Dr. David Motoban is Dr. Dave to everyone who sits in his chair. Every smile that leaves this practice is designed, sculpted, and finished by his own hand, one patient at a time.
Dr. Dave’s story begins with Haitian roots and a childhood shaped by the artistry and culture of Paris, France.
Paris is recognized around the world for its influence on fashion, art, architecture, and design. Growing up surrounded by that level of creativity and attention to detail helped shape Dr. Dave’s natural appreciation for beauty, proportion, and individuality.
With a vivid imagination and a deep understanding of smile aesthetics, Dr. Dave approaches each patient’s smile as an opportunity to bring their individual vision to life.
But Dr. Dave is more than a dentist. He is an artisan.
Just as an architect combines technical expertise with an understanding of how a client wants a home to look, feel, and function, Dr. Dave combines clinical knowledge with an understanding of what each patient wants their smile to look and feel like.
He considers what matters most: How do you want to smile? How do you want to feel? How do you want to eat? What do you want your smile to say about you?
He combines those desires with what your teeth, bite, bone structure, facial features, and oral health require. The result is a smile designed for both function and beauty.
There is no one-size-fits-all smile.
The practice sits high above Atlanta in a glass tower with the city laid out beneath it. You will find white carpet, music, refreshments, and the quiet of a room that holds one appointment at a time.
Plan your visitDr. Dave has become known for creating smiles for prominent individuals throughout Atlanta and across the country. From athletes and entertainers to entrepreneurs and public figures, his work has helped transform the smiles of people who live in the spotlight.
But you don’t have to be famous to receive the Frenchy Smiles experience.
Whether you’re an athlete, singer, rapper, entrepreneur, working professional, or simply someone who has decided it’s time to invest in yourself, Dr. Dave believes every patient deserves to feel like a VIP.
At Frenchy Smiles, we roll out the red carpet for everyone. Every patient is treated with the same level of care, compassion, attention, and understanding.
Your smile may not be on a billboard or a red carpet — but it should still make you feel like a star.
Dr. Dave’s artistic approach to dentistry is supported by extensive clinical training and experience.
A graduate of Meharry Medical College, Dr. Dave developed his expertise in implant dentistry and prosthetic rehabilitation while working with a dental organization focused heavily on complex implant and prosthetic cases.
His experience gave him an in-depth understanding of the relationship between oral health, function, structure, and aesthetics — particularly when rebuilding smiles for patients with significant dental needs.
Dr. Dave eventually transitioned into private practice with a different vision: a more personalized experience where he could spend more time understanding each patient’s individual needs and remain closely involved in the design and execution of their smile.
Clinical expertise gives Dr. Dave the ability to understand what a smile needs. His artistry allows him to envision what it can become.
Every smile begins with a private consultation with Dr. Dave, which lasts 45 minutes to an hour in person, or 20 to 30 minutes virtually if you are traveling from outside Georgia. He listens first, and then he designs.
