How far is our office from Austell?
From downtown Austell on Veterans Memorial Highway (US 78), head west toward Lithia Springs, turn onto South Sweetwater Road, and follow it to Lee Road; the Publix center is on Lee Road. That's about seven road miles and 12 to 15 minutes. From the Six Flags Over Georgia side, I-20 west to exit 41 (Lee Road) and three miles south is about the same. From the Wellstar Cobb Hospital area, Veterans Memorial Highway is the simpler route.
For many Austell addresses, we're closer than the dental offices up Austell Road toward Marietta, and the drive avoids the worst of the I-285 and I-20 interchange traffic.
Same-day emergency dental care for Austell patients
Call first, get a held time, come once. Every emergency service is handled in our office on Lee Road:
- Toothache relief when the pain has outlasted the ibuprofen
- Emergency extractions, simple and surgical
- Root canals for an infected nerve
- Abscess treatment for swelling and infection
- Knocked-out and loosened teeth, where minutes matter (call while someone else drives)
- Broken tooth repair, lost fillings or crowns, and denture repairs
The X-ray, the diagnosis, the written price and the treatment happen at one address, usually in the same visit.
What an emergency dental visit costs for Austell patients
The visit starts at $89 for the exam and diagnostic X-rays. After that, our dentist quotes your specific treatment in writing before any work begins. We accept PPO dental plans, including Aetna PPO, Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, and Guardian; CareCredit financing and in-house payment plans are available. The cost and insurance page explains the process and what we don't do with pricing.
No insurance? Same $89 start, same written quote, same choice.
Getting here from Austell
- From downtown Austell and Veterans Memorial Highway: west on Veterans Memorial Highway, then South Sweetwater Road to Lee Road.
- From the Six Flags and Riverside Parkway area: I-20 west to exit 41 (Lee Road), then south about three miles.
- From Clarkdale and the north side: Veterans Memorial Highway is the direct road; no need for the interstate.
- From the Wellstar Cobb Hospital area: Austell Road south to Veterans Memorial Highway, then west.
Parking is outside the door in the Publix center. Sweetwater Creek State Park sits roughly between Austell and our office, about ten minutes from either.
After hours for Austell patients: the phone still works
The office is closed evenings, Friday afternoons and weekends, and we say so plainly. The phone is answered by a real person at every hour. An Austell toothache at 11 PM gets honest advice and a held chair for the first opening, usually 8:00 AM the next business day. Swelling that's spreading toward the eye or throat means Wellstar Cobb Hospital first, then us for the tooth. The weekend and after-hours page has the details.
Before you leave Austell: three things that help
Ibuprofen or acetaminophen, taken as the label directs before the drive, will have started working by the time you park. If a tooth is out, it goes back in the socket or into milk, not a tissue. And the call to (770) 802-2220 happens before the key turns, so the room is ready while you're still on Veterans Memorial Highway. From Austell that drive is short enough that patients who call at 8:00 AM are often in the chair before 9:00.
One Austell-specific note: if you're on the Six Flags side and I-20 westbound is crawling, Veterans Memorial Highway west to South Sweetwater Road avoids the interstate entirely and takes about the same time.
Frequently asked questions from Austell patients
Are you closer to Austell than the offices in Marietta or Smyrna?
For most Austell addresses, yes, and the roads are easier: Veterans Memorial Highway west avoids the I-285 corridor entirely. Call (770) 802-2220 and the front desk will tell you the quickest route from your part of town.
Do you send records to my regular dentist in Austell?
Yes, with your permission. Many Austell patients keep a family dentist for routine care and use us for the emergency. We treat the problem and forward a summary and the X-rays so your regular office isn't starting from scratch.
My kid got hurt at Six Flags and a tooth is loose. What do I do?
Keep the tooth as still as possible, don't let them bite on it, and call us while you drive: I-20 west to exit 41 is 12 to 15 minutes. If the tooth is fully out, put it back in the socket if you can or keep it in milk, and follow the steps on the knocked-out tooth page. If there's a possible jaw injury or a head injury, the ER comes first.
Do you take my Cobb County PPO plan?
We accept PPO dental plans, including Aetna PPO, Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, and Guardian. Have the plan name ready when you call. No insurance? Self-pay is welcome at the same $89 start.
Do you have Spanish-speaking staff for Austell families?
Sí. Our front desk speaks Spanish during office hours, and the Spanish side of the site starts at /es/. From the first call to the aftercare instructions, the whole visit can be in Spanish. The service area page lists drive times for the rest of south Cobb.
