When a dental practice earns a spot not once but multiple times in Atlanta’s most prestigious publications, that recognition tells a story no marketing campaign can manufacture. Editorial coverage is earned, and what the press has said about us reflects something the Atlanta community has clearly taken notice of.
We are Ponce Dental Studio, founded by Dr. Frank Nia and Dr. Farid Toub, and our approach to what we call “boutique, private, relational” dentistry has drawn consistent attention from regional media. You can explore our growing list of appearances on our media page, which reflects years of work building something truly different in Atlanta dental care.
Our Coverage in Modern Luxury
Modern Luxury, one of the most widely circulated luxury lifestyle media networks in the United States, has featured Ponce Dental Studio across multiple formats and properties. That kind of multi-platform recognition from a single high-profile publisher reflects the reputation we have worked hard to build in Atlanta’s most discerning communities.
A Full-Page Ad and “Top 8” Spotlight
We secured a full-page advertisement in Modern Luxury, putting our practice in front of the publication’s affluent Atlanta readership. That visibility was reinforced when we were also included in Modern Luxury’s “Top 8: Live the Good Life” spotlight, a curated section showcasing the best products, events, and opportunities from featured partners. The listing described us as a practice redefining dental care by combining advanced technology with personalized, compassionate service, and highlighted our Buckhead location at 3189 Maple Drive NE as a destination where innovation meets comfort.
Doctor Profiles in Modern Luxury Medicine and Doctors
Both Dr. Nia and Dr. Toub were profiled individually in Modern Luxury Medicine and Doctors. Dr. Nia, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine and a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, was recognized for his relational approach to care and his history of helping more than 500,000 patients as co-founder of one of the Southeast’s fastest-growing dental groups. Dr. Toub, also a University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine graduate, was highlighted for his rigorous residency in implant dentistry and IV sedation at the University of Nevada, as well as his reputation for innovative, meticulous, patient-centered care.
Two Editorial Features on Our Buckhead Expansion
Modern Luxury published two separate editorial pieces about our Buckhead expansion, and together they paint a clear picture of the philosophy driving our practice.
The first feature, “Inside Ponce Dental Studio’s New Buckhead Outpost,” was written by Lauren Finney Harden and published in January 2026. It traced Dr. Nia’s path to dentistry, rooted in his move to Atlanta in 1998 and his connection to the dental world through his wife, Dr. Bahar Nia. It also outlined the partners’ remarkable career managing roughly 450 doctors across 250 offices before stepping back from large-scale practice in 2022. When we returned to dentistry, we did so on our own terms, with a clear goal: care for patients over 10, 20, and 30 years rather than treating interactions as transactions. Research published by the National Institutes of Health confirms what we have long believed: communication, trust, and long-term patient relationships are among the strongest drivers of patient satisfaction and loyalty in dental care.
“Inside Ponce Dental Studio’s Buckhead Expansion and Its People-First Philosophy” was written by Erin Kain and published later that same month. This feature gave Dr. Nia space to describe the Buckhead expansion in his own words. He noted that having lived in the Buckhead community for 16 years, caring for his friends, family, and neighbors felt like a natural progression. He described our studio as “large, airy, and calming, designed to feel more like a luxury spa than a traditional dental office.” The editorial also highlighted our commitment to services like cosmetic dentistry, full-arch dental implants, and full-mouth reconstruction, all available under one roof.
What the Coverage Says About the Way We Practice
Press attention at this level does not happen by accident. Modern Luxury reaches readers who demand more from the businesses they choose, and the editorial framing around our practice has consistently pointed to a few defining qualities.
Technology That Sets Us Apart
Across every feature, our investment in cutting-edge tools is a recurring theme. We have been recognized for staying current with the latest diagnostic imaging, AI-driven technology, digital impressions, and our in-house lab capabilities. These tools allow our team to deliver precise, same-day results that would require multiple visits or outside referrals at most other practices.
Relationships at the Center of Everything
Dr. Nia’s quote from the Modern Luxury editorial captures our approach well: “We go to synagogue or church with you, we know you in the community, we’re accountable to you.” That kind of statement is not typical dental marketing language, and that is exactly the point. The media has responded to the authenticity behind it. You can see the results of that care firsthand in our smile transformations gallery.
A Practice Rooted in the Buckhead Community
Both editorials emphasized that our Buckhead location was not simply a business expansion. For Dr. Nia, it was a return to the neighborhood where his family has been rooted for 16 years. That community connection has resonated with Modern Luxury’s audience, and it shapes how we present ourselves: as neighbors providing care, not a corporate entity delivering a service.
