As the dentist and owner of Vinings Modern Dentistry, Dr. Jay Lloyd brings advanced training in implants, Invisalign, oral surgery, and cosmetic dentistry to a practice built on honest, unhurried, patient-first care.
Dr. Jay Lloyd was born and raised in Lexington, South Carolina. After graduating from Lexington High School, he attended Wofford College where he earned dual BA-BS degrees in Art History and Economics. While in college, Dr. Lloyd studied abroad in Italy and Greece, and was an active member of the Sigma Nu fraternity, and both Pre-Dental and Pre-Law societies. Dr. Lloyd continued his education at the Medical University of South Carolina where he obtained his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree. He was then selected for an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency at the Foundry Dental Center in Birmingham, Alabama. This residency gave him extensive training in surgical and prosthetic training focused around implant dentistry, IV sedation, wisdom teeth extractions, sinus surgery, and various bone grafting procedures. After residency, Dr. Lloyd moved to Midtown and has made Atlanta, Georgia his forever home.
Dr. Lloyd is an active member of the American Dental Association, Georgia Dental Association, and the Academy of General Dentistry — for which he is seeking his fellowship — and Crown Council. Dr. Lloyd remains passionate about pursuing continuing education opportunities, especially in the areas of digital dentistry, implantology, and Botox for the management of TMJ-related oral facial pain and cosmetics. Dr. Lloyd is passionate about community service, and has gone on several international mission trips to provide dental care to the underserved areas of Jamaica and the Island of Grenada, West Indies.
In his free time, Dr. Lloyd enjoys traveling, working out, cooking, and indulging in a glass of red wine. He also loves spending time with his family, friends, significant other, and his two fur babies—Luna (Siamese) and Scarlet (Beagle-mix).
Certifications and Continuing Education
Dentistry, done right, is about trust. My goal is to create an environment where patients feel genuinely heard, never pressured, and always confident that the care they are receiving is in their best interest. Whether you are coming in for a cleaning or a complex procedure, you can expect the same level of attention, honesty, and precision at every visit.
Dr. Lloyd built Vinings Modern Dentistry around a simple belief: patients deserve honest recommendations and the time to fully understand their care. Every visit is intentionally designed to allow for thoughtful conversation, careful diagnosis, and treatment delivered with precision and intention.
Dr. Lloyd is trained in IV sedation and brings advanced experience in dental implants, oral surgery, porcelain veneers, and Invisalign. He utilizes CBCT imaging for precise treatment planning and Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) to provide a more comfortable and effective hygiene experience, ensuring every aspect of care is guided by patient outcomes.
