous when i walked in with my little Barkley, (Weiner dog). they took the time to reassure me that everything was going to be ok, and throughly the procure.
thank you so much.

My six-year-old German Shepherd traumatically broke his lower canine and incisor. My vet recommended I consult with a veterinary dentist (I didn’t know there was such a thing). She called first and set the stage. When appointment time came and I entered their facility in Lake Mary, Florida, I was taken aback by the interior design of the office. The ante room was furnished with living room quality furniture and the two waiting rooms were similarly furnished–with leather couches, side tables, lamps, and an easy chair. The nurse took Duke back for an exam by the doctor while she talked to me about Duke’s care.
The doctor came out and we explored various options: removal of the canine tooth, root canal or implant. We selected a root canal. In human terms, I guess it would be called out-patient surgery. In by 9, out by 4. I picked Duke up and of course, I think he was angry with me because he ignored me and he was a little dopey from the meds used during the surgery, There were no after effects of the surgery. When we got him home, he slept most of the remainder of the day but the next day, he was back to his old playful self.
The level of care he received was as good as, if not better than human care. Their confirmation, pre and post-op instructions, and billing procedures were more efficient than most hospitals and doctor’s offices on the human side. Duke was treated as if he was their only patient.
I would highly recommend them. They are warm. They are friendly. They are efficient and they genuinely care about their patients. Their facility is in an office park and is warm and inviting.

I can’t say enough about Dr. Beckman and his team. We saw him yesterday with our little Pomeranian, and everything about the experience was state of the art. Despite our daily brushing efforts, our little guy has a long history of trouble with his teeth. Dr. Beckman was the first provider who came up with a plan to save the most critical teeth, and knew advanced techniques that we couldn’t find anywhere else. Our little guy had a much faster recovery after the procedure than ever before — their careful use of anesthesia and pain blockers made him very comfortable, but remarkably less groggy and disoriented than normal. Their electronic charting system is terrific, and allowed me to see clear before and after images showing the work they had done. Tammi and Annie are stellar (very responsive, and their wonderful bedside manner put our little guy at ease right away). I can’t recommend this office enough!

My 13 year old Maltese was diagnosed with chronic leukemia. Her vet noticed several of her teeth were in bad shape and strongly suggested I take her to AVD. I first spoke with Annie who is amazing! Her empathy for my fuzzy childs health and my … More

My golden retriever loves to chew! Sadly, she cracked her tooth from chewing on a hard bone. Dr. Beckman, Annie, and the rest of the staff were great! Sadie now has a crown and no longer chews the wrong bones! I am very grateful for the wonderful care delivered with compassion that she received. I highly recommend Dr. Beckman and his staff!

Tigger, my 18 y/o cat had trouble eating and pawed at his mouth. Dr. Beckman and staff treated him with excellent care and knowledge of his certain problem. Tigger is now content and eating and will live now painless and in peace. I will feel confident taking any of my cats to Dr. Beckman in the future.

Dr. Beckman is one of the top veterinary dental specialist in the country and certainly the best in Atlanta. Being a referring veterinarian, I have great confidence in his abilities and level of care. I also have taken two of my own dogs to him and was extremely … More

I had a young cat diagnosed with feline stomatitis. The cat was in agony. Each treatment option we tried failed. The next option was a full tooth extraction. I was a little worried. My local vet referred me to Dr Beckman. I did a little research and We hit the jackpot for veterinary dentistry. Dr Beckman is the expert in the field.

WI recently referred a special case to Dr. Beckman and his wonderful crew. They did a great job in all areas from owner care and information to patient care. I also felt informed as the veterinarian. If your faithful friend needs dental work, and you want that special touch…you could not do better than Atlanta Veterinary Dentistry!

Dr. Beckman & Annie Mills are wonderful!! They genuinely care about all their patients while putting the welfare of my dog first. My dog is a small breed prone to dental problems. Prior to Dr. Beckman, I had been to so many vets who claim to know animal dentistry but they all wanted to perform unnecessary extractions and never discussed preventative care.

Dr. Beckman is dedicated to the oral care of animals. I am very appreciative that his practice serves the Atlanta area. People come from all over the US to seek Dr. Beckman’s guidance and rightfully so. Annie will walk through, step-by-step, to ensure that you have the best products and methods for your pet’s long-term oral health.

Took my older Chihuahua here who has advanced periodontal disease. I was very nervous and didn’t want to put my puppy through the surgery for six months with other dentist. I found Dr. Beckman through referral from my vet who said he was one of the best, and one of only 40 in the World with his unique qualifications. We decided to go through with procedure and we are very pleased. My dog needed 12 teeth removed and major cleaning and infection. She was in no pain when I picked her up as they give pain patch which last five days so no meds or antibiotics (as they use IV drip during surgery) so nothing to fuss with after surgery. They numb mouth using unique meds so they don’t have to keep pet under full sedation which set my mind more at ease. My pet is doing well, seems comfortable, is eating four hours after surgery and acting pretty normal. The whole procedure lasted an hour and she was home to me by three pm same day I took in her that morning. They were very patient, kind and caring to both me and my pet. I would highly recommend Dr. Beckman and staff and will be bringing all my pets to him in the future for dental care.

Dr. Beckman and Annie Mills are the BEST! Our little Pomeranian is prone to teeth problems, and they’ve done an extraordinary job of keeping him comfortable and preserving as many teeth as possible. Annie is very responsive, making it a breeze to schedule appointments. They use a state of the art electronic charting system, which makes seeing and understanding the work that our little pup needs much easier. They are careful not to overuse anesthesia, making our dog’s recovery time from surgery faster than we’ve ever seen before. We can’t say enough about Dr. Beckman and his stellar staff!

Dr. Beckman is the best in the area, no question! We asked 4 different veterinarians for recommendations when our cat needed a root canal and he was the overwhelming recommendation. We are very, very, very attached to our cat and would only trust him with the absolute best. His surgery and recovery were a breeze and we could not be more grateful.
