“Dr. Jay Kansal and his staff have been my primary dental care providers for many years now and I couldn't give them a higher recommendation. For his part, Dr. Kansal is a perfectionist, he will not let any detail escape his scrutiny, whether it be a simple filling or root canal and his ability to match colors is un-surpassed. His hygienists staff, who have treated me for many years are the best, especially one, who for not her excellent work could have provided the good Doctor with much more work.”
When not in the office, you can find Dr. Kansal with his wife and twin children (5 years old) enjoying all Atlanta has to offer, or traveling. He's an avid reader and podcast listener (Tony Robbins being a top favorite!), and is constantly on a quest to educate himself.

I graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science, a stepping stone that deepened my understanding of the human body and its intricate connections. This curiosity eventually led me to pursue my Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from Nova Southeastern University.
I have always been captivated by the relationship between oral health and overall wellness. My dedication in this field was recognized when I received an award in Oral Medicine, an honor that highlighted my meticulous attention to detail and my focus on the various pathologies that can impact the entire body.
In my practice, I am committed to providing exceptional dental care that prioritizes both functionality and aesthetics. I believe every patient deserves a warm and welcoming environment where they feel at ease. My goal is to transform each visit into an enjoyable experience, ensuring that patients leave not only with improved health but also with a smile that they are truly confident in.
For me, dentistry is not a one-size-fits-all approach;. I am dedicated to ensuring that each patient receives a unique smile tailored to complement their individual features. By taking the time to understand their specific needs and preferences, I strive to create a personalized treatment plan that enhances their natural beauty while maintaining dental health. Each smile designed reflects the distinctive personality of the individual, making every transformation truly personal and special.
