Hiram to our Lithia Springs office is one road: GA-92 south through Douglasville, where it becomes Fairburn Road and meets Lee Road just below our door. About fourteen miles, 22 to 25 minutes. Call (770) 802-2220 and we'll hold you a same-day appointment, Monday through Thursday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM or Friday 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
The $89 covers the emergency exam and diagnostic X-rays. Treatment is priced separately and quoted to you in writing before any work starts.

How far is our office from Hiram?
Roughly fourteen road miles. From the Hiram Pavilion shopping area at Jimmy Lee Smith Parkway (US 278), take Hiram Douglasville Highway (GA-92) south. It runs straight through Douglasville as Dallas Highway and then Fairburn Road, and meets Lee Road a short distance south of our office in the Publix center. In normal traffic that's 22 to 25 minutes, almost all of it on one road with no interstate.
Paulding County has grown faster than its emergency dental capacity, and a held same-day time 25 minutes south often beats a "we can see you Friday" ten minutes away.
Same-day emergency dental care for Hiram patients
Call first, get a held time, come once. Every emergency service is handled in our office on Lee Road:
- Toothache relief for pain that ibuprofen isn't touching
- Emergency extractions, simple and surgical
- Root canals to save an infected tooth
- Abscess drainage and treatment
- Wisdom tooth extraction and wisdom tooth pain
- 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, so the drive happens once.
What an emergency dental visit costs for Hiram patients
Every visit starts at $89 for the exam and diagnostic X-rays. Then our dentist quotes your specific treatment in writing before any work begins, and you decide. 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.
Without insurance: same $89 start, same written quote, same choice.
Getting here from Hiram
- From Hiram Pavilion and US 278: Hiram Douglasville Highway (GA-92) south, straight through Douglasville, to Lee Road; turn north and the Publix center is right there.
- From the Silver Comet Trail trailhead in Hiram: back to GA-92 and south.
- From Ben Hill Strickland Sr. Memorial Park and the east side: GA-92 south is still the direct route.
- If GA-92 is slow through downtown Douglasville: pick up I-20 east at Fairburn Road, exit 41 (Lee Road), then south about three miles.
Parking is outside the door.
After hours for Hiram 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. A Hiram toothache on a Sunday gets honest advice about whether it can wait and a held Monday 8:00 AM chair. Swelling toward the eye or throat means Wellstar Douglas Hospital in Douglasville, which is on your way to us, first; call us after. The weekend and after-hours page covers what helps overnight.
Before you leave Hiram: three things that help
Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen as the label directs before you get on GA-92, so the medicine is working by Douglasville. If a tooth is knocked out, it goes back in the socket or into milk immediately; twenty-five minutes is inside the window when the tooth stays moist. And make the call to (770) 802-2220 before you leave Hiram, so the chair is held for the length of the drive and the exam starts when you park.
Hiram patients sometimes ask whether to stop at an urgent care in Douglasville on the way. For a toothache, no; they can't treat the tooth. For spreading facial swelling, yes, or Wellstar Douglas Hospital, which is on the same road.
Frequently asked questions from Hiram patients
Is 25 minutes too far for a dental emergency?
For a toothache, an abscess or a broken tooth, no; the held time means the drive is the only wait. For a knocked-out adult tooth, minutes matter: put it back in the socket or keep it in milk, call (770) 802-2220 while someone drives, and if a closer emergency dentist can see you sooner, take it and see us for the follow-up. The knocked-out tooth page has the steps.
Do you send records to my regular dentist in Hiram?
Yes, if you ask. Many Hiram patients keep a family dentist closer to home for cleanings and come to us for the emergency. We treat the problem, and with your permission we send a summary and the X-rays to your regular office so nothing has to be repeated.
Do you see patients from Dallas and the rest of Paulding County?
Yes. Dallas is about 35 minutes via GA-92 and US 278, and the same held-time approach applies. Tell the front desk how far out you are so the appointment allows for the drive.
Can I get the whole treatment done in one trip?
Usually. The exam, X-rays, written price and treatment happen in the same visit for most emergencies. A few things, like a permanent crown after a root canal or a lab-repaired denture, may need a second visit, and you'll know that before you decide.
Do you take my PPO plan?
We accept PPO dental plans, including Aetna PPO, Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, and Guardian. No insurance? Self-pay is welcome at the same $89 start. The service area page lists drive times for the rest of west Georgia.
