Dr. Duncan, your dentist in Kennesaw, GA, and his team treasure living and working at our dental office in the historical city of Kennesaw.  The area northwest of Atlanta is a safe and affordable place to raise a family and centrally located in the state of Georgia. Our college community retains the feel of a quiet, suburban town in the Cobb County area with a booming local market and plenty to see and do.

We invite you to discover some of the attractions, activities, and eateries that make Kennesaw the best place to live in Georgia.
