Dr. Kyandukhta Kalantari, aka Dr. Kay, as she is affectionately known to her patients and team, says her favorite aspect of general dentistry practice is everything! She feels privileged to help others enjoy healthier mouths, improved wellness, and confidence in their smiles. Her journey to a Doctor of Dental Surgery began with a natural inclination, at an early age, for science and medicine. She attended Phoenix College for Dental Hygiene, then completed a Bachelor of Science undergraduate program at the Dr. D.Y. Patil Dental College & Hospital. Dr. Kay earned her DDS at New York University Medical School, with special attention to dental implantology and cosmetic dentistry, as well as general dentistry.
Since 2007, Dr. Kay has applied a gentle manner and fluency in English and Farsi (she hails from Mumbai, India), to put patients of all ages at ease in her chair. She has served the Kennesaw area since 2008 and now has an office in Lilburn, as well. She also performs volunteer work at the Ben Massell Dental Clinic. Dr. Kay is enthusiastic about keeping up with the latest developments in the fast-changing field of dentistry. She pursues annual continuing education and maintains membership in a number of professional associations.
Dr. Kay has made Marietta in Cobb County her home. She has three wonderful children in college and two beautiful dogs to keep her company when she is not at the dental office. Dr. Kay enjoys reading, cooking, playing tennis, and watching movies.
