Why People Love
Yvonne E. Beckford DDS, PC

Stephen S.
5-Star Emergency Dentist in Tucker – Fast, Personalized Care. I came in with a severe toothache. My entire face was hurting, and my pain was at an 8. I had called around and couldn’t find anyone who would see me, then I remembered Dr. Yvonne Beckford. They got me in within an hour. Within that same visit, my pain dropped from an 8 to a 2. I could finally eat again. What stood out most was the difference in care compared to larger offices. This is a true private practice—more personalized, more attentive, and you’re treated like a person, not just a number. They actually know your history and take the time to help you. I drove from downtown Atlanta to Tucker—only about 22 minutes—and it was absolutely worth it. If you’re dealing with a dental emergency and need fast relief, I highly recommend Dr. Beckford and her team.
Sandra T.
Great experience with my favorite and ONLY Dentist. She knows and understands me well. My association with Dr. Beckford began over 20 years ago—during a dental emergency. I had been referred to other providers, but the experience and communication were lacking, and I still needed help. When I found Dr. Beckford’s office, everything changed. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with compassion and a willingness to listen: “Let’s talk about it—I can help you.” She took the time to understand not only what I needed clinically, but also my concerns and fears. Every step of my care was guided by thorough diagnostics and thoughtful planning before any major procedure—and I’ve had quite a few. What sets Dr. Beckford apart is her ability to see the full picture—both oral and overall health—and to partner with her patients throughout the journey. As a nurse, I deeply appreciated her respect for my input and her ability to explain everything in a way that was clear and easy to understand. If she didn’t have an immediate answer, she sought one. If a referral was needed, she made it—but that was rare. My oral health has always been important to me, and having a doctor who truly understands that—and advocates for the best possible outcome—has meant everything. I am incredibly grateful for her intelligence, insight, and commitment to excellence. Dr. Beckford is an exceptional doctor.

I found Dr. Beckford during a dental emergency when I had a very painful broken tooth. I was in serious discomfort and needed help fast. Another dentist told me it would take two weeks to see a specialist, which just wasn’t an option. Dr. Beckford saw me promptly and took care of the problem right away—no waiting, no runaround. The relief was immediate, and the experience was smooth and reassuring during a stressful time. That was over seven years ago, and I’m still a patient today. I’ve also referred several people because I trust the care and consistency. If you’re dealing with a dental emergency or want a dentist who actually listens and acts quickly, I highly recommend Dr. Beckford.

Sophia R.
Awesome experienced staff and place if you have dental emergencies. Respectable and gives advice about dental care and procedures. Straight, direct, and to the point. This is a place where they truly care about your dental health.
Nika W.
I loveeeeeee her charisma and vibe. Saw her for emergency dental care, and she was warm and very genuine. Open to questions and answered everything. I would definitely recommend anyone receiving Orthodontics, Periodontal, or just general dentistry to her practice. She’s the best. Convenient to the expressway. Lots of parking. Fast service
JM W.
I’d forgotten I even had porcelain crowns until one shattered last Friday night. The next morning I reached out to seventeen emergency dentists prior to opening and followed up with most after opening. Dr. Beckford was the only one who returned my call. The few who took my second call didn’t call me back after saying they would see if they could fit me in and circle back. Dr. Beckford is extremely down to earth and has a calm, disarmingly casual demeanor. She is direct, matter-of-fact, and you know exactly what to expect before your service begins. She gave me a comprehensive rundown of my options, clearly explained each one, and left the decision up to me. Good experienced and she really came through for me in a pinch.
Judith S.
I called Dr. Beckford for an abscessed tooth problem after looking for emergency dentistry online. She called me back within an hour of my evening call to her office. She was so reassuring and fun to talk to as well. I especially like how she explains things clearly and in lay terms. She was able to see me the next morning at 9:00 after again reassuring me that I would make it through the night! She and her staff, both assistants and front desk people, were gracious and competent. I quickly put my faith in Dr. Beckford with no hesitation. I might add that I am usually a very nervous dental patient. I am happy to have found her, despite the circumstances, and plan to continue care with her. Thanks, Dr. Bedford!

Gary S.
Dr Beckford professional yet very genuine. I appreciated it so much She took me in as emergency one evening and gave me more than enough time to take care of my tooth when I was in most pain when I couldn't get anybody else she really saved my weekend. I wasn't at the time a regular patient of hers but now I certainly plan to be.
Oswill W.
It’s hard to believe that in a matter of a few months, I will have been a patient of Dr Beckford for two years. I can truly say that within that time, I have benefitted from Dr Beckford’s skill and wonderful “bed side manner” as she transformed my mouth from pain and discomfort, to a pretty smile and zero concern for my dental hygiene. Thank you Dr Beckford and I sincerely hope many others find you, and experience your amazing all round expertise.
Kathryn C.
Dr. Beckford is incredibly talented with all things teeth and as a bonus, she keeps you laughing! There's no judgement in that office -- no guilt, no shame. I've often struggled with follow-through when anything tricky was referred out to a specialist, but there's so much that Dr. Beckford is qualified to do in her office -- and she does it extremely well. I've been going for three years and am so comfortable there.
